Notice my nickname.
I have a bike painted like the Frankenstrat.
Followed them around since I was able to, unfortunately only since the Hagar years. LOVE BOTH the Hagar and the Roth years. Not that any of that matters.

I WILL NOT
NOT
GO SEE THEM ON THIS TOUR.

If Eddie is so egotistical that he cannot see that Mikey was and always will be part of the band, then he's an ass and that is NOT VH touring,it is members of VH doing a tour with replacement members.


I don't understand how people here can cheer about this at all. Mike is an ESSENTIAL, faithful member of the band, and has put up with all the BS from day one, AND can sing the high notes that DAVE sometimes couldn't!!! HE IS PART OF VH. PERIOD. (Just like you were screaming Dave was. I never argured that he wasn't)


You wanna scream and shout about the ORIGINAL VH? Eddie, Alex and Mikey ARE THE ORIGINAL VH!!! IF you recall, DAVE is the one who VOLUNTARILY LEFT in late 1984. HELLO.


What a dissapointment. What sacrilige. What a fucking stab in the back.

Hagar proved the band could go on without Roth. Whether you liked him or not, it was a cohesive unit, they wrote songs together, they had a good time together, they produced albums that sold, whether to you or not. But that STILL INCLUDED 3 ORIGINAL MEMBERS, AND THE MUSIC SOLD. IT ONLY SHOWED HOW BRILLIANT they were that they could make it work, AND WELL, with more than ONE lead singer!!

And I happen to like ALL of it, because it was ALL VAN HALEN. If you don't like Hagar, that's your business,but the three of them could still put out music and it was the original band, and it sounded good.( I personally think that means one doesn't have an open mind,if you can't listen to the Hagar years and hear that it's still VH and still good,but what do I know? I'm just a "stupid gen-Xer stripper girl who never got to see them with Roth, so I guess I'll never know what I missed" blah blah blah)

Eddie needs to grow up. He is a musical genius, and I am faithful and true to his music as much as a person can be - but that dosen't mean he has any people sense. Obviously.


After this post, I am attempting to ban myself from this thread. I feel too strongly about it.
