Friday morning, David Lee
Roth IMMEDIATELY responded to Edward Van Halen's
"disclosure" that he has cancer. It was sarcastic and
along the lines of "pick your lie, Edward":

A
MESSAGE FROM DAVID LEE ROTH.
[27
APRIL 2001]
The
following is a message from David Lee Roth to you, the fans,
and to Edward Van Halen, in response to last evening's
statement released by Edward:
"I
was stunned this morning to
learn Eddie Van Halen has cancer.
My
condolences.
You
can whip this champ.
See
ya down the road,
D."

I have started a discussion
thread at the David Lee Roth forums expounding upon WHY I have
concluded that Edward Van Halen doesn't have cancer and this is all
a PR gimmick. If you read all three pages, I think you'll agree that
it is hard to deny that Edward Van Halen has something up his
sleeve. READ
IT HERE.
Apparently Dave thought so
too. C'mon, anyone on planet Earth over the last year has heard this
rumor. Dave is "stunned to learn" it? Now, go back and
read Edward's statement applying the idea that he does NOT have
cancer. Statement still make sense? Sure it does. It's the way these
LYING DUTCHMAN operate- wordplay. "Ed Speaks Out About
Health" and "Ed Speaks About Cancer" are NOT the same
as "HIS Health" or "HIS cancer".
It's like in '96 when
everyone in the world thought Dave was in the band. Why not? They
record with him after 11 years and show up with him at the MTV
awards. Stupid us! "We never TOLD Dave he was back in the band,
we just kept saying 'baby steps'." Well, Eddie Van Halen never
TOLD anyone he had cancer. Hell, I'm beating cancer and hope to be
cancer free very soon... You can be cancer free and beating cancer.
I'm happy for Ed, glad that's he's ok. But he's letting everyone
think he's sick, going through chemo, what have you, AND IT'S
BULLSHIT. The truth is that over a year ago he had a benign growth
removed and went through a cancer prevention program. NEVER
diagnosed with cancer. The doctors in Houston confirmed that Friday in
a report on mtv.com:
Last May, a spokesperson for M.D. Anderson
Cancer Center in Houston denied reports that Van Halen had cancer,
but said the guitarist was being treated in a cancer prevention
program at the hospital (see "UPDATE:
Van Halen Cancer Report Clarified").
The spokesperson, Jane Brust, said Friday that Van Halen continued
that program over the last year, but hasn't been at the cancer
center for several months. Doctors at that hospital have never
diagnosed him with cancer, Brust said.
What burns my fucking ass is
that all these self-important idiots around the internet are
starting "Get Well Eddie" discussions and going on about
how hard it must be to record an album when you're going through
Chemo and all that. It's all a bunch of bullshit designed by Edward
VH to make Roth look like an asshole and justify over A YEAR OF
SITTING ON HIS LAZY ASS through indecision and inability to accept
the reality that Warner Brothers Records owns his ass after all the
money they lost on Van Halen III and he's gonna HAVE to work with
Dave. It's such a shame the the greatest guitarist in the world is
so mentally fucked up that he can't just do what he does best. We
haven't had new music in almost 4 years from Van Halen. They are
obviously at a stalemate of sorts with Roth right now, so this
year's probably out of the question for new music. Make that 5 years
no music...
In other "news",
Ed's lovely wife Valerie laid the biggest piece of wet sloppy crap
on the media Thursday in an interview for her new TV show, not only
contradicting Ed's health claims, but also years of anti-Roth
sentiment she has been spewing
from that diaharretic mouth of hers:
What's
Going On Here?
April
26, 2001 - Just when you thought the whole Van Halen soap opera
couldn't get more bizarre, everything changes again! This morning,
Valerie Bertinelli (Edward Van Halen's wife) appeared on several
morning radio shows to promote her new acting role in the CBS series
Touched By An Angel.
Some key snippets from the interviews
relating to Van Halen:
- Eddie's health is "great".
- Valerie prefers the "Van Roth"
era of Van Halen, and said she's "a big David Lee Roth
fan".
- Eddie and the band are waiting for Dave
to contact them.
- Everyone in the VH camp is fine and
ready to go on tour.
Valerie called in to the following
stations: KZOK Seattle with Robin and Maynard, WRQX in Washington DC
with Jack Diamond, WRIF Detroit with Drew and Mike, WRBQ in Tampa.
Eddie's health is
"great"? You bet it is, Yoko. (She must visit hitchworld-
she obviously trusts the brilliant hitchBRAIN!!!)
"hitchWORLD1969: As Endorsed by Valerie Van Halen!!!"- my
new slogan!!! "Van
Roth" is not a name I recognize. "Van Hagar", yes.
She's a fan??? OF DAVE??? How fuckin' stupid does she think we are?
Jesus. Ed and her must sit around and figure out how to tell the
most dramatic off-the-wall lies you've ever heard. These two are
crazy and are enabling each other's mental illness. I think they
should get a divorce,
READ ABOUT IT HERE in the hitchworld forums.
They are "waiting for
Dave" to contact them??? Wasn't Dave over there last summer
writing 3 astonishing tunes? What ended that? Perhaps MAYBE THE FACT
that Edward is demanding that Dave sing VAN HAGAR songs- something
I've told you since day one was a DEAL BREAKER for Roth. He'll never
do it, and shouldn't.
Ahhh... but then Ed's sick
with cancer...that nasty Dave Roth is sooo inconsiderate. HEY, I
DONT CARE IF HE ACTUALLY DOES HAVE ORAL CANCER AT THIS POINT!!! He
can still play fucking guitar!!! It's not like they're claiming that
Ed has CANCER OF THE FUCKING FINGERS!!! That, I'd understand and
excuse.
Get to work, boys. You've
wasted enough time with this BULLSHIT. Do it now, goddammit!!! You
wanna be remembered as great musicians or the crazy guitarist who
cried cancer and didn't have it. The reality is that if any of us
get cancer, we still gotta get up and go to work. Ed doesn't even
have it- never had, and thanks to a year of wasted time and excuses
of "prevention treatment"- never will. Gosh, if we could
all be so lucky.
Until the next update, take
care of yourselves...and each other.
