From www.Melodicrock.com. Remarks are from web site host....

A busy weekend as far as rock n roll news. The biggest news I guess is a rare radio appearance by Eddie Van Halen, phoning into the Howard Stern show to update listeners on everything Eddie.
I haven't heard the interview myself, but if I get audio of it, I'll post here. The champs at VHLinks.com have a detailed conversation thread going about the interview here: www.vhlinks.com/vbforums/showthread.php?t=33732. It seems Ed was his usual entertaining self on the phone
- his comments definitely giving fans an indication on where Van Halen goes from here (if anywhere). Highlights of the interview incude:
- Eddie calling Sammy and Mike's Other Half a 'cover band'
- Stating that Van Halen is now himself, Alex and son Wolfgang. Anthony can 'do whatever he wants...'
- Stating that he was open to working / touring with David Lee Roth but any involvement with Michael Anthony seems all but impossible.
- Talked about his music in the adult film calling it a 'struggle between good and evil'.
- Smoking didn't cause him cancer, it was the use of metal picks, which he always had in his mouth.
- Next release will be a solo album or project with Alex and Wolfgang.
- Called Hagar 'Little Red Rocker' and 'Little Red Worm') and Michael Anthony 'Hot Sauce Sobileski'.
- Also talked of investing in a cancer center (something management told me in 2004...a substantial amount of money from all reports).
One of the favorite aspects of VH was the guitar solos, use of synthesizer, and Michael Anthony's backup vocals.
LOL. And I'm upset with those who post they are sick and tired of the posters who don't care who post all the time.
Grow up!
I love VH with Dave only. I like very few songs of Van Hagar's, however; I do like Sammy solo. He (like Dave) puts on a great concert for fans.
Love Roth's 'California Girls' video!

Interesting, isn't it?

Sure, okay , whatever you say. *eye roll*
BTW, FR isn't a blog--I'm sure Jim (the owner of FR) would be pretty disappointed to know that one of his FReepers thinks FR is a blog site. Shame on you.
Anyhow, thanks for playing. ...buh-bye now.
