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

[Panamark]

We really need Dave to spark things up again, dont we...

[Panamark]

A new Rock album !! To coincide with the release of BOV2 ! Now that could be interesting !!

[DavidLeeNatra]

to be honest...I don't need a "rock"-album that desperately...I just whish for an album with originals...classic dave...can be bluesy, funky...don't mind...but I prefer originals...I don't need dave to "compete" with van hagar...at least he's far superior anyway...

[ELVIS]

Yes!

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.

ROTMFFLMMFAO, Dude, e-mail me your address and i'll send you a case of Guiness.
This is by far the best post i have ever read from you.

And not one mention of anything political....I am soooooo damn shocked.

C'mon, I'm serious, you earned some brew ha ha, buddy.

Dude, I think Diamond Dave just did all that for you ??
(Except that it was covers)

I think Dave is at his best when he is Rocking out... But I dont mind some of his Bluesy stuff. I think it would be a good marketing move to release *something* around the same time as BOV2. For me, I would prefer Rock..

Actually I like "Diamond Dave" but you're right about the covers...I want to hear dave telling me HIS stories not others...I prefer rock, too but I was always digging dave doing different things...what I really loved to hear would be a BO-album of dave all done big-band-style with the mambo slammers...like the pat boone "in a metal mood"...great album with a lousy singer...

[Panamark]

Hey, is that Pat Boone who sings Crazy Train at the start of the Osbournes ?

[DavidLeeNatra]

yes

[DavidLeeNatra]

he did "panama" on the album, too...with zappa jr. on the guitar...dio sings the chorus to "holy diver" and blackmore played the guitar to "smoke on the water"...the arrangements on that album are stellar...but as I said...the singer sucks...dave would have been just perfect on it...

[Panamark]

Yeah Ive heard Panama ! I knew about that album (But have never seen the track listing) and figured that it was probably him singing The Osbounes theme. They used to be neighbours. Ozzy reckons he was a great bloke. I never knew that Blackmore and DIO were on that album. You obviously like that sort of thing..

I like it!!! when I was studying I made my living with a small combo called "The Jazz Pack" and we were doing sinatra (guess where my name comes from) and dean martin songs...but my piano man and me came from rockbands and so we played "jump" with a very funny piano arrangement and queens "we will rock you" in a very laid back jazz-lounge style...(our reggae version of "highway to hell" never made it on stage because it was too far away from the other stuff) it was fun watching people going like "I know that song from somewhere...shit...these fuckers play "jump"!!!

[Panamark]

Hahah ! Sounds like fun..

The funniest thing I saw recently, kinda related, was a band from the US called Hayseed /DC . They were like a bunch of banjo playing Hill Billies doing all these classic Bon Era AC/DC songs.. (On the banjos)
You ever seen these guys ?

NOOOOOOOO!!! but I'd love to hear THAT !!! I really don't mind people doing that...I'm really open minded to all kind of creativity...what I hate is, if people redo their songs the way bon jovi did (not if the originals were much better) or if I just hear the "oh-we-got-success-this-way-so-let's-do-another-cheesy-love-comes-walking-in-ballad"-attitude...

[Panamark]

Cheesy Love Ballads are the fucking worst ! They are obviously written for women, you have to wonder about the blokes that like this kind of music.

Spammy fans, thats directed at you !
