So Eddie has NEVER been Mad at Sammy? Read on!

[famac]

If Eddie wanted Sammy to resing the song, he should have done it. Sammy was brought in to replace David Lee Roth. As a replacement singer, he should aknowledge the fact that he is in somewaht of a subordinate role.

But you don't get that from the first Sammy quote above. It's more like he's deciding what's good enough and what's not, which Eddie seems to think isn't his call.

And I completely agree. The only problem is, if you use that rationale, they would have to start all over with 5150 because the "singing" wasn't godd enough on any of the Van Hagar tunes.

Wouldn't that be a "Little White Lie" away from the truth?

Remember that video with the chain smoking monkey playing guitar

Probably Sammy's last great song. Because he was pissed when he wrote & recorded it. Exactly the energy missing from the Van Hagar records.

There was energy in Van Hagar records? You lie. lol
But you are right, the best music Ive heard was done out of anger and high energy passion. Sam's passion is Mike's asshole and his Tequila.

Nah, I gotta go with his Cheddarness on this one. If I were the singer, I wouldn't be crazy about my guitarist telling me to sing better, just like it wouldn't have been Sammy's place telling Eddie how to play guitar.

Now on the other hand, if Dave had called Sammy up and told the Ched Rocker how to properly sing a Van HALEN song (or better yet, to not sing them at all) that would have been perfectly appropriate.

The biggest flaw in VDIII, apart from "It fucking blows" is that Cherone was forced to sing like Hagar for the whole record. This is what happens when Eddie, who can't sing (see How Many Say I) is telling a singer how to do his job. Eddie probably would have had a mic stand up his ass if he would have tried that shit with Dave.

So Ed is now playing the tuba while Spammy is taking up the skin flute...lol

I would like to wish Spammy gets that call again real soon. But methinks he is swallowing bucketloads of Van Halen jism this time around.

so do I...but I wonder what it will be like if they really go back in the studio to do another full album...I don't think they are able to work it out one more time...

Look at them though dude! Ed's about to keel over any minute now, Alex needs to be fuckin' propped up and probably needs assistance to fuck his wife, Mike's body is 80% cholesterol. Dave will probably live to be 100 though.

BTW...when they played the 5150 tour "I can't drive 55" was on the setlist...I wonder if they play any hagar-solo-stuff this tour..."Little White Lie" would be a gooooooooooood choice
