    The Mormons want to build a temple in one of the nicer parts of Dubai. The government is ok with them having a temple there but won’t approve their design. It’s not grand enough. It needs to be better. Ha! Ha! So yeah they are picky about the architecture. They want everything world class.

      Well old Sammy Belcher told Rolling Stone he now owns the Van Halen franchise because he’s the only guy left that can perform the songs. What a tool. He couldn’t stand Al was getting a lot of attention and was doing every trick to bring attention to himself. If you think Dave is an attention whore he pales to Hagar. Dave never bought himself a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Yes. You pay enough money, you get a star. What an ego. He actually thinks he’s Van Halen now.

        Meh.

        The music lives forever, but Van Halen is dead. Let Hagar, buzzard that he is, pick at the carcass. I mean, it's beyond pathetic or absurd that Hagar doubtless thinks he's 'won' in terms of the Owning Van Halen Sweepstakes because he's the last member of the band still touring. Van Halen's legend was secured from 1978-1984. Hagar knows it.

          Ironically, they both did awful covers of "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay". Hagar even got the guys from Boston to sing background vocals and Steve Cropper & Duck Dunn to play on it. Bolton settled for his fellow pussies from Journey.

            Is it okay if I didn't listen to the link you provided? Others obviously can if they like; I just don't have the heart.

            But, yeah, I could have easily seen Hagar - had he not joined Van Halen - end up transitioning to a sort of VH1 adult contemporary light pop rock thing as the Eighties came to a close.

            Guys like Hagar and Bolton, neither were wedded to the rock genre in terms of their careers. Bolton did his stint trying to make it as a hair metal frontman earlier in the Eighties, then turned to his Motown remakes when that hair metal stint sizzled out. Lots of Hagar's solo stuff prior to Van Halen was Top 40 pop rock. Indeed, that pop rock influence was what he brought to Van Halen. It wasn't an element I as a fan wanted brought into Van Halen. Eddie, however, did.

              Agreed.

              Also in the end it was truly Dave who won. He fronted Van Halen's final show in 2015.

              Whereas Hagar's final show was during a tour everyone would soon forget.

                Clearly, Hagar wanted back in throughout the Mach 4 years of 2006-2015. Fuckin' guy let it be known in every interview he gave during those years that he'd get back with the Van Halens. Apparently, he HAD to let it be known via interviews during those years because the Van Halens weren't communicating with him.

                It's like, dude, it sucks but your last tour with Van Halen in 2004 sucked. Even worse than the Van Halen III stint, truth be told: at least Eddie could still play well when Cherone was in the band.

                The band ended with Roth at the helm. It's over. A done deal. It's the way that ended up shaking out.

                        What was it Denis Leary said, something about how whenever rock stars die prematurely it's usually the talented ones. Whereas Motley Crue or Bon Jovi circa the late 1980's would never OD or perish in a helicopter crash.

                          Exactly.
                          By the way, whenever a rock star has just died and we're rehearsing with my band, we play a song by the artist (we didn't do so when EVH died, though, coz... we just couldn't :D). And I'll always say the same thing. Like, for example: "Chuck Berry is dead, dammit... and Paul Anka is still alive." Or Elton John, for that matter...
