I honestly don't know why they dropped it from the set list. Certainly a better song than "Tattoo".Eat Us And Smile

What did I put on?
I had just finished putting together a radio special about 1978 when I got blind-sided by the news of Ed's passing. So I immediately went to work on putting together a two hour-special on Ed before my deadline. I didn't really even have time to comprehend what the f**k was going on because it was such a whirlwind of emotions. By the time I hit the 90 minute mark I didn't really feel like talking anymore. What a f**king bummer.
The first time I heard Van Halen was when my neighbor's oldest brother cranked 'Feel Your Love Tonight' repeatedly out his window when the album came out. I was only 5 years old, and to this day I can still see the blue sky framing their house whenever those first notes come on. Anyways, here's my tribute to Ed if you wanna listen to a couple hours of our favourite band:
Godspeed. Long live the king!Comment

I initially put on a few songs...
Take Your Whiskey Home
Drop Dead Legs
Beautiful Girls
Little Guitars
Then life got in the way... I've hopped on the Sirius tribute channel a few times while driving and watched his solo from Live Without a Net on-line. That's about it... got my fix and continued on living life."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

But the thing that pissed me off the most about it was people like that fucking fatass Eddie Trunk used it as the proof he'd been waiting decades for that VH was better with Sam. Man, that pissed me off. The guy who claimed the 1984 tour was boring and nothing but personal solos and Dave showing off (I've watched the Montreal '84 show a couple dozen times and I'm always overwhelmed by how great it is...and they play a TON of songs, with a few theatrical moments, 2-3 Dave speeches), the guy who loves to claim that Sam made VH a better band, the guy who claimed Dave never bothered singing and had a completely shot voice during the reunion tours (this is bullshit...Dave actually sang better during the 2007-8 tour than he did at US Festival or other pre-break-up gigs I've heard)...the fat-mouth who claimed that TATTOO was the worst VH song ever certainly wasn't shooting his mouth off to point out to the world how terrible UP FOR BREAKFAST or LEARNING TO SEE are. Or SOURCE OF INFECTION (possibly the laziest vocal in history).
Man, I got worked up there. I'm just sick of Eddie Trunk and his opinions. I love people having opinions. But he's developed a massive ego over the decades and has begun to act like because he does all this for a living, his opinions are actually fact. If I were a DJ with a big audience and a stupid minority opinion concerning Sammy Hagar's place in Van Halen, I think I would have tired of trying to convince the majority of my listeners that they're wrong about David Lee Roth. He at one point claimed TOKYO DOME is one of the worst live albums ever because they didn't fix it in the studio. One of the things I love about that album is how real it is...yes, Dave fucks up HEAR ABOUT IT LATER, and maybe they could have picked a better show. But I've listened to it a bunch of times and really like it. To actually bitch that they didn't turn a live album into a studio creation is a joke. The band has admitted that RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW is almost completely a studio creation, with almost all drums, guitar, bass & vocals re-done at 5150...it's obvious where I place Sam in the band's history but at least WITHOUT A NET is mostly truly live and sounds a lot better than RHRN.Roth Army Militia

I play Van Halen all the time. My vinyle issues, mostly. It isn't my wife's cup of tea at all, but she understands.
I play the Hollywood Bowl concert in my car. It's great, except for many of Dave's vocals, oh my...
His rant in the middle of DNA is stellar, though!posted by Ellyllions Men say, "I'll never understand women." That's a very lonely place to be if you're a woman because we don't understand half of what we do either.posted by ALinChainz Katy, Pipe down, pump off, and fly back to your cave you old bat.Comment

I'm fortunate in that I only came across Trunk in the last decade because we never got the shows he was on here. Before I even knew about his love for Hagar I first saw him on That Metal Show and was shocked that he was on TV at all, just some bland windbag with a fat face for radio. I know it was only VH1 but I remember thinking 'this is the best guy they can find in the US to talk about rock music?' He's just been some guy doing the spot that management of the stations didn't care about and has just ballooned upwards by default. As you say his ego is ridiculous at this point thinking that his audience or what's left of it is more interested in him than his guests.
And does he really think his random ramblings about how great Sam is how much Dave sucks are going to make his listeners suddenly go, "Okay, Eddie. You're right! POUNDCAKE is so much better than LIGHT UP THE SKY!"??? Maybe someone with his miniscule brain really can't understand the difference in the lyrical quality between LITTLE GUITARS and TOP OF THE WORLD...but that doesn't mean he has to keep trying to convince the majority to be as dumb as he is.Roth Army Militia
