Just 20 years ago, I don't think they would get away with that line any more.
My New Years resolution is to say "A woman?" in my best Roger voice any time one says anything in a meeting or so forth.

Ed also went on to say in that recent Guitar World interview the following:
What singers and musicians is Edweird currently alleged to have a working relationship with..?I've got all kinds of music i could put out if i wanted to.
People don't take in consideration the other guys in the band.
I write all kinds of music that certain singers or musicians don't want anything to do with.
So what do i do?
VH conjures up a certain image, and if its a hair outside that image it won't be accepted.
Al, Wolfie... and maybe Diamond Dave.
I smell the Michael Anthony Syndrom brewing again... The Van Halen's going off the radar. The living can only sit around doing nothing for so long. They strike up a project with former band members to fill the time while Ed fucks off... Bam... Another one bites the dust!!"If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

That ain't half a bad idea, sir...
Mind you, it might stop one from getting laid.
Ah, who cares? A good laff justifies everything.

At this point a Roth solo album written with Johhny whatshisname would probably be better than a the three of them and Eddies child.
John 5 was involved in writing most of the best of the DLR Band album, Slam Dunk!, Blacklight, Counter-Blast, Little Texas, Wa Wa Zat!, Relentless and Weekend With the Babysitter.
All that let that album down was weak production, too many personnel and Roths vocals were a bit ropey. If they sort those things out then album for album its probably going to be better than anything the Van Halens could come up with at this stage.
If as seems likely, Roth only got to input the lyrics rather than what he used to do back in the day then how much better could you make something like 'Up for breakfast' sound. Not too shit?
I say he should go with this Johnny chap and say to the VH sisters he is only getting involved in a VH album if its a proper one and not some half baked Van Hagar reject album with him singing on it.
Cheers!

The tipping point in all of this is what (if anything) would EVH use as inspiration for writing new material? Perhaps a year of touring playing the old riffs might lead him back to the simplicity of the past in terms of writing, but you have to wonder exactly how much of it would serve as little more than going through the motions at this point. It's difficult for guys in their 50s to rekindle the past through much more than nostalgia, and even the greatest athletes lose the edge they once had in their youth. So if that is the case, I'd rather not hear any "new" stuff that was more or less an approximation of the past. That was the running theme of the dog and pony show known as the 2007/08 tour, wherein the flashes of true inspiration were few and far between. Yes, the effect is as comfortable as putting on an old sweater at times, but even that begins to chafe after a while.

The question of Ed having the inspiration to compose again is valid...
Odds are good 98% of his past creations were inspired by a straw up his nose, the bottom of a bottle and a carton of Winstons plus the hunger/drive of a young man...
All that's left is the smokes and rusty memories...
Maybe Wolfie can bring something to the table that can fire up the old men... Hopefully the boy has more drive than he displayed on-stage. But being Ed's son I'd have to think the nut didn't fall far from the tree...
Someone else suggested this but Ed should consider hawking clocks with no hands..."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

Agreed, especially if the majority of the stuff that he would come up with is a replica of the Hagarita era....
I would "hope" that's where Dave's input in the process would make a difference, but we shall see....Eat Us And Smile - The Originals
