Van Halen's Babysitter

[Angel]

In a way you have a point. But I think at the end it all comes down to weather you like the person in question or not. I don't like Ed. The way he has treated DLR through the years is terrible. I couldn't care less about his health status or his looks or whatever. I just don't like him.

Just because you don't like someone is no reason to insult their looks, or make fun of the battles they've had in life. That's just bully tactics.

Addicts are the biggest assholes to the people they care about the most. I suggest you get over it. Dave obviously has.

If Dave has moved past it, perhaps it's time you do too? It appears to me that Dave seems to be loving the shit out of being on stage with everyone...

Well said Angel...

Maybe Dave has other interests in forgiving then i do. You can't unsay things. And this is all still fresh, maybe in a couple of years i will get past it, but right now I feel like any minute now the sisters will bring in Gery Charone.

Well, rather then dwell on the past, I'm going to enjoy the fact that The Mighty Van Halen are playing sold out shows through out America, enjoy the shit out of the fabulous new album they have put out for us fans and relic in the fact that they all seem to be happy and healthy.

What a fucking tool.

Right there with you Angel...I think for a man who has struggled with addiction and is fighting his way back, he looks quite good. A lot of men his age don't look as well. And honestly, as long as he is healthy, happy and doing what he loves, that makes a person attractive no matter what.

The Van Halens seem to have good genes. It makes you wonder how much better Al and Ed would look if they never abused themselves the way they did. What helped Ed's looks was getting his teeth fixed. I wonder if those are dentures or if he had to have some extensive implants done?

I LOVE the new album, I can't wait for them to tour Sweden. But I don't take anything for granted. As a wise band called Abba once sung: history is always repeating itself. And if it does I know whos side i'll be on, and thats Dave.

Are you really that stupid? There are other pages for people like you to go to. Get lost!

If you really "loved" the new album you would quit shitting where you eat.

I remember reading an interview with the people that ran Musicman and they said they did everything Ed wanted them to do and then he just goes off to Peavey and starts slagging Musicman. Hartley Peavey said their dealings with Ed were both sweet and sour. He said they really made some great stuff with Ed but then Ed had some strange ideas and got difficult to work with. It seems like Ed has a kind of attention deficite disorder where he's loyal and happy and then becomes disloyal and unhappy. I don't know if it's the booze or cocaine or what the deal is but the guy seems to not be stable. I mean Eddie's new wife seems to have the guy in control but then Ed might wig out again and go off.

I just look at the guy as a creative genius, a strange confused if not insane person, and if he's firing on all cylinders he still can play great and come up with some good stuff. I mean really why are we even interested in him? Because of his musical talent. If that didn't exist he would just be another asshole in that huge sea of people called the greater Los Angeles area.

You're a fucking idiot. What the fuck did anyone do directly to you that they require your forgiveness?

You're really starting to piss me off...congratulations, you've graduated from bitch to cunt. FUCK OFF!!!!

Amen!!! Exactly my point!

That's all you can do. I thought we would be hearing Ed Van Halen died from a heart attack or overdosed on something. I thought his mind was gone to the point where he no longer was going to produce anything worth the time of day. Dave and the Van Halens are private people. Sure Dave can do the public schtick better but unless it's promoting a band he's in Dave pretty much disappears. Ironically Ed does more interviews than Dave does but it's more guitar oriented stuff.

None of these guys are normal and they are getting old. Enjoy it while you can.

Wow. Lots of scrapping here. This thread needs a little levity.
