VH 93 Hot For Teacher

[fraroc]

Didn't Ronald McDonald say in his book or something that towards the end Ed and Al were playing classic =VH= songs at soundchecks that they knew he couldn't/wouldn't possibly sing just to piss him off?

I wouldn't trust anything that came out of that book, Trust me, it's 211 pages of Hagar whining about how much of an asshole Ronnie Montrose and Eddie are. The chapter that he joins Van Halen he makes it seem like he's fucking superior to Eddie when everyone knows its the other way around. Possibly the only speck of truth was the chapter about the 2004 faux-reunion, and of course everyone knew that Eddie was going through a hard time during that era, we didn't need Sammy's opinion.

He said it, yup - and I say, yay! Good for Eddie and Alex. They were pissing him off and giving him subtle hints that he wasn't the only singer that band ever had.

But he never retold that story in the official book that came out last year - it was in the one that he took out an injunction to stop, which was going to be called Red Storm Rising, which was ghost-written by some Texas journalist. It's much more juicy than the official one, judging from the excerpts that were floating around on the internet - about three chapters were out there.

Yeah, the brothers don't look good - but much as I hate Hagar, I believe him on what he says about them. It just fits with everything we've publicly seen.
