Re: Was Alex Van Halen the best "ever"?

[Jeff Neberwall]

What was Alex Van Halen the best ever at?

Sucking cock?
Giving deep tissue massages to his lovely brother?
Using his drumstick for self-anal-pleasure?
Giving the worst EVER excuse for cancelling a European tour?
At telling his lil bro what to do?
At making Sammy Hagar NOT look so ugly?
At giving the worst ever interview?
At giving idle threats - "If you ever say one more thing about my
family, then I'll kick your ****in' ass."
At giving false predictions - "VH3 will go platinum."

Just what the **** is this scumbag good at?

"A true ambassador of rock" - ROTFL!

Like Sammy said - Al just sits at home all day on the internet and
smokes cigarettes! LOL at the paraplegic!

Oh, forget these other Alex VH 'gems':

"We had a toothache for 11 years and we had it removed and replaced with
a gold cap."

"We used to be a Volkswagen and now we're a Porsche."

"Tonight...is...about...me...man...not...your...fuc kin...hip?" - (We
heard Ed tell his lie right the first time, no need for you to
overdramatize it, dickhead)

[Chris T. Young]

Although I'm a long time VH fan, I have to agree with Jeff somewhat. I
pretty much saw Alex as the Yoko Ono of Van Halen. He seemed more about
keeping **** stirred up in Eddie's mind than being remotely like a so called
"Ambassador of Rock". Now "**** Stirrer of Rock" might be a more appropriate
title.
After hearing many fine drummers of that era, I would hardly call AVH a
"Legend" or even influential. He was truly mediocre rock and roll drummer at
best.
It's too bad Ed could never do much without Alex. It was like he was a "boat
anchor" around EVH's neck.
I mean come on, If the guitar player in the band was not "King" Edward Van
Halen do you think anyone would know who the **** Alex was???

Jeff,
If this is your real name, why don't you just say what it is that you don't
like about his playing instead of turning this into some pathetic gay bashing
bull****? Even is Alex was gay, who the **** cares? You are just another ****.
Post your real name and E mail if you are going to talk ****.
