50 Date Van Halen Tour (Page 1 of 2)

Roy, more cocktail banter, Jimmy Page was brought in to play the lead fill on Can't Explain by The Who because the producer thought Pete wasn't polished enough. I've heard some debate on whether the finished take is Jimmy or Pete.

I've heard he's done with rehab and lookin' much healthier, now a trip to the dentist to replace whats left of his choppers and he just might be ready this time.

lack of press & media for a spell hurt EVH? I think he's a musical wizard - playing piano & guitar. Not many guitar players can do a lick on a guitar and play the same thing on a piano.

Hmmm

the odd problem:

Yikes that was painful.....

Hehehe here is what Uncle Ted had to say about Porky.....

“Yes, and you know what, Martin, I don’t know how you can convey this in your article. I’m sure you will do it with some sincerity and aplomb, but I watched the VAN HALEN press conference on the Internet. And I just have nothing but glowing admiration for Alex, just a superlative virtuoso, and Eddie, maybe one of the top two or three musical geniuses who ever lived, and David is just the quintessential showman, clever guy, great vocalist, true soulful rocker. But there’s Eddie’s son - is he only like… what, 17?! And he’s got blubber?! The kid is fat. And I’ll tell you why. The same abandonment - which is the number one crime against your soul - the abandonment of discipline that allows Eddie to rationalize smoking cigarettes, or all those years of the drugs and the alcohol. It’s the same abandonment of parental discipline that allows his own child to become unhealthy and blubberous. And I find that just damnable. If I was his dad, I would put that motherf..... on a treadmill and I would watch what Mr. Hand is bringing up to Mr. Fat Face.”

And when you see it in the schools, starting at five or six years old, those kids are going to battling that weight for the rest of their lives.

“Oh, for god sakes! And it’s about discipline. Now, you check out my four children. Fu...... decathlon masters. Firm, athletic, muscular, bright. They have good posture. They stand up straight. They carry themselves with dignity. And you know, if this offends anybody, f you! If you’re offended by my words, that would be guilt. Look in the mirror and get the f going and upgrade. I’m 59 and I still stand erect - come on! I’m in the airport every day and some of the f...... beached sperm whales I see walking around, it’s an embarrassment. It’s like saying, ‘Hey God, thanks for the gift of life. I think I’ll poison it.’ I find it just delirious.”

65% of people in North America are now overweight, and half of those are classed as obese.

“Dear God! Dear God in heaven! Inexcusable! And by the way, nobody likes to eat more than I do (laughs). I can eat a f......’ palette of chocolate cake and stuff like that. But I don’t! Because I give a s....! Instead I’m eating organic raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, and peaches from Oregon right now. That’s my meal today. I had some fresh halibut earlier today, but at the restaurant, ‘Would you like dessert?’ I go, ‘No, I’m going to be eating strawberries later.’ ‘Well, we’ve got some great chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate cake.’ I went, ‘That’s great. Give it to that fat f..... over there.’ I’m telling you, Martin, people who are offended by me are guilty.”

And now it’s not just chocolate cake anymore. It’s got brand name on it – it’s a Cadbury or Snickers chocolate cake to move it even closer to a chocolate bar!

“It’s still bad for you. And I mean, I had one of those little bite-size Three Musketeers yesterday. There’s nothing wrong about that. But kind of think intelligent. Spirit management. I’m deep into spirit management, baby. You may have noticed that about me.”
