The actual interview is in some golf rag I think. Apparently Ed thought they'd only ask golf question...

And what did Ed do with the coyote?Comment

As you get older do you not just lose interest in reading interviews from musicians and sportsmen a bit - especially one talking about the other?
Who knew? In other news bears shit in the woods.He said he isn’t competitive when playing golf.
“Naw. I’ll hit a good ball and then two bad ones. I don’t even keep score, man. What’s the point? I know it’s going to be in the hundreds. The worst thing is my putting. The thing is: I never practice.”
He also said, “If you really want to be good you have to spend the time, like I did learning to play guitar. That’s how many hours you got to put in if you really want to be a pro or really, really good. You got to go out there and hit buckets and buckets and buckets of balls.”
I'm not blaming Ed for answering pointless questions with pointless answers just saying it's maybe a waste of everyone's time.Comment

I'd say, in general, yeah.
Even when I was younger, I never cared much what any athletes had to SAY about anything, or anything they were doing if they weren't playing.
I used to be quite into reading/watching interviews from musicians when I was younger. Now? Not nearly as much. Mostly because there are VERY few musicians who have much that is worth hearing about in an interview context.
Like, say, Frank Zappa was a good interview subject. John Lennon was a good interview subject. Robert Plant was/is a good interview subject. David Lee Roth has always been an entertaining/good interview subject. Pete Townshend was a good interview subject. Bob Dylan was a good interview subject. I may be forgetting a few others, but that's really about it far as musicians being good interview subjects. And that's fine: musicians should be good at music, with anything else like the ability to give a good interview being a bonus.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Yeah, I'd say post-Van Halen III / late 1999 through until the spring of 2007 was certainly the dark times for Eddie.
Whatever one thought about the decision not to do more with Dave in 1996 and forge ahead with Cherone, at least with the Van Halen III period Eddie WAS forging ahead in some manner. After that, Eddie seemed like he was in free fall. Wouldn't wish cancer on anybody, but by all accounts Eddie was still getting fucked up after the bout with cancer: by 2006, he looked terrible, and the 2004 Hagar tour along with the 2006 Namm show display demonstrated that he wasn't particularly playing well anymore, either. By the end of 2006, I wouldn't have been surprised if Ed had died, because he just totally let himself go and didn't appear to give a fuck anymore.
Point of fact, it took Eddie until the 2012 tour to really start firing on all cylinders again, guitar-wise, and apply himself enough to where he could recreate the CVH catalog live to where it was worth paying money to see.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

On a new episode of his SiriusXM show, Eddie Trunk discussed the rumored reunion of the original Van Halen lineup. While Sammy Hagar has expressed an interest in the last few years as joining forces with the original lineup with both he and David Lee Roth sharing vocals, Eddie Trunk said Van Halen are not interested in Hagar joining a potential reunion. Alternative Nation transcribed his comments.
“The other thing, without getting into details or revealing sources, is that the issues and the disinterest in working with or doing anything with Sammy Hagar ever again from Van Halen is as high as it has ever been. Meaning forget about it, if anything happens with Van Halen, anybody that thinks, and I think people mostly knew this, but anybody who thinks that there is any play whatsoever in potential activity with Hagar, uh nuh.Comment

Trunk is a fucking idiot.
This is not fucking Agatha Christie. It's not a big fucking mystery.“The other thing, without getting into details or revealing sources, is that the issues and the disinterest in working with or doing anything with Sammy Hagar ever again from Van Halen is as high as it has ever been.

There are issues, we’ll leave it at that. I don’t get in the middle of this stuff, I don’t know what’s real and what’s not, I just know from the Van Halen side, there is as strong as ever a disinterest in dealing with or working with Sammy for reasons, rumors that I hear, but I don’t know. I love Sammy, as everybody knows he’s a friend, I think he’s a tremendous guy, but there’s stuff that goes on that we don’t know about, apparently.
Read his book which he didn't need to write since he had plenty of cash.
Not only was it a betrayal and a hatchet job on the Van Halen's, there were a ton of lies in there too.
Why the fuck would the Van Halen's ever go back to Hagar after that when they don't need to. Would you?Last edited by Seshmeister; 01-21-2019, 12:22 AM.Comment

Sammy will forever be a footnote in VH history. He has to be.
Van Hagar was a thing that unfortunately happened and unfortunately went for as long as it did. They have no interest going back with him and never will.
The few Van Hagar lovers out there like Trunk won't stop.
Van HALEN was and will always be Dave's band as much as the Van Halen's. Eddie knows this.=V V=

Trunk was in LA for the Chris Cornell tribute last week and said Irving Azoff was backstage and Trunk says he wanted to introduce himself to Azoff and ask about VH. Like Azoff would say anything.
More importantly, Trunk says that there is "disinterest" in the VH camp about Hagar ever being involved in VH ever again. Of course Trunk won't go into what he's heard and that he loves Hagar and they're friends but there is nothing on the Hagar front.Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.Comment
