Right. It becomes this soft circle jerk that only strokes the ego of some nobody who is having a "fan boy" fandango.

Mezro...when I interview people I don't want to be friends; I want to stir shit and go deep...respect comes from honesty...

BTW. Nice new Heather Avatar buddy.

Let us not forget though that MA shares his asshole with the fellas as well.

Regarding the av: Thank you kind sir.

[WOAHYEAH]

Its fucking Alex Van Gaylen thats preventing a classic reunion. I'll bet 10 bucks on it. I'll even bet that even though Hagar dislikes Roth, he'd still do a co-headlining tour with him [though Roth wouldnt do it, thankfully]. Anthony would be happy to get his paycheck and fish heads, and Ed would probably do it if Wolfie said he'd love him more for it

[Interesting tidbit : I read in a post at the links that Wolfie told a fan he prefers the Roth era more, I wish i could find it]

Great interview.

The singer is lying and the the drummer paranoid,the interviewer sets it up for the tko punch with the not gelling line and then completely bottles it.

[Nitro Express]

You have to remember the interviewer is worried about keeping their job. Pushing the hard questions would only get Alex and Sammy pissed and they would walk out on the interview. It would be great to see but then the interviewer would get chewed by their management.

Plus, I'm sure Alex and Sammy are very choosey who they do interviews with. I don't think you are going to so the both of them on Howard Stern because Howard would lay into Alex pretty good but I've even seen him be too nice.

It's a Clear Channel sponsored tour anyways. It's all under one big corporate umbrella. The interviewer probably works for Clear Channel.

The first true statement to come from AVH's mouth in decades...

Who do you think was the "lucky Pierre" in that 3 way butt fuck? What a fuckin prick Al is. Sammy will always be a douchebag but Al is a fuckin two faced lying motherfucker. "Roth tunes?" That's right you cocksucker, theyare Roth tunes and all four of you assholes have to get out there and play them night after night because no one would show up otherwise.

But anyway John, what happened was that we would have done a whole record if we would have had time but the idea was is that we got excited about going out and playing this summer, like, let's go play right now. I mean as soon as we started getting together the first thing we wanted to do was play in front of people because that's what we do number one. And then it was like, okay we only had three songs done and it was either; you know this Best Of package with three new songs or we would have had to skip playing this year and I said we should do the Best Of and let's go play. It was really based around us playing live for the people.

BTW, Sammy and Alex are fucking assholes IMO.

Don't listen to him John, they have plenty of time..nothing but time. There's no deadlines on the new super tequila, art guitars, ar flaming ass sauces.

The first thing they wanted to do was play in front of people because it makes them money.

The second thing they did was throw three afterthoughts together for some faux legitimacy.

Imelda Marcos said they should do the Best Of and go play, fatboy's a trained seal and has no bearing on business decisions.

It was really based around them phoning it in for "the people" and collecting some CC duckets.

BTW John, you're a dipshit interviewer.

[TurboTwo]

I've thought for a long time that it was Al and not so much Ed that was standing in the way of the original band reuniting. This interview makes me think so even more. Sounds like Alex was standing over Hagar with a ruler, waiting to crack him in the knuckles if he fucked up and said the wrong thing.

I honestly do not know why I edited all that in appreciation of an "Imelda Marcos" line.

whadeva...craig:D

[ROTHandRoll]

I agree. Alex had his zipper down and ready to fuck Spam if he said the wrong thing. He sounded kina worried that he showed up late and didn't have control over Spam's answers. W/ Alex as the ringmaster VH's going nowhere fast. Poor Dave had to put up w/ this nonsense and BS. He was the stronger half of VH and now that he's gone, the whole thing crumbled. Sad, sad, sad.

[horty07]

Fuck I hate SHEMP. I wish Dave would kick his fag ass.

[lms2]

So does Shemp.

[Bill Lumbergh]

I just wish Ed would get off the bottle for a couple of minutes........maybe he would see things a bit clearer, and at least halt the Roth bashing.

[lms2]

I don't think if Ed got off the bottle he would halt the Dave bashing... I think he would still stay out of it. I wish Al would get off the attitude and halt the bashing...

Al just wishes he could get off.
