I think (maybe hopelessly, I don't know) that it can still work. Along with Carmine, I'll voice my vote that CGTSNM and MWM produced some REAL results...the magic is just THERE with David, and it always has been. Now, to be truthful, I was REALLY, REALLY worried about the upcoming BOV1 back before it came out - after so many years had passed, was it going to be there?
All questions fucking CEASED when I got done with both of the new tracks.
To whatever logic, however the magic works, David just brings out the very best in the musicians he works with...be it Van Halen or his solo group. It's always brilliant, always perfect, always what it should be.
Things are understandably different now...Eddie's about one step shy of being psychotic, Mike's virtually just a touring member, Alex is essentially in control of everything of all things Van Halen...but I'd be willing to put good money down that, if all the existing crap can be worked around and all the fucking egos dropped for the sense of doing it for the fans who deserve after all these years of BULLSHIT - you're bound to see real fuckin' dynamite out of those four yet.
David's capable of NO LESS, regardless of what the situation is. I don't think it's too late in the game just yet, but unless they act in the next year or two, it will be. That's why they either need to shit or get off the pot, and of course most of that's going to start with Ed and Al.
We have to remember that these four dudes fought their way to the absolute top together, and while the going was difficult along the way, they always overcame...until 1985, anyway, but at that point David leaving had to be done. If they can get back to the raw essentials, rip away all the shit that's happened over the years and just focus on the music...anything's possible, folks.
Anything.
