Comments on: Chickenfoot tease http://www.vhnd.com/2009/01/21/chickenfoot-tease/ The Latest News & Info about The Mighty Van Halen Tue, 27 Dec 2011 23:29:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Cabo Wabo Tequila Man http://www.vhnd.com/2009/01/21/chickenfoot-tease/comment-page-2/#comment-13896 Cabo Wabo Tequila Man Tue, 24 Feb 2009 05:25:18 +0000 http://www.vhnd.com/?p=572#comment-13896 To VH2008, I would like to apologize for insulting you and your beliefs. But as I sit here and read your thread again, you said Van Halen sold a ton of albums while Sammy was in the band, but the majority was with Dave? And what's the point? EVERY ALBUM Sammy did with Van Halen went platinum and #1. A #1 single sells albums but 1 #1 single in all those years? The planet I'm from is the same planet you and every other Roth fan wishes they could be a part of. Dave was a success from 1978-1984. Sammy was a success from 1985-1996. He was in the band longer and had more commercial success than Dave. What pisses me off is that all these Dave fans think he is god. Well your god tried to ruin the band he helped make famous. And now he is back doing what? Being Eddie's puppet and waiting for what to happen? Yes all of Dave's albums went platinum which is great, but he left the band. He is back to do what as I've said? Where's the interviews or the information Dave always delivered? He's on a gag order just like the Dallas Cowboys. That band now is all smoke without a fire. You want to know why the tour didn't start right away the first time? Because Dave wanted Mikey back to make it an official reunion tour and Eddie and Al said no. I guess Michael Anthony's time in the band was worth erasing like they tried to do on VH1 and Women and Children First. Wake up and realize Dave is a cancer to this band and to Eddie. Or is it Eddie that is really the cancer of the all mighty Van Halen? The proof is in the pudding. To VH2008,

That's terrible. And you do the math. 1)5150 #1 2)OU812 #1 3)For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge #1 4)Live Right Here Right Now #1 5)Balance #1 6)Greatest Hits Vol 1 #1 7)Best of Both Worlds #1 All albums with Dave were never #1. Jump was the only #1 thing Van Halen did with Dave. Thanks to Sammy objecting to a greatest hits album, that finally gave Dave a #1 album. Sammy is a musician, not a frontman and this isn't 1984. It's 2009 and Van Halen is washed up. How many "reunion" tours does Van Halen need to do? How about Gary Cherone comes back and they do one with him? They are waiting for Wolfgang to graduate before they do anything? But it was okay to tour while he was in school? Open your eyes and realize van Halen took your money and ran off with it. While they wait for who knows what, sit back, get older and prance around in your silver shiny pants and pretend it's 1984 all over. Meanwhile, I'll be at a Sammy show, enjoying music from the past 30 years and then watch Chickenfoot play music and actually watch 4 musicians play music. I bet every Dave fan also likes a good Broadway show too? Good luck waiting for Van Heineken to make music. It just ain't going to happen period.

Sammy had 4 number #1 albums with VH, not 7. And while VH sold a ton of albums with when Sam was in the band, most of those albums were the old Roth albums, not the newer Hagar albums. You said "Before Van Halen he had a solo career that Dave or Eddie wished they had." LOL! I don't even know what to say to that one! Sammy's semi-successful career was NOTHING compared to VH's legendary, untouchable career in the '80s. This is a fact. No further explanation is needed. Then you said "Dave is a showman who’s act grew old quick while in Van Halen." LOL! Dave was BY FAR THE MOST POPULAR Rock frontman in the world in 1984. This is not even arguable. Sammy was insugnificant compared to him. You: "The reunion tour was a sham". HUH?? You're telling me that my favorite tour I ever saw was a sham? I am 39 years old and hard to please, concert-wise. That last VH tour was 2 hours of absolute VH bliss, and my friends & I thought it was SO much better than the Van Hagar tours. That's wonderful that you prefer Hagar, I'm happy for you. But please don't try to rewrite history. To: “CW Tequila Man”

In all honesty, what has Dave or Eddie accomplished since Sammy left the band? VH3 didn't even go platinum and 1 of Dave's albums went platinum. Dave had one #1 single in his whole career, and that was Jump. Sammy has 7 #1 albums with Van Halen and has sold over 45 million albums while in the band.Before Van Halen he had a solo career that Dave or Eddie wished they had. It's funny that the people who support Dave are the ones who were bashing him when HE left Van Halen cuz he thought he was the band and they needed him. Turns out that they didn't and got Sammy to fill his shoes and it became about music again with a musician. Dave is a showman who's act grew old quick while in Van Halen. 3 great musicians and a circus clown who thought he was Mr. Hollywood. Well what are they doing now? Sammy continues to do what he has done longer than anybody in Van Halen and does it his way. So what if it's about tequila or partying or about love. Dave talked about whiskey,about a country, and wasn't talking about love in most of his songs either. Every artist talks about sex,alcohol, and cars. Both did it and were a part of the greatest band in the world. Funny thing is that Eddie ruined this band by being a drunk and a control freak. All 4 had input and then it came down to 1 because Eddie was told by people it's HIS band. No it was made up of 4 people with the desire to conquer the world and then all it took was 1 to ruin it. The reunion tour was a sham and how many reunion tours do we need to have to prove what? That you need money? No to prove that you are washed up and can't provide the fans with music and make us wonder if there is something special coming out. There won't be from Van Halen and thank god Sammy and this Chickenfoot thing is coming out as well as everything else Sammy does. Sammy is about the fans and the music. Dave is about Dave and Eddie is about which beer he can drink out of business. This is 2009, not 1978-1984. That Van Halen era is dead just like the "new" one coming out. Time to put it to bed and just remember the old times for what they were, old times. I love reading all these comments about the comparison’s between Sammy and Dave with Van Halen.

I cant wait to buy this album in April, and I think it is going to be a great success. These guys all like each other and get along...I think chemistry in a band is huge...makes a rockin' album.

Boys and girls, lets not whine too much. Of all the bands/members noted, the thing you complainers forget is that these musicians did something a little better than the rest of us could. Just like sports, they worked a little harder than the rest of us, and they deserve to move up the ladder. That's why they have a little fame and fortune, some more than others. If you don't like it, don't buy it. I don't like baseball, so guess what? Get ready for this man, this is big: I don't like baseball so I don't watch it! I am not going to spend an evening cranking on others. The more I try to convince them that they need to see things my way, the more they will realize how much they like baseball and how big of an ass bag I am. Better yet, don't waste your time pissing and groaning on a website forum speculating about the great unknown. That's like saying the 2009 world series is going to suck because I hear its going to have two teams and wooden bats. Back to the music, my opinion is it's got to be better than what I could record. Likewise, I will buy the CD because I am a Satriani fan and its got a hard rock feel to it. Now if Joe and Sam were teaming up with Wilson Philips, I wouldn't be typing this note trying to save the world from that mess. So its got some talented rock-n-roll type dudes that have been around (almost a little too long,) and that is why I'm interested. If your not interested, these aren't the droids your looking for. Now on to better things... I have to prove to some other site and the whole world why JBL should be the concert sound, and why butter is superior to margerine, and why dogs are smarter than cats, and what the hell happened to Pepsi's new logo, and why my opinion is not as good as yours....blah blah snorezzzzz...Apple ipod touch over priced marketing genius,...snore...mud is better than dirt...zzzz...Wolverine...beats..zzz...Teletubbies Its not easy being green as Kermit once sang.
