All person has to say is "no comment" or simply not respond to the question. Having some class never goes out of style.A bit of an overreaction, but leave it to David Crosby to start a firestorm:

Given this and some other things he's said this year, I think his mind is going.All person has to say is "no comment" or simply not respond to the question. Having some class never goes out of style.
I haven’t stopped listening to VH either. Really listening to Eddie daily has me appreciating him more than ever.2 weeks later, still listen to the XM Tribute Channel every time I'm in the car and on my morning bike rides...loving it, especially the guest DJs telling EVH stories or giving song insights.
Yeah me too. And one cool thing has been my discovery of their 2012 album. I hadn't listened to it at all and its pretty damn good. I mean DLR's voice is mush, but Eddie's playing could be from 1978 it sounds so good.2 weeks later, still listen to the XM Tribute Channel every time I'm in the car and on my morning bike rides...loving it, especially the guest DJs telling EVH stories or giving song insights.
I think it's the fact that Gregg is dead that makes it most surprising.That he's on social media or that he remembered him?

Yeah every morning driving kids to school I’ve popped that on.XM 27...but tuned in this morning, and it’s over.
Agree on the DLR songs. I would have loved to see what a Steve Perry/EVH collaboration on new music would have sounded like though.Steve Perry of Journey fame mentioned today that after Dave left and before Sammy was in the picture that EVH gave Perry an open invitation to come in to sing and play. Apparently they had a lot of mutual admiration for each other. According to Perry, he gave it some thought and ultimately decided he wouldn’t be the right singer to replace DLR (in addition to not being the right voice to sing Dave songs). So he never followed through. I have a hard time envisioning his voice singing on Dave songs, just like I can’t picture him singing 5150 songs.
Neil Schon might be a step down from EVH, but a much smaller step down than people might realize. I think "Van Perry" -- still with Michael Anthony's harmonies and EVH's keys replacing Jonathan Cain's -- would've sounded A LOT like early-80s Journey just with a different style of guitar work. And Alex Van Halen was usually a more "out front" drummer than Steve Smith.Agree on the DLR songs.

Noooooooo! Time for Spotify and Alexa to take over.XM 27...but tuned in this morning, and it’s over.
Eddie had also reached out to Daryl Hall and Patty Smyth. Maybe others too.Steve Perry of Journey fame mentioned today that after Dave left and before Sammy was in the picture that EVH gave Perry an open invitation to come in to sing and play.

Very moving.Skipdog77 said:Wolfgang Van Halen's debut single, released in honor of his Dad. Great tune, nice work by the young man. Played all the instruments and sang himself. I dig his vocals.

p.s. keep some tissues handy.

I was wondering how she was going to handle the tap-on section and it ended up being the best part.Considering he named his son Wolfgang, I'd like to think Eddie would have approved of this.

Yngwie and Steve Vai just dropped their guitars and walked away.Holy F that gave me goosebumps
Thought this was the best place to post this. I am rediscovering my record collection and put on Van Halen's first album yesterday. I was looking at the album cover and under "Special Thanks" on the back I see Gene Simmons!!
So, I Google and see that Gene says he discovered VH, signed them to a deal with his production company and produced a bunch of demo tracks with them in 1976 that have never been released. I also saw that Gene recruited Eddie and Alex to play on a "Christine Sixteen" demo and some other songs he was working on. Ace Frehley wasn't thrilled to have to recreate some of Eddie's guitar work.
if this was common knowledge, it was news to me. I am used to Simmons' huge ego and hearing him blathering on about all of his accomplishments. But, I wasn't aware of this one.
I’m 100% with you on this one especially for the quotes section.if this was common knowledge, it was news to me. I am used to Simmons' huge ego and hearing him blathering on about all of his accomplishments. But, I wasn't aware of this one.
Isn’t the rest of the story that the rest of KISS basically told Gene to drop the producing and focus on the band?if this was common knowledge, it was news to me. I am used to Simmons' huge ego and hearing him blathering on about all of his accomplishments. But, I wasn't aware of this one.
I also saw an article where DLR said he thought Gene was trying to recruit Eddie for KISS back around the time of the demos, but he put an end to it.The demo tracks from '76 are readily available if you google. Some of them were reworked for A Different Kind of Truth.
Also, DLR was just dropped as Kiss's opening act and Gene said some messed up things about Dave being washed up. DLR gave Gene the finger 18 times and Gene apologized, said he was taken out of context. So mini-feud 45 years later lol.
That could be. I didn't see that in my Googling.Isn’t the rest of the story that the rest of KISS basically told Gene to drop the producing and focus on the band?
