After a number of interviews in
Guitar World,
The Rolling Stone,
Kerrang! and other
music magazines where
Edward Van Halen claimed that Gary was
destined to be the lead singer in his band, and that he (Edward) was a changed man after meeting Gary and recording "
Van Halen 3",
Gary Cherone was fired from Van Halen.
This happened after the album was released, and although Gary was a
good singer, he did not quite appeal to the old
Van Halen fans, and somewhat failed to attract new ones. In short, the album he recorded with the band was
not successful. Some speculate Gary was fired because of that, while others say that
Eddie just has too much of an ego, but the fact remains. I'm not a
big Van Halen fan, but I still felt cheated after reading all those
wonderful interviews, and then a couple month later hearing about the change in the
band lineup.
And now there are
rumours floating around that
Van Halen may again tour with
David Lee Roth ...
Most intriguing.
