What DLR should do!

[EAST COAST]

i went to a steve vai instrumental show at a club called the strand in providence r.i. in the middle ninetys, 96 or 95 i think. and got a backstage pass. i was able to ask him a question and get an autograph. i asked him if dave was hard to work with, he said YEP, with a smile, then he said to me we never should have broken up. if that band stayed together we would be selling out the taj majal... and that is a quote..

The closest thing I saw to Van Halen was in Camden NJ and Hartford CT in 2002.

RAY LUZIER is the best drummer ever !

An EEAS reunion would kick ass.

What are Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan doing these days??

[Dave IS VH]

Dave can get back with EEAS Band or contine doing what he is doing but nothing is going to sell at less it's an VH reuion thats the only way he is going to get the big album sells and get back playing in the big venus I loved Dave's new album and also think his current tours and stage preformince kicks ass. but the General public dosn't think so of course we live in the Fucked up times where the music world is being run by boy bands pop stars, rappers and pop/hip hop that also has somthing to do with it

Dave doesn't have to do anything in response to a Van Hagar reunion. If Sam Halen wants to get back together, whatever....hard to think of four people who deserve each other more than the Sam Halen lineup.

What Ed, Al and Mike SHOULD be doing is putting the classic lineup back together with Dave.

The Eat 'Em band were ok on record, but were abysmal live. Yeah, yeah, Billy is a great bass player, and Steve Vai is talented, but the instrumental end of that band live amounted to a technically talented guitarist and bassist throwing out flash for the sake of flash. Great for the time, but boring now.

Even Ed used to know when to lay back for the sake of the song.

Dave's new band is rock solid. Best thing Dave can do if Sam, Ed and the rest want to flounder is for Roth to just keep touring and being Dave. Although it's unlikely, I still think eventually Ed and Co. might pull their heads out of their asses long enough to realize the classic lineup was the best.

sometimes I feel sooooo tired about all these endless discussions moving in circles...just sometimes...but better than another hair-thread anyway...
