    Just in case there is anyone left on the planet who still believes the DC/VH rumour, Mr Coverdale had this to say while doing an online chat to promoting his new album. Wonder what Page and Eddie said to each other?

    Sorry FORD

    ------------------------------


    Would you ever consider working with Eddie Van Halen?

    David Coverdale: I would LOVE to do a project with Edward Van Halen. He is one of the most exciting and stimulating musicians I have ever heard. I must add, that there is absolutely no basis of truth or any foundation in the rumors of me joining Van Halen. The last time I saw Edward in person, was in my hotel room in 1993, whilst I was working with Jimmy Page. Jimmy and I were having tea; Edward chose to have a beer.

    Well, Dave is finally talking about Van Halen, it's just the wrong Dave.

    But I like what he's saying. Thanks for the info Jonathan.

    Don't worry about it. Though I get sick to my stomach even seeing his name in print, at least here is a statement from the cheese king himself, completely dismissing all of the bullshit rumors. Regardless of the source, it needed to be said. And now the next person to start a C********e thread will be doing so with the full knowledge that he has no place on a Van Halen board. So, in a weird sort of way, you allowed the cheesemaster to provide a valuable public service to all of us

    Hey, does this mean Cover-rection WON'T be the new singer for VH?

    If not, I am seriously pissed.

    (Thanks, Jonathan. LOL.)

    Man this just ain't right. I had always dug, and wished that C******* WAS seriously gonna be the new singer. I mean just because VH SAID he was never a consideration way back months ago, I still kept the faith. Now if I could only get my hands on that demo that is floating around. LOL. Out.

    I think that David Coverdale is a great singer Eddie! My first post at the Links was about Coverdale too.
    I don't understand anyone not liking him. I think that he is really talented! And I really don't care what they think because I don't share their opinion.

    I think the problem most people have with this guy is that the band Whitesnake pretty much represented everything Van Halen with Dave didn't. Shit-wannabe-hairbands like Whitesnake(and many others) were just poor imitations of REAL rock bands like VH and Led Zepplin. It's not David Coverdale, it's what he represents. VH fans of my age (late twenties, early thirties) tend to find the idea of this person infiltrating VH particularly offensive.

    Interesting that in 1993, Edward was having a Schlitz Malt Liquor at tea-time...

    David Coverdale is an accomplished singer/songwriter/lyricist who could make a fine complement to Van Halen, both in his depth of lyrics and vocal range. He is a true musician and certainly one of the greats in the pantheon of frontmen in rock-n-roll.

    I certainly hope that if Diamond Dave and Edward fail to make a go of it, that David Coverdale steps in to resurrect the terminal Van Halen, as only he has the swagger, attitude, skills, talent, and presence to even rival the same in Diamond Dave.

    Sorry FORD, I forgot to take my medication! I'm going to the pharmacy now for a refill....

    out.
