Fwiw, Ed was probably referring to a hundred years ago in the early days of VH.

You know how when we get older things that happened 30yrs ago or so seem like just last week
 
And I quote:

"Gary's a brother. He's in this band for life".
- Eddie Van Halen.

Fixed it for ya. :D
 
Ten years from now when Ed kicks Al out of the band it will be the same story. Ed had to show Al what to play, cause you know Ed started out on drums.
 
yea and sayin that randy took everything he could is also a pile of horseshit
not once have i heard ed double or triple track a solo
use diminished scales
use melodic minor/harmonic minor scales and or play modes diatonically......
at best randy copped some 2 hand tapping which shows up in ...what 2 small parts of 2 solos?
smh
 
Eddie gets a genius pass........total game changing innovator :rock:

Can he be an asshole & does he have issues? Absolutely........but so does the dude with no talent who works at your local supermarket :lol: :LOL:

Meh, I quit giving 'creative geniuses' passes long ago. F 'em. An ass is an ass.

I listen to their old stuff but EVH hasn't done anything interesting guitarwise in 20 years.
 
Yeah, Ed has been so fucked up at times in his life he doesn't know what the hell he was doing :lol: :LOL:
BTW, his amp was modded. He lied or forgot what Jose did to it. Ed forgets allot of things and what he remembers is distorted. He has perception issues.
 
I cant give VH a pass. I didn't know about the RR comments. Total dickhead thing to say about someone who died at such a young age. VH had only been around for about 5 years at the time. I believe RR would have continued to get better as a player and musician. He wasn't a substance abuser as far as I know. VH on the other hand came up with some innovative techniques early on but once the money and praise started rolling in rested on his laurels. A true genius would continue to raise the bar. Instead when other players came along that challenged Van Halens "genius" he took the easy way out by accusing them of copying him.
 
I think maybe Ed was talking about this quote and kind of had it twisted

You didn't go through an imitation/innovation stage? Most people start with imitation.
To be honest, I wish I could agree with you. Even now, everything happens so fast in this band that I haven't had enough time to really think what I want to do. For instance, I do a solo live, and I do a lot of these things that Eddie Van Halen does, and it kills me that I do that. It's just flash, and it impresses the kids, and I'm trying to make a name as fast as I can. I wish I could take time and come up with something that nobody has done. But unfortunately, it will take me a few years.
 
I know Eddie can be a dick as can be his brother but respect to Hagar and this cat -- VH with MA was together for a long time BEFORE they were in the band so how do they know everything?

Way back in the beginning it would have been a home movie Super 8mm camera, there were no home use video cameras back in 1978...
 
Let's start a poll, who are the bigger dicks, the VH brothers or Paul and Gene from Kiss ??? VH brothers get my vote

I wouldn't go that far. Paul and Gene set the asshole bar up near the stratosphere.
 
Yeah Simmons takes the lead for the sheer amount of crap he has spilled..
