Sam Just Won't Stop

[Vinnie Velvet]

So are the Van Hagar remasters a record company driven thing?

Or did Al greenlight it?

I find it hard pressed to think Al would want Sam to make any more money off VH.

[twonabomber]

I'm guessing the record company. Maybe they were ready to go before EVH died, who knows. At least WB/Rhino waited a while to release them.

Al gets paid too, not that it makes Sam getting paid any easier to stomach.

Yeah true.

Sam on Opie Radio. I won't say Sammy is completely unreasonable here, no one is going to argue Dave ISN'T a "weird guy". But still the embellishment of other stuff. There's no way VH was "my (Sammy's) band)" at any point. Alex ran that band from the 1984 Tour on end-of-story...

[Nitro Express]

I think The Red Worm is right about Ray Daniel’s. Ray wanted to run Sam off and who could blame him?

[Nitro Express]

The only problem is Ray replaced the Cabo Homo with Lube Boy. Talk about going out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Whereas Dave's actual friends have no problem with him. People like John 5, Greg Bissonette, Billy Sheehan.

Those who don't know Dave the person may think he's weird. Much like Sam. Cause he really doesn't know Dave.

[Terry]

Yeah, but you run Sam off to replace him with Roth, not with Cherone or Mitch Malloy. And for fuck's sake you don't stand by and say it is a good idea for Eddie to sing lead vocals on a track.

[Seshmeister]

I know Mitch Malloy has to make a living somehow but it's kind of ludicrous the way he has spun a failed audition in a rehearsal room to him being an ex Van Halen singer.

[FORD]

Sort of like that fundaMENTAList preacher Jeff Fenholt billed himself as a "former Black Sabbath singer" when the reality is he cut one demo with Tony Iommi in 1985 - for what was then being called a solo album, and only rebranded as "Black Sabbath" by the greedy fucks at Warner Brothers when they didn't think an Iommi solo album would sell.

[Nitro Express]

Well that’s why Fuck Off Ray Daniel’s is a popular acronym around here.

Oh come on... Dave's weird... no doubt about it!

Jump is the only #1 single. These are ranked by weeks on the chart.

Whoa, where's Pretty Woman? They actually had more top 20 hits with Roth.

[twonabomber]

Pretty Woman peaked at #12 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. Not sure why it's not up there.
