I can tell you one thing that DIDN'T happen in 2004. Mike DIDN'T tell Ed that he wanted Roth to be the singer in the band.

Originally posted by diamondsgirl what has Mike done for Dave lately?
Can't help ya there!? I stopped following those "other three" guys shortly after DAVE split! I imagine if anyone in that camp had anything good to say about DAVE it was Mikey! Has he talked smak about DAVE?? I couldn't tell ya! Like I said ... those guys dropped off my list of people I have an interest in!

He didn't, and thats because he never had any fuckin say in anything anyway...hell, he wasnt even allowed to play bass on any VH albums since FUCK.
And you think for a split second that the bassplayer who wasnt even allowed to play bass actually had a voice in the band? lol

Who gives a shit what he's done for Dave? This isn't Kindergarten class with share-time. This isn't a moral lesson. This isn't eye-for-an-eye. This is supposed to be the reunion of a rock band.
And Eddie gets his son who has been playing for "three months" to play bass and further ruin the legacy.
Christ, doesn't it bug any of you that if they go up there and suck (which they may do because they have an untrained bass player and a drunk guitarist), this could tarnish the legacy of Van Halen?
DG, I've seen you write plenty of times that VH is the four original members.
Well, damn straight. That's the sound. That's the magic.
Bringing the kid out there is an ego-trip on Eddie's part to control the band as much as possible. He doesn't want to just own Van Halen...he wants to be Van Halen.
I would rather remember the pairing of Dave and Ed as brilliant instead of what it might be...
I may see this tour...but this is pure bullshit.
It doesn't matter if Mike is an asshole. He's not half the asshole that Ed is...and Ed's still up there.

Gimme a break. It's Mike's fault that they got Sam instead of Dave?? Mike didn't even have anything to do with the 2004 tour until Sam made an ultimatum. Ed wanted to fire him back then.
And it was Ed and Al that didn't want Dave there in '04 because he was suing them over their fucking him over with record royalties.
Seriously, people will see things however they want to...but the bottom line is that the brothers don't even deserve Dave.

Wolfie will give this tour a great family values/reality show feel that is so much the rage these days. While Dave is singing about banging everybody's girlfriend after slamming a lukewarm bottle of Jack, the prudes will just be focused on the sweet young thing on bass.

Originally posted by hideyoursheep What happened to "I hate people who support everything Roth does!"
Is there some self-hate goin' on?
You shouldn't have to support everything Roth does OUTSIDE of the music industry. (ie- Roth Radio, etc etc)
But you should support his musical endeavors... the dlr band with Brian Young... Back in Van Halen with Eddie...
If you don't wanna see Eddie and Dave onstage together...
Then that doesn't make any logical sense to me...
Especially because of people like Sammy Hagar & Michael Anthony who said "The Other Half is BETTER than Van Halen" .. and has made questionable remarks about their former bandmates.

I think it's a brillant marketing move myself.
I remember bringing that theory up awhile back. Welcome To The Machine meets Wish You Were Here. It's probably not that far-fetched. One things for sure, the suits ain't gonna go in for the guerilla marketing tactics after the recent Cartoon Network debacle.

Yes, actually he has. Although he was just being a Hagar parrot. In other words, saying the same things Hagar has said.
I don't pay much attention either, except when they are trash talkin Roth.

If he was asked...do you think he would have said Roth over Hagar??
keep dreaming....
