Van Halen is one of the last great rock bands, that had a huge impact on my life, during my youth, way back in the 70's. Eddie's explosive guitar virtuosity & Dave's bad a** attitude & showmanship, as well as their great classic rock albums, especially the first 6, is what it's all about. I saw VH live at the old Charlotte Coliseum(still there, new name) on 2/1/84 with Autograph as the openig act, which I will never forget. It was one of the coldest days of the year, with my fingers getting numb holding my ticket, but they rocked out giving the fans a ballsy, blistering show. I think Sammy Hagar did a great job as frontman, even though he's no David Lee Roth & For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge is my favorite album from that era. I don't think there's going to be a reunion of the original Van Halen anytime soon, especially after the 96 debacle, but some fans do sadly. I do expect Eddie Van Halen to release his first official solo album before he's 60 & as far as I'm concerned VH is history with only the memories.
I want you, I want you so bad babe. I want you, I want you so bad. It's driving me mad, it's driving me mad.
Eddie's out of his mind now. One of the crew members on their last debacle of a tour said Eddie will be dead in 5 years. He's writing music for porn movies now. Sammy and Michael Anthony won't have anything to do with him. He's back on the Bottle which is why Valerie said Adios.
he's writing music for porn music?! its a shame he wasted his last years though, he was such a guitarist in his time, but he pretty much lost it and became an a**, and in 1993 he got drunk and started being racist to nirvana member Pat Smear. hasnt he got some kind of condition/ilness or something?
yeah he's been writing music for a friend, who's a "B movie" director or something...but VH music was kinda "dirty" anyways...their music is great, from any era...EVH has made many public appereances recently, and some are even saying that he's on talking terms with DLR, and supposedly VH is thanked is Hagar's new solo album...I think he's probably the greatest guitarist in my book, and he'll be back in full form...

I'm not expecting a Van Halen reunion anytime soon after the last tour, but I expect Eddie to release his first official solo album before he's 60. Him doing some music for a porn movie is cool in a way & the rock & roll of VH was kind of dirty. I agree.

Like so many other bands they fit the time they played in. David Lee Roth "Showman" Rock Sexy like "Plant " in his prime! Loud thunderous rock songs that shook the rafters of the buildings they played in! Unfortunatley Van Halen took a dip and became more grown up with the arrival of Sammy Hagger. We will not even go there with the guy from Extreme? They broke the mold when D.L.R. departed on bad terms! I heard Eddie was getting a hip replaced oh how the mighty have fallen.

Eddie had his hip replacement operation a few years ago & his cancer of the tongue is gone I have heard, so he seems to be doing alright these days apple sauce. I'm not expecting a reunion of the original Van Halen anytime soon, but old fans like myself have the memories & their timeless rock classics.
