Spammy, In or Out ?

[5151 Parrothead]

I'm surprised nobody else has seen a pattern developing here. For BOV1, they bring Dave back "just for a couple songs", but the rumor starts running wild that Dave's back. They went so far as to have the whole MTV Awards deal, before they announced that Gary was the new guy. Now Gary's out, and we're looking at doing BOV2, and we're hearing the same thing, the "We're just having Sammy do a couple new songs for the best of album." and again, speculation runs rampant about Sammy being back in. Personally, I would not be at all surprised to see the same thing happen to Sam that happened to Dave on BOV1.

Just my own, unasked for $.02

What would you do at this point in time?
Sammy is in for now but nobody said it would be permanent.

Well, if I believed you were really Eddie Van Halen I would suggest you PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR FUCKING ASS AND PUT THE REAL VAN HALEN BACK TOGETHER

There's a reason why Van Hagar sold less with each consecutive release. There's a reason why the first 6 albums continue to sell. There's a reason why that greatest hits album with 2 new Van HALEN songs managed to sell 2.5 million copies despite the clusterfuck soap opera which surrounded its recording.

And that reason is simply the fact that Van HALEN is Dave, Eddie, Mikey, and Alex. It never was, nor never will be, any other lineup.

Dave does not want to be part of Van Halen.

Dave will always BE part of Van Halen.

[GAR]

At this point, one wonders if Edward wants to be a part of Van Halen?

- no lead singer
- no guitarist

NO RECORD DEAL!

Yes, there will always be a history with Dave but its time to move forward and at this point, moving in a different direction
with an old friend is the way to go.

[FORD]

OK, "Eddie", I'll play along for a while...

What "new direction" would that be?

Another album of "How Do I Know When It's Cheese" ??

Maybe a boyband album, like that last awful mess from Def Leppard?

Van Hagar goes country?? (Hey if Kid Rock can get away with it)

And how does a supposedly recovering alcoholic reconcile working with a guy whose entire stage act is a fucking 2 hour tequila commercial??

[Catfish]

Sammy is IN.
In Eddie's ASS!

Sammy being the logical choice at this time while David cannot endure the vocal range live or as he once had in the studio.
I understand Dave is performing live around the club and small casino circuit which is great, more power to him.
Although Sammy's worth ethic was unpleasant near the end of his Van Halen tenure, he thrives to make the best possible Van Halen record to date.

Good point, FORD.

Hey, Van Schlitz, obviously you haven't seen Dave live recently and you don't know your cock from your elbow.

i had my hopes up that this was bull, but, with this new Vegas "revelation"

i'm getting pretty bummed

Oh fuck you. Fuck the lot of you. Fuck you all.
