He was very protective. I give you a nod for bringing that up. If they invited you back into the band, is that something you’d ever want to do?As far as songwriting, it’s always at the back of my head. It started there. I don’t know if I want to meet him. . There was a long time when the brothers weren’t talking with Dave. On the off chance you haven’t heard, Van Halen released a new album this week. I want to give you and your family privacy.”. Did the band freak out?No, cause they sold well enough. Some markets were soft on the tour. But during my period, I think the cue was Eddie. I feel like a lot of former singers of big bands are bitter about their experience. I would start it but I would let them finish it. I’ll go out for the weekend, sing ‘Jump,’ come back and have a good story to tell.” And that was truly, truly how much I thought about it. I’d met him over the years at some Extreme shows. It’s also got a little punk edge to it. Former Van Halen singer Gary Cherone was so shocked to learn of Eddie Van Halen’s death he had to take a day to gather his thoughts before he could offer up a tribute. There’s a song called “Just War Theory” that I think you would dig. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t going in the right direction. Even though I spent three years with Van Halen and loved it, my heart and soul has always been with Extreme. Of course you’re going to get the die-hard fans who are never going to like you no matter what you do. I’d be hanging out with a producer and he’d say, “Write to this.” And Eddie would be on some crazy hours. He became more of a craftsman. What else are you working on these days?Last year I put out out a record with my band Hurtsmile and it got some good reviews. We were in New Zealand and they were going to broadcast one of the first shows live. On November 5th, 1999, Gary Cherone officially parted ways with Van Halen. This is my comfort zone. I head everything from him jamming with Ozzy to Chris Cornell. The Dave stuff was easy. Want more Rolling Stone? How was the first show? Towards the end he started drinking, but he was no way close to how he was in 2004.

When we broke up, it was mutual. It’s pretty aggressive stuff, pretty hard, but it’s rock and roll. I was dying to get out there and play some new songs, play some old songs. Strangers things have happened. . But no. I got into a fight with the manager. How was Ed during this time? But knowing Eddie, he’s probably revamped all those leads. But he seems a little out there for me. I remember Pat, the bass player in Extreme, calling me and saying “Turn on MTV. If anyone ever had it, Gary Cherone sure as hell did – and he handled it with style. Vocally, the Sammy stuff was very challenging. Me and Eddie were writing at the time. Me and Eddie were like, “Yeah, can we still write?” I was like, “Yeah, great!” At the time I was hoping that Extreme were going to get back together, but that took another five years. I was talking to him a bit here and there for a little while after I left, but as time went on it got sparser and sparser. I had some things going on in my personal life that affected me. He was a contemporary of Dave’s. “That run was awesome,” says Cherone, for whom Van Halen had always been one of his favorite bands. Did they treat Michael like an equal, or was there already a distance between them?I have no reference point as to how close anybody was during the Sammy era or during the Dave era. Ed’s drinking?Yeah. they ask you to join the band, and they go do the VMAs with David Lee Roth? That would be awesome. I think we sang about four songs and Eddie went to the bathroom, came back out and said, “Let’s write a song.” It was a good day. I don’t know if any of that’s true. Obviously I’m younger than Hagar, and when Sammy joined the band, he was a contemporary of Van Halen, So it was different for me. As far as I’m concerned, this record is inspiring. I think I was the second or third person to try out for the band. What happened exactly?We went through a couple of people that were working with us. At the urging of Van Halen's manager, Ray Danniels (who also managed Extreme), Cherone was called for an audition. Every first with Van Halen was surreal. You unhappy?” I go, “No Ed. Right now we are touring. Cause me and Ed got along. Maybe there was one other time . It’s interesting that right after you left the band slid into this crazy period of dysfunction where nothing seemed to get done. I definitely know of one other person. I think that some in the camp sensed my frustration. I grew up on Aerosmith, Queen, Led Zeppelin and Van Halen. But the three years I was in the band, every day I woke up not knowing what the day was going to bring. The tour went great. Reminds you that, at the end of the day, this rock star was just a guy with... Has anyone heard Eddie Truck's show from 10/7? Sign up for our newsletter. But I’m putting it out there right now . I got off the plane in the afternoon and I remember Mike Anthony came out. Over the years, he’s been great to me. It was time to move out. That’ll never happen in a million years. . “My phone was … Not everyone would be around. Their new album seems to be largely built around old material. I have a side project called Hurtsmile with my brother on guitar. There was a lot going on before I came in. I was excited that summer when Pat called and told me there was a commercial on saying that Roth’s getting back with Van Halen. I don’t know. Send us a tip using our anonymous form. That is true. Did you see any shows on the reunion tour with Roth?Now, but I almost saw them in 2007, but I was out of town. That summer, my manager Ray Danniels – who also managed Van Halen at the time – calls me up. Tell me more about that first jam session with the whole band.That was the first day. What happened?Well, not dysfunctional among personalities. How I explain it is, if he puts on his guitar, he can fluently talk to you. I’m from a previous generation. Gary Cherone Reflects on his Three-Year Stint In Van Halen ‘I was one of the three singers in the mighty Van Halen. What happened when the tour ended?We came back in ’99 and we were writing stuff. The brothers are pretty territorial. I think the rift between Michael and the brothers came when Michael joined Sammy. He’s put on some weight and he’s playing his ass off. Disclaimer: VHND is not affiliated with Van Halen, Edward Van Halen or ELVH, Inc. I didn’t feel threatened. Did they dip into the vault for any of the songs on Van Halen III, or did they write all new songs?Van Halen III was pretty much all new. It worked out because either I would sing the parts in “Unchained” or “Panama”and I’d let the audience do it, and the audience got a kick out of doing it. I get it. I got on the phone with Eddie a few times and we wrote a song over the telephone. They were making a move and they were just getting rid of the manager, and I was part of that. Dave’s coming back!” There was some story about them, and they were playing the theme to Welcome Back Kotter. It took them fourteen years to release a follow-up to Van Halen III. They were filled of jams and riffs. “Get your rocket helmets on, guys. I was thinking, “I’ll take it day to day, week to week, let’s write another song, let’s write another song.” I remember calling back home and everyone saying, “Are you in the band? I do think that releasing “Tattoo” first was a misstep. Her tour just wrapped, so what are the plans for the band?We’re currently writing, but I doubt a record will be out this year. Extreme toured with Cinderella. You can’t take that away from me’ . I think they were renegotiating royalties. Once we were on tour, we became a band. He’s always had nice things to say about me. But we are going to put out new music over the Internet to the fans. Alex is happy . Sammy, I’m calling on you brother. For a few years in the 1990s, Gary Cherone served as the lead singer in Van Halen. I hadn't heard that about Sammy and Ed communicating. But for me coming in as a third singer, I said, “Listen, I got to do everything that I can to get into the good graces of these fans here.” I remember telling Alex, “Look, I’ll do whatever you guys want.” I wanted to do an equal balance of both of those eras. I said, “You’re going to put this on video and I’ve only done three shows with this band? They told me, “Gary, no one knows you’re in the band.” I remember bumping into a photographer from Japan and he knew me from Extreme. and maybe he didn’t. So by coming home and doing other stuff, it felt more like a band. No, Michael played. . But I’m calling Sammy out right now – Extreme/Chickenfoot. It’s somewhat frustrating for all of us, including Nuno. Sammy stuff . We toured Japan and we did some U.S. stuff. Are you freaking out at this point? Even when I was in the band, Nuno and Pat [Badger] would call and go, “I can’t believe you’re in my favorite band.” It was surreal. I know me and Eddie could write in the future. And Eddie was like, “Why you wanna move out? But not since then. I think there was some great songs on the record, but I didn’t think the record was great. I’ve heard stories about them jamming with David Lee Roth around 2001. I think he’s not even smoking. I spent another couple of months at Ed’s house with the band broken up. . Tell me how you first heard about the opportunity to possibly be in Van Halen?Oh wow, you’re going back. We are writing a second record. I love what he does onstage, and lyrically, he can turn a great phrase. You know, it’s the pop world versus the rock world. I just found out that we were up for a Def Leppard tour, but that fell through. Maybe Dave thought that, but . Everything from guitar/vocal scratch tracks to a couple that were more produced. You’re in the band, right?” And I would go, “Yeah, I guess.” I never bet too high because I didn’t know how long it would last. You could almost picture him, back on familiar Boston turf, breathing a long-overdue sigh … You see, the Van Halen camp is a very small circle. That’s the tour. Looking back, I don’t feel any regret. I didn’t think that. Please put that in your story. For whatever reason, Sammy only did four songs from the Dave era. He was like, “We sense that you’re unhappy and a little bit frustrated.” I was playing the diplomat. It’s sort of an acknowledgment that the band can’t write in the same way they used to.In defense of Ed, there was always way more material than I could even get through.
