I'm torn. I want to believe it. But I'm not going to get my hopes up. I just won't waste any time thinking about it.

This space for rent. -
I don't believe it.
That said, I will continue to drive around with my sunroof open, blasting "Me Wise Magic" out like it's new shit.
Pathetic, I know - but fuck it, it eases the pain (at least it ain't Spammy).

Sigh...here's to hoping."Honey, my shirt got itself torn up. My shirt tore itself on that stripper's hand, and I need it to be sewed up for the show."
"No problem, Dave, no problem. Say hello to Fluffy."
"Fuck you, Fluffy."
"No, no, you're going to upset Fluffy."
"I ain't saying hello to no stuffed bear."
"You know, now that I think about it, it's going to take a little longer to sew up that shirt than I was thinking."
"Hi Fluffy, how you been?"
"Now that I'm thinking of it even more, it's going to take half the time, Double D, Diamond Dave! Would you hold Fluffy?"
"N--- yeah."Comment

Hopefully it's a Dave remake of a Hagar classic titled "I'm up allright but too jammed up for any Breakfast"Comment

Sammy is always "up for breakfast"
he fills his undies every morning at 5 am
(Like Clockwork). His nursing team start the cleaning
process around 6 AM which includes waking Hagar
and jet blasting his crevices and bedding.
Man, that cat is always up for Breakfast......BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !

Nothing critical about posting the information or the poster in the following, but this is the same type of stuff that was circulated by Steve Lukather a year or so prior to the 2004 Van Hagar reunion, and the results were less than stellar.
Frankly, even that sort of news being announced by Roth and the Van Halens themselves either online or via a more traditional media release in and of itself isn't reason for me to think the end result is gonna be stellar by default. Not after paying good money to see a drunken Eddie two years ago.
I'd have no doubts Roth would give the best he is capable of, but unless all band members are ready to go Dave alone isn't gonna be able to pull the whole load. Can't take it on faith anymore that these guys can deliver the goods until the results are heard, and these guys have had MORE than enough time to get their shit together. Sad to say, but Roth threw his lot in with the Van Halens, so he owns part of their snail-paced fuckups now as well. Not that he gives a shit: he's being compensated nicely.
These guys should get rid of Ed's kid, get a proper bass player, record in a proper studio with a producer not afraid to say "it isn't good enough." Hearing these guys are trying to make the record at 5150 with Ed's kid still in the band and Ed calling the production shots ain't no reason to rejoice in my book. For me, that's just yet another step in the slow road to Nowheresville Ed has been walking for the last decade, only now Roth is walking down the road with him.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

"ten albums, in the can"
Why would they be writing, if EVH has ten albums ready to go?
Could it be, Dave is better with the lyrics?
Could it be, EVH is not a writer after all?
To me a guy who clicks the Record button is a composer, not a writer. You're composing to tape.
If there's any writing going on it's from Roth and they should just announce "oh by the way Roth is putting lyrics on our ten-canned albums."
I could find a little more patience if they got out the word if that's the case. But if there's 10 unique Van Halen albums already recorded why the writing - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm3HTkPDGrs John5 going on record is not the kind of public relations one expects from a pro band in getting the word out. So I mostly ignore it.
Doing this kinda interview to me, is called "limelight-leaching" - John5 isn't getting very far in his own writing, so he throws that out about Roth and EVH knowing full well the VH fans will pick up on it and link it till the cows come home, hoping VH are really recording.

This shit sucks! Who wants to hear telecaster played with Vinnie Moore riffs? Where's the lyrics? Oh no need, so long as you can drop a hint on VH to get people to hear it. But I don't like it - does anyone here like it?Comment

Yeah - don't hold your breath...unless you're Elvis. The bottom line is:
Dave's not even allowed on the premises. Hasn't been since shortly before the wedding.
They did try to work on new music, but Ed simply thinks Dave does not have it anymore. Thinks dude CANNOT sing. No live DVD from the "successful" reunion tour? Ed won't release it. Why? Again - according to Ed - Dude cannot sing and the performances were insulting to the legacy of VH. I saw three of the shows and live, it was awesome in the moment...playback was indeed a different story. Gotta side with Ed on this one. You can't replace primal screams with inhaled yelps and Liza Minelli vibrato.
ED is indeed writing at his place, does it every day....but Dave AIN'T singing on any of it.
The next time you hear VH live - it will be on another cash-grab nostalgia tour, and no - there ain't gonna be any new tunes.
Sorry kids, that's just the way it is.Helping RothTards speak in the 3rd person since 2004!Comment
