Let's not BS ourselves folks....

[DR CHIP]

Go onto youtube.com and find the recent Ed/Chesney performance of Jump and be honest.....

Dave is FAR better off w/out Ed and Alex....Ed just SUCKS ASS...

He looks so bad dancing around on stage, he can't play anymore, and it is just embarrasing as hell to me to watch him now....

Hey, I love VH as much as anybody else, but facts are facts and truth is truth....

VH is a memory and a good one at that....a VH reunion would forever go down in flames....

You can BS yourself and believe a reunited VH would rock, but folks I am calling it for what it is....Ed SUCKS ASS.....

[The_KiD]

I do believe Ed's hay day has long passed... But hey, what do us fans know..

Yep.. As Dave said, "if they wait much longer, they will be using walkers and wheel chairs"

It's such a damn shame that Eddie fell for Danniels' horseshit back in 1996. He played like a madman on the VDIII tour, and probably would have turned out a great album if Dave had been there putting the songs together.

Granted, Ed took some hits in his personal life after that tour. Some he may well have deserved, like the divorce, others, like the cancer I wouldn't wish on anybody.

But other musicians go through disease and depression and God knows what else and many of them come out on top of it, some stronger than ever.

The 2004 Velveetapalooza Train Wreck would seem to indicate that Eddie isn't among them. And that's a fucking tragedy, even if he's been a chronic asshole for the last 22 years

You try being around roy as much as Ed has since VAN HALEN parted ways and you would be in the same shape. His old lady left him, he had cancer and a hip replacement. DAVE SEND HELP ASAP!

[POJO_Risin]

Yup, I'll agree wholeheartedly.

I remember the first time I saw the Humans Being song on MTV and for a Van Hagar track, I actually found myself headbanging (just a little) to the riff. Later I found out that The Round Rocker had almost NOTHING to do with the song. It made sense then as to why (musically) it was alright. Then came the TWO... MWM and CGTSNM!!! Fucking LOVED them!!!

Edward's playin' seemed to be at another peak as opposed to the endless valleys he keyboarded his way through with Hagar.

Now, flashforward to 2004 and those AWFUL songs done for the Van Hagar "reunion" FLOP!!!

Beyond fucking pathetic (even by Van Hagar standards) and further pissed on the legacy of a once great band. I don't think Dave would've touched those songs with a ten foot pole. Unlike Spam Hagar, Ed and Co. cannot dangle a bucket of fried chicken, expect lyrics and participation in a song that sucks from Dave.

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah...but through the Hagar years...spED could still play live...

Now he sounds like Tiny Tim playing tiptoe throught the tulips...

christ...he even sounds like him...

Dunno about that?

Sure, I learned a LOT of tricks on guitar from watching his solo on Live Without A Singer but I've seen clips of that Balance tour, I walked out 15 minutes into a '93 show (that my brother scored us a stellar package for FREE!!!) and he sucked. No spontaneity to speak of whatsoever. His licks were like an old, worn out back of tricks. Nothing inspiring for a guitar playa at all, IMO.

Marky,

With your talent, I'm sure it would sound just fine.

Are you and Mary going to crank up anymore Blondie songs for me?

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAASE!!!

Dunno if you know the song "Will Anything Happen" by them? I used to do a Halenized version of it years back. You should give it a listen and I'm sure you'd get the same vibe on the axe.

Anyway, I WANT more Panamark and Panamary tunes and like NOW!!!

Mate, send me ANYTHING!!!

You two sound EPIC and especially doing a song that I love so much, from one of my favorite bands and one that's become a very personal one.

What I'm sayin' is SURE, send me ANYTHING that you two cook up.

I'll email you "Will Anything Happen" right now. I'll also look through old casettes and see if I can find an old recording of our cover version. I had it laced with EVH licks ALL OVER the song. My tone was good as well.

I still think Dave hit in on the head, personally...a three month tour across the states so that everybody can move on...those who never had the opportunity to see REAL Van Halen finally can, and at the end, take a bow and move on peacefully. Then any future musical endeavors on anybody's part can be whatever they are without "Van Halen" necessarily hanging over it...

The clock's ticking, big time...if it's going to happen, I personally think there needs to be an announcement before the year is out...because it'll probably take at least a year to straighten out the legalities and get three months worth of a tour set up...maybe even a new song or two to push behind it...throw out a box set or a CD/DVD Rhino reissue thingie...another best of will sell (as a CD/DVD combo), so long as it focuses on classic VH (and why wouldn't it, if they're pushing a Dave reunion) and has cleaned up, professional live footage from back in the day...'81...U.S. festival...'84...whenever...

Ed can probably eek out three months of touring...he'll have off nights...so will Dave...Mike and Al too, I'm sure...

The difference is this - I'll take an off night with Ed & Dave 1000 times over before I take a perfect night with Ed & anyone else. That's that.

It CAN happen...WILL it happen is another matter...

Shit or get off the pot, kids...
