Jeff Berlin's resume reads like the who's who of the higher echelon of music artists. Jeff Berlin was even asked to join Van Halen, an invitation that he actually turned down. "Eddie Van Halen was a fan of the band that I played in with Bill Bruford," Berlin recalls. "We met and started to hang out and jam together. He was a sweet terrific guy. One day he saw me play a gig with my group and then asked me if I would like to join Van Halen. After this, we rehearsed at David Lee Roth's house a couple of times. Ultimately, I said no to his gracious offer because when you join a band, you join the entirety of it, the life philosophy of its members and also the habits that they may be involved with. I felt that, in terms of activities and attitudes, I didn't mesh with their vision of things. I didn't wish to be mercenary and just take the job for money because it wouldn’t be fair to the band members. So, I just said no to the offer."

Gowan needs to learn it's about the legacy and the fit not the money.

you just continue to show how stupid you are. jeff berlin didn't join van halen because he didn't fit in with their attitudes. when larry joined styx he did fit in with their attitude. they wanted to be a rock band and so did he. so he joined. it's that simple, but 11 years later you are still crying,

Jeff Berlin didn't "click" with the guys on a personal level or on a musical level, and that's why he turned down the gig.. Gowan gets along with everyone in Styx very well and they share many of the same views and outlooks on things. Gowan would have been an idiot to turn don the Styx gig. Quit crying about something that happened eleven years ago. I bet you still aren't over the girlfriends who dumped you in high school.

We have, and we think you're obsessive and overbearing about Styx. Find a new hobby.

The above is froyspeak. The 'normal people' translation is: "I'm going to bed early tonight and will continue this argument in another thread later."

Lame.

PS. Larry RULES.

But so does Dennis...
