      I believe it's fairly obvious that there is some sort of agreement in place which includes the entire production team NOT doing any press whatsoever. Given the fragile history & ego's involved, AND the tour's success thus far -- hence, refuting the naysayer's IMPLOSION theories -- I believe the no press agreement was a most wise decision on band counsel's part...

      Now when the issue of new material comes up, we will have an interesting dilemma indeed!!

        VH1 will have to carve out 3 hours for that Behind The Music, that's for sure...

          Like the others have said, you really don't expect them to say anything, do you ??
          Me personally?

          I don't "expect" anything anymore....

          But would I tell them to do the cover? yep.


          But they stopped asking for my opinions long ago.


          Hell, I'm shocked spED didnt want to do it wearing a "Who's this Mike you keep asking about?" T-Shirt.


          But whatever....

          I like the "RS Cover Fuck You" better than the "We're not doing RS" Fuck you...

            9 part mini-series that would put Roots to shame...

                    Rolling Stone gave VH plenty of space and time in the day. One of the funniest comments Dave ever made was in an '84 article. It was the height of Born in the USA mania, and it was mandatory for the world to discuss Springsteen's shows, for their endurance, length, and excitement. The exchnage was something like this:

                    RS: Have you seen Springsteen's concert?

                    DLR: Yeah, it was great. I was very happy.

                    RS: Did you find it to be transcendent?

                    DLR: What do you mean "transcendent"?

                    RS: Well, was it the most awesome thing you've ever seen?

                    DLR: Honey, I can go to White Castle, look in the bag, and say, "This is the most awesome thing I've ever seen".

                      Wrong. Madonna was on Spin's first cover. Dave appearred within the first year to promote EEAS, and while RS gave Van Hagar their endorsement, the ethos and approach of Spin at the time was custom made for Dave (hey, Bob Guccione's kid was the publisher...you can imagine them sitting around together talking trash and doing blow, right?)

                      Dave was indeed on RS's cover to promote CFTH, in an interview done, I believe, by Lisa Robinson, a veteran of rock journalism, who was one of the first to promote and bring attention to the ramones and the entire CBGB/NY punk scene.

                          1. Everyone is forgetting that 10 months ago VH was going to be on the cover of Rolling Stone........so this has zero to do with any moral principles.

                          2. Someone needs to tell Robert Plant 1973 is over and it's time to change his hairdo. He looks like Sammy..............

                            I remember that!

                            Anyone remember RS lambasting EVERY other Dave solo effort?

                            I bet Dave hates those Birkenstocking motherfuckers!!

                              Untrue. RS has labeled EEAS as one of the best rock albums of all time. They praised it.

                              Doesn't mean they're not douches however.
