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.

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 didn't watch that first lip-syncing performance until just this morning. All I have to say after watching it is this:

TITO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

And yes, again, I reiterate, I was speaking of opportunist Pat Paulsen.

It's neither a popular opinion nor a correct opinion.

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.

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.
