Post by IGBPost by s***@hotmail.comwolfie isn't any kind of prodigy at all. he's just another not really
good enough member of the van halen family to be in the band. i really
feel sorry for dave that his own status is so low he has to put up
with him. it must be really galling.
DLR's status so low???
if his status is so high how come the guy daren't, REPEAT daren't give
too many interviews. he knows the moment the media start describing
him as the star of van halen, the moment he gets too much publicity
it's all over between him and ed. and once that happens he can kiss
goodbye to any chance of a career. no more stadium gigs, no more big
selling albums. watch the dvd on the deluxe album release, he's
clearly pathetically grateful to be allowed back in front of a
sizeable audience again. it must kill him that he called the band Van
Halen in the first place. it must kill him that the band carries their
name. it must kill him that he's a nobody without the VH brothers -
especially with an ego that big. i've no doubt he's self aware enough
to realise that the presence of wolfie makes them all look like fools
and that he is in a really weak position that he has no choice
whatsoever but to put up with it. this from the guy that sacked billy
sheehan! christ!!
Post by IGBWTF? He's pretty much running the band again. Almost every decision
has been made by him and VH openly admit it. Did you miss the blurb on
VHND? The album wasn't even recorded at 5150.
is he indeed? wasn't it that great genius himself, without whom no van
halen album could ever have been made, or ever have been anywhere near
so brilliant, wolfagang van halen who picked the setlist for the 2007
tour? presumably he picks the set list for the latest tour - ' hey you
three, no way are we playing china town live! dad can't play guitar
and bass simultaneously! by the way, how are those mike anthony
backing vocal samples coming along? can i rehearse miming along to
them yet? where's the ice cream? where's the pepsi? where's the
fridge? fuck dieting!!! in ten years time i'll release a diet book - '
how being so talented and so successful made me fat!'
Post by IGBThis is why I must give kudos to Ed and Al for putting their egos
aside and letting Roth run the PR side again. It really feels like a
real band again. I was never totally comfortable with the 07-08 tour.
It seemed like they were forcing things and there was no real
promotion as a band.
ed and al putting their egos aside? have they fuck? there's a massive
campaign run by their management to make sure no critic gives too much
praise for the bands return to form to roth, and roth himself has had
to orchestrate it as he knows press along the lines of 'van halen are
great again thanks to the mighty roth' and 'weren't van hagar and van
cherone crap' would destroy the band in days. eddie would be as
jealous as fuck again and he and his ugly talentless, money grabbing
turd of a brother would be playing the old ' he tried to steal the
show' carda again to get rid of him. if these pair could get away with
it it would still be gary cherone on vocals and original line up fans
could go whislte for it.
there was no promotion whatsoever as a band. roth wasn't allowed to
give interviews as the brothers were terrified of him saying anything
critical of the hagar or cherone years. they were terrified of him
getting too much publicity. they can't bear the thought of him being
thought of as an important part of VH, let alone the most important
part of it. i assure you eddie is absolutely terrified of being
thought of as dave's backing musician. the slightest suggestion of it
causes an eruption of fear, anger and hatred. the VH brothers have
dave over a barrel. alex carries one of dave's testicles around in his
mouth.
eddie carries the other around in his mouth. one bit of praise too
much and they chew em up and spit em out.
as for eddie giving publicitiy. he hasn't got the balls. he's so
scared of being asked about VHIII that you'll never get an interview
out of him again. he won't even appear in any of the guitar player
magazines he used to grace before his career turned to shit. even
though al the journalists who write for these magazines know what he's
like and would never ask him anything to make him feel awkward. what a
fucking maggot!
