ain't talkin' 'bout love

i'll always love eddie van halen's music and i'll always respect what he's done for the guitar, but personally i find the man himself to be cretinous. on the eve of their big reunion tour w/ diamond dave (bibbidy bop!), van halen have, inexplicably, decided to delete ex-bassist michael anthony from their history. why? when it comes to van halen, who the fuck knows why? evh has been fucked out of his skull for years, his brother is apparently the biggest sycophant in rock history, and i'm sure roth is aware he had better keep his yap shut lest he loses out on the millions this tour will no doubt rake in. as others on blabbermouth have said, this is a trainwreck and where it stops, how gruesome it'll get, and how many will go down in flames is yet to be determined. but rest assured it will happen. i'd like to think evh is digging his grave w/ this kind of sociopathic behavior, but methinks the hordes of middle-aged, acid-washed rockers will be too drenched in their jager-soaked nostalgia to vote w/ their feet on this one.
