What the fuck is up with Eddie getting rid of sammys road crew.

[Matt White]

Spammy telling his people they've been let go from the Sham Halen 2004 tour.

Still, I wonder who all had a say in the crew hired, and which "camp" those let go resided in.

All 2nd hand but I've heard Matt Bruck has been managing the overall deal on this tour. Kevin Dugan has been backline manager as well as still Mike's bass tech. Ed has the same guitar tech from the III tour, don't remember his name... Dugan had taken over as stage mgr for Spammy around the SuperBowl appearances in Houston. Given that VH had let go of pretty much their whole organization back in late 99/early 2000 I would imagine most of the crew today are new.

Boy howdy, whoever they are the term "turd-polishers" comes to mind.

I think Ed finally had enough of seeing Sam's roadies running around in paisley Capri pants, myself......:D

I don't know if this specifically is true or not, but they did make massive cuts during the tour to trim costs. Including scaling the staging way back, which in turn cuts everything else down the line. Though perhaps not targeted, I would not be surprised if this knocked out a bunch of "sammy's guys" in the process.

This is the smartest thing ive heard on this forum with exception to
I dont see why Eddie would get rid of Sammy's road crew. He should have done the right thing from the start and get rid of that fat fuck Spammy.

DLR FUCKIN RULES!!!!!

Ditto that...although wishing Hagar and Edward every animosity towards each other was pretty smart, too, you gotta admit

yeah then they wouldn't need as much roadcrew to haul him around.
