    The odd couple

    Why are Dave and Ed so different?

    The whole band use alcohol and drugs when together, for some people including myself, it effects people differently. The band probably will not get together indefefinately. Dave seems to has his stuff together, being enthusastic, outgoing, and confident about himself. He does have ego. Ed on the other hand has ego, but has alcoholism is out of control and he'll probably die soon if he does not stop drinking. He ruined the band because of his alcoholism, paranoria, control issues and etc. They will never reunite old VH with a major label, Warner Brothers.

    I give Sammy credit for wanting old VH to reunite.

    Alex has been non existant which has been disapointing. He's an awsome drummer, even with a neck brace, but really probably retired.

    No one really knows the inside on this forum about the break up in 1985, 1996, or 2001, just rumors. Oh, Dave fucked one of Alex's wifes. Dave had an ego problem, ed had an was drinking too much and had to take time off, and dave wanted to continue making music and touring in 1985.t's all bull shit.

      My question is why Al or Sam or Mike never tried to get Ed into rehab. Or maybe they did. But Al's supposedly been sober for some time. I think Al had more responsibility to get Ed straightened out. Regardless, they all were co dependent enablers, from drinking around him, to not trying to intervene. Or as far as I know.

            Like the old saying goes:
            "Opposites Attract". That's more than likely what made the band so good for many years.

                            Dave would most likely have been successful and happy in whatever he chose to do with his life had he not made it big in rock n roll, because it is in his nature. Eddie Van Half Tongue is a troubled guy that is so special with the one area of his life (guitar playing/song writing and guitar/amp innovations), but really hasn't been happy the minute he has to be involved with the real world. His early interviews show the same troubled guy. He will never be stable because his issues never get resolved and I believe he has a chemical imbalance. I have read where Dave thinks so, too. They can be hereditary, so maybe Al has it to a lesser extent, too

                              It's called alcoholism and it often is hereditary. Ed's dad died from that particular disease.
