This was Eddie fucking up in the process. IT doomed the VH3 album. I like the Cherone era album because of Ed playing on it is awesome, but....Dave at the time would have been way better to take in for a full album
Now that I watch it again I noticed Mike's sarcastic laugh. Michael Anthony is one of the nicest man you could meet. I met him in South Beach back in 1997 or so when Sammy Hagar was promoting his Tequila in South Florida and Mike was tagging along with him and they did a tasting where I worked and Mike was very approachable, would carry on a conversation like a normal person, he did not have that " I am a Rock Star vibe" like many Rock stars that walked into where I used to work. So here in this video HE seemed annoyed by being there, don't get me wrong Eddie seemed pissed but how funny it is that Dave and Alex seem to be having a good time.
@@ven11235 They were ready to go with Gary...but they didn't tell Dave...Dave claims they used him to promote the greatest hits album knowing full well there wasn't going to be a reunion...
I haven’t watched this in decades but I remember watching it live and freaking out. Given the benefit of hindsight, the Van Halen brothers completely screwed up this era. Cherone was a disaster. Ed and Alex would go on to trash Dave only to bookend their career with Dave for a final tour. Roth and the Van Halen brothers squandered a great thing. It’s really a shame.
You heard the story about what really happened right? And Roth telling everyone they 'already had finished several songs' when they had not written anything yet.
@@ronnie_5150 at least Roth basically tips his cap that he’s a bullshitter. He’s consciously embellished things for years because he comes from Old School Showbiz. It’s entertainment. Al and Ed were miserable, self-serious whack jobs that acted like they were innocent but were total asshats. Which arguably makes them much worse
@@davidmerlin3344 Do not rationalize Edward Van Halen. He was a mean lying drunk. Edward Van Halen was treating Dave and the fans like shit. David is nervous because he was being played. Dave was sincere.
@@jamesragsdale8202 exactly. Dave was just being Dave, like him or not, he was just being himself. And I’m sure the standing ovation from the crowd and their excitement probably pumped Dave up even more.
@Anderson Cooper They were never going to let Dave back into the band. They had already hired Mitch Malloy to replace Sammy Hagar, who quit after he saw this on TV.
Also Dave and Ed almost went to blows at the back saying you wrecked Becks moment I remember Dave was excited love it then 2007 they went on tour together
They would have probably brought Dave back if he had not made an ass of himself on stage and made the comment to Eddie backstage about his hip. He was an A-hole and that’s why he didn’t get a chance to come back.
Teve a oportunidade nessa época de voltar com o David mais novo com condições físicas e vocal melhor ai faz isso com ele anos depois envelhecido, nessa o Ed falhou!!
Whewre were the 2 songs and 2 videos? I saw no videos? I know of Me Wise Magic. What was the second, please please tell me. I bought that greatest of album that featured Me Wise, but there wasn't a second new one on it.
Ed looks so uncomfortable here. They were in their early 40s and could have killed it with a worldwide tour again . At this time Ed knew he would be hiring Gary Cherone…
Eddie looked really awful at this time. An interview Eddie & Al did a few months after this, Eddie was emaciated & didn't have a single tooth left in his head.
The funniest part about this is that they actually had already hired another guy, Mitch Malloy. 1996 was a crazy year for Van Halen. Sammy Hagar, Mitch Malloy, David Lee Roth, AND Gary Cherone we’re all apart of Van Halen all within the same year.
That was a nightmare because it might’ve work and it would’ve be great but has usual Dave can’t keep his mouth shut and act like a person with respect to others

Just keep your eyes on Eddie, after a standing ovation and extended applause, he knew he made a big mistake. Damn...what could've been.
Edward Van Halen's mistake was being an idiot.
@@jamesragsdale8202 facts.
Why and how did he know?

I think Mitch would have been great he has a great personality and awesome voice
can feel the tension
cut it with a knife ... one more interview that night might have resulted in jail time ... or hospital
ed looks so pissed
Eddie looks pissed, because that Alex and DLR chemistry was coming thru pretty hard.
More like “how am I going to explain all this to Mitch!” 😳

Eddie's body language says it all
That's an alcoholics inability to cognitively deal well.
Hahaha very true, the band all knew it wasn't gonna work and Dave seemed so happy ...
Boy they ( the brothers) FUCKED this up!!

Cherone was great.
Well said. Super unfortunate for everyone.
Cherone was great with extreme but he just was a mile away from fitting into van halen . It just didn’t work and in fact was terrible .
They did three tours with Roth. 07/08, 2012, 2015. And an Australian festival and a few Japan shows in 2013, so that’s a mini-tour I guess.
Eddie looked pissed 😡 The End.
roth hid it better you mean
Such a huge letdown, To have to have Cherone instead of this was just the beginning of the end for a while.
Cherone was great!
@@alexkx8599 no, lol. Like the guy but was a weird era. Such a huge letdown
@@mikes51501 Cherone was a disaster for VH.
He was great in Extreme but totally the wrong guy for Van Halen.
In my opinion.... nooo....Gary is good in any situation!!!!!
Roth is a weird dude who likes the sound of his own voice, but Eddie has a major ego as well.
Those songs they did blew away every fricking Sam Hagar song 🎵!!
I've got to say, as a 12 year old kid watching this live, I loved. it. And I turned out alright.
You heard the story about what really happened right? And Roth telling everyone they 'already had finished several songs' when they had not written anything yet.
“I think an audience can tell when you’re BS-ing them or not.” Ironic.
Especially Roth saying they had "finished several songs, and they are sensational." When they hadn't written anything yet.

The brothers were mad a Dave we wanted them back together they used Dave for Publicity
Dave made an ass of himself that night. He probably could have been back in the band if he would have played nice.
@@davidmerlin3344 the crowd gave him a standing ovation everyone was pumped fans wanted this for a long time and wanted him to talk

they knew dave was always gonna be dave, they should have just bit the bullet and toured
And Edward Van Halen was going to be a drunken idiot. Dave was willing to work with that.
Except it was B.S. If they had only done a full album and tour after this.
There were no plans for a tour.
@Anderson Cooper There were never any plans for a tour in 1996 bcuz Ed was scheduled to have hip surgery in December.
@Anderson Cooper They were never going to let Dave back into the band. They had already hired Mitch Malloy to replace Sammy Hagar, who quit after he saw this on TV.
@Anderson Cooper Indeed.
EVH(r.i.p.) and DLR. 2 monster egos that couldn't let the music win. Still the best band ever!
I idolize Dave, he has it all
LOVE ALEX VAN HALEN. The brains behind the Van Halen operation.
Alex Van Halen had no brains.
Eddie looks thrilled. Just let Dave be Dave and cash checks. He’s not as bad as T.O.
Also Dave and Ed almost went to blows at the back saying you wrecked Becks moment I remember Dave was excited love it then 2007 they went on tour together
Michael Anthony: what a CF!
You can’t lie 2 the fans, 2 bad they did that
They would have probably brought Dave back if he had not made an ass of himself on stage and made the comment to Eddie backstage about his hip. He was an A-hole and that’s why he didn’t get a chance to come back.
@@davidmerlin3344 They had already hired Mitch Malloy. They were using Dave for publicity.

@@davidmerlin3344 You did not know your Van Halen history. Edward Van Halen was an irrational angry asshole drunk. David Lee Roth was not.

You don’t remember “Can't Get This Stuff No More”? That was the second new song with Roth on the Best Of album.
You can't keep Dave down. It's impossible.
Meanwhile Mitch Malloy just shit his pants! 🤣

When the music companies played a prank using a disgruntled band to make great 💰
LOOK AT MIKE, AND EDDIE AS DAVE PREV ALES THE RING OFF YOUR EAR BS ! 1:58
What is the meaning of that ring idiom? I don't get it.
That must be before the Eddie and Dave argument?
What a gyp that turned out to be am I right?
Was Eddie painting the set?? WTF??
Why does Alex sound like gene simmons? Little did we all know that the band broke up after this interview
try ten years earlier according to roth, not saying he's trustworthy
Roth's solo career lasted five years then he became an oldies act.
He still went multi platinum & stayed rich.
i guess i dont remember them doing 2 more songs and videos together
r u kidding? i don't remember last week !!
Too much drugs here...........
Hahah 😹🥳🥰👍😬😉✌️
What's with that outfit...
all 4
C'mon, Dave...
gimme a break.
They screwed-up by losing Sammy Hagar.
Common fool
Yes. Edward Van Halen was a common drunken fool.
