    I Don't Believe Dave Let's Wolfgang In

    assuming the reunion talk rumors are true...

    no way dave goes in for wolfgang as bassist.

    if the wolf is the bassist, then the story becomes as much about the van halens as it does the reunion. dad, uncle, son, all playing on a tour? that's a story.

    and if i know dave's marketing ego, he's not going to want to play backup to the swiss family van halen, marrooned on tour.


    nah, if there's reunion talk, dave's going to be pulling for the full reunion.

    LOL!!!

    Ed is looking at the standpoint of the fact his own father, Jan Van Halen had his sons come on stage to play for an audience when they came over on the boat. Ed is passing the baton like his Dad...the legacy thing as we all know.

    Ed also knows he is a Rock God in his own right...his bro Al knows this as well. Apparently, Ed could never handle and wants to still overshadow the almighty ROTH.....but ya know what?

    No WAY in hell can you make Spanky (Wolfie) upstage Alfalfa (Dave)! Not gonna happen.

    If there is a reunion...and I don't for a fucking second...believe there will be a reunion...

    but if there is...

    and Ed says Wolfie...

    Dave will still do it.

    If any of you don't think he will...you are kidding yourself...

    On his radio show, when Dave spoke about bands reuniting without all the original members, he made if very clear he thought it was OK if the "big players" were still there. It was also clear, he thought of himself and Ed as the "big players."

    However, I don't think he wants this so bad that he will just give in to anything Ed wants. If the promotors don't buy it, and there is no money behind it, and he has his people reading this forum to him he will realize this is not what we've been waiting for for 21 motherfucking years.

    ok, i'm not saying dave would NEVER play with the van halens.

    if CVH reunites completely, then the story is "diamond dave's back!"

    but if dave tours with ed, al and wolf, than the story is equally, "ed plays with his son and his brother." it's about van halen the name, not just van halen the band.

    i really don't think dave would go for this.

    now, he's not going to say that to ed. he's going to say that the crowds want the full deal. he's going to tell ed to bring the kid out for the solo. but he's not going to want to share the story.

    IF there's a reunion...

    That's why I'm not wasting a lot of brain cells speculating all the ifs.

    As much as I'd love a killer reunion of the originals, I'd really hate an embarrassing fiasco more.

    So you think Dave wouldn't rejoin VH...

    for the same reason that Ed said he didn't want Dave in the band...

    IE...

    because 1 person was trying to steal the spotlight?

    I'm about 50-50 split between believing Dave wouldn't have any part of a CVH reunion with Wolfie in it and that Dave would go ahead with it because he thought this was about as good as it was gonna get, reunion-wise.

    It may well be put to Dave by the Van Halens, "Hey, guess what? Wolfie's in the band. You don't like it, you don't have to play with us." What would Dave do at that point? Some of us, including myself, would like to think that Dave would say "see ya" to the Van Halens if it came to that, but what does Dave have left to go to? More of the same far as his solo career goes; doing various things loved by the shrinking number of diehards and pretty much ignored by everyone else.

    I mean, I've pretty much dug what Dave did since he left Van Halen up until about 2002 or so, but redoing Van Halen tunes in bluegrass style, regardless of how WELL it was done...kinda smacks of the bottom of the barrel.

    Exactly.

    And I hope he does. And deep down so does everyone else.

    BT I don't think you should speak for everyone.

    Deep down I really don't care if they do anything, if they do a half-assed reunion without everyone, I REALLY won't care.

    But I'm pretty much over the band aspect of VH, I just don't care about any of them at all. The music is all that's left for me.

    i'm not saying he walks away if this is the ONLY option. i just think he would pull for mike. not really for mike's sake, but so that the focus is on the return of diamond dave. can anyone say that WOULDN'T be on dave's mind?

    though, if ed is 100% stubborn? eh, dave probably budges. but then again, "lawyers" have fucked things up before...

    So, Van Halen is dead to you...you could care less? Call me crazy, but there's still some fire left in ya. Fan that fire dude. Face it, amongst all the seeming finality regarding the state of VH....you managed a mantra-defining statement.

    Don't touch that dial dude...it ain't even summertime yet!!!

    dave has the upper hand more than anyone thinks. he has been deperate at times but this is not the time. dave is on top of his game right now.

    lets see, if dave forces the issue he...... doesnt so it, oh well. but if I were dave I would think ed wants this more than dave.

    if EVH says you dont like it you dont have to play with us? lol.... well good luck to EVH, AVH and WVH when it comes to selling a family show or any kind of show. look how the hagar show sold.


    dave has the upper hand and always has.

    It's the whole Wolfie being involved part of this rumour that is making me skeptical that there's any truth at all to the story. Like his mother is going to let him tour full time with his meth and alcohol addicted father, who's newest professional endeavor has him working with the porn industry. And with Dave??? She hates him, if past rumours are to be believed. Val letting Wolfie tour with Dave just isn't in the cards, IMHO.

    For whatever stock I'm putting in these rumours I'm going to continue believing that it will be a full CVH reunion or nothing. Since there are no actual facts, yet, I'll believe what I want and nothing else. CVH does not include Wolfgang Van Hoagie and my dreams of a CVH reunion won't either.

    I think Dave will go for it, because he'll probably figure this is about as good as it will get it.

    I'm also sure Dave will find a way to make Smoking Loon and Brother Shemp pay for this.

    So is Wolfie gonna have to take a permission slip into school to go out on this tour?

    Will he be missing even more of gym class?
