Amen.

I just did a little checking on youtube, and ya Eddie was a real dick.

The thing is, I don't think the Red Rocker joined Van Halen outta need. It wasn't an upward move. He was already successful and famous as hell.

With that, it's time for a break with Hagar and his trusty Waboritas:


Amen.

it doesn't look like a young Edward Van Halen.

Quote from: Reggie Essent on January 02, 2025, 09:52:49 PMHmmm, I'd have to do a re-listen and I'm far too lazy for that.  I do know that Eddie was hard to work with according to most. Even his wife left him because he was a jagoff.

From their first album with Roth to 5150, it hardly seemed like the same band anymore.

When AC/DC changed vocalists they maintained their musical style. That was not the case with Van Halen.

He presided at the second wedding of his brother Eddie Van Halen in 2009 and the second wedding of Valerie Bertinelli, who is now his ex-sister-in-law, in 2011.

I don't know which denomination.
