Al just wishes he could get off.
That's what Sammy is for............guess the Ched rocker can't get the ol' cunt UP like he used to.
Alex really believes he is a major contributor to
Van Halen's musical output. Can somebody please
tell him that drums dont produce lyrics and melodies ??
*THE* soul of the song. Not the human metronomic
beats in the background..
BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow ! Love ya Mary Frances!

Funny, but whoever was conducting this interview obviously lacked the testicular fortitude to ask AVH where Mike is and why he isn't allowed to speak to the media regarding the band.
Love that avatar Roth & Roll. Is that Rowdy Roddy Piper beating the shit out of Superfly Snuka? Ah the good ol' days.:D
They should sit the all the bandmembers around a table excluding Gary Sherbone, and let a moderator ask questions to the members. Questions the fans & members have submitted to the moderator. I bet Dave would make all them dumbfucks looks like the fucking lying idiot douche-bags they all are. Of course it would be hard to answer any fucking thing with AVH running his yap !!!
I couldnt even get myself finish this crap interview.
One thing I noticed though:
Also Sammy nor Alex is allowed to do any separate interviews and time is limited (as well as space here). Sammy is an old friend of mine so his answers were a bit more from the heart and compassionate. Alex has always been the big brother, the guy who actually runs VAN HALEN
So Alex is the guy who actually runs Van Halen and he is not allowed to do any separate interviews???
Sounds to me like somebody else (Eddie) is running the band.
Sounds to me like whoever else (Eddie) is running the band is a bit paranoid.
Yeah, well, obviously an interviewer who asserts that Van Hagar was more "successful" than the classic lineup (whereas that's not the case, regardless of one's definition for success) and that Van Hagar are nearly selling out every venure theyre playing this year obviously isn't in full command of the facts. We're not talking musical opinion here, just cold, hard statistical data.
Hagar and AVH come off as quoteless as ever. Reading a Roth interview, what the man says has a way of flowing. Even at his most circumlocutious, Roth backs up whatever point he makes with substance. Just trying to read this interview is a thankless excercise.
Hagar comes off as ignorant, and Alex comes off as conceited (though the reasons behind this bloated ego are a mystery to me). Both come across as divorced from reality. Only the Van Hagar acolytes left in the music press who have shown past propensity to kiss the bands' ass get access to the group. Goes part and parcel with the insular mentality of Howdy Doody Mountain.
First step to fixing a problem is acknowledging you have one. Mike does what he's told (if the case for his independent spirit was showing up at the 2002 Sam and Dave tour and playing a few songs with Sammy, that to me reinforces the notion that he's pussywhipped by 5150 more than anything else), Ed's off in foggy-doo land, Sammy just doesn't care and Alex thinks it's all going great.
Think Stuart Smalley (a Van Hagar fan if ever there was one) said it best when he said "Denial ain't just a river in Egypt".

I wish somebody could catch these assholes off guard and get them answering REAL questions without having the "Safe" questions and five minutes of ass kissing in between them.
Makes me sick.
Exactly bro! Get those two lying polesmokers in the hot seat and make 'em squirm with the tough questions! Alice, what an ass!

You know, you raise a valid point.
CBS News is currently under fire regarding credibility in the "Dan Rather/Bush Service Record" debacle.
Why not set the 60 Minutes crew after Van Halen?
I'd love to see and hear Mile Wallace ask Alex Van Halen "Alex, why must you always come of like a pompous, arrogant and altogether spoiled gas-head?"
"Ed, if you believe you got cancer from sucking on metal picks, how come many folk from around the world don't have it from eating with metal silverware?"
Or "Sam, could you put down the Big Mac for a second and tell us your real motives for returning to this sinking, stinking ship?"
