Rock Star: Van Halen

I heard last week that next seasons Rock Star: will be Van Halen :eek:! To me I think that is terrible. Their people that try out on those shows are kids. Van Halens target audience is a bit older and a lot pickier. Remember Gary Cherone and his one and only album with Van Halen. What they should do is patch things up with Diamond Dave. That would be a huge show if they were to bring back David Lee Roth. what do you guys think about all of this?

This is my 300th post. I am hearing bells and whistels also seeing confetti falling from the sky lol. :D :beer:

Grat's on the 300th post Bassi. I think Van Halen is all washed up. The last good album they did was 5150. Everything after that has been just plain awful. It makes total sense they would be on Rock Star. I hang my head in shame at Eddie VanHalen and his massive ego.

I'm a huge Van Halen fan... and I also happen to be a huge Sammy fan, I think that if true, it is a horrible idea.

I have no interest in seeing DLR on stage... it would be like watching the rolling stones and waiting for the geritol and centrum silver billboards to start appearing. The last time I saw DLR he looked like dead man walking.

I liked Gary Cherone (I liked Exxtreme), but that album left alot to be desired to say the least. There were a couple of songs that were OK though.

Time to retire VH.

After DLR left, Van Halen ceased to exist. They put together a couple of passable albums with Hagar, but they weren't what I consider to be Van Halen.

If it wasn't for DLR, Van Halen would've progressed towards the putrid use of synths much sooner than they did. VH was at its best (not most lucrative, mind you) as a guitar band.

Damn, and I was hoping for RockStar: GWAR!

I just hope that don't pull an INXS and hire a failed Canadian Elvis impersonator to front the band.

The problem with the last show was the constant, "I know you guys lost someone," and, "This song is about losing someone... which I know you guys understand." Jeez Louise, get over it.

RockStar:Metallica would have been a cool way to find their new bassist.

Maybe next year we could go super-cheesy: Rockstar:Winger or Rockstar:Stryper. W00T!

Are you kidding, Metallica has one of the best Bassist's out there now. It's just a shame his real talents are not being put to good use. Slap metal funk bass isn't exactly an easy thing to pull off.

On another note, this guy is outside my office right now, working on the office plants. He's been at it for a half hour and it sounds like someone is picking herbs in WoW. Imagine that herb picking sound for 1/2 hour straight.

Rock Star: Metallica would be so funny. They are a band that needs to give it up. Lars ruined that band. Rob is such an awesome bassist I could not believe he joined Metallica until I heard what he got for joining the band. Full royalties from all Metallica albums past and present, a very large signing bonus. I think it was mainly about the money more than anything else.

Rock Star: GWAR would rock. I can imagine how that would look. It would probably be the best Rock Star: show ever.

I remember watching Kiss's biography on VH1 and listening to Gene Simmons say it IS all about the money, and quite frankly I agree with that...
All this garbage "It's all about the music man!!". No, it's about the money, and there is nothing wrong with that...
Granted, I think Gene is in need of some serious help with his ego, but the fact remains that money is what pays the bills....

I think that Gene is one of the most honest people in the business. He has told it like it is even if he does have the biggest ego of them all. I guess I should not be surprised with Van Halen doing the Rock Star show. I guess Valerie Bertinelli asked for more money in alamony and child support.
