Metal Sludge Gossip Board

This is pretty good stage rap from Dave and he talks about Eddie Van Halen's ghost visiting Sammy Hagar and writing a song with him.

"One of my esteemed colleagues — he's a contemporary, he's got a great voice, he's got a great catalog. You all know Sammy Hagar, right? He's got a great voice. And Sammy, aloud, he described to the media about six weeks ago that the ghost of Eddie Van Halen visited him and graced him with a song that he memorized and then went home and recorded. It's on the Internet. I don't know what the odds are, but last night the ghost of Eddie Van Halen visited me at the fucking hotel room. I was watching the weather report and he came in and he was laughing. His fucking ghost was laughing. I said, 'What did you do now?' He said, 'Dave, Dave…' Actually, you want me to do his accent? [Adopts Eddie's accent] 'Hey, Dave.' He said, 'Dave, you know that song I gave Hagar?' I said, 'What now?' He said, 'It's actually 'In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida' backwards. Don't fucking tell him.' This all stays in this room, right? I laughed. We shared a ghost cigarette, a ghost Marlboro. Not one of those pussy-ass white ones, but the Marlboro Reds. And I hugged my brother Ed, and I said, 'Man, do I fucking miss you.' And he said, 'I miss you too, Dave.' He said, 'But you know what? You should still go to hell.' And I said, 'Save me a seat.'"

Sammy is definitely mock worthy

Great stuff.

This got posted to Ultimate Guitar, and the humorless fucks there were all like, "But that song doesn't sound anything like In In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida". Idiots.

Dave dishing out the dirt, I love it!!

This is just perfect.

funny shit

Sammy actually had a shockingly classy response:

I can't believe social media is trying to make something out of this. This is the first compliment and reel Olivebranch moment dave and I have had in 100 years. Listen closely and you will see that this is not negative whatsoever. And I believe dave had the dream as well. Dave's a good storyteller, but there's some truth in between the showmanship. all good with me keep it up Dave these songs we both wrote with Eddie need to be carried on forever.

Why is what Dave said not "classy"? Hagtard's stupid BS story deserved to be mocked. Dave's still got it (wit-wise).

Is there any part of what Dave said that is supposed to be an insult?

Fuckin hilarious!!

Agreed. I thought it came across as good natured fun.

They should have another go at a Sam & Dave tour.

Great job by Sammy on this.

This can't be real

Dave was 100% mocking the shit out of Sammy and his BS story, c'mon.

Sammy posted it on IG. I'm not even going to bother trying to post a screenshot on here.

The dig went right over Sammy’s head. Sam and Dave in a nutshell.

Sam is tired of fighting and was genuinely surprised at how generous Dave was in his comments.

Sammy must have stopped listening at “great voice”

Not literally but that's Dave for you. Dave parodied Sammy's stupid stories about meeting ghosts, aliens and whatnot that he's been telling since at least 1991. Probably earlier.

Dave is insinuating that it's a shit song that Eddie purposely gave him and is laughing at him from beyond the grave.

The fact that this has to be explained is bewildering.

Or he realises his ghost-story is so incredibly stupid that there's no comeback possible from this dig.

Sammy probably understood the dig, but Dave also complimented his voice and catalog. So he's good with it.

Sammy's response is proof positive of his narcissism (not that anyone needed that proof).

As others commented, all he read was "Sammy has a great voice" and idiotically thought Dave was giving an olive branch.
Dave is witty when he mocks others.
