It's not about who does what, it's about the common goal to get the job done. Sammy wrote all the lyrics so how about only Sammy gets paid? What did Alex do to deserve an equal part then? Because his name is Van Halen? NO!!!!! Your making it sound once again that Eddie DID IT ALL! If he did, why did he need a band then? Apparently he doesn't and it shows till this day! Without Dave, Sammy, and Mike, there would be no Eddie. So Rick,

When your at work and another co-worker does the same job as you, but yet makes more money than you and you’ve been there the same amount of time, do you think you deserve to get paid the same?

It’s not about who does what, it’s about the common goal to get the job done. Sammy wrote all the lyrics so how about only Sammy gets paid? What did Alex do to deserve an equal part then? Because his name is Van Halen? NO!!!!!

Your making it sound once again that Eddie DID IT ALL!

If he did, why did he need a band then? Apparently he doesn’t and it shows till this day!

Without Dave, Sammy, and Mike, there would be no Eddie.

That is how things run. Why you think Satch is so eager to get hold of that "Gwyneth Paltrow money"? Because if it turns out he wrote it, then he gets a big share of the proceeds. So neutrally, yes I'm telling you that for "EVERY ALBUM, EVERY TOUR, AND EVERYTHING ELSE Mike and Sammy did, they didn’t deserve an equal share", because that's the truth, unless you use the word "deserve" in some romantic way. I guess Mike didnt even really play bass on half the albums, for VHIII he admitted to that and I'm sure that was not the first incident. In every 2nd interview Sammy said himself Eddie wrote all the music, if you dont believe me go back to youtube and do some research. Thats a cloear cut case for me.

The Beatles all the way down to 2 Live Crew started out with a vision, made it a reality and worked hard. Your telling me that EVERY ALBUM, EVERY TOUR, AND EVERYTHING ELSE Mike and Sammy did, they didn't deserve an equal share? So Eddie sings, plays bass, and plays guitar on every album, and every tour? George and Ringo lived justfine without worrying about money because they knew they had done their job, and did it well. Besides, the Beatles were friends and still are, unlike Eddie, Mike, and Sammy. Who's fault is that Rick? Certainly not Mike's and the new James Brown, Sammy Hagar! Without those 2 in Van Halen, this band would've had to do what Eddie wanted to do and that's do an "all star" record with Phil Collins, Pete Townsend, and Patti Smyth or whoever else they wanted to sing when Dave "jumped" ship to be a solo artist. Thank god for Sammy and thank god for Mike! Rick,

You think the Beatles split everything equally by 4? For The Who Townsend didnt get the lionshare for writing all the songs? Wake up. I'm not saying Mikey and Sammy deserve nothing, but I think they got way more than their fair share. And Eddie deserves recognition for sharing equally instead of being called an a**hole by everybody. Jeremy – what does royalties for songwriting have to do with being a band?
