No video of Jackson hanging that poor infant over a hotel ledge or him lip-syncing at the Super Bowl? Somewhat disappointing.
By the way, I've noticed something about O'Neal and James after watching all of their videos together at the All-Star games. O'Neal's humor is totally natural. That is just one naturally funny guy. Besides, I've always been a fan of anybody with sarcastic deadpan dry humor. James, on the other hand, is totally forced. He is just not a naturally funny guy. Whenever I see James trying to be funny, he reminds me of Sarah Palin trying to be funny that one night when she appeared on "Saturday Night Live." On one hand you admire the effort, on the other hand you wish somebody with authority would whisper in their ear to never ever do that again.
wow, slash really butchered eddie van halen's solo in Beat It. I guess sometimes a tophat just doesn't cut it.
i saw eddie butcher an entire van hagar show in bozeman a few years ago. the guy was drunker than s— and played a 20 minute "solo" which consisted of eddie laying on the stage hitting the strings to make noise and smoking cigarettes.
I thought Van Halen claimed he's been "clean and sober." Was that guy actually smoking after he got cancer?
it's "one day at a time" for eddie.
and yes, he was smoking after cancer. the reason the van hagar reunion fell apart was because of eddie's drinking. he was embarrassing at the show i attended. he interrupted sammy's "woo hoo roll and rock party time" banter to argue about whether it was "our party" or "their party" to which van halen was invited. seriously. if it wasn't for michael anthony's extra duty of peacekeeper sammy would be in jail for murder.
Who wanted a Van Hagar reunion? Certainly not I.
Hey, anybody notice that Jesse Jackson has gotten involved in this Michael Jackson thing? Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Pat are the world's biggest opportunists.
Uhh … Oh-oh. Did I just say that out loud? Uhh … Pat Paulsen. Yes. that's it. I didn't get to finish my sentence. Pat Paulsen.
van hagar made more money than van halen. that's why they reunited. and i know that this isn't a popular opinion but……sammy is ten times the front man that dave is.
It's neither a popular opinion nor a correct opinion.
And yes, again, I reiterate, I was speaking of opportunist Pat Paulsen.

alan, "diamond dave" from the early 80's died. the guy named david lee roth that survived was a broke, bald guy with a shot voice getting busted for buying dime bags in central park.
I realize that, terje. But it's 2009, and no man in his 50s should be wiggling his ass. There should be a law. And Hagar is now 80. The man walks up on stage wearing a colostomy bag.
Anyway, I didn't see the new Van Halen minus the Polish bass player tour last year, but from what I hear, Roth did a yeoman's job.
I didn't watch that first lip-syncing performance until just this morning. All I have to say after watching it is this:
TITO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
terje, I too fall on the hagar side in the dlr/sammy debate. at that spectacle of a concert in which dlr and sammy went out touring together, dlr was clearly done for. he croaked out a few songs in a hoarse voice and was nowhere close to hitting any high notes without some pro-tools enhancement. And I agree, when I saw the hagar/vh reunion a few year's back, it was apparent eddie was inebriated beyond coherency, as he stupidly grinned and forgot to play during entire verses of "unchained." however, prior to the near-complete deterioration of his cerebellum through prolonged drinking, eddie actually wrote some of his best music when drunk–who else would have even thought to use the whammy, harmonics, and finger-tapping like that?
) :
I really don't care one way or another that Jackson died (Freddie Mercury, he wasn't), but would it be in poor taste to say that I'm kinda glad Billy Mays died? At long last, that guy won't be screaming at me anymore.
And anybody who claims Van Hagar was better than Van Halen is burrowing face-first in Eddie's liquor cabinet like a parched beaver.
