Last time I looked, it still says Van Halen Forums at the top. I'm sick of seeing supposed fans flaming out on Eddie. So he protects his interests in shit he created. Everyone of you would do the same. Maybe he has his reasons for not speaking publically about what he is up to. You act like Eddie has nothing better to do other than piss on your Van Halen fantasies. We can't even get a Sammy/Dave consensus going in here. How the hell can they possibly make everyone of you whiny pukes happy? He has said many times that he would rather speak with his guitar. Many of you supposed fans were down on the band with Gary before you even heard a note. If they would have made the most incredible album out of the gate you would have denied it. 3 wasn't the best effort but who's to say the next one wouldn't have been? Just back off and give him a break. If he is indeed sick, how would you feel about the posts you leave here if he died? Sammy has a board and so does Dave. If you really hate Van Halen why not move over there and post something you can feel good about. Maybe the moderators should start a I hate Van Halen room. You can all spew your hatred of the band there.
Sorry, but something needed to be said. Flame me all you want."Why behave in public if you're living on a playground?"

NON of the MODS hate ED (Do you guys???)
I still love ED and welcome anything he cares to contribute to the Sammy/DLR DLR/Sammy tour or to any other band as well as VH with a 4th singer...<a href="http://www.vhwalkathon.org" target="_blank">VHWalkathon - Project 316</a><br /><br />EVH: The music is first and foremost. That's the way it's always been and that's the way it will always be. Because without the music, what is there? Nothing. There's nothing without the music. You can't even cop an attitude without the music (laughs).

Just what did he personally do to you? Everyone I have ever talked to that has met him talks about how friendly and gracious he was to them. Everytime I have seen Roth in person he has had at least one bodyguard with him and as many as 6 and won't let anyone near him. Who's a dick to their fans? Don't get me wrong, the first four Van Halen albums are the best. But that horse is dead.

If by horse you mean the band, you're right.
Do I really need to explain how Ed's been a dick to his fans? It's easy to be nice in person. He's got an image to keep up. Apparently he doesn't feel it would be gracious to give fans a heads up when he isn't directly confronted. That's just great.

Dude, I could understand this sort of sentiment from someone who just tripped across the whole sordid VH scenario this week.
But Etrigan, a Links lifer like you? You've GOT to have seen how desperately overplayed this topic is. Surely you haven't missed the historical context behind the simmering bitterness that you see. Surely you haven't missed how long it's taken to build. Surely the utter multiplicity of factors over the years inviting rancor among the VH body fanatic hasn't escaped you.
It's all too easy to see why some drooling short-timer - like another newbie self-styled hotshot looking to make his bones with some of the more heavyweight skeptics around here - would come swooping to Eddie's defense as if he were making some kind of original point. But you've been watching this whole thing well nigh unto three years at least! Probably more, right?
Sorry, I'm just a little

We pay for the albums and gigs and that's exactly what we get. Until he starts selling tickets to his personal life, it's really none of our buisness.But just hanging out here waiting for news is like watching water boil. That's not Ed's fault. That's ours!
Listen, if he's sick and/or dieing then I can understand most of what he's done. That doesn't mean he shouldn't show his fans some common courtesy and tell us what is up with his band. If it's over then just fucking say so. If it's not, then please give us a timetable.
Oh, and it would be nice to know if he's ok. But if that's too personal then so be it. Heaven forbid he actually addresses his fans about ANYTHING.
