Is Van Halen the most disfunctional band of all time?
Just wondering if there are any other hardcore Van Halen fans on this board. If so, are you in agreement that they are the most disfunctional group in the history of rock? I mean, my GOD, get your crap together, Van Halen!!! We're tired of the letdowns!!!

Jesus. I just read the wikipedia article on Mayhem. Yeah, they are way more dysfunctional than Van Halen.

Mayhem says they're "black metal," not "death metal.
Take that!
(I really don't understand what the difference is)

But, they actually make albums and play gigs... Van Halen teases fans with reunions and awesomeness and then falls apart.majormajormajormajor wrote:VH is pretty disfunctional, but Metallica? I mean Lars Ulrich is always pissed at Kirk Hammett, and James Hetfield just gets drunk and stoned and comes in to practice that way.

The problem can be traced entirely to the fact that Eddie Van Halen is totally batshit insane. Brilliant on the axe, but his mind was screwed up long before he got cancer. You should've heard him on Howard Stern talking about how he has a natural cancer cure that cured him and could save millions of lives, but big business didn't want the world to know about it. Also, his son can really play too. Alex got all the sanity genes in that family.

Call me a tool for saying this, but there was a recent interview in Rolling Stone with David Lee Roth talking about a possible reunion tour. He sounded positive and even enthusiastic about it and said that it would probably also result in a new album, but also stated that he wanted nothing to do with Sammy Hagar or Michael Anthony. In fact, those two accepted Van Halen's induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alone, without any of the Van Halen family present at all. Bastards.

Pshaw.. Burzum beats out Mayhem for complete f**dupness any day.

Are you calling Hagar and Michael Anthony bastards for accepting the nomination without Eddie, Alex, and Dave? I hope not.laszlow wrote:Call me a tool for saying this, but there was a recent interview in Rolling Stone with David Lee Roth talking about a possible reunion tour.

I don't blame them at all for going. They earned it. Dave could've been there, but the HoF folks told him he couldn't perform without the rest of the band. So, the egotistical tool boycotted the biggest honor in rock music.
Eddie can't get his crap together, which is sad. He's disappointed fans over and over and over again. Alex is just along for the ride.
Anyway, I don't blame Michael and Sammy at all for going. At least someone in the band has enough stability to SHOW UP.
