This isnt surprising , look at Best of Volume 1, nothing interesting in there either.....Why anyone would want to buy this best of both worlds thing is beyond me anyway....
Diamond Mafia Forever - 4. To restore fullbug to the prominent place in this board, after various serious attacks by hitch1969 have now damaged his reputation and now is reguarded as a "Retarded, Stoned, Canadian, Dog finger bangin' fuckup"

Real problem these days is with a guitar in his hands, Ed's no longer a stellar guitarist.
There's always a chance Ed could stop phoning it in and show some effort, but not as long as he's running the band. He'll just continue to lob out one average idea after another, and Sam and Alex will go "That sounds like the best thing you ever wrote." Then the following month in GUITAR WORLD, you'll read another interview with Ed saying "This new shit is the best stuff I've ever done. So many power ballads and half-assed rockers I've yet to write."
Yep. Better chance than not that Dave will never be back in Van Halen, but considering the state the other 3 turkeys are in, there's no downside to Roth not reuniting.
History has already vindicated the classic lineup. Van Halen fans, even those who continue to stick with the lineup du jour, know deep down what the real deal is.
Well...obviously we have no idea what the guy is like in his personal life...
but if the dude has to fucking mark the fret board...
is still chainsmoking...and hammering whiskey and wine onstage...
I think it certainly leads us all to believe that:
A: His playing has degraded to a point that not many virtuoso's reach...I guess it's not like riding a bike for Ed...
B: He obviously could give a shit about his health...and has fucking learned nothing over the years..
Ed's obviously lost his fucking mind...or is just an ignorant bastard...
and bro...if those statements are true...and Edheads and Hagar fans are the ones posting that shit about the wine and smokes...and the fretboard...than even you can admit that he's losin' it...
of course...we've known it for years...now he's just proving us right...
"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."
but you honestly can't sit there thinking that Ed is at the peak of his artform...as a player...or as someone who is coming off of a career of boozing...and cancer...
Obviously...if the guy is still abusing...he's got issues...that's just common sense...
"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."
Could it perhaps be a reminder for him because he's in the midst of a complete bender?
and before you shoot that one down and say there's no proof...well...there's no proof that ISN'T the case...

Originally posted by tjvhou812 i think the markings on the fretboard was just a joke....
do you really think the guy 4got were the notes are..
lets get real, this is king edward we are talkin about
Sadly my friend I don't think it is a joke. All bashing aside,
we all love(loved) Ed, he obviously has some serious problems.
I hope he can ease up on the drinking, perhaps it's just jitters
and nerves, but I really do wish him well. Having said that,
the way he keeps swearing he won't play with this singer
or that singer again is definately a sign of some kind trouble
on HIS part.
Well...whatever...maybe he should give Al back his guitar...and get to drummin'...so all the Edheads can call him a virtuoso drummer...

if anyone paid attention to the interview eddie did w/ the 2 turds on the radio back in Feb, eddie DID say he still can't read music...that he needs to see where his fingers are!!!
the guy has been playin' for over 30 years folks...even a 10 year old starting out knows/learns a basic blues penatonic scale in E!!?? LOL
i'm not 1/2 the player eddie is, but I know my chords, scales, notes...without looking!!!
c'mon ed, I wanted and learned how to play guitar cuz of you and now you claim all this horseshit about "needing to see your fingers" and markings??? good grief!
how many bootleg videos have we seen eddie playin' with his mouth open and eyes closed???
by the way, why would Vhagar put out another "Best Of..." with 1/2 ROTH tunez on it, but no ROTH pics??? if they had really wanted to disregard Dave completely. they could have re-recorded all the Classic trax w/ shitty...???

"I just got a tidbit from a friend who's working on the packaging for the 'Best of Both Worlds' CD. Eddie insisted there be no David Lee Roth pics anywhere in the booklet or artwork."
That is ridiculous and I will believe it when I see it.
