Sad about Mike, but its not the worst thing to happen, trust me.
Simply, without Mike, there is no real reunion!

Does Ed have no understanding of what the fans want? Ifhe is going to insist on going out on the Cash Grob 06 tour one would think he would put the most lucrative package possible together.Originally posted by The Guy
Good news and bad news.
First with the bad, it doesn't look like Mike is willing to be a part of this as of right now. Things however are not set in stone. He is leaning to sticking with Sammy.
Now for the good news. Its pretty much a done deal now with Dave coming back. Wolfie as of now is in Van Halen. Like I said last week, they are absolutley ripping through the old material like crazy.
I have seen it personally and I can't believe that a kid his age has the chops he has, and not just on the bass.
I really think people will be very impressed by this and the doubters will become believers. Sad about Mike, but its not the worst thing to happen, trust me.
I think the truth about Anthony is that he is refusing to work for the $5 an hour sideman rate he agreed to in 04 just for the privilege of spending months on the road with a drunken control freak and DLR. This way Eddie gets to say Mike said no and prevents him from looking like an ass while putting cash into Wolfgang's account.
How long do you really think Eddie will put up with the press criticizing his kid? Whether its his weight, his playing or just the fact that he is not Mike Anthony it will happen early and often. How long will Roth put up with anyone paying attention to anyone but him?

Yeah but 3/4 of the original with an additional Van Halen blood line added to the line up could be better...Originally posted by VH LINKS SUCKS

Im optimistic.
I figure Dave and Ed tearing it up on stage is better than Dave solo and Ed with Sham... Or worse- Gary.:eek:

I don't know if Ed really cares what the fans want. Based on what we've all heard (rumors/inside info/etc.),
Wolfie LOVES the first 6 albums and can play a mean bass...Ed HATES Mike and has talked of replacing him for decades...
in Eddies mind, this is a no-brainer...kick Mike out, put Wolfie in. I want Mike to be there, as much as anyone else here...
but, from Mike's standpoint, if he was offered the gig, I can't blame hime for turning it down or holding out for a better offer.
He's been boned by Eddie for years now...and it's only gotten worse and worse...not to mention, he'd be all alone in this deal...NO allies whatsoever!!

Without Dave, Mike, Alex and Eddie as CVH at least one more time (especially those who never saw it before) would be a real shame.
I don't have a problem with Dave, Wolfgang, Eddie and Alex doing something new especially if it's good.
However, it wouldn't be a reunion and they shouldn't bill themselves as such in 2007 if they tour..

I think it was just called 'Van Halen 2004 Tour'.
they fucked up everything about promotion in 2004....keeping it secret and then...coming up with half assed statements wondering why nobody went ballistic...
where were the big fanfares? press conferences? just nothing...some rehearsel-clips on MTV and that was it...I guess, ed refused to do anything for the public...the "I am no rockstar"-attitude...let the music speak...we don't need any promotion...
feed the beast, baby...just let dave do it...

On Mike's blog he posted the following:
"Michael Anthony said...
People have been asking..."Are you in or are you out of any reunion tour?? I want to let everyone know that I have have NOT been contacted by anybody about being part of any VH reunion tour. I'll keep ya posted. Thanks, Michael
7:12 AM "
http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blo...55257299958 0
So, how can Mike not be willing to be part of a Reunion if he even hasn't been asked yet??
Care to take a stab at that one, Guy?

Good move, Vin.
I was thinkin' of finding this thread myself when I saw that earlier, but I figured you'd probably be over here like a top-fueler.
And yes folks, it probably is Mike, 'cause his blog has that feature enabled where he has to approve all the posted responses.
Whatcha say, Guy? "Enquiring" minds, 'n all that.

Mike is somebody that they could call in at the last minute,
no doubts.. He would remember every single one of those
old tunes.. (Just ask the punks)
I can also see the sense in Ed's son filling in on Bass as
they rehearse all the old classics at home... Man, what a great
experience for Wolfgang ??? Imagine being part of Ed/Al
rediscovering their oldest and best material.
Some of that stuff they wouldnt have played for over 20 years...
I think its kinda cool at this stage...
Im not losing hope that MA will get the call once things
are closer...
Well it did give the Van Hagar era fans a chance to see that lineup one more time.Originally posted by Vinnie Velvet

Definitely not Aerosmith. They're still gloating that VH couldn't replace them.
(Sorry. This response is regards to getting Aerosmith to open for a CVH reunion.)

Go ask momma what it means. I just saw her down at the local Yank ‘N Pull offering $3 blowjobs and something called a “Sasquatch Fuck”.
How much did you offer? More than likely the action you could ever get is propositioning little 12 year olds with candy.

Update
Its true that Wolfgang is now an official member of Van Halen.
What that means is that they have every intention of touring with him in 2007.
Mike has not been contacted by Edward and probably won't be either. I cannot go into detail as to why, but there are good reasons and only a few know exactly why. I'll leave it at that.
Dave, though not officially back yet is indeed back. There is hope to make the announcement fairly soon.
An album is in the works, what is not set in stone is just how many vocal tracks there wil be on it.
Things look really good.

Thanks for the update but "looking good" is a matter of perspective. Ed dictating terms and his track record of late of marginal playing (see Rise and Catherine) leads me to believe this album is likely closer to III than II.Originally posted by The Guy

Ed, seriously, grow a pair and do the solo album you keep trying to turn every VH project of late into. I realize you won't have a lead singer to scapegoat if it isn't well received but I think its time to man up.
The more I hear the more I am getting turned off on this project.
If the porn sound track is representative of where Ed is at he needs to call it a career. The tank is beyond empty. Combined with III and the BOBW tracks I don't see how anyone can hold out hope that a new album would be anything but a commercial flop and a critical blood letting of what is left of the band and legacy that is Van Halen. Why Roth wants to be a part of this is becoming more and more difficult to comprehend.

Well, its entirely possible the 3 or 4 or 5 tracks that were recorded with Dave in 2000 may see the light of day with a new release.Originally posted by TheArchitect

Coupled with a few new tracks that Dave may write lyrics and melodies for, you have the potential of a full album.
New music may be the reason why Dave is interested. Its entirely possible, while he may not have been down to 5150 yet, Dave has heard some of the new stuff Ed's been working on.
If Dave thought it was shit, there's no way he would be considering coming back. But if he thought there was something there, he'd be down with it.
Besides what Ed has done on his own (porn soundtrack), we haven't heard any of this *new* VH stuff.
But we do know that the stuff they recorded in 2000 was reported by Dave and Mike (and The Guy ) as kick-ass, classic VH material.
The thing we have to take into account is that Ed's track record WITHOUT Dave has been SHIT.
With him (ie: MWM, CGTSNM), its been great.

Any word on if Dave has actually been to 5150 yet?
Good point... since there's a lot of newer folks let me clarify:Originally posted by rustoffa

LOL... I haven't seen a good chain yanking (beach-front property sales) like this since Michael Jackson (famous rumor author who proved full of shit around 1999/2000) over at the Dome (Pleasure Dome former discussion board hosted at the Official Van-Halen web site) had a captive audience (sheep who believed)!!
Call me a skeptic... too many creative writers have come and gone before this one.
I'll believe it when I see it.
No point in getting our hopes up just yet. Ed is so hard to get along with it seems like a explosion waiting to happen.
Well then, if that's true, we won't have a real reunion after all and yet another incarnation of Van Halen.Originally posted by The Guy

This really sucks and hopefully Dave is against touring with this lineup if Mike is indeed out!
I just wish Eddie would get off his ass and confirm this in the press instead of other publications indicating it.
Fuck Deadhead.
This is NOT a reunion tour if the bass player is not in the band, and I will not be interested in anything released by this latest Ed Van Halen "project", nor will I be interested in seeing any shows.
Tell Ed to stop being such an immature pussy, and make it a REAL reunion, or don't fucking bother.
He already is fucking up anything he does. Why drag Roth into this if Ed is going to just going to ruin it for everyone involved?
