What anti-semiticism?

Roth: half-Jew
That mikey fella: Jew

Who discovered them: a Jew.


FACT.

Kristy: cunt
Fact.

How intelligent, caffagerslob.

I see you social worker failed in her attempt in placing you in a DBT support group.

[Von Halen]

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

How many jobs? He was a teenager playing gigs, trying to make it. Getting paid too. READ THE FUCKING BOOK! They all worked menial jobs while busting their balls to become famous.

[Von Halen]

Okay, I did some editing, and put the questions and answers mostly in order. I say mostly, because I may have missed a little. For the most part, the answers should be with the questions now. What a fucking pain in the ass!

[Kristy]

Okay, I'll buy his fucking book

~geesh

[ZahZoo]

Motherfuckers don't show up to the chat, then want the transcript immediately.

Go fuck yourself Zah!

Thanks, I appreciate the effort putting this together!!

Had planned on being here... but a family crisis and night at the hospital interrupted my plans. Hate it when real life fucks with my fun...

I'm surprised Greg (or anybody else, really) would think that Ed and Al would work with Mike again, especially Ed. Al i could see because he looks like the more reasonable of the two, but he always follows Ed's lead. But, there really doesn't seem to be an absolute with these guys, contrary to what they say in the moment. Al in 2004: "We will never, ever, ever get back together with Dave." 2007: Van Halen announces the return of David Lee Roth - tour imminent.

If they do ever bring Mike back i believe it will take Wolfgang convincing his dad to make it happen. The good news is that Wolfgang is one of the few (only?) people that realistically could make it happen.

This was one of my favorites. Ed on DLR in Rolling Stone, April 1995:

Listen, I don't hate the guy. I actually ran into him not that long ago when Valerie and I were walking in New York. I walked back a quarter block, and he finally turned around. He was kind of hesitant. I shook his hand. I asked him how he was doing, and he looked kind of shocked. It's like a divorce. It's over and done with. But anyone who thinks he's ever going to come back is ridiculous.

Ah I don't think it's ever gonna happen. Ed is too damn codependent and can't get up there without his kid. Although it would be awesome if they reunited, Ed really started getting pissed off half way through the tour and said some shit about Mike in another interview and then Mike beats the dog shit out of him right there on stage. Holy hell I'd pay a thousand bucks to see that.

So when is Ed coming over for a live chat?

You certainly know a lot about social workers. I bet you and yours are on a first name basis.

I wonder what the noobs here who don't post think when they read our stuff? They're probably convinced we all have social workers, live in basements, we're all F A T wannabe musicians, and we're all in the Klan

Oops, I forgot one: all the guys in the UK are drunk most of the time too. Well, that one's true but you know what I mean.

What is it? International family crisis weekend???

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.

I DARE you to post this at the Links..

Donnie, you have to be F A T and live in a basement if you have over 20,000 posts here. The more posts the F A T T E R you are and better chance of collecting disability and your Obonga health insurance.

[WARF]

I'm writing a book called, "Van Halen Falling: How a once mighty band got saved by a F A T kid with no stage presence"
