So, let me get this straight...

According to EVH (on the Stern show)...Van Halen now consists of himself, Alex, and his son Wolfgang?


Um, yeah...okay Eddie. Whatever you say. Good luck on that.

In case people didn't see this on the front page...

EDDIE VAN HALEN SPEAKS TO HOWARD STERN:
A busy weekend as far as rock n roll news. The biggest news I guess is a rare radio appearance by Eddie Van Halen, phoning into the Howard Stern show to update listeners on everything Eddie.
I haven't heard the interview myself, but if I get audio of it, I'll post here. The champs at VHLinks.com have a detailed conversation thread going about the interview here: www.vhlinks.com/vbforums/showthread.php?t=33732.
It seems Ed was his usual entertaining self on the phone - his comments definitely giving fans an indication on where Van Halen goes from here (if anywhere). Highlights of the interview incude:
- Eddie calling Sammy and Mike's Other Half a 'cover band'.
- Stating that Van Halen is now himself, Alex and son Wolfgang. Anthony can 'do whatever he wants...'
- Stating that he was open to working / touring with David Lee Roth but any involvement with Michael Anthony seems all but impossible.
- Talked about his music in the adult film calling it a 'struggle between good and evil'.
- Smoking didn't cause him cancer, it was the use of metal picks, which he always had in his mouth.
- Next release will be a solo album or project with Alex and Wolfgang.
- Called Hagar 'Little Red Rocker' and 'Little Red Worm') and Michael Anthony 'Hot Sauce Sobileski'.
- Also talked of investing in a cancer center (something management told me in 2004...a substantial amount of money from all reports).

I like how Eddie always resorts to calling people names...like a second grader out on the playground. Really classy.


If he'd pull his head out of his ass, he might realize that Sammy is probably the best friend he ever had. I think he's just jealous that Sammy and Mike don't need him. On the other hand...without Sammy (and Mike), Eddie is making porno soundtracks.

Yeah, and smoking like a chimney didn't give him cancer. Sucking on metal guitar picks did.

It is really hard watching the downward spiral and self destruction of one of the greatest guitar players ever.
It's even shittier feeling that his brother, son and anyone else left close to him are just standing back and watching it happen. Sounds like he has the same friends as Jani Lane. Someone really needs to get this guy some help before the rock world loses another icon...

It's hard to help people who don't want your help.

You cannot help anyone that doesn't want it, believe me... I know this from personal experience.

His family is watching, yes, but they're completely helpless. And its killing them.

It is so sad. Hopefully one day he'll want the help...but until that happens, there's nothing that anyone can do.

Very sad

Unbelievable. Eddie is such a dick. I'm surprised Studio City hasn't ruled a zoning ordinance for his ego — at the very least, it should reside upon its own hill in Hollywood.

So much for another original VH album. Even if Ed says he's going to do a solo record...I'll believe it when I see it sitting in the bin.

Zake W. is right he has lost it..............what a bummer

I'd buy it.

I have to agree with the guy who called in at the end.

When did Eddie VanHalen lose his mind?

Only believe what is confirmed as actually said, confirmed, denied, etc. by EVH. If you're too quick to judge you might be mistaken! (I hope!)
