(The Smoking Gun) Obvious In a shocking turn of events, the backstage rider for Van Halen's 2008 tour stipulated that Dave's dressing room be as far away from Eddie's as possible. This must be just like livin' in paradise   (thesmokinggun.com) divider line 31

When I saw em it was like some weird old guy was hopping around the stage while 3 great musicians jammed.

I'll bet Eddie is just tired of Diamond Dave lighting his farts all the time.

Van Halen has been farking with us for decades.

David Lee Roth has left the building. How do you guys feel about Sammy Hagar? He's okay, huh? We'll give you about a decade to get used to him, but he's out eventually...Paving the way for Dave's triumphant return, right? Right! We're all gonna get onstage at the VMA's and give you guys all kinds of false hope! Then, we're gonna do our next record with the douche from Extreme! Don't worry. We're only gonna keep him for an album. THEN we'll get Diamond Dave back for the BIG REUNION YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR except we're replacing Michael Anthony with Eddie's pugdy loser teenage kid. Don't worry, though...You can see Mike on the road. With Sammy Hagar.

I'm surprised they haven't found Eddie's body somewhere by now.

Yup, bit him too.

The sad thing is only 8 people care enough about this washed up band to comment.


/Seen 'em live, or at least as close as Eddie comes to appearing alive these days.

Honestly, no. I'm not even a fan. And after their career, I'm glad I'm not.

I wonder if they all ride in separate buses too.

Bus #1 should be as far away from buses #2 and #4...at least 20 miles ahead

I know Van Halen is way past the bus stage but it would be kind of funny

On the plus side, Valerie Bertinelli got sick of Eddies shiat, left him and got hot again.

I saw 'em on the second leg of the reunion tour (three quarters original, one quarter inevitable), after Eddie's little break, and they were very good. Eddie was having a blast, and Roth was much more athletic than in the clips from the first couple of shows.

As for Alex and Lumpy, well, who really cares?

/Wish I had met Lumpy

Eddie on the sauce (seen on the internet) versus off of it and on a guitar magazine cover (in a store) made me do a double take.

I like Van Halen, all iterations. Wish I had the money and nerve to get the 5150 2 12" combo instead of Peavey's solid state brand half-stack. Oh well.

/The neck on Wolfgang's is so slim

He does have kinda smallish hands (big palms, short fingers). Then again, so do I. Thank goodness for the EBMM EVH (or Axis). Most comfortable guitar neck on the planet.

No finish on the neck helps, too.

My most common responses when someone sees my guitar:

"Yes, that is mold in the grain of the wood caused by sweat"
"Yes, I know it's gross."
"No, the fingerboard isn't painted gray."

Well, it's adolescent music, why not act the part as well?

Came here for vintage pics of Valerie. Left sorely disappointed.

I bet y'all didn't know that Eddie had sex with Snyder from One Day At A Time!!!

 
DinsdalePiranha 2008-12-02 02:47:50 AM  
Regarding the dressing room separation, it could be they're checking guitars, tuning and warming up. Maybe Dave doesn't want to listen to the noise -- and vice versa.

 
zunkus 2008-12-02 03:04:05 AM  
I want to be a rock star just so I can demand the most insane shiat ever. Not that I would need or use any of it but just to be able to say "hey I want 37 bottles of Hamm's, 7 iced, 13 cooled with liquid nitrogen, and 17 at room temp. And a banana."

 
Steed Lankershim 2008-12-02 05:17:02 AM  
Whats up with all this pussy ass gatorade, fresh fruit, and granola bars these guys want? Thats soooo ROCK AND ROLL!

VH2009 rider will be Geritol and calcium supplements.

Britney Spear's Speculum: I thought it was funny that Wolfgang requested two bottles of cabernet.


hmm ... i think that was Eddie and it was four bottles. Read much?

No drugs, eh? I counted 54 Red Bulls between them before they even hit the stage. Might as well switch to Meth; less aggression.

Is this why tickets cost 75 bucks?

75 bucks? Where did you get them that cheap?

Eddie's best solo of all time:

Michael Anthony is one of the best background vocalists in rock. All the unreal VH harmonies are him and he could do them live. How the fark they let him go after all his loyalty to the band and replace him with Wolfgang is beyond me.
