"Love walks in"

[Bill Lumbergh]

Dave was hugely responsible for getting a legendary band off the ground, then had mega success right after leaving, followed by a couple of multiplatinum albums. If Spammy hadnt been in Van Halen, how big would his career have been?! He would be remembered for his 2 minutes in Montrose and I Can't Drive 55. I want some recent comments on the mega success he's had since leaving the sisters. Dave's career the last decade hasnt been stellar sales wise, but he's a legend. Spammy is nothing.

Road: How would you describe guitarist, Eddie Van Halen as a person?

Hagar: "Eddie's the kinda guy where if he was walking down the street and someone said to him, 'Hey, man the lyrics on 'Amsterdam' sucked.' He would go back to the studio and say it sucked. But, if someone came up to him in the same day, and said, 'Hey, those lyrics on Amsterdam' are cool!' He would come to the studio and say, 'You should write more stuff like that!' Now, that's not what happened. I'm just givin' you an example of the way he is. Ed is easily manipulated, it's ridiculous."

Michael's not evil, the brothers just got him by the balls. I've always felt sorry for Mike. I was the only guy who stood up for Mike. He's in trouble now, Œcause he's got no one to stick up for him. I fought for Mike all the time."

These lines were funny...LOL

Him mentioning the Yoko Ono-thing about Valerie was funny too.

Then again, when his proud of themes like "Amsterdam" and "Marching to Mars" it turns into real comedy...LOL

LMBSAO

So this means Eddie has been very sober lately

Hands down the dumbest things ever said anywhere. Dave has alot of quality's, but good singing is not one of them.

Personally I can't stand listening to Sammy's singing. Celine Dion may be technically a good singer, but do I want to listen to that? Fuck No!

And according to some ads here you can hear them both on the Van Hagar-tour...LOL

Who cares if Ed bullshitted Sammy?

Ed chucking Red Tubs and getting back together with Roth in 1996 was the wisest move he made in years.

Only to be flushed down the shitter a few weeks later.

I said that before...pavarotti has a higher range, same age, a goatie and is nearly as fat as sam...but I don't want him to front VH either...the qualitiy of "singing" is not a faster-higher-louder thing...

[Terry]

What is all this bullshit about Sammy being a better singer?

Roth has a lower natural range than Sammy. Hagar has no bottom end to his voice, and Dave hit high octaves screaming that Sammy couldn't reach with a rocket strapped to his ass.

This nonsense about Hagar being a better singer sounds like so much brainwashing from the Eddie sheep a la EVH.

Red Tubs has one key he's comfortable in, a mid to high end warble that had overstayed it's welcome long before he hooked up with Van Halen.

Before I read anymore.

Damn that was funny what Ed said. I could just picture him saying that.
LOL.

So, Ed and I bumped heads a little bit, but I got my way. I'm usually hard-headed that way, I'll admit. Then, he didn't like the way I sang, 'Don't Tell Me (What Love Can Do).' I said, 'Ed, I think this is the best vocal performance I've ever done in my life.' I sang the fuckin' shit outta that song. Ed goes, 'I don't like it when you scream like that.' I said, 'Ed, I'm the singer here. I can't hit a note that high. You find a guy that can hit a note that high without screamin' and I'll suck his dick, O.K.' Never before did things happen like that. Then with 'Baluchitherium,' (an instrumental off Balance) I really didn't have a good lyric for that. I told Eddie to just make it an instrumental. Then, Ed blamed me for ruining the song by not wanting to write lyrics for it. I said, 'Ed, it's so melodic, you can't sing to it.' Ed then accused me of not wanting to work hard and for being lazy. We started fighting then.

What does this mean?

Road: Do you believe Van Halen had planned a reunion tour with David Lee Roth?

Hagar: "Without question. They had a reunion tour booked, because I was going to go to Europe and break in a band. The promoters said, Van Halen has got the billings and it would be good for me to be there at the same time. I said, 'Wow.' Instead of going right in the studio, I was going to do this thing backwards, by playin' clubs in Europe in the fall of 1996.

What does he mean by clubs in Europe???? I don't get this part.
Break in a band??????

Everyone talks about Dave's uncontrollable ego. Well look at the ego on this bloated asshole. "I had the advantage over Roth, cuz I could really sing" How come I'd rather kiss a shark than listen to your screeching Spam? One thing he was right about was "we developed a whole new following" No shit.

I know the Sammy and Van Hagar fans are not going to believe me when I say this. (and I do not care).My friend has met Sammy so many times and said that Sammy has the biggest ego out of all of them. My friend just saw him at I think Elton John's birthday the other month and said Sammy is still the same Biggest Ego out of all of them.
