Two Dorks once again reach The King

Greg Dwyer and Bill Michaels, Davenport, Iowa's morning crew on Q106.5, have posted a third mp3 call to Edward Van Halen.

Unlike the previous two calls, this one was rushed and cut short, but Eddie was good-natured and they shared several laughs. Little news was uncovered but what did come through was very welcome for those awaiting new Van Halen music as he revealed that the band has recorded a third new song, which he is currently mixing for the upcoming CD!

This transcript of the call was lovingly pilfered from the VH Forums:

EVH: Hello?

D&M: Eddie!

EVH: Yeah?

D&M: Hey, it's Dwyer & Michaels in Iowa!

EVH: ...and?

D&M: How you doin'?

EVH: I'm on the phone with a female companion.

D&M: By the name of?

EVH: Of what?

D&M: We're just trying to see what her name was.

EVH: Oh.

D&M: Is that more important than talking to us? 'Cause if it is, we'll understand.

EVH: Well... yeah, it is... unless you give good head.

D&M: Well, you're not gonna get that from us, so...

EVH: I could play you part of a great fuckin' song right now -

D&M: Okay!

EVH: ...but she's more important, so you're shit outta luck!

D&M: Can we call back in a little while?

EVH: I'm gonna be asleep, man.

D&M: Oh, okay.

EVH: I've been gettin' three hours of sleep a night. I'm mixing, we're recording, finishing the third tune here at my house and we're mixing somewhere else, and - hold on a second.

D&M: Okay.

EVH: Alright, you know what she said?

D&M: What?

EVH: She goes, 'Tell 'em to fuck off.'

D&M: No! It sounds like somebody who knows us.

EVH: No, it's, uh... it's not a chick with a dick, but she's definitely got balls.

D&M: So, are you guys rehearsing right now, then, getting ready for the tour?

EVH: Hey, c'mon, our first fucking gig is June 12th!

D&M: Well, I don't know, I'm hoping you're already ready to go!

EVH: I was born ready. If the rest of the guys aren't, that's their problem.

D&M: So you're working on track number three for the CD.

EVH: Yeah. Aw, c'mon, you know, I shouldn't be telling you any of this shit.

D&M: That's alright!

EVH: Yeah, for you!!! Shit. You know, who gives a fuck, really? I don't give a shit, you know? Put it this way: obviously, the hat (sic) is out of the bag... ah, shit. I gotta go. Call me tomorrow.

D&M: We'll call you tomorrow.

EVH: Alright?

D&M: Alright.

EVH: Bye.

D&M: Bye. Thank you!

EVH: Bye. You're welcome. Bye.
