He is very versatile. >>Take a listen to III Sides To Every Story or Waiting For The Punchline. >>The last song on III Sides is a 20 minute magnum opus! And Punchline is >>a much more gritty album. Let us know what you all think. >Goody goody... I'm glad Gary's voice is so flexible. I'm not doubting >that... all I'm saying is that Van Halen doesn't need this kind of singer! >They need someone with a rock n' roll voice and attitude... ala DLR, or >even Sammy... probably others, but not Cherone! I'm not trying to start another "who's the best singer for VH issue"... I'm just saying that I believe Gary DOES have that "rock n" roll" voice! That is why I pulled out my Extreme CD, I wanted to listen to it closely. I wanted to hear what it was that VH heard and liked about Gary. Hey, to be honest, I was one of those people who thought Cherone was a mistake...It was either Dave or Sammy. As far as attitude...we'll have to wait and see...

Even Mikey hated Dave's guts, or was uncomfortable, it's not like he had many other options. If he complained, Ed would fire him in a second.

That's why I'm eating it."...Let's all just welcome Gary and not tell him to get the funk out...Just a die-hard Roth/VH fan that's all...MWM & CGTSNM are two killer tunes though...This this time I must thank my S.O.A. for supplying me with the 2nd tune...Thank you! :)... ------------------------------ From: Bill Leonard Date: Mon, 14 Oct 1996 15:47:28 -0400 Subject: Re: Vh to do 2hour radio special >Just heard on 97.7 in St. Catharines/toronto, Ontario that Vh will do >a 2hr radio special on Wednesday at 9pm.

How about if Val or Wolfie sign it? :) Gord ------------------------------ From: "Andrew Neal" Date: Mon, 14 Oct 1996 14:39:32 -0700 Subject: GH on the radio PLUS interviews Jumped in my truck this afternoon, fired up my stereo and what did I here? "Me Wise Magic" blasting out my speakers! Fired me up so much that I stalled my truck! Anyway, the DJ said this Sunday night, 10PM to Midnight will be a =VH= special. They're going to play the GH and some NEW interviews. I don't know if this is a national thing (probably is) so I will be taping. I'll entertain trade requests anytime! =VH= Friends, AGN ------------------------------ From: "Judd Alexander" Date: Mon, 14 Oct 96 14:32:11 PST Subject: VH List Can we please quit arguing with Bill ?

I just went back and looked and it say's "STAR WARS" Plain as day Bub! Don't alter shit to try and get more people on your side Mr. "Shit-for-Brains". I'm starting to get pissed, Erik. You're relentless pursuit of "NOTHING" and "WHO CARES" is getting unnerving! Why not throw a few more things in there Erik? Why not type something into one of my e-mails like, I threatened your dog or something! Be original. Besides, Even if I DID say "STAR TREK" when I meant to say "STAR-WARS", who cares? I'd venture to say that there is a lot of STAR TREK fans out here too bub, does that make them all suspect too? YOU STAR TREK FANS........DON'T IDENTIFY YOURSELF, FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, REMAIN IN THE CLOSET UNTIL THIS FUCKING IDIOT HAS BEEN SUBDUED! You crack me up Erik, I'm amused, and at the same time, pissed because now you're going to start falsifying (did I spell that right?) e-mails? This ISN't the Courts! YOU DON'T NEED TO POST YOUR DUMB ATTEMPTS AT EVEIDENCE THAT "I am EVIL"! The next thing we'll here from Erik, is that my tattoo is really......."THE MARK OF THE BEAST!" (oops....I don't have any tattoos, but I'll bet Erik can produce a photograph of me with "666" across the bridge of my nose or something!) Get out of here "Shit-for-Brains"! Go psycho on someone else! ------------------------------ End of Van Halen Digest V1 #767
