>>127989400>didnt post your usual pizza man quotecool a meme thread
It got revealed a few months ago that Alex isn't even on this album at all. People knew that Ed played some of the drums but no, apparently it's him on everything
>>127989400>>127989460This album should have happened a decade and a half earlier and as an EVH solo project, it was obvious he was way too coked out, paranoid, and unpleasant to work with to create a mostly self-directed album long before 1998. It has a lot of potential but it’s half assed and very obvious Eddie needed to move on.
>>127989400A WORD TOTHE WISDOM TOOTHOPEN UPAND SAY AMEN
>>127989560Odd how he was a booze and coke-fuelled mess during the writing and recording of VH3 but then somehow managed to keep it together on the tour, where he was in great form.Guess he hadn't descended into meth addict territory like he had by the time of the Hagar reunion.
>>127989690I think the cancer is what really fucked him up in between those two tours. I think he was cured around 02-03 but going through that on top of pushing away almost everyone in his life made him lose it. I’m legitimately surprised he didn’t overdose or kill himself.
Van Halen 3 [Warner Bros., 1998] *dud*
>>127989460>>127989560michael plays on some tracks, but yeah, it's mostly all ed. ed isn't a terrible drummer, he's no alex, but he's not bad for someone who's main instrument isn't the drum kiti think the biggest issue that people overlook is ed was introduced to DAW's around this time, which is why the tracks are frankenstein'd 5-10 minute monsters>>127989690>Guess he hadn't descended into meth addict territoryi think he was just a crazy coke head and drunk during the tour, even hagar never shit talked ed and revealed he was doing anything incredibly hard. then again, ed had some really weird eccentricities, he was doing some weird experimental cancer treatment in europe for a bulk of the early 00s
>>127989400Nothing wrong with this track
>>127989460>Eddie hired Mike Post to tell Alex in person that Eddie wanted to play the drum over himkek
>>127989741cope. even those close to EVH say he was doing more coke during vh3 than he ever did during the 80s
This album is overhated, sure it isnt perfect but its got some good shit on it
preferable to most 90's rock radio. know what i mean. aged fine. good for what it is - keep the cocaine lore
Wolfie could bring them back if he wanted.
album's really dogshit and also painfully long but Without You has some nice chorus and some insane Eddie's lines despite being aimless at times
>>127989400>YOU GOT A MINDFUL OF DECAVITIESthe fuck is that supposed to mean
hahah yes I too watch todd in the shadows :D
>>127989400The cover looks like one of those memes. Like instead of "van Halen iii" they put trump on there and "illegals" over the fat guy
>>127989690the 98 tour was shockiingly good, especially considering how VH III was an absolute trainwreck.With the right producer, say Glen Ballard (who produced Me Wise Magic) the album could've been great but Mike Post? I mean the Hill Street Blues theme is great and all but how much coke was Eddie doing to think that was a good idea?
