Untrue! When EEAS first came out they praised it, and said of Vai's playing that he was, quote, embellishing on what Eddie V built.Originally posted by rustoffa
I remember that!
Anyone remember RS lambasting EVERY other Dave solo effort?
I bet Dave hates those Birkenstocking motherfuckers!!
Skyscraper got a lukewarm review (which is, frankly, more than it deserved), and after that, who even remembers?
In '86, the RS readers poll DID give Van Hagar a massive thumbs up and DLR's solo career a beating. It was that years "HOT" issue and the cover said something to the effect of "Van Halen is Hot, David Lee Roth is Not".
Still, sfw? The magazine trashed Zep for longer and harder than they ever beat up Dave or VH, and look who's on the cover now?
They should've done itRIM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!Comment

I think its a good move. although it would have been nice for fans.

True, however, I can half understand why they are taking this stance and IMO it has nothing to do with keeping Dave's mouth shut.
See, the Van Halen brothers have said a lot of bullshit over the past 22 years, since the breakup of CVH. Whether it was saying how great Sam is to the band in 1986 to saying how great it is to have Gary in the band back in 1998.
All bullshit.
So much has been said in the press, good or bad, I just think that the whole band, DAVE INCLUDED, decided that they wouldn't be doing any press 'cause you know they will be asked stuff like:
- Mike
- Sam
- The breakup in '85
- the MTV debacle in '96
etc, etc.
Everything they say regarding those things will be scrutinized in a way that Dave, Ed and Al just wouldn't win. People would be like, "oh they are bullshitting the fans again with all this stuff about how they are getting along better than they have been."
They said what they wanted to say at the Press Conference and that's it.
As far as this tour goes.
Now if they were to promote a new album, then yeah, they'd have to do more press."I've been rich and I've been poor....rich is better, totally better"Comment

I'm not a fan of Rolling Stone, but a cover story would have been great global publicity for VH. I'm sure Dave wanted to do it. Perhaps the journalist insisted on asking the brothers too many hard questions.Comment

hanna montana is selling out because all girls in the nation between the ages of 4 to 14 love her. I fuckin stupid. And the fact that she is on tv non stop and backed by disney. I work with kids (it sucks) and they eat that shit up. It's sickening.Originally posted by bueno bob
Well, I can see both sides of the argument, but The Beach Boys don't do any press when they go out and tour, either. I honestly think the reason Miley Cyrus is kicking their ass nightly boils down to the fact that they're not doing any press out of fear of being asked tough questions. I think those tough questions SHOULD be asked and I think the Van Halens oughta step up to the plate and answer them. Were they doing press, answering questions and getting themselves "out there", so to speak, I might be more positive that this thing is going to stretch out long term.
Personally, and I may be Mr. Negativity here, but I don't think it bodes well for the future at all. As it stands, I'm still calling it as I see it - a greatest hits tour cash grab that's not going to go the distance and will implode as soon as the tour's over. Ed & Al will slip back into obscurity, Dave will go do something on TV and Wolfgang (surprise) will have a foot up in the music industry.
A blurb on their website? A press conference in a hotel lobby? A no show at the RNRHOF by anybody that mattered? Now saying "No" to the RS cover? Saying "No" to interviews and/or promotion at all?
This is not how Van Halen does business.
