Is this true about Dave?

[VH LINKS SUCKS]

Desmond Child worked with Dave on Me Wise Magic and CGTSNM??

[MAX]

In CFTH Dave mentioned that the brothers wanted to bring him (Desmond Child) in and Dave said doing that would be "Syphilis to Van Halen."

[BrownSound1]

Yeah, they wanted to bring in that panty wasted sumbitch, but thankfully they didn't. Hell, they were even trying to write lyrics for Dave, but of course he would have none of that.

"Well, I'm sorry. Desmond Childs for Bon Jovi may be the exact right thing. For Van Halen it's syphilis. Any amount kills the entire organism. Okay? These sanguine, sissified, grew-up-way-too-close-to-mommy lyrics. It sounded awful but even then I tried to sing some of it."

[Other-defcon]

Desmond Child = cheezy love songs to die upon a beach in the sunset in your eyes Baby, oooh Baby...
This man is dangerous. Call the F.B.I. before he could spread deadly mellow love songs, please...

[ALMOSTsaved]

Dave is correct. Even though I enjoyed "I'll Wait", I always felt the the songs VH performed should have been written by the 4 members of the band with no outside help or none of the members at all.

Covers were more than fine, because VH made them their own.

Livin La Vida Caca.

[DaveIsKing]

Leave the "love shit" to AIR SUPPLY.

Fuckin' HAGAR ruined the GODS of ROCK.

[FORD]

Desmond Childmolestor will never write a Van HALEN song.
