David Lee Roth Vents About Van Halen's Future

[fifth element]

Am hoping that things have simply slowed down a bit (due to Eddies health, lifestyle)
and that things are not over for good.

Just hope they do not try to wait another 10-12 years......

The déjà vu thing is a bit crazy, when you think of it. John 5 is Vai this time around. Rainbow Bar & Grill is the Crazy From The Heat movie this time around.

The new key player to all of this is the Internet. Back in the '80s, trouble took it's sweet time brewing in cheesy metal mag rumors and MTV hype. These days, every remark hits everyone's eyes and ears immediately and draws instant ire and almost equally instant retaliation. What does Ed think about this latest interview? I'll bet we're gonna know soon enough.

I'd like to think Ed will atleast understand where Dave is coming from regarding the bulk of this, but I fear he may be set off by the manner in which it was done. Dave used the word "disappointment" atleast 3 times. That could yield a retort along the lines of "nobody's holding holding you hostage. If you're unhappy, there's the door." That would surely suck.

[atlantakat]

Well, we waited for over five years for DLR to tell us what was really going on with the band.

Now we know.

"Sometimes friends of ours have Maserati-style talent and they treat it like a fucking lawn mower."

I really hate those moments when you're reading an article and that one single phrase just pops out, encapsulating your present point in life perfectly, while delivering a swift kick right in the nuts...

[big fatty]

I like what Dave had to say.

To tell ya the truth, I'm tired of all their bullshit.
I have 7 great albums from them, I can't decide which one i want to listen too more .

Fuck Eddie vanhalen , he's a lazy fucking snob, I hope he has fun smokin meth for the rest of his life up in his mansion, I couldn't care less.

FUCK YOU.

You little cocksucking piece of shit GOOF.

Eddie was sick and in the hospital. Maybe he has depression or doesn't feel like doing anything this year. He ROCKED the FUCKING SHIT outta VH less than a year ago, and some snivelling little internet puke like you chooses to mouth off . FUCK YOU and evryone else just like you.

Eddie was right about the internet. Too many fucking critics mouthing off. Fuck off.

There's a whole lotta Shakesphere going on in here too.

Yes!! Thank you!

[DLR Bridge]

As far as the 'their not getting any younger' angle, they're always gonna be younger than Cheap Trick who's always gonna be younger than the Rolling Stones. Ailments or none, these guys are far from geriatric. Sadly, it's the time wasting Dave has always spoke of that is their greatest enemy.

Krustina? is that you?

[Heater]

Yeah, the world needs a bunch of CVH songs retooled into dance music. Dave must be thinking how auto-tune might be just the ticket he needs. Getting MA back would certainly make Daves shitty live vocals a bit easier to take as it seems he wants one more stab at glory. Andrew Dice Clay always talks about selling out the Garden 2 nights in a row, you know, resting on his laurels. Now DRo is doing the same? And now a musical? C'mon Dave, give us a break. A little of you goes a long way. Maybe Ed isnt ready to deal with all that again.

[DLR Bridge]

Basically this..

There was an interview with Dave about 10 years ago, I think, where he spoke of time being wasted. I get the same feel from this interview. He wants to go-go-go and I can't fault him for realizing time is limited. I believe it was Classic Rock magazine? If anyone has that I'd love to a link..

That is a great interview.

DLR: We were always disagreeing, we were always at each other's throats about what was the appropriate thing to do, but it was that belligerent, confrontational chemistry that created the music you grew up to. When the guys became relaxed and comfortable with Sam Hagar it was lost. But it doesn't need to be lost forever. I actually consider that chemistry to be a positive force, one that could bode well for the future. We could pick up the gauntlet tomorrow. I'm completely up for that; always have been.


Now, Dave just needs to be careful with that gauntlet.

This is obviously your first time around with the vanhalen saga.

This is 1985 all over again, almost note for note

If you think Eddie vanhalen is sitting up in his house waiting to get well enough to record a new album, your a dumb fuck.
Dave's remark about a lawn mower is a bullseye. Eddie vanhalen is a waste of space up in the Cali hills, he should go rent a fucking shack somewhere like the unibomber.
Eddie vanhalen gave a half assed attempt at a new album, all he did was listen to some 35 year old demos and learn how to play them again so he could rape you of 135 bucks at a concert .
He's a lazy fucking asshole that doesn't give a shit about anything .

He's probably tearing his house to pieces over what Dave said at this moment.

Vanhalen was done in 85, get over it.

[ELVIS]

I'll be the first to admit it: Dave was the weak link on that tour

I think I was the first...

[Hardrock69]

I am tired of it as well. I got 7 great albums. Got to see 3/4 VH again.

If they imploded tomorrow I would be fine with it.

[BITEYOASS]

Frankly, I would prefer the EEAS band to get back together as oppose to waiting on Eddie. It would be a hell of a lot more productive, that's for damn sure.
