VOODOO (2375) | LOL! Eddie Van Halen Responds to Michael Anthony Backlash with an Ultimatum Eddie Van Halen is pissed. REAL pissed. Just days after Billboard magazine published an interview in which the guitarist commented on the lack of talent of his long time bassist Michael Anthony. “I’ve had it with the Van Halen fans. If they don’t shut their fuckin’ mouths. I’ll have Gary Cherone fronting this god damned band again. Then you’ll have something to bitch about.” “Every note Mike ever played, I had to show him how to play,” Van Halen claims. “Before we’d go on tour, he’d come over with a video camera and I’d have to show him how to play all the parts.” ~E Van Halen When the news hit the web of Van Halen’s criticisms, it sent fans into a frenzy of haters and Eddie Van Halen bashing. “So I say one thing about Mikey and everyone loses their minds!” Said the 60 year old guitarist as he chain smokes Marlboros. “I’ve had it with the Van Halen fans. If they don’t shut their fuckin’ mouths. I’ll have Gary Cherone fronting this god damned band again. Then you’ll have something to bitch about.” Eddie did tell Grohl “I tell you what Dave Grohl. I played all the bass on the last album. You can play it on the next album. OK? Will that get you off my back? “I tell you what Dave Grohl. I played all the bass on the last album. You can play it on the next album. OK? Will that get you off my back? Roth has declined to comment. Dave Grohl was on the phone with Rolling Stone Magazine. Gary Charone is about to quit his day job.

VOODOO (2375) | https://nomoredavegrohl.wordpress.com/2015/06/22/edward-van-halen-fired-from-van-halen/ Edward Van Halen FIRED from VAN HALEN! Monday, June 22, 2015 Burbank, CA – This has been one crazy week in the Van Halen camp. First guitar god Eddie Van Halen, gives a scathing interview to Billboard Magazine, about the lack of talent and work ethic of the past and current members of Van Halen. “Sand in his vagina” The backlash was swift and fiery as fans of the band came to the defense of long time bassist Michael Anthony. Anthony, known for his bong rattling bass and easy going demeanor, remained silent. But former Van Halen front man and singer, Sammy Hagar came back swinging with allegations that Eddie was a liar. In an effort to minimize the damage to the Van Halen brand, Warner Brothers Records President Al McHumphry, released the following statement. While we will miss Edward and his contribution to the success of Van Halen. We find his attitude “piss poor” and we have verifiable evidence of “sand in his vagina.” This has made him a liability to the band. The Van Halen will be replacing Edward with adequate blues guitarist George Thorogood. And bassist Wolfgang Van Halen will be replaced with original bassist Michael Anthony. Alex Van Halen will remain with the group, as will current singer David Lee Roth. We hope you will understand that douche-baggery will not be tolerated. We took it for granted that Roth was lying when he was fired. When Hagar left due to similar circumstances, we assumed it was a clash of egos. Michael Anthony is relatively harmless. We have narrowed it down to Edward who is the prick. So we have let him go. Sincerely In a statement to CNN, Roth commented on the situation. “I was telling Alex….Alex man! Do you like that song Bad to the Bone? Yeah… I do too. So I made a few calls and finally reached George on his break. I said…. GT you can quit the job at the Joan’s Wholesale Mattress Factory Outlet and come gig with the Van Halen! He’s showin’ Mikey how to play Bad to the Bone right now. VOODOOQuote |

mrmojohalen (6467) | “After being booted by dad from the band, Wolfgang takes a chainsaw to all of Ed’s guitars, including the original red Franky. All 5150 recordings are set ablaze as Ed walks in. ‘Why he asks. Wolf replies “You are not my father, Sammy is ! ” ‘ When you turn on your stereo, does it return the favor? mrmojohalenQuote |

jroundy (1418) | When I first starting reading this…. I thought it might be real, and then quickly realized it was a joke. The Gary part was the key. The poor folks play for keeps down here…They’re the living dead. Nobody rules these streets at night like Van Halen!! jroundyQuote |

mrmojohalen (6467) | I heard on the radio yesterday that this story about Ed getting kicked out of VH is apparently not true. When you turn on your stereo, does it return the favor? mrmojohalenQuote |
