I remember seeing this when it premiered in the 90s and my only thought was, you’re a wimp Eddie that you have to kick someone in the balls. That’s what girls do, not grown men😅
@@csueyres Eddie looked like his teeth had been ground down to nothing from blow and chewing on those cigarettes. Al with the slicked back hair and plastered grin next to him 😂 They ruined the illusion that day though. Almost worse than finding out Santa Clause wasn’t real
The only difference was DLR never said they were best friends. They were meant to bring out the absolute best from each other. AVH said the same. Sammy created an alternate reality that didn't exist. Mike was Sammy's dude. The brothers stuck with each other until recording time. It's so evident. 1996 was rushed and 2004 was a money grab. That was a huge FU to Sammy on that one. RIP EVH. ❤😢❤
@@tree4318 that’s right, they let him make the Barry series. Not sure why @harrygrimley4352 says he’s not given the credit he deserves when Bill Hader has gotten very far with his talent and career
"Not given the credit he deserves"? He's universally loved as one of the greatest comic performers of all time - in his own time - and has won multiple Emmy awards for writing and directing one of the greatest series of all time. He's on top of the world and can literally make anything he wants now. How much more "credit" can a person in the industry possibly get? lol
No - MY Eddie Van Halen impression is SPOT ON! My voice, inflection, and speech you would think that it was Eddie talking right to you if you had your eyes open or closed. I've been doing EVH impressions for more than thirty years. In fact some people at the "Live: Right Here Right Now" concert was him. I looked lot like Eddie back when I had hair. Now you couldn't tell. But I can still play like him!
I will never forget this interview! I was like 12 years old. Can't believe Bill Hader had left out the fact that Eddie Van Halen had threatened David Lee Roth backstage that if he ever did that again that he would kick him in the nuts! I will never forget the way that he said this, while holding his singular cigarette pointed towards the sky!
Over and over he kept saying ".... you better be wearing a cup!" In that same press round, Guitar Player magazine interviewed him and kept repeating that as well. Letters to the editor the following month were hilarious. "Imagine how let down I was to pick up the latest issue with the greatest guitar player on Earth and there's nothing about gear, technique, or influences. Just him running around kicking people in the balls..." I was crying laughing.
He should have brought up the part in the interview where Eddie says that Roth said, "Tonight's about me." and then in the back Alex repeated it but slower..."Tonight's about me..."
The self-importance of that moment was hilarious. Remember it well. Total lack of self awareness that by the time of this interview, people had stopped taking them seriously.
As soon as I heard Ed say that, I knew he was lying. R.I.P. Eddie, my idol, legendary icon. I still miss him and can't believe he is gone. However, he was a bit of a liar when he had to pick a side. I've seen countless Roth interviews and videos, etc. I can't see him saying that "tonight is all about me". That's way too convenient of a slam. It's easy to say he had an ego, but he was a lead singer. Eddie had a massive ego. The humble routine was partially an act. Al had an ego. Mike had an ego. They all took a solo EVERY night! Their opportunity to show off, all ego. The drumsets, the guitars, the clothes, the Jack Daniel's bass, Mike's hot sauces......they all have massive egos, and I am absolutely OK with that. But the finger pointing at Roth, who pushed that band to greatness. The guy who had to work the audience in the clubs. He designed their sets, their marketing, etc. If anyone was allowed to have an ego, it's him. If not for him, they play Sabbath and Cactus and get few gigs. But one thing I noticed was that on the surface, it was easy to say Roth had an ego, but he was ALWAYS about the band. He was super protective of the band. It was Eddie who kept doing nonstop solo and collaboration projects. Roth never wanted the band to break up, and wrote a movie with the intent that VH would do the sound track. But would he ever actually say "Fuk your hip, tonight's all about me"? Nah....that sounds like something someone would say to make people dislike that person and feel bad for them. VH used Roth by letting him feel that they were getting back together so they could help sell the Greatest Hits album. I mean hell, they wrote and produced 2 new killer songs. Of course Roth would think they were getting back together. 2 new songs? Announcing his return on MTV awards? Yeah, I'd be pissed too. Read his book, his version seems honest and detailed. He even said the same thing about talking about the hip. Because he's right. Some things you keep to yourself. And on a night meant for fans, the last thing you want to do is make yourself look old and broken down while hoping they buy tickets to see you. Again, Roth protecting the group. It's a business as well, and it makes sense. The fact he mentions it in his book tells me he felt no guilt and the rest of his description was probably accurate.
@@Rob-dp3vr good post, and agree with your sentiments. Roth takes a lot of abuse for the very same things that made Roth who he is, and Van Halen is. It was so disingenuous for them to act like bringing him back meant he had to be someone Ed approves of and controls, versus bringing back the flamboyant guy who escalated Ed from being just another Vai, Satriani, Malmsteen…brilliant guitarists, but nothing more, and nobody of any historic significance or relevance.
I remember that interview the Van Halen’s had with MTV News. 1996. It was a sad revelation that the OG Van Halen line up would not be getting back together.
The interview that you're referring to two subjects in the same interview with (Kurt Loder MTV) When Eddie was asked why Sammy Hagar left or quit, Edward states, "Sammy's work ethic sucks. If he wanted to be here, he would be here right now." Edward states, "come on Sammy, you cannot lie about what took place." He went on to say that Sammy stated he was a solo artist before joining Van Halen and he wanted to go back to being a solo artist. Sammy response was, "he got a phone on Father's Day" and Edward said, since Sammy didn't want to record and have anything to do with the Greatest Hits album, they went and got Roth and it is working out. Inferring that he was fired by Edward Van Halen. The interviewer (Kurt Loder) turns to the subject of what took place at the (MTV AWARDS SHOW) when Van Halen appeared for the first time with David Lee Roth on stage. That is when Edward goes into how David Lee Roth was acting goofy, bizarre, and disrespectful to Beck. Edward goes on about what took place when they were at the post press conference, and announces that he needs to get his hip replaced, all of the sudden David Lee Roth gets quiet, and refuses to answer any questions. So instead of Roth coming up to Edward and saying, "hey maybe you shouldn't mention your hip." Roth replies, "tonight is about me, not your fucking hip." That is when all hell came breaking loose. Van Halen with Roth had already recorded two songs for the Greatest Hits Volume One, and the Warren Bros. wanted to create two videos. They only did one with "Me wise magic", a great song. Kurt Loder concludes the interview asking the Van Halen brothers did you promise David Lee Roth was back in the band? Edward and Alex are talking over each other saying it was "baby-steps." Alex does tend to echo the words spoken by Edward, which is funny.
I know the interview Bill's referencing! The only thing I would add is that the "work ethic" bit was them taking a moment to slag Sammy Hagar-they said he was out of the band because he hadn't been working hard enough recently. But yeah, most of the rest of it is them being infuriated with Dave's behavior at the VMAs.
If you put your mind to turning out some, "crap", KevyNova, you'd be successful billionaire like Sammy. But I'm sure writing juvenile comments on UA-cam all day is much more rewarding for you.......
I really miss Bill Hader in the "Documentary Now!" series, as he's been absent for the last two seasons of it. I really hope they do at least ONE more season and that he comes back for a couple of episodes. That said, his next project will likely be a movie he writes and directs.
Holy Cow man. I'm glad I wasn't the only one that used to think that interview with the Van Halen Bros talking about David Lee Roth on MTV was hilarious. Crazy, I was just looking for that clip a few days ago.
The interplay between Evh and avh in the interview makes sense because Eddie is clearly out of his mind (but the person the questions are aimed at ) and Alex is trying to keep the train on the tracks . EVH aged 20 years between 1995 and 1997
OMG, I just heard him speak a few words as EVH and I lost it 🤣🤣🤣🤣 paused it quick, gotta make a jay sit back then will sit back and savor this. Brilliant haha
My late, great best buddy used to do "Dueling Paul Stanleys" where we'd converse about really mundane topics but in Paul Stanley's over the top stage banter voice.
Believe it or not, I Just Saw that exact same interview this past week, small work on UA-cam, lol... Love both VH and Bill Hader, too... Love, Everyone... 😎😎😎🤙🤙🤙🤙🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷
I LOVE VH, especially with Dave and this is so f’ing funny and spot on! I just wish he’d have imitated Dave too! It was accurate too! Watch the interview; it’s really like that.
Very true. And in reality, it's the opposite. Eddie and Al's work ethic sucks. That's why Sammy and Mike broke away to do other stuff.... and then the VH Brothers are pissed off at them about that....how dare they do side projects despite the fact VH is practically dormant for years/decades. Ridiculous!
Which is ironic because Sam has always worked his ass off and never stopped. It's a shame what happened to that band. Amazing memories and great summers though. I am happy that Ed got his stuff together and was playing better than ever at the end. He deserved that much for all the joy he brought to peoples lives. RIP EVH.
@@TeamLuka Yep.... Straight UP "pot callin the kettle black" scenario..And? "Hagar's work ethic SUCKED!" ... Eddie! SMH BIG TIME talkin, with his foot 🦶 so far down 👇 his mouth..... SMH 😒 Substance ABUSE maaan..... NO good 😞🤘🔥🤘
I remember many decades ago when Van Halen was doing a lot of publicity to promote Sammy joining the band. There was a special on MTV with Van Halen in which Alex had the temerity to say the following: "I mean, what did Dave ever contribute to the band? I mean, he came up with the costumes and the concepts for the videos and he wrote the lyrics, but besides that, what did he ever contribute?"
The way Ed and Al expressed themselves in that interview I`n not sure if I`m more embarrassed by or sorry for them, especially knowing Eddie`s problems with health and substance abuse. The brothers sounded like some very bitter person after a divorce. But I kinda like how Hader finds the humour in this.
Yeah, it seemed like Eddie was shocked an egotistical attention hog was stealing his thunder when he wanted everyone to feel sorry for him that night. "Hey, tonight was supposed to be about my hip surgery!" It's Roth, of course he was thrilled to get the press looking at him for the first time in years.
@MichaelTheroff-fn1kx he didn't want anyone to feel sorry for him. The journalists in attendance immediately started asking when they were gonna tour, and Eddie simply told him nothing was planned because he had to have surgery. Roth's a fucking dick.
For about 15 years before that 1996 MTV interview I always thought DLR was the problem in VH --- the press convinced me of it --- but after watching that interview and how they talked about Dave and Sammy --- I suddenly realized Eddie and Alex were the problem, and always were
Bill Hader is absolutely underrated. He's hysterical. His Pacino, Keith Morrison, Alan Alda impressions on genius.. not to mention the character Stefon. He is a great talent.
There are 2 impressions that blindfolded you wouldn't know they were impressions: Frank Caliendo's John Madden and Bill Hader's Alan Alda. Absolutely flawless
@kerzytibok3211 And the English language is full of Dutch slander that we still use today. "Going Dutch" "Dutch courage" "Dutch whore" "The wooden shoes" etc. You gotta understand the history between two countries before you race go baiting.

"He better be wearing a cup!"
I think the “no work ethic” stuff was when the VH brothers were talking about Sam during that same interview.
I wish they would have provided a link on that nights show...Enjoy Bill's sense of humor immensely.
Gold.
Bill Hader is a national treasure!
pure gold
Gotta love Bill,no ha der
Bill could read names out of the phone book and i'd be on the floor
Bill Hader is the greatest! Wow, that is funny.
One at a time, one at a time. 😂😂
Love VH & THIS IS FABULOUS❤❤😂😂😂
Man … I love Hader … also awesome he’s knows Johnny Wurster and punk rock on the whole .. Makes. me a little happier in the sad existence
Alex and Eddie often slipped into Dutch language when they didn’t want people to know what they were saying.
The brothers were very racist --- there is a clip of them calling a British guy a "teabag" over and over
@kerzytibok3211 And the English language is full of Dutch slander that we still use today. "Going Dutch" "Dutch courage" "Dutch whore" "The wooden shoes" etc.
You gotta understand the history between two countries before you race go baiting.
@@kerzytibok3211Lol I'm British that's not exactly racist. Disrespectful maybe but it's fairly mild.
@@patton303don’t forget ‘*The Dutch OVEN*’
That text chain was meta inside meta. 🤯
Sounds more like Lindsey Buckingham.
Who doesn't love the Fonz?
What's Up With That?! 🎶
@@ken952gtroh no Lindsay, you been here like twanty times!
We cool
Lemme know we cool
SO good!!
Alex Van Halen is literally the American Pie Culmination Guy😂
I LOVE impressions of people that I've never heard talk.....
Bill turned the Van Halen Bros into characters that belong in a David Lee Roth video 😅
haha, totally! 😄
They would be the two douchey Dutch brothers at the beginning of the "California Girls" video 😅
That’s comedy gold!!.
Ahhhh😂 Perfect. 😅
I've seen that interview actually.
Hader is a legend
Does anyone know where to find the interview he's referencing?! I've looked all over youtube, it seems to be gone. Only a dumb 40-second edit is left
"I'll take a lie detector test!"
Haha "Gonna stick with the bull story, Sam?"
Brilliant 👏
