    Good point. However, even with Hagar he can get enough drinking money to last him another couple years.

        He will probably be dead by then anyway.

          That also was a form of greed. It was more important for Ed to keep Roth out of the spotlight and the spotlight on him at the expense of the fans.

          It's the same reason there are no DVDs or unrealeased DLR songs, we all know there is a vault full of that stuff and it's not because it's not worth releasing as Alex says - it's all about greed for power and making the band about the bros, for they have always said the singer is not important.

          It's the same reason he didn't play the old stuff at Namm for fear of "pirates" or why he teases the crowds with licks of vintage Roth tunes at the shows, he never wants that genie out of the bottle again, because he is a little, insecure, selfish, egotistical, greedy fuck that wants VH to be about him.

            Agreed, that deserves a vote from, Le Catman....

              I could care less because Dave is Dave and the energy he produces that is extended wildly to his fans is worth more than flipping myself around over bad feelings that hit my heart like a wild fire years ago!

              We get one life with several different syles of music to dance through it, I am my own tool! Eddie, Alex, Dave, Mike, and yes Sammy just helped me learn how to hold it in my heart and use it!

              As far as "Greedy", yeah...You would take the ticket and run with the money if you knew that person in front of you had just dropped the winning numbers!
              When my husband left me after an 18 year marriage, she said "See you should have married Van Halen" Does she know she was promoting a 4-guy to one girl marriage?

                There's not much REAL about Van Halen these days. I remember a time when these guys had a closer relationship with their fans than any other band. Now they blatantly rip off their fans with this appalling BOBW release and money grab tour. Of all the great metal/hard rock bands that I'm into, I honestly thought VH would be the last band to treat their fans like this.

                  They haven't been real since Dave left.

                  Does any Van Hagar fan want to try and start a cogent argument that Van Hagar was truly a foursome, truly tight as a band, and not a trio plus a singer?

                  YEAH RIGHT.

                              Then that means the last ten years of fiasco's and this years blatant money grab and rip-off of the fans must be laid squarely on his shoulders.

                              What happened to this guy? He claimed he had no ego. He claimed money meant nothing to him, it was his love for music and if it ever came down to it, he would play his guitar alone in his bedroom. He said Roth was a "star" and he claimed he was a "musician". He said that was the difference between them.

                              Once again, Eddie has proven himself a liar.

                              First, Sammy says there is no sense in making another record, because there is no money to be made. WTF? What about the music? What about the "10 cds ready to go"?

                              That's ok, if they want to end their careers and be greedy fucks, that's ok. So, it wasn't about the music after all, ok.

                              ...but to cancel two shows so they can make big money in Puerto Rico at the cost of the fans who put them where they are is disgusting, sickening and criminal. Van Halen have *ripped off* and have stolen from the very fans who put them there.

                              So, have fun "sheep", you know who you are - You cheer about a double CD package with only 3 new songs. You cheer a drunk who comes on stage and plays with his back to the fans that have brought their sons to see him and have paid top dollar. You cheer lyrics and songs that were made in 15 minutes. You cheer the canceling of shows at the cost of fan's wallets.

                              You people are sick and you deserve the shit band called Van Hagar, you deserve to pay for two CDs for 3 new songs, you deserve to listen to Where Eagles Fly at a VH concert.

                              You deserve all this because it is sick people like you that support them and the reason Van Hagar even exists...

                              Holy Shit! That was whiplash crack, smash and burn!!! You deserve a medal son, well done. Your efforts won't go unnoticed. Take a bow, and make sure there ain't no Hagaritas behind you, they don't seem to be appreciatin' women properly.....

                                EVH and his brother are victims of sloth.

                                Both of them figure they got nothing left to prove, so why even bother trying?

                                Can't say as I feel bad for those fans who got shafted out of the convenience fee when Van Hagar cancelled those shows, though.

                                Sheep are only good for shearing and fleecing anyway.
