    this is an interesting quote...

    Roth Army: You're an industry guy, what have you heard about the Mighty Van Halen re-uniting with Diamond Dave?

    Tramp: I happen to know to people who was with them at the beginning of Van Halen and up and till Roth left. I know a lot. But my heart finds it
    hard to believe, that these people who have said so much trash about each other would unite. Everyone knows it would be for the money. I really believe that Eddie and Alex hates Roth with a passion. But on the other hand I believe Roth could persevere this in all true professionalism, just to go out there and show Kiss who's king of the night time world.

    my favorite quote!!!

    Roth Army: Ok, everyone from David Coverdale to David Hasselhoff has been rumored to be Van Halen's new lead singer...would you sing for Eddie Van
    Halen if you were asked? Have you ever been approached to sing for VH?

    Tramp: I know Eddie pretty good. But if he asked. I would be honest and tell him I can't fill the position both as front man and as a singer.
    Gary Cherone should have said that. To me that is the worst vocal performance ever, I absolutely hate it, and what he did. He should have been man (?) enough to know what Van Halen is, and refused.
    I love Sammy Hagar in Van Halen and I never did compare it to Roth or anything. But just looked at it as what the band sounded like. Everyone knows that Van Halen with Roth is the only real Van Halen. Still they should be allowed to go on without Roth, like he did. Just leave the Trash for Kid Rock or Tommy Lee.

    But I suppose that YOU have the right though huh!?
    ExpandedConsciousness:

    WOW!!! HOLYFUCKINGFUCK!!! What kind of Twilight Zone am I living in? What kind of Viagra-Testosterone mix are these 50 year old + guys on? I never thought I'd hear another Dave and Eddie album again. If I did, I thought it would be a mid-paced affair like the Rolling Stones or later day AC/DC. After the TATTOO single I was ready for a poppy album from old guys, with a few nods to harder rock (She's A Woman and Bullethead) and I would have been happy with that.

    I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE GETTING A FULL-THROTTLE HARD ROCK, HEAVY METAL, BALLS TO THE WALL, FUCKING VAN HALEN THRASH METAL ALBUM!!!

    Some pretty interesting quotes from Mike Tramp. Would he really have said no to Eddie at the time? Gary thought it was a good situation and I'm sure many others would have loved to be in his position. On the other hand, some folks (like M. Tramp) probably knew well enough to not want to fill the shows of Dave and Sammy.

    You got it wrong Bozo Knows Nothing...

    He said, "Everyone knows that Van Halen with Roth is the only real Van Halen."

    VH + Roth = The ONLY REAL Van Halen... [img]graemlins/devil.gif[/img]

    It sounds like Tramp had a lot of respect for Van Halen and stated his opinion. That's all.
    Just go for it!

    mike tramp is full of shit, if he was asked to sing he would, like i said before if you were asked to be the new singer for van halen would you say no? no you would not because would'nt you want to be the guy to put van halen back on top again? i know i would, because they can not go any lower then they are now, there is only one way to go and thats to the top.
    van halen shall return. what you think is nothing might be something after all.

    Mike Tramp is just another person with an opinion, just like the rest of us...and I partly agree about Cherone...I think he sucked as no one has sucked before with VH....but any lead singer given that chance would be an idiot to say no...
    Also , Mike Tramp would be just another Cherone with Vh...for one reason...he has no edge to his voice...I liked some of White Lions stuff...but I always was thinking "ok Mike...would you like to buy a consonant?" And if you cant run around on stage and sing without losing your breath...sit the f*** down !!!
    Mike Tramp would have one advantage with VH...he knows every lick Ed ever played because Vito Bratta ripped them all off...
    just my opinion
