Dave treated everyone lower than him. Its just the way he is. Dave complimented Ed while in the band and after. One time during a live show in '86 Roth was talking to audience members and someone screamed "Eddie Van Halen sucks!" and Roth said "no, he doesn't suck. He's a guitar god".
They were mad at each other for a long time but I don't think it ever turned to hate. Dave soon found out that he wasn't shit without VH and that VH didn't need him. I mean, I like some of the Roth solo stuff with Vai but it just didn't have it like VH did. Just my opinion on that.
He looks like a refugee today.
The older he gets the more like an old jewish woman he becomes.
