    Arrow What band members should make up VAN HALEN???

    If you could merge the two bands of David Lee Roth, who would be in the future lineup of Van Halen.


    David Lee Roth
    Steve Vai
    Billy Sheehan
    Eddie Van Halen
    Greg Bissonette

    Ushers would be Alex Van Halen and Michael Anthony!!

    Or would you just leave it to the original Quartet??

    I'd leave it as it was, which was damn near immaculate.
    I've got the cure you're thinkin' of.

    I think Alex is a better drummer than Bissonette. While Billy is the better bassist, he can't sing backup as well as Michael Anthony can. Leave Van Halen as they WERE, and the Yankee Rose band as they were.

    Van Halen as it were is the only Van Halen that matters. David Lee Roth's band mates after that are all fine, but not comparable to classic Van Halen. I would take a drunk, slow Eddie from 81 over Vai on his best day ever. Billy on bass is cool, but again Mike is classic and Id stick with classic shit. Alex today is garbage, no doubt. But even Al today would blow Bissonette off the stage.

    Dave and Ed are all that matter. Keep Michael because he isn't a troublemaker and has great background vocals. Dump Al cause he is a useless a*#hole. Bissnette is fine or any other decent drummer that isn't a troublemaker. Sheehan is essentially a frustrated guitar player that is full of himself. Forget him.

    Doesn't even matter if Sheehan was technically a better bass player than Mike Anthony, or if Vai was better than Eddie, etc.

    Ed, Dave, Mike and Al are Van Halen. Those four, and more specifically Ed and Dave at the core, had the chemistry that none of the other abberations and solo lineups have quite been able to match.

    That being said, it would be interesting to see, say, Roth, Ed, Sheehan and Bissonette on the road. Not billed as Van Halen, per se. Would just be interesting to see Ed play with a drummer other than his brother to a paying audience (1985 Farm Aid, Sammy's Cabo Wabo jams and Saturday Night Live appearances don't count). Would be willing to bet Bissonette could push Ed a little harder, and having Sheehan breathing down your back door would light a fire under Mr. Finger's ass.

    As for Mike Anthony's nuts-in-a-vice background vocals (and those annoying shrieks he used to do live)....not really ever one of my favortie points of the classic lineup, but hard to imagine the songs without them.
