Yeah but weren't those comments made AFTER they booted him? If he revered Eddie, WHY did he treat him like shit while IN the band?
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.
