Well, if that's the case, then that is pretty lame. Not surprising, but still lame. Don't know if it's been discussed around here before, but are there copyright issues around some of that stuff? Take the US Festival show for example. Could they put that out even if they wanted to?Comment

Interesting that Mike says he's not interested in writing a book just yet because he would make too many enemies. I can't imagine him divulging so much damning information about other people in a book about his life the way his buddy did. Even in this interview, he said "not to mention any names" at least a few times. While the possibility of returning to VH remains remote, he is wise to not burn the bridge.
You can too write a book with out pissing people off if you write about the good times. Who the fuck said every book has to be full of piss and vinegar just to sell it.
Sam's book, well he's just someone who has to make everyone look bad so he looks better. Maybe it worked, but I never read it because I have no respect for someone who behaves that way.
Same with Valerie. Why release a fucking bio of her fucked up life in the middle of her child's first chance at getting some respect as a musician? Why release it when the man she once loved is trying to recover from a lifetime of addiction, just for sport? Did she enjoy the tour getting put on hold so Ed and Wolf could recover from their wife and mother's vicious vile tribute about their life together? Did she enjoy that power?
This behavior is why I have had nothing to do with VH after Dave left. Sammy was very vocal, me or Dave. I wanted both, but was only invited to one. I chose the one who took the higher road, loved the band he left, and never said a rotten thing about his friends or gave Sam and the media the war they wanted. I became ROTH FAN
So Michael Anthony, if you want to write a book, do so. Do so with class. Not with spit and venom. You are part of the original Mighty Van Halen!!! You threw backyard parties for thousands of fans in sold out arenas for years! Remember the good times. Write about that. We don't give a shit who fucked who over. We want you back for a farewell tour. We want to hear your voice again. Remember us? The fans that were there for you in the backyards of Pasadena up until the 1984 tour. We are the original 6 pack.
I really hope you read the new book that is coming out.Last edited by CreatureFrmTheC; 09-18-2014, 03:34 AM.Comment

You mean Van Halen Rising? Yeah, that's going to be amazing. Many here are shrugging it off as just another collection of the same old stories plodded out. I've been in touch with the author and let me tell you, this guy has done some severe homework. He even interviewed Mike. VAiN designed the book jacket, which looks awesome. Says it's going to come out by mid 2015, hopefully. I think he's having too much fun writing and he keeps finding more info as he goes that simply can't be excluded. I'm looking forward to it all right.Comment

Without the dirt, it isn't real.
Sam is a scumbag for what he did to his wife, but as for airing out the dirt on Ed and anyone else - it comes with the territory and if Ed thought that Howdy Doody Mountain was an armed palisade, then he got it wrong. If anyone deserves to have their bad behavior out in the open it is Ed.
I'd still like to read Sam's book to know some of that stuff but he is an off-putting character so I can't bring myself to do it...and remember, Ed wanted Sam in the band. Ed.Comment

I don't see any point in reading Hagar's book when I know half the stuff you can check is just made up bullshit.
So when you get to a bit that you don't already know like something behind closed doors how do you work out if it's true? Do you assume 50% bullshit? 75%? Anything that makes him look bad is true and vice versa?
What's the point? What insight would you get from, lets face it, a pretty dumb guy ? Plus Van Hagar was a shitty boring MOR band with one or two rock songs per album with annoying singing. You would be better reading the singer of Loverboy's autobiography if there is such a thing.
Reading Sammy's book would be like reading the autobiography of a pretty unpleasant compulsive liar with no self awareness who won the lottery.Last edited by Seshmeister; 09-18-2014, 10:52 AM.Comment

I would just like to clarify, you are talking about Sammy Clichegar's book, and not the one Greg is presently writing. I'd hate for someone to think you're talking about the upcoming "Van Halen Rising" book.
You are talking about the Clichegar book. Someone else is talking about Mike potentially writing a book. DLR Bridge and I are talking about Greg's book he's writing now.
By the way. WTF does "DLR Bridge" mean, anyway?
