I've been giving this some thought as of late - We all want VH to reunite, but what motives do VH have for doing it?
I mean Ed's not known for giving the fans what they want.
For the fans it's looking highly likely that something is set to happen here, but what do Ed, Dave and Al get? (I've missed Mike as he is/has not been involved in any of the talks between parties at present)
The first thing they'll get is a big stack of money - 1 Million USD per show to be exact, plus whatever for an album. That's one incentive. But is it enough? Don't forget the Van Hagar 04 was a cash grab, but Ed wasn't happy with that.
We've heard Dave talk about "needing closure", now I think this is closer to the mark. Dave's honest about it, he wants closure, Ed on the other hand need's closure to restore and preserve the VH legacy - without this Ed will never get VH into the Fall of Hall.
