Anyone can write a book about Van Halen. Let's see...
Chapter 1:
About what, early 70's, two brothers, one Jew and one half-Jew got together to form a band. For the most part, they sucked. They were lazy, uneducated, unemployed, but loved pussy and free beer. They would gig most anywhere for pussy and beer but after awhile could no discern which was more stale. Then another Jew sought an opportunity to make money off of them and sign them to a lopsided record deal. A poorly mixed and generic album was made that was basically forgotten rip offs of some sucky Blue Oyster Cult tunes. They made 5 more albums just like this. Eddie adopted a black kid, spawned a F A T kid and their singer went bald.
The rest would have to be filler.Beware of DogComment

I know they played a lot of small gigs back in the day but I've always figured them as spoiled rich kids. I know Dave's folks were rich. Pasadena's kind of a high rent district and has been for years. I kind of assumed the Van Halens were fairly well off too.Beware of DogComment

No, the Van Halen's were anything but wealthy. They kind of held it against Dave in the earliest days, because he did come from money. The first time Dave auditioned for them, they booted him out. It was a couple of years or so before he finally got in with them. Seriously dog, read the book. It is really fucking good, and goes into great detail what it took for these guys to make it.Comment

I seem to remember it was a fun and interesting chat and quite a few people got questions answered.
Von is transcribing it and we will be putting it up soon.
Cheers!Comment

Really? How many jobs did the (Jew) bass player have before becoming a multi-millionaire?Comment

That was a good chat. The way you guys set it up was perfect for this site. We could be smartasses without the guest seeing it and getting pissed off. Greg had a pretty good sense of humor though. Can't believe Von posted my comment about Eddie's ex saying he had a small dick. She probably did though. That's why he said no comment.Beware of DogComment
