Eddie Van Halen lost his mind in 1985
Ok. Now that we've slammed David Lee. It's time now to zero my sights on Eddie Van Halen. Again, let me be the first....
IMO, Eddie Van Halen did no wrong during the Classic Van Halen era. However, once Dave left, IMO, Eddie could do no right.
But Punk! Van Hagar sold alot of albums. Yeah and SO WHAT? So did Brittany, Clay Atkins, Huey Lewis and News. Does that make em right, great or even worthy of my respect? In all cases, NO!
Eddie Van Halen in all his glory has pumped out a mind boggling 5 studio albums, 1 live album and two, count em TWO Best ofs. Oh btw, did I mention that it has taken Eddie Van Halen from 1985 to present to accomplish that feat. Yes, it has taken 21 plus years for the all powerful Eddie Van Halen to pump out those medicore albums. Yeah, he sure needs some time off to regroup! Give me a break! Shit, since 1998, Eddie Van Halen has graced the world with 3 new Van Halen songs and 2 porn tracks! WHEW! I just don't see how Eddie has the time to pump out such great music! See, that is what I call a waste.
How about when Eddie Van Halen took a shot at everything Classic Van Halen? Remember the remark, Classic Van Halen is a volkswagaon and the New Van Halen is a porcshe. The fact that he didn't change the name of the band says it all. The Van Halen name for the band was brought up by David, Not the Halens. By keeping the band name the same, YOU HAVE WHAT YOU GOT TODAY! A fucked up fan base. Eddie made it impossible for any new lead singer to over shadow David. See Hagar and musical soul brother. See Van Halen wasn't just about the music.
Mike, Sammy and Dave all are former members of Van Halen. All are different and have their own agendas. Yet, all of em have the same story. Eddie is lazy, Eddie is a drunk, Eddie is a miserable, etc. They have all said the same thing, at one time or another about Eddie.
Look at what happened after the Hagar era albums sold less and less then the album before it. What did he do? Got rid of Sammy! What happened when Van Halen 3 was received with a thud? Got rid of his musical soul brother! When the tough gets going, Eddie will fire your ass!
If Eddie Van Halen is such a great musican. Why does he need a lead singer to make great music? Maybe he can't?
If Eddie is such a great writer of music. Why is that the Hagar era is basically a forgotten era?
Take out the Classic era and would Van Halen be inducted into the Hall of Crap?
Why make Mike sign his rights away to something Mike helped build? Ego? Money? Lack of loyality?
WHY DOES EDDIE NEED DAVID NOW? I mean, David Lee Roth is a wash up! Dave can't cash checks his ego writes! Again, I have to ask. If Dave is so washed up, old and ego driven. WHY IS EDDIE CALLING DAVID OUT TO JOIN HIM?
I mean, damn, it's Eddie Fucking Van Halen. Why does he need someone to sing over his music?
Just some thoughts about the guy that wanted to call Van Halen, Rat Salade.

Jeez, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning...
Seems like since Ed finally brought in everyone's hero, David Lee Roth, he's getting slammed even harder.
Is it possible the folks are so dissapointed that their saviour is actually selling his soul to the almight EVH, sans Anthony & for the almighty paycheck, that they are projecting that anger onto Ed...AGAIN???!!!
Ahh, it's all too predictable, sometimes. Most times. All the time.
Oh yeah, we were supposed to slam Ed.
What is the point, Punk?
Isn't this slightly juevenile, man?
Who's next? Big Al. Mike...The guitar tech, Noel Monk, Don Landee??
Yeah, Ed sucks. He can't do anything without any singer. He can't write music to save his life. Ed's a drunk. His son is only 15 and probablly still overweight. His wife dumped him. Ed lost all his chops. Brian Young blows Ed way. Ed used to be pretty good, but he blows now. He scored a couple songs for a porno, and those movies have all kinds of gross people having sex in them. Ed's a lush.
FUCK EDDIE VAN HALEN!
Come on, EVERYONE!!!
What a boneheaded thread, just like the last one.
"Houston, we have a problem". .. another pointless thread - nearly as bad as my ones.
Oh blimey.
Well this was a slam Eddie thread. If you don't like it, don't read it or post on it. I see that you found time to post in the Slam David Lee Roth and you had no objection there. Actually you made over 8 posts on the Slam David Lee Roth thread. Yet, some how this thread is bad? Interesting....Originally Posted by unchainedguitars
