It was also less than a year ago I saw the DLR BAND live and he still kicks Spam's ass! Sure Dave quit because the band wouldn't get off their ass 20 years ago and now they've become a joke with what spam has turned this once great band into.
Up For Breakfast vs Everybody Wants Some? what song would you rather hear live? What a pathetic joke hagar is!

Up For Breakfast.

Moron, the black thing was a joke. Secondly, in the whole interview, which I have read, he says were a rock and roll band, Al is the rock and I am the roll.

I know it was a joke, a terrible joke. The alcohol definately affects his sense of humor.

You gotta be kidding me...

No, wait a minute, you are serious.

You'd probably choose It's About Time over Hot For Teacher and Learning To See over Unchained.

Gotcha.

Oh, the black thing was a joke?? Oh, well then Ed should stick to music.

Oh, wait...he gave that up years ago too! Right around the time he became a walking New Age Inspirational program.

So your point is that Dave quit the band because they wouldn't get off their ass? So tell me about their biggest periods of inactivity. Name one band that toured more, produced more, recorded more, made more money than Classic Van Halen, in 1983-1984-1985.

Biggest period of inactivity? 1986-2004! Van Halen did not exist between this period of time!

With a 42-city tour kicking off June 11 and a brand new album, "The Best of Both Worlds" set to hit stores on July 20, VAN HALEN guitarist Eddie Van Halen is a busy man.

VAN HAGAR guitarist. There is NO VAN HALEN without DIAMOND DAVE...

In a true world exclusive and his first major interview in five years, the rock and roll god talks exclusively to Guitar World about his battle with cancer and the triumphant return of his band.

Triumphant? Where? When? Last reharsal I saw was a split between utterly mediocre and shamefully pathetic.

Here are some excerpts from his revealing interview in Guitar World:

Revealing what? That he's full of shit? We already knew that.

On the last six years out of the spotlight: "Well, a lot happened to me. I had hip-replacement surgery, I beat cancer and my marriage ended.

...And your cat died and your dog was ass fucked by a theif who tried to stole your booze. Get a fucking grip, drunk fucktard...

Those were all important and difficult events, and I needed time to deal with them. There was nothing really mysterious about any of it, but all three of those things were extremely personal, and I didn't feel the need to share them with the public.

Who was gonna give a fuck anyway about your personal issues, that's not an excuse for acting like your brain was sucked into a vacuum...

But I never stopped making music. I worked through them, and I discovered there was a light at the end of the tunnel.

A light or a lighter, you stinking carbon-monoxide intoxicated, one-carton a day smoker?

And it wasn't an oncoming train. It changed my life forever. I'm back, I'm black and I'm chasing young white meat! [laughs]

Who does he think he is? Mike Tyson???

He could be blown away with a beans induced fart, unhealthy as he is and looks...

There is nothing that can keep me down. Whatever stands before me I will deal with."

Oh, how brave of you! You forgot "with the help of my friend booze and a rail of Colombian magical white powder."

On beating cancer: "I kicked the shit out of cancer. It never occurred to me that I would die. I figured whatever comes in can also get the fuck out. And it did.

We're talking about cancer here, idiot, not an Hamburger getting the fuck out as a turd, you ugly tard...

On VAN HALEN, the band: "There is a huge misconception about this band and that is without my brother, Alex Van Halen, who is the key, [the band] would not be. He is and has been there for me since before I was born…Without me, there also is no VAN HALEN, because it starts with me. We are not a rock band. We are a rock and roll band."

Your sister, you meant. He's your sister, not your brother. You insult Elvis calling yourself "Rock N' Roll" band. Elvis in his last days of life ate a lot and defecated accordingly, still he was unable to produce a steaming pile of shit like the one coming out of your tongueless mouth.

On what brought Sammy Hagar back to the band: "He called, we had a couple of good conversations and he was back in. It was as simple as that. Usually when bands break up and get back together, things are never quite the same. But I think there's a chance that this will work out because we're communicating a lot better. For example, there was some tension a few days ago. Sam said a few things I didn't like, but we ended up talking about it and cleared it up. That's the way it's supposed to work. I gave him a hug and kiss today and told him that I loved him."

Yeah, he said a few things you didn't like, then he sucked both your and your brother's dicks, swallowed and cleared it up. That's the way it's supposed to work with you homos.

On growing up Van Halen: "The whole time I was growing up, my mom used to call me a 'nothing nut, just like your father.' When you grow up that way, it's not conducive for self-esteem."

Your mom should have beaten you to a pulp and teach you how to kick your drug habits at 12, old wino...

On disciplining his 13-year-old son: "I don't believe in punishment. I rarely tell him, 'Don't do this.' I'd rather try to make him think about the consequences of his actions and allow him to make his own decisions. For example, if he talks back to me, I'll tell him, 'If you treat someone else the way you're treating me, you'll get your ass kicked.' He once asked, 'What’s that like?' And I responded, 'You’ll see.' That's how you learn. Either listen or learn the hard way, but you will learn."

That's good, Eddie, that's how to grow your childs fat, drugged up, stoned and stupid as Jack Osbourne.

On power: "I've been in therapy for over 13 years, and my therapist keeps telling me, 'Focus on yourself, focus on yourself, focus on yourself.' Now, when I go onstage, if people start chanting, 'Eddie, Eddie, Eddie,' like they have in the past, I'm not going to try to silence them because the lead singer doesn't dig it. Instead I'm going to say, 'Thank you.' That's called owning your power — it's not abusing it."

Your only powers are belching from Heineken beer and venting your guts with boasting farts. You can't even play guitar anymore.

On recording the forthcoming "The Best of Both Worlds": "Throughout my career, I've relied on someone else to record my sound, and I can't say that I've ever been really happy with the end result. I never really understood why no one could capture the sounds I make on tape, but I never complained because professional engineers always intimidated me. Now I'm doing it myself, and I think I'm getting pretty close."

Professional engineers always intimidated him! Listen to him, listen to him! Is he sure they were engineers and not pimps? He's so smashed he can barely distinguish in which context he is...

When asked what his choices would be for a VAN HALEN greatest-hits album: "I don't know, because I feel the best is yet to come. The new songs are just an ice cube not even the tip of an iceberg of what is to come."

What a load of shit. Enough with this diarrhea-inducing sick speechs.

Oh, he ain't kidding. He loves "Sammy and the Grammys."

Try some rock music.

No shit! We already know you're a fucking tool! You prove that over and over again with the rest of the velveeta followers at the spam links.

An excuse? Made by and for whom?

There is in fact a great deal of evidence known among some within the radio, records and concert promotions industries that say it is the truth. Dig a little closer here on the site and you'll uncover it.

Sam is IN FACT nothing more than a hired hand front man for this reunion bit, and WAS NOT the first choice to lead it.

He essentially lackey'd into the job by bending over backwards, like it or not.

No offence, just the facts as told to me by those in the loop who would know.

I take no offense. I just have to post shit like this to get anyone to talk to me at all.

But in support of my argument, I did say Spam kissed more ass. No problem with that. Dave would be the first choice as the front man for you, me, and many americans. No prob there either. But it is not JUST BETWEEN ED AND DAVE and I get really sick and tired of people implying that Dave is perfect and Ed is fucked and that is why they are not together. They each one bear a portion of the blame however, CCC could override the brothers in a heart beat. Sometimes compromise does not mean being a lackey, it means being a team player. Dave is not real well known for that. Its why he has gone through just as many bands as Van Halen has lead singers.

LOL!

[Warham]

Excellent commentary, John!

Bravo!

[Carmine]

And finally the comment about we are not a Rock band but a Rock and Roll band. I believe Ed is justifying his acceptance of "ballads" etc., and saying he does not want to get stuck in one hard and fast genre of music. I am glad. Classic Van Halen had some good tunes that never got produced because they did not "fit in" on the album. It may be hard for some die hard rock fans to accept, but I like a little variety and hope to hear more of it. [/B][/QUOTE]


I agree here. 2 of my favorite tunes from VH are "secrets" and "women in love" Both are total fucking classics!

Very good points, can't really argue them at all.

Truth be told, AL was and remains more at the core of the "issues" than anything.
