Not as stupid as it sounds, I was just reading some
medical news journals and apparently syphillis is
"enjoying" somewhat of a large scale comeback ????

Bit a of a throwback to the Dark ages, hey chaps...

Did you tip her?

Yeah, I gave her a tip. I suggested that since she didn't want to feel better, she should quit talking to me and go chew up a bunch of sleeping pills. A couple of folks in line didn't like my suicide solution. I assured them that her dentures would probably fall out trying to get the lid off the pill bottle or some shit....like, she'd be a suicidal failure.

Did kinda over-sanitize the place...

I think if the band (specifically Dave) did some more press there'd be more to talk about than say, Ed's solo routine with the drumstick and the Guitar World article....

I think it's because the board is so damn slow, it pushes alot of people away.

Sometimes it takes me 10 minutes to make ONE single post.

So that's what we get from your 10 minutes jztbcz?

An assload of hyphens and a "ditto?"

I'm not sure which is scarier....that the hyphens and "ditto" were all you could muster, or that you spent 10 frustrating minutes just trying to get it to post.



Anywho....as for me, there are a few things that have impacted my participation the Roth Army.

1. How fucking slow it is...

2. Hyman Roth

3. An influx of incredibly stupid people who have glommed on since the reunion began. New members are cool and all, but so few have actually brought something to the table...

4. And lastly, to a small extent, the reunion itself. To me, the Roth Army was about celebrating Diamond Dave and rebelling against the VH sisters and how they treated and regarded DAVE. Now that they're reunited and on tour, and all is (supposedly) "happy" in Camp Van Halen, it just doesn't have the same "feel."

Warham nailed it...the internet is for bitching. Sure, we can all sit around getting warm fuzzies by critiquing VH's last performance, and how Ed was having an "on or off" night, and how Dave's vocals still hold up, and how Wolfie can hold his own...

But the bottom line is that all of this was much more fun when discord was rampant and the future of Van Halen and David Lee Roth was still an unknown.

But I betcha if they suddenly put Michael Anthony back in the band after this tour is over, that activity here will ramp up.

He shoots he SCORES!!!!!!! Yeshhhhhhh

To post this .

3min to log on then the white screen of death .

Open up front page again 3.5 min.

5 min to get to this page.

By the time I can post sometimes the thrill is gone.

It also is somewhat silly that Mods chase off silly posters delete silly posts that are in actuality no more silly that the great informative -saving the world- "Info" posts that dominate this site and allow
posters who offend everybody a free ride.

My posts are generally metaphor and require three dimentional thought some around here have all the answeres name names like they are gods of the Info.

Fukk Em!

The Army ain't dead .

I am not down with the sickness.

Roth On Bitchez!

No one's a bigger Ed-head than myself, but even i miss getting my panties in a bunch over the exchanges at this site.
Granted, i never signed on much with a rebuttal, but believe me, i read what was said.

But i have noticed a change in character on these forums.
Peace has overtaken the valley, and i think we need some much needed friction in VH land (or at least a damn box-set!) to keep our tongues a waggin'.

It's sad to see classicVH.com go down once again to braindead hijackers, and it's disconcerting to see everyone getting bored at the army.

I miss the bitchin', man!

I actually found this site when I heard the rumours about Dave doing a reunion tour with the brothers and Wolfie.
I figured it would just be rumours after a couple of other tours never got started .
I read a couple threads and decided to add my two cents.
I said something not 100% anti Sammy and the shit was on .
One poster gave me friendly advice that Sammy is to be only despised here but the others were foaming at the mouth .
Cool , lesson learned , Sammy Hagar public enemy #1.
And I won't even go into detail about the dictators of the front line.
And then you had a period of time when the site would not accept new members .
Excellent timing early part of the tour when new fans would be looking
on the net for info about Dave and the band.
And the people on this site that feel they are somehow experts on every subject due to their lower member number.
Maybe if they weren't so hostile more people would participate.

When the dawn comes, you either keep on partying or go to bed.

Now that the Reunion Tour is on, it seems quite a lot of us quit bothering. But it didn't show at once, the Army kept extremely busy for a long while before there was this trough.

Add the page-to-page, forum-to-forum slllooooowness, and maybe a bit of negativity here and there...
Last but not least, the craziness that is a trademark of this site tends to be slowly vanishing. Quite a few key posters have been missing for that matter.
Luckily though quite a few have never left the House.

well i haven't seen em yet, going in baltimore and hershey.
Seats aren't that great, don't want to spend a truck load on the tix. I've seen Dave by himself on his tour right before the reunion there is no way this tour can be better then that show. I think a lot of Dave fans feel that way. If they changed the set list around or something that'd be something.

[ppg960]

I have found the site slow as well.
Been really busy lately but still love the site.
It should live on even with Roth back in the band.

[Steve Savicki]

I think the army killed itself.
