Am I over reacting?

Give us your thoughts on this sub-Freudian graphic.

Like other forms of self mutilation, the physical pain of putting his arms in the fiery oven helps him disconnect from the emotional pain of working with Hagar.

If you ask me.

Fat Mullet has got we he deserves.

He has been so two faced, over the last 10 years, he`s fucking unbelieveable!

Fuck you Fat Pig, and your hillbillie, retarded fans!

The first Van Halen was a band , all equals but Van Hagar must

without Mike agreeing .
After the greatest hits album was made and Dave found out
he had been used , I don't remember Mike joining in on the
"Dave's washed up" , "Daves a goofball" shit the sisters
were spewing.
If he didn't , why does the majority of the Army hate Mike
just for choosing Sam over Ed and Al?
If Sam never bad mouthed Dave after he took over a gig that
Dave quit , I could see the Army saying Van Hagar was not as
good as Van Halen (with Dave) , but would there be a reason
to hate him?

Well, it wasn't like 'Van Halen' were exactly doing much of anything after Cherone bailed up until, say, November of 2003 to November / December 2004 (whenever the 2004 tour ended). And the band pretty much did fuck-all from the beginning of 2005 until the end of 2006. So it's not like a reasonable person can really blame Anthony for wanting to do something with Hagar. I don't bear MA any ill-will for wanting to do SOMETHING other than sit around and watch Ed demo '3 to 4 albums worth' of material that's never gonna see the light of day, anyway.

Would seem that Anthony joining in with Hagar in making comments about EVH's behaviour on the 2004 tour (true or not) probably wasn't a wise move.

Truth be told, it's not really a hate scene for me re: Hagar, Anthony or Cherone. I've just got no use for Hagar or Cherone, period. And unless MA is in Van Halen, I've got no use for him, either.

All that having been said, MA should be playing with the band. Not Wolfie. I realize Wolfie was probably the pivot point and reason Roth is back with the band now, and that Ed needs to feel good about who he's playing with these days to be bothered enough to go out and work, but it still doesn't negate the fact that Ed and his brother are a couple of dickheads.

Great post Terry, as per the norm. The dynamics of the situation are what they are. They are steeped in a menagerie of contempt, jealosy and bitterness. There are really no "good guys" involved, save for Wolf. I know, I know...Wolf may be a juvenile calculating bastard, for all we know. The aforementioned white hat is in regard to his "newbie" status. See, he hasn't made any negative remarks about former or present band members.....yet.

People should just come to grips with the fact that Michael Anthony doesn't wear a fucking white hat. He's not some jovial guy...free of contempt, jealosy and bitterness. He ripped Dave during Van Hagar status....he chose sides with Edward's recently-most-maligned.

I dunno....the concept sells itself.

I thought when you sold your soul to the devil for fortune and fame you had to make a reference to Satan on your web page. I think it’s in the contract somewhere.

Not to make excuses for Mike , but maybe he
felt if he didn't bad mouth Dave he might not
keep his job.

These guys are all dicks, David Lee Roth included. Why even fool ourselves about it? Van Halen, with Roth at the helm, is singularly THE greatest rock and roll band of this (or any other) generation, but as people? They're all a bunch of fucking egomaniacal dicks, some bigger than others, but all equally accountable.

At least, if the definition of being a "dick" in Van Halen is talking shit about a current/former member of the band, anyway.

Now that I think about it, Gary Cherone would be the only one to get a pass in that regards...

Tour blog.


LMAO!


He blogs?




HE TOURS?!?!

I never quite got how they tricked Dave and used him. I'm sorry but as soon as people find out Dave isn't on the new record or tour it's not going to sell. I never got that one at all. You can't use Dave Roth to promote Van Halen III and the tour when he isn't the singer. Why wouldn't Ray Daniel's want Dave back? Look at the money Dave made that band on this current tour. The number two grossing act of the year. I think it all just blew up because of Eddie.

Just like this current tour stalled because of Eddie. If there is a fuckup, all roads lead to Ed.
