I'm beginning to rethink that it isn't Sammy who really needs to STFU.

Indeed.

And isn't it funny how these people say that they need to have their opinions respected yet when Sam voices his opinions about VH they can't handle it and they shit their pants and start crying?

After a little weeding... here's what this thread could have looked like

Here's what Chad has to say about seeing Van Halen in the seventies:

Chickenfoot Members Praise Van Halen (VHND)

In 1975, Ronnie Montrose had already hired Bob James, a Sam lookalike, as the singer. So since you worry a lot, you'll be happy to know that Sammy will sleep fine at night after reading this.

The show in Detroit that Chad was talking about was in 1978.

Interesting story by Chad Smith. Maybe someday the Foot and VH can tour together.

An other alternative is to put your name on it so if it does get re posted on the net the original source is credited. The majority of people here have a reverence and love for the band so everyone is excited for info on this exciting album and tour.

It's still very much the wild west on the internet though. From IP piracy to rude behavior.

Btw two things unrelated.

I love the post you made about treating people online as you would face to face. I've always felt that way as well.

2nd and more importantly..fantastic work on the new Van Halen Album. A lot of us old time fans who regress when we come here to celebrate VH's return love the album!

I hope in the future you can stomach the possibility of a Q & A with fans etc.
I'd have a ton for you!

Very curious about Honeybabysweetie doll. The lyrics on the inner sleeve and the video Dave made talking about it include words that were edited out. I'd love to get some insight on that. That is such a great, unique and unexpected song. It's a gem a lot of fans love.

Seems like a last minute type thing after the vocals were completed? love the tune but would be better even if he subbed in "messed up" for fked up for example instead of dead air.

I guess then "bitch" as in Hamptons Bitch would have warranted the sticker as well?

I would love if VH could sell a unedited version on itunes etc. One of my top 5 tunes on ADKOT and it would be a tad better, the lyrical flow and attitude of the song if it was as intended.

End of derailment.

People are not starting shit. It would be wrong to sit back and not stand up for those that have differing opinions that other's have. Like i said, my original username and tag had,

favorite album- Anything without Sammy or Gary
favorite song- Same as above

Do you think i'm gonna give a positive opinion about anything that deals with those 2 era's of VH. Hell no, i'm gonna give my opinion, but be respectful of other that disagree.

The problem here, is that some of you can't see it but one way and make very threatening and downright nasty insults that lead to a personal shitstorm and that's just not cool. If you don't like what's being posted you have the opportunity to either post or not. No one should be told to stfu and go away, that's wrong on many levels.

Where were these people the past 4-5 years?

God damn, I can't wait until this tour is over and most of these new members crawl back into whatever hole in the ground they were occupying before they came here.

Careful there pal.

I've seen 30+ shows since 1980. If it's true that you're only 23 years old, then you were still swimming inside your Dads ball sack in the Canadian wilderness in 1980.

I see you're from Toronto. You want to talk about shit holes? don't get me started about your fucking country.

I don't know why Brett tolerates your behavior. constantly whining and shitting on new members.

Sammy brought this heat to himself. He's constantly shitting on EVH and Dave. what do you think the VH and DLR fans are going to say??????

I'd be careful with who you pick fights with around here. You think people rally around Mike? Keep calling out MF5150 and you won't like the results.

Sonrisa Vertical · 03.02.12, 09:39 AM

Fucking shit...really, a pic of Chad with VH and all we can do fight about who has the biggest dick?

I do have to admit, since the release of the album, this place is intolerable.

I don't see Sammy in the picture, why is he being brought up?

Wait, nevermind, we know why......

What an insightful post. Someone should give you a dollar for it.

There's a pic of Chad with VH?

Again, welcome to Main, 2012.

I will call out anyone if i think they're being a douche.

Oh wow tell me what's going to happen if "I keep calling out MF5150" I'd like to know.

MF5150 mentioned Sammy. I replied to his post.

I don't think Sammy will take too kindly to this kind of treason, as HE will see it...

...but then again, with Dave's sub-par performance recently, this meeting with Chad COULD be the Van Halen brothers' feet through the door into finding out their possible future chances with Sammy. The album tanked, and where's Dave in that pic??!!?!?? Hmmmmm????? Wouldn't surprise me one bit if Eddie asked Chad how Sammy's doing and what he's up to...

Stranger things have happened.
