up with those lyrics!!

It's weird, too, because I remember interviews, after the Sammy split, in which Eddie expressed his unhappiness with Sammy's goofy lyrics. I wonder whether Eddie considers this an improvement, or he just stopped caring.

It is one thing to change it up and another to miss changes, play in the wrong key, forget parts, play out of time. EVH's guitar playing is one of 2 main parts that made up VH. Dave was the other. Dave is gone, all EVH has no is the guitar parts that he created. If he "changes" them to crap, then there is nothing left.

Big Daddy is correct. I saw the show and this is the case. Ed missed his cues on "Dreams" and "Jump" and a dozen others. No offense to those who think Ed can still play, but if you were a guitar player like myself you would understand.

I still maintain that Edward will get his "stuff" back...it is just rust and alcohol isn't helping him any. It might take a couple of months, but it will come back to him.

A professional that gave a shit about his fans would have practiced BEFORE going on tour...not at the end of or even after the tour. When you accept $$$$$$$ to play a show, you have the responsibility to give the audience their monies worth. What good is it if he gets his chops back just in time to sit and play all alone in his studio?

There's one, AND THE BODY MEANS ONLY ONE man that can bring Ed back from the edge of the total fucking BULLSHIT that he has become... and you ALL know who that is, and it's SURE AS SHIT NOT ROY!!!!

So Dave is going to write the new songs and teach Edward how to play again? You guys put way too much faith in a once great rock frontman.

ITS ABOUT TIME alright.....Time for those alcohol soaked crack-addicted bagmen to realize that Spammy can't write a hook to SAVE HIS LIFE! Or, he just refuses to give Van Hagar his best stuff, as he plans on keeping anything even remotelt catchy for his next Waborita CD. I haven't even heard UP FOR BREAKFAST or the third tune because their NOT GETTING PLAYED IN DETROIT!!!!! Its just like it was before the Sham Halen reunion......DETROIT RADIO PLAYS CLASSIC VAN HALEN BECAUSE DAVID LEE ROTH RULES!!!!!!!!!!!

yet they packed em in this weekend. I was there, dont gfeed me youre bullshit.
