Lost Info on 1996 Van Halen Reunion with David Lee Roth

[@gman21266]

The fact that ALL of the lead singers who worked with Van Halen say Eddie was an asshole - kinda tells me all I need to know.

[@princeofpcos9804]

I was watching this live on tv. When the crowd erupted I had to squint to recognize the four guys who walked out. Then I was like 'Oh shit. That's what the world needs, some classic Van Halen to set shit straight'. And then Billy Corgan said those exact words.

By 96 Dave was done. His Vegas shtick and his lack of vocal talent were obvious.

[@OceanLives-j5k]

yes, he’s popular with the homosexuals because He’s one of them.

[@vanshipman]

I remember watching MTV and being stoked beyond belief that Dave was back. Then I had to wait to hear the new tunes and they were both killer. So when I found out it wasn’t to be, I was furious. Now all the while I was also a HUGE Extreme fan, so I was intrigued to find Cherone as the new singer. The problem with their album was the poor production. If they had given Cherone time to gel with the band, I bet you it would’ve been great. I saw them live twice with Cherone and they sounded fantastic. Mind you, I’m Dave all the way, but it was great hearing Cherone willing to tackle both catalogs. They broke out deep cuts and it was great. Edward’s playing was on point, but after that he started down a dark path. Thank GOD he reemerged playing like his old self before he passed. RIP Edward Forever the GOAT 🙏🎸

VH 3 has bigger problems. Alex didn't play drums on the album. That was Eddie.

[@Bob-r4b6v]

@@RockNewsQuickies I never knew that!

[@RockNewsQuickies]

Yep. He was having substance abuse issues, and he was going through a divorce. So, Alex wasn't there and there was a new singer. Alex is a big part of that VH chemistry. Eddie even sang a song on the album. It was a mess.

[@Bob-r4b6v]

Thanks, man. You know your stuff.

[@WeLuv9x5]

The more I hear about EVH, especially how he and AVH conspired to f’ over Micheal Anthony, the more I despise EVH and AVH! If it wasn’t for DLR and MA, VH would have never ascended! Truth!

[@avarose316]

Dude if you gonna throw mud at the VH bros about MA you need to throw DLR in that mud pit too.. It was DLR that started that MA % cut.. Dave said he want more money because he wrote all the lyrics and that’s when he told Ed n Alex what he was going to do Ed said shit man I write all the music and MA does do anything other than show up and play what had already been written for him and the dude didn’t even show up for practice that’s when they made that rule that MA had to show up every-time the band was working on new music .. MA had the best gig ever never wrote anything never was told that he had to share any % from his sponsorships from JDs nor Disney he was allowed to keep all his earnings and still keeps those earnings to this day … Me I think he got the best deal in the house… js

[@goodquestion1105]

@@avarose316 you are bang on target, these crybaby fans saying Mike got screwed when it's obvious he didn't. Has Mike ever complained about the royalties? Nah, he knows he was on a good wicket and got paid overs for years. He has a mansion, many investment properties and a HANGAR full of vintage cars and all he contributed was A-A-A-A-foghorn bg vocs-A-A-A-A and he left VH to join Sam anyways, it's not as if Wolfgang elbowed him outta the way. Haha "Mike got screwed over" sounds more like Ed and Dave got screwed over for years when they were doing the heavy lifting creatively.

[@Jay-i5j6d]

those 2 songs proved that it could have worked well, like the early days! but it was never to be.

[@princeofpcos9804]

A Different Kind of Truth is a good listen. It isn't raw like their first five, it feels compressed and not great editing and production, but some great riffs and some good songs on there

EVH was a weird dude. I suppose all genius artists are a bit crazy to begin with. I think the decades of booze and drugs demolished his brain.

Wers the proof he even said that?

[@DaTo-k1o]

Once you've fallen from VH grace, you were done. DLR never had a second shot at achieving his original status in the band. In fact, I think the only reason Ed brought DLR back was to give Wolf a launching pad (Ed knew his days were numbered).

Wonderful guitarist, shit human being. -DLR

[@ozzydoop1473]

I’m somewhere in the middle with the VH direction : DLR had differing ideas to the VH bros & poor MA was in the centre of all The bands chaos, then again we wouldn’t have had those epic albums if the band wasn’t the way they were individually, so none of them suck, they all rock & I am so appreciative of what VH & DLR has given to the world

[@TonyFromSyracuse101]

yeah, that doesn’t sound believable… That they’re just trying to help him get into a better place to get his band together

[@whyitmatterstome]

Dave went from one of the greatest front man in rock to a goofy has been in less than a decade. He was always playing a part - just wish he had chosen a better role for himself after the split.

[@jason-hy8ci]

Wow, I've been trying to figure out EVH's character since I started hearing Grumblings some years back. Mostly, his Honesty. NOBODYS Perfect, but I guess a lot of Life issues just in the way you do your UN-NICE things. Anyway, this was the most obvious case of B.S. I've EVER heard from EVH, PERIOD.

[@faridsayegh3512]

Roth is a showman. Its what he was trained and conditioned to be.

[@keithvlombardo]

We all love EVH for his musical brilliance and those amazing songs. Having said that, throughout the decades many, if not all, of the stories surrounding departed members don’t track. He’s always come across as disingenuous in these matters.

[@andrerone8208]

I thought David was back in Van Halen when I heard those two new songs and I could have been happier more than anyone else but when I heard that Gary was being auditioned for the group I was disappointed and yet duped for misleading information so I left it at that

Yeah Dave screwed everything up for Van Halen by this cause Mitch Malloy had already auditioned for the front man gig and was given the job but Mitch backed out when he saw DLR walk out on stage with them at the MTV Awards .Malloy was a amazing singer and IMO would have been a better fit than Sammy or even Dave at that time .
