On tour, with a sober Eddie, Dave without the weave, and fat kid that Eddie supposedly fathered on bass!

it's gonna crash and burn and in the end dave will be singing like he does at the end of somebody get me a doctor

"i"m gone"

don't know how many hardcore VH fans there are on this site but I guess if you go the official VH site they have the original 6 albums on the sides and if you look close at VH1 you'll notice they took out Mike anthony's pic and replaced it with wolfgangs and they changed the cover of women and children first so it doesn't show mike's pic anymore either.

will the lack of class from this band ever stop?

nobody really says for sure. Ed used to bitch about him waaaay back in 81, about how he never wrote any music-which alex never really did either. Things got alot better when Sammy joined and they were all pretty tight until thier manager ed lefler died in 94 then it fell apart. Mike stayed with them when Sam left but he did a few shows with Sam back on the Sam and Dave tour and even appears on Sam's 02 live CD. When Sammy and Ed and Al got back together in 04 Mike didn't play on the new tunes and Ed didn't want him on tour, Sammy said either he's in or I'm out and they brought him back in but as a salaried employee, mike also had to give up any rights to his part of VH in the future so he can never appear as "mike anthony Van Halen's bass player".

Ed's a dick, plain and simple. I've followed these guys as much as anyone for the last 25 years and they make me sick right now.

Ed's personality took a major shift after the bands manager Ed lefler died in 94. For whatever reason his personality did almost a complete 180.....he's been a drunk or a cock or a drunk cock ever since. I could go on and on if anyone wants and point out all the dickhead things and stupid decisions he's made regarding this band and everyone involved in it since then. Sammy got lucky getting the boot-or quiting depending on who you listen to and I'm pretty sure Ed's lying about that one

, he's put out 5 cd's since then-some great some so-so, 3 DVD's and jsut made 85 million selling his tequila company, now Mike's hooked up with him on his latest tour and it seems like he's gonna do great. He does his own set to start the show, then later him and Sam come out and do a bunch of VH songs together, it's pretty cool.

I'm pretty sure Ed's bi-polar BTW.

First crash -> Eddies wife loved Dave more than him.

2nd crash -> Eddies son learns to like Dave more than him.

When it was 40 gigs, I said 15 to 18 tops.
Now I understand it is 25, right?

I'd say that 13-15gigs until...

That Eddie interview with Howard Stern via phone was a fucking joke. The guy was talking about his cancer treatment and how he went to Germany and found a cure.

When Howard asked how he had a cure and why hoe wouldn't share that with modern science Eddie just kept mumbling about how priviliged he was to know this information.

What a dick he is now.

EVH is crazy. He claims he got oral cancer from magnetic waves being amplified into his mouth since he liked to keep a pick between his teeth.

Not allot different then what Gene and Paul did to Peter and Ace after they left and then came back for the reunion tours. Its a business and those with the power make the rules.

This tour will last maybe 10 shows before it blows up

Eddie and Diamond Dave can not last a whole tour together.

with the kind money this tour is going to generate, I think they'll find a way to co exist. Besides, Dave needs the money ever since his radio career went up in flames.

the problem I have with it is Ace and Peter were total drunks and they kinda left on thier own. Mike didn't really do anything that we know of, he stood by those guys threw everything, Dave leaveing, Sam coming in, Sam leaving, Ed being a drunken mess, Mike sold his share of Cabo Wabo and how much did that cost him? Sam just made 85 million off of selling a percentage of the tequila. Rumor has it Dave slept with Al's wife back in 81 or 82 and he didn't get the boot. Mike has been a good soldier and it's gotten him nothing. Rumor is that Ed wants to recut the old stuff with Wolf on Bass so all future pressings will have him instead of Mike that way Mike gets no royalties.....that's low. Ed's fucked this band up so bad since 94ish it's not even funny....it's great to listen to him drunk as hell doing phone interviews talking about how no one else in the band wants to work but him-this is from 05...lol, Sam's put out 5 cd's since he left, how many has Ed released? 1 Crappy CD and 2 songs with Roth-1 very good song, one so-so song and 3 songs with Sam that were pretty much a mess cause Sam couldn't stand to be in the studio with Ed....the bands a joke right now.

Natrual Al, do you like DLR's solo work? Personally i think his earlier stuff [with Vai] is far superior to VH.

Why did Roth never become a movie star or something? Post 91 he just kind of disappeared - a tragedy for someone so charismatic and fun. Its a real shame.

When DLR went solo I did not go crazy for it.
But as an entertainer with VH he was one of the best ever.
I used to love the the high karate kicks and gymnastic moves on stage.
He also had a mean set of shoulders on him.

That news conference was a joke. Everytime Dave opened his mouth, Ed had that look on his face like, "Oh fuck, I forgot about this loud mouth." To be honest, now that I'm older Dave doesnt' sound cool at all anymore, he's annoying and I'm sure he's a closet homo.

Whats up with Wolfgang too? He looked so uncombfortable on stage and he needs to see Jenny Craig now.

This tour is 23 years too late. Dave's voice sucks, Ed's mind is gone, Mike's not in the band anymore. I always wanted to see the guys play together, but not like this.

njflex · « **Reply #24 on:** August 21, 2007, 07:13:41 AM »

IT will generate plenty of money,and somehow the mixing board will be busy to blend the sound to sound somewhat like vintage VH.one can only hope that it dosen't turn into an embaressment,can it?
