More Van Hagar trouble reported on WDVE PITTSBURGH Tuesday morning.

[SRK]

I was driving to work Tuesday morning listening to DVE and Val Porter the news girl comes on tells about how theres trouble in Van hagar... saying Edward fired Sams road crew and Sam and Ed HATE one another again and Sam has threatened to walk out on the tour several times already... She went on to tell how Sam has already planned a solo winter tour opening for Nugent . Porter then went on to say she seen them in Vegas and it was very obvious that the band was split into two different parts Sam and Anthony and Ed and his sister ALEX, then the djs Randy and Jim joined in and said you know ....somethings wrong when Van Halen can`t sell out in Pittsburgh and went on to say of course Pittsburgh has and always was a DAVE TOWN...And Van halen as it is now ....is irrelevant.


THERE IS NO VAN HALEN WITHOUT DAVID LEE ROTH.

"It's About Time" they saw the writing on the wall. You either do it for the music and the fans or you do it for money. If you do it for money then this is the half-assed result - serves them right. I bet they sit back, blame eachother and wonder how they ever could have fucked this whole thing up..

Starwood loves a good old-fashioned train wreck.

They will blame David Lee Roth.

I was at the San Jose Van Hagar show and Eddie was just standing there looking down and playing. Or may I say trying to play. Ed was clearly in his own world that night and when Sammy would come over to him trying to get Ed into the show more, Eddie would just glare at Sammy.

Notice when Gary Cherone was the lead singer, Eddie was doing interviews like crazy. He was out there. On this new Van Hagar tour Eddie isn't doing interviews and is walking right off the stage into his limo and getting the hell out of Dodge.

This whole tour strikes me as a quick money grab.

It's inevitable that this lineup of the band will come an end on bad terms. Personally, when it happens, I can't wait to see all the suckups at the links go absolutely nuts over the news. "Where did this come from?" "But Sammy said they were getting along!" Yeah, Sammy says a lot of things. Like about how Van Hagar sold more albums than Van Roth, which anyone with more than two brain cells knows isn't true. And, if the band decides to get back in form and get Dave back, then watching the people over at the links would be even MORE hilarious, seeing all the sheep whine about how the Ched Rocker isn't on the tour and they're not going. Great, maybe someone with real taste in music and a real set of balls will buy their tickets, which shouldn't be a problem since a Dave-fronted VH would sell out arenas within hours.

If VH do a Dave tour, there should be a sheep screening policy at all venues for all the disbelieving Spam fans who suddenly embrace Roth.

Call me optimistic, but do you think this discourse could be because ED was on stage one night and said "man this guy is a wanker". People do see the light. AA is founded on that (something Ed ought to check out again). Perhaps fences can be mended. Everyone needs to be the 50 year old they are and realize this is it, end of the line. This is the last lap of the race.

Let's hope they do and go out in style.

[sambo]

Well put.. it is indeed "the last lap of the race". Like anything I guess, you are only as good as your last game. Is this the way they want to be remembered?

[Halen High]

We can only hope this is true.

There was a Van Hagar review a few weeks ago, can't remember which one, in which the writer said Sammy tried to give Eddie a hug and Eddie just glared at him before pushing him away!

I'm convinced Eddie was pushed into doing this reunion by Alex, who has demonstrated many times over the last few years that he has no business running this band.

Looking out from the stage at the thousands of empty seats must be a very sobering experience for the brothers.

[bueno bob]

Yeah, this is over. It's over already...shit, they can't even keep the bad press and bad feelings out of the media. It's THAT obvious.

Even when it was going bad with Roth in '85, nobody really knew about it until the very last moment...the last concert in September, well, shit, everybody looked like they were having a great time by all indications (I wouldn't know, I was all of about 11 years old, heh).

They may as well do themselves the favor and end it now. Alex has ran this fucking band into the ground...maybe the above mentioned idea was right and Ed was coerced into doing this by Alex. Ed fired Hagar due to his shit-ass lyrics and the fact that Hagar's a solo artist singing for Van Halen and a Van Halen vocalist who's more worried about his own solo career, right?

Well, shit, man, I could have told Ed nothing would have changed over eight years! Sam's still a solo artist who won't do any Roth material that he doesn't have to and this whole fucking game is crumbling like the house of cards it is.

Last lap, indeed. They better pump on the speed one way or another for the home stretch, because this is just about it.

Lol!

The sheep will turn up in their thousands. They don't like to admit it, but most of them know what the real deal is, and they can't wait to see it like the rest of us.

[Nitro Express]

Alex is a lying sack of shit. The real reason he used to wear a neckbrace is the fucker rolled his car and injured his spine. While on the VH3 tour Alex would say he injured his neck water skiing.

I cannot picture Shemp on water skis.

I told Brett "The Shepherd" Norton the same thing over at the links, LONG before I came over here and that pussy was spouting off about how he was going to be "Done with Van Halen because, even if they brought Roth back, it'd just be too much screwing around with the fans and I won't put up with it!" yadda yadda yadda...insert some more self-righteous bullshit and you'll get the sum of it.

He said I was full of shit. I said he was full of shit, and that if he was a, oh, how does he put it?...oh yes, a "REAL VAN HALEN FAN", he'd "SUPPORT THE BAND NO MATTER WHO WAS SINGING"(c)(Brett "The Shepherd" Norton Trademarks, Ltd.)

I was promptly banned, LMAO!

But you know FUCKIN' A WELL that he'll be right out there with the rest of us buying his ticket and putting it in his greasy little hand, lol :D

Deep down, the Sheep know whats up.

[sambo]

and I bet the sheep don't have the balls to design / wear a t-shirt saying "Hagar is Van Halen" cos they know the truth.... (and the consequences). They can't really believe that for a second - seriously.
