The Van Halens are running low on dough. That's what I read. Remember those Eddie photos a few years ago at a golf tournament? Where he looks like a homeless bum? I know the poor guy has had some med. problems...

All joking aside, is Eddie expected to live that long. He looked like he had one foot in the grave in the last couple of photos I have seen.

I gotta tell ya,
Van Halen III was one of the lamest recordings ever put together by talented people who weren't trying deliberately putting out a crappy product to wrap up a contract with a record company (see
Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye, and
Metal Machine Music by Lou Reed).
Hopefully, the turmoil in the lives of the brothers will inspire the great music that often results from bad times (Back In Black, Layla, "Ohio" and "Let's Roll," Tragic Kingdom, "Cleaning Out My Closet," etc.)

Hagar's legal team is already in discussion with Van Halen's legal team.
Just takes some of the magic away, doesn't it? Think they can manage another 5150 or OU812?

Why bring back Van Hagar?
Saw Van Hagar in summer of 1986 at the Meadowlands Arena. Bad feedback echoing off the ceiling. I think too Eddie screwed up with one of his guitar intros. He sat down at the end of the stage and played acoustic. Weird progression because it sounded like Intro to Little Guitars, Eruption, Intro to Fools, and Shave and A Haircut Two Bits mixed together with a little road fatigue--kidding! It sounded a tad worse. He faired much better launching into his Casio solos with wild abandon (sarcasm). Wished I saw Van Halen in their glory!
I recall Hagar walking along a network of catwalks up in the nosebleed section with him slapping his guitar and screeching a few Hagar ditties like, umm something about one way to rock, and, umm I can't sing -sorry-drive 55, and umm Your love keeps something me crazy? But when Hagar dared to sing a Roth tune I shook my head and thought, "Stop! Please someone call up Roth and get him over here QUICK! And take that guitar away, Hagar's gonna hurt himself up there."
So I later saw David Lee Roth at MSG to compare bands. Roth was an excellent showman and was in fine form vocally. He worked the crowd from the nosebleeds to the front of the stage. Felt like one big party. I remember this enormous airbag microphone which was improvised as only Roth could improvise. At one point he rode the thing like a horse. Speaking of horse, Steve Vai was awesome! IMHO HE BLEW AWAY OLD and NEW EDDIE. Too bad Vai left for his solo projects and Roth was overcome with excess.
I have no use for Van Hagar or Van Extreme. It's all about ego and pride between the original Van Halen boys. Something not said is really at the root of the entire problem. And pretty soon they'll be another one of those bands that have a reunion in their 60's to pay off the collection agency.
People will pay to see the original band. It's what the people really want. Why can't they let the show go on?

Van Halen's video "Dreams", featuring the Blue Angels, is the best video of all time.

With all this hype and commentary, I wonder if anyone actually knows what "5150" really is/means? Just a question....

You know, there's something about 50+ aging rockers singing "Hot for Teacher" that's just a bit unstable.
