Some Guy is now so excited he won't be able to walk straight for a week.

I saw recently a DVD "Van Halen The Early years" documentary covers them up to Dave quitting the band to start his solo career after 1984 album came out, & then the band pissed off at him, I think he's a different person today, but as a frontman he made the band happen too, kind of wish they would bring Michael A. back, he wasn't just a Bass player, a lot of that high pitched vocals came from him, harmony ones anyway, when their first album came out in '78, there wasn't quite another band like that around at the time, the brown sound as it was called.

" will this bring sway back ? "

Badfingerbanger is rumored to be playing this gig...

We must be the dumbest bastards in the world to still be clinging to these fuck ups. Roth is a fag, Eddie is a neurotic control freak, Alex looks as frail Mick Mars of Motley Crue, and Wolfgang is the epitome of our cultural youth--a fat fuck up. For us to spend anymore time waiting for these people to shit out some lame tunes is a pathetic commentary on our lives.- VH board

I agree. Certainly Mike A. got on everyone's nerves ... but as you stated he was a good bass player and his high pitched back ground vox lent to the VH sound. Too bad their time has passed.

*Maybe they should bring back Gary Cherone ... (alright naturally that's a joke... but I will give him credit. He left VH because he realized it just wasn't him. He was real with it after giving it a go. He is a good front man ...but yes ... he can get on your nerves as well...).

Apparently Van Halen is planning on releasing their first new album in over a decade next year. That is not all though, David Lee Roth, who has not appeared on a full Van Halen album since 1984, is in the studio recording with them. So, in recognition of this fairly exciting development, here are five things you didn’t know about David Lee Roth.

1) The 1983 Rolling Stone Record Guide Vol 2. described Roth as “the most obnoxious singer in human history, an achievement notable in the face of long tradition and heavy competition.”

2) Roth was ranked by Hit Parader nineteenth on their list of the 100 Greatest Heavy Metal Singers of All Time.

3) The infamous “Brown M&Ms” clause written into Van Halen’s early contract riders was included in contracts not because of ego, but rather to make sure that structural stage specifications in the contract were read thoroughly and were adequately provided.

4) In January 1991, Roth released A Little Ain’t Enough. The stage show for the accompanying tour featured two devil statues that urinated whiskey at Roth’s audience and a pair of giant inflatable legs positioned “spread-eagle” wearing ripped, fishnet stockings.

5) In April 1993, Roth was arrested in New York City’s Washington Square Park for buying what he described as “$10 worth of Jamaican bunk reefer” from an undercover police officer. The arrest made headlines and became a late-night television punch-line. When asked by Howard Stern whether the bust was a publicity stunt, Roth said, “Howard, in New York City this small of a bust is a $35 traffic citation. It literally says ‘Buick, Chevy, Other’. Your dog poops on the sidewalk, it’s $50. If I was looking for publicity, I would have pooped on the sidewalk.”

You learn something new every day.
