The Pen™ operates on a similar timetable as Ed... whenever give a fuck happens by... Pants off™
Nice to see you posting Rikk©! Been a while, pal.
I've been traveling and given this latest chapter some thought and have browsed some of the fan comments...
My assessment: Eddie and Alex have no business commitment with any entity left in what constitutes the "music industry" to produce music in any form or do a damn thing. The only thing that would get them out of their houses would be motivation to perform while they still can, money, or just their love of music... key word is "motivation" which they clearly lack... either through musical passion, contractual obligation or financial need...
Not interested and lazy is the easy road and comfy, familiar territory for those boys... Why hassle it..?
I don't buy into any delusions of the Van Halens desiring to work with any other past members or form any new musical partnerships with anyone, ever... That's really the one smart move they have going for them! There's no superior musical chemistry on earth nor the history of mankind than Diamond Dave teamed up with Ed's guitar, Alex's thunder and the Bass Player™, bless his heart... If ya can't make it great... why fucking do it..?
Dave seems to have tapped a musical motivation... warts, bad back, yelps, lack of melody, creepy old trollness and a markedly sub-standard, yet affordable, backing band aside... Good for him! The old fucker still has it in him and ain't ready to give in to the inevitable running out of time... no one gets out alive, but don't quit livin...
