| I had just recintly been to see Van halen on the 10th at Copps in Hamilton.<br>They played an Amazing show there.<br>Sammy was right into it and climing up to the top of the big monitor like he used to do and was pulling all sorts of things out of the audience.<br>I got the feeling from Hagar that he was quite happy and really injoyed it in Canada.He also really enjoyed wearing the olimpic Canadian jersey that was handed to him.I had recintley read that artical where sammy said that he dident think that he would continue to tour with Van Halen after 2004.Shortly after that i read another artical that was sammy hagar saying that the artical was taken out of context and that the artical was in fact false "he was quoted wrong by an interviewer"He then went on to insure the public that he will remain in Van Halen and they plan to make another album in the future.So dont anyone worry Sammy will be staying in Van Halen.<br>I personally think that they will return with another album very soon.<br>Sam is here to stay this time i know it.<br>I remember when i first started liking the band sammy was in it.<br>Those were the best year for the band back then.<br>Sammy is the only one how is truly conpatable with Eddie.<br>Eddie did well in training sammy he bent his vocals to fit the lead in a way that is amazing.<br>Ed also seemed to be at peace this time around with letting sammy cut some of his own tunes off his albums.<br>David could not be trained in this manner he was unwilling to proceed in the proceses that need to be done to become a really good singer.<br>So the point of this message is to let you all know that Sam will not be leaving the band and also not to belive everything that you hear in the press.<br> |

<br><br>Uh, I think the majority of people on this site believe that it will be a cold day in hell before we see Dave back with the band again. We'd all love to see it, but we believe it just isn't going to happen. It may have something to do with the fact that Dave slept with Alex's ex-wife... or merely the fact that they tried once, but it didn't get that far.<br><br>However, on a good side note... notice on Dave's web site, he hasn't slammed the brothers, no bad statements, he's been keeping his mouth shut for quite some time, and even has a couple of pics with the brothers... Maybe him hiding in the shadows is a good thing... we hope that maybe that could do a Dave reunion tour as well... but like I said, most people seriously doubt that something like that is even remotely possible. Still we keep our fingers crossed... should Sammy decide to leave that is...<br><br>  |

I just read Andre's loooong post at the start of this thread. Y'know I have to agree with the idea (as much as I hate to say it) that we have all seen the best of Eddie (years ago) and I really hope another guy comes along soon to reinvigorate the guitar world out there. Though I doubt there'll be anybody soon with the amazing combination of originality, skills and just plain "coolness" Eddie had. <br>What Ed has given us is beyond anything we could have hoped for but now I think we shouldn't expect too much of him. I mean come on, he's 50 years old and probably doesn't want to take any risks (musically) anymore or prove anything. We all know he doesn't need too. <br>Anyway, this site HAS been a lot of fun. It's a gas talking with all of you EVH fans out there about any and all things Van Halen, especially when somebody is always willing to do so. I don't know many people in "real life" who likes them or knows them well enough to discuss the subject as much as I like to.<br>I really hope the best for Ed. With a little care and prayers from his fans, hopefully he'll be kicking around his porch pickin' tunes for another 50 years.  |

| Eddies got the bluez, He will come out of it,think about it what rock star has ever had only one wife..The MAN and his talent is NOTHING compared to the emotions of jealosy ect,Jealosy of SAM and Cabo Wabo? Wake up! understand that a real man will act like this under a problem marriage,Hell, most men are shooting up workplaces for less than what Eddies going through,,...when you truly have the blues you cant write a song at all |

| I just got finished listening to the interview. Here's what I think of it:<br><br>1. Of course Sammy likes his band better. He has total creative control. They play what he wants, and he has final say over it. In Van Halen, he has to take three other guys' opinions into consideration. In the band I'm in, I have to do the same thing, and I have to say I prefer writing and recording my own stuff. That doesn't mean I'm going to walk on those guys.<br><br>2. It sounded to me like the guy doing the interview was looking to stir things up. He kept at it, asking if Sammy was happy with it, telling him about the Cabo shirt to get him to talk about that stuff, etc. Sammy answered the questions, and it made it look like it was getting ugly.<br><br>3. The members of every single band on earth have disagreements. It happens. It doesn't mean it's the end. If that were the case, the average lifespan of a band would be roughly fifteen minutes.<br><br>4. Sammy spent the past couple of months touring with the band. They were the only people he spent the entire time with. And when the opportunity came about, he blew off some steam. You can't tell me that Ed, Alex and Mike aren't doing the same thing. They're just not doing it on the radio. That's their choice.<br><br>5. Finally, all of the "this looks like the end for Van Halen" stuff came from the DJ at the end, and it was his personal opinion of the interview. To be honest, I heard nothing suggesting that they were not going to work together again. Everyone said they wouldn't work again when Sammy exited the band last time, and look what happened.<br><br>Setting aside all of the other stuff that has been discussed in this thread - Sammy and Ed being money-grabbers, the possibility of DLR getting back, etc. - and looking only at this interview, I think it might be a little too early to sound the death knell for the band. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, we win. Either way, it's been a wild ride up to this point, and I've enjoyed every minute of it.<br><br>Incidentally, if Dave should tour with the band again, I will eat my own foot.<br><br>Thank you for your time.<br><br>DCF |

| I agree. I think the DJ was trying to weasel some kind of "exclusive", little knowing that those of us who follow the band already know there's obviously a bit of tension.<br><br>Regardless of the outcome, I can say I saw them on this tour (Joe Louis Arena in Detroit), and I had an awesome time. And they looked like they were having a good time, too. That was good enough for me.<br><br>Oh, yeah... One more thing: "Oh, poopie..."<br><br>DCF |

Hey this is my first post.<br><br>This a very cool website I must say...<br><br>I too have been a long time VH fan. Van Halen was the first concert I went to as a teen and shortly after started playing guitar because of Ed.<br><br>Anyway, I belong to a Peavey (Peavey use to make Ed's Guitar "Wolfgang" and Amplifier "5150") amp forum as well. And there is always a great deal of posts regarding Eddie and what he is up to. Needless to say there are many fans there as well.<br><br>Here is something I posted there in response to current status of Ed and his relationship with Peavey.<br><br>"Although Eddie had the biggest influence on me as a teen to start playing the guitar, I have never purchased a single piece of gear with his name on it - which is a big surprise considering how big a VH fan I was over the years. The only piece of gear I have incorporated over the years (I'm 35) from his setup is a MXR Phase (not the new EVH MXR phase). Why? Because as much as I would like to sound like him from time to time - I can't play like him. I always thought there would be this high level of expectation once I started using his (or anyone elses) "signature" gear. That's not to say the 5150, and Wolfgang aren't great musical instruments - I have played them and they are! I just wanted to find my own way with gear that I felt comfortable with (fit me). <br><br>As for whom ever starts building his new amps, I will probably not buy "their" version of his latest collaboration either. I may revisit the music store and plug into a 6505 one day.<br><br>I have come to the conclusion, that everyone EVH has been associated or worked with over the years ends up leaving him in some sort of "soap opera" style ending. I'm tired of hearing/reading about the drama - I would rather hear music.<br>I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed with VH as a band over the last decade or so - but again their decisions - not mine. I do wish Eddie well (health most importantly)and offer him the following to ponder: <br><br>At the end of the day, if everyone you have worked with during your life seems to have a problem... maybe you need to consider the fact that "you" may have been the problem all along."<br><br>just my 2 cents...<br><br>You know Ed always reffered to singers having huge egos and all of them suffering from LSD "Lead Singer Disease"<br><br>I think Ed has proven over time that he can't handle being second banana to anyone. I use to think Ed could do no wrong....I'm older and wiser now... I can read between the lines - there is a pattern here.<br><br><br><br>  |

| Hi guys.<br><br>This is my 1st post here as well. I'll just throw in one small aspect of things that were discussed. The Rtn of DLR.<br><br>Every VH record has something to offer, even VHIII. Of course the DLR ones were the standard for everything else, VH or any other 80s band, to measure up to. Every rock that came out of that MTV era, had a wizard gtr player w/a flashy, over-the-top lead singer(..or tried to be over-the-top!!). Some of it we bought, others were just TOO much of joke.<br><br>I'm an "old-world" thinker in regards to bands and their music. I love to see bands evolve. To move into new directions because of their drive to create music. And I loved the fact that record companies used to allow bigger bands to do that. The Beatles, Sabbath, Led Zep, Judas Priest, The Who, etc..... . All these bands and many others were allowed to experiment without the pressure of "public sale", the way things are now.<br><br>The worst move VH could make IMHO would be to take DLR back into the fold just because there is a certain % of fans that love Dave to death, and what VH was when he was on board w/them. It would just dis-credit them even futher. For them to actually go back on what they have & are saying about their relationship w/DLR, would be a serious slap in the face to any fan. How could any-one be a fan of a band thats THAT two-faced?? Forget the fact that the only thing DLR's done that's even up to VH level was "ETASmile". The record ruled and is still a current favorite of mine, but really, what else is Dave capable of?<br><br>"IF" Sammy was to leave, which I agree with many of you-will happen, perhaps the best thing for the bros to do would be a multi-singer recording. The purpose of course being to get new blood in the mix and see what clicks and what doesn't. See where VH can go from here. It's ashame that G.Cherone wasn't around long enough for a 2nd recording. Gary wails on every Extreme cd there is, but under the control of Eddie, his performance fell short of at least MY expectations.<br><br>Just my 2cents here.<br>Glad to be here. Hope to find some out interesting things.<br><br>Boze. |

| As much as I would like to see VH hook up with Dave for another go-round - I think it would be disasterous and I fear that it is probably too late based on what I am hearing in reviews/interviews.<br><br>I am a big dave fan too. Don't get me wrong, I love the stuff they did with Sammy, The early material just seems so much more identifiable to me (unique). <br>There was a time when I would have took out a second mortgage on my house to get tickets for a DLR/VH reunion. Not so anymore.<br><br>I agree with evhsrv5150, I wouldn't consider it two-faced for them to go back to Dave. Based on Sammy's interview, I really don't think Ed has changed much - so I figure they would be at each other quite a bit.<br><br>On that note, based from sammys interview - he sounded frustrated with the band and kind of let down. This is the first time that I have ever heard a music professional elude to the fact that Eddies skills aren't up to par by saying that there were a FEW "Magical" moments on tour. That tells me that his playing/performance skills have diminished - for whatever reason.<br><br>Oh well, it just shows that he is human and is susceptible to all the same things that impact each an every one of us (time, booze, ego, etc)<br><br>One thing I know, I still respect the man and I would hate to see him or his band continue to go on if they aren't mentally, emotionally and physically prepared to do it. In otherwords just continue on the fuel from money and ego.<br><br>for what it's worth<br>Kalamari |
