Why isn't Dave hitting the road this summer?, he always has past years, is he waiting for the brothers to call about the Reunion, or just taking the year off from touring solo?

This had occured to me as well, but without anyone breaking the silence we are not going to have anything like a definitive answer.
We'll just be stabbing in the dark like usual.
I doubt he'd want to take a year off, seems to me that it must have something to do with VH...
The Power Of The Riff Compels Me
Dave is probably waiting for ed who is likely right there saying "remember how we f'd you in '96,,well we'll do it again if you dont watch your step"
silence is golden
Heh....I must simply say that the Van Halen crowd are the most uncommunicative bastards in the history of A-list rock bands.
I'd say its safe to assume that Dave is waiting for a communique to come down from Howdy Doody Mountain.

David is busy working with his old comrades - bonding, working, working- we know his work ethic. When Dave wanted John 5 to record the DLR band album (and my good friend Mike Hartman- God Rest His Soul), sessions started at 6:00 a. Peace to all the VH'ers- Full Bug Baby!
When Dave is quiet..then there's something going on... I take it as good news... If it were over, then Dave would be giving out interviews like candy.
Three time witness to the comeback of the MIGHTY VAN HALEN. And then they faded back into obscurity.

It was John Lowrey who approached Dave initially...
He was a Van Halen freak like the rest of us and had written some material he thought Dave would like...
He contacted Dave's management with the idea of jamming and possibly more...
Dave invited him to stay and hang out, and the result was DLR Band...
Something like that...
Dave realizes if he does another Ribfest, with another guitar player raping the classic VH material, he's gonne be on Ed's shitlist for life.
He wants the damn reunion even more than you or i do.
Right now, it's all about patience & Dave has it in spades.
DLR is awaiting his master's command....
I kid, i kid!

"Brother, your a talented musician, but your also 34 years old...
Leave the rebellious, angsty clown makeup at home & act like a feaking adult, already!"
More like Dave is waiting for Mr. Fingers to sober up long enough to remember how to play all those classic songs he wrote.Originally posted by eddie78

Perhaps Dave should send his Ribfest guitarists over to 5150, to give Ed a refresher course.
Scramby eggs and bacon.
Nah, they never played the shit right anyway.
It's like a bunch of guys at Guitar Center trying to fill the void.
Ed, on his worst day, could outplay any of 'em.
The only guy who captured Ed's raw spontanaeity & reckless abandon was MR. Russ Parrish, late of the Atomic Punks.
He got it.
It's more than just playing the right notes.
It's about feel, tone & making it all look & sound effortless.
Right, Lowery, not Lowrey...Originally posted by eddie78

I kinda agree with the clown makeup stuff, but on the other hand if it was something really cool, i'd be all for it...
He's really awesome though...
I totally reccomend to anyone who hasn't checked out one of his solo releases to get one...
His latest release The Devil Knows My Name is really good and worthy of a listen by any classic Van Halen fan...
John is also featured along with Steve Vai on Bat Out Of Hell III which I haven't heard yet, and has very mixed reviews; mostly poor, but I don't trust that crap anyway...
John rips for sure...
Supremely talented, and yeah, i even liked the dLR Band stuff (grudgingly, though).
But the dang Manson makeup?
It's distracting.
The only cool mofo in full-on makeup was the mighty Space Ace Frehley!
Here here, or in this case hear hear...Toshi and Brian could whip Ed into shape or tear him into shreads. It all depends on Eddie. They could motivate him to the point that he'd have this blinding revelation that he WAS a rockgod OR...fall like Humpty Dumpty off of the wall trying to capture lightning in a bottle again.Originally posted by Terry

If Dave is going to waste time with Eddie and Alice then i like to hear the live stuff he recorded on his last tour.

Hey Elvis- easy on me I'm on your team bro. Well aware my friend -I don't need the scolding. You are a literal stickler hey? Here is what I Meant to convey. John was working with Rob Halford at the same time and Dave simply wanted him 1st in the day. John said he tracked with Dave at 6:00 a and Rob at noon. A pretty amazing schedule don't you think? Cheers!
Yes I do...
John is a true dedicated musician...
And as far as me, you'll get over it...
LMAO!
I'd like to think Dave is staying in shape, vocally and physically, does take some trips to 5150 every now and then, they may even rehearse some songs.
Dave may also be working with Alex and some others on potential VH projects (releasing rare video on DVD, concerts, etc.).
All in all, Dave is doing SOMETHING. He's not one to sit around.
=V V=
ole No.1 The finest
EAT US AND SMILE
Man, i hope it's the latter!
I'd love to see a proper classic VH boxset delivered to me by Xmas.
It makes me sick to see a band as legendary & influential as VH have nothing but the usual on the shelves.
Even crap Jovi has his box-set!
WB should be shot for not forcing some action.
They own the good stuff, right?

Man...if only that were true.
But, realistically, Dave probably hasn't heard a word from anybody, much less been over to anyone's house. Remember, this is the Van Halen bros. we’re talking about here.
He probably is hoping and waiting, just like the rest of us. I'm sure he understands this will probably be the last time this could ever happen, so he is keeping low until he hears different.

Dave is working on the Polka version of "Strummin' with the Devil" with Frank Yankovic and his Polish Polka band.
Is it not possible that Dave and the Van Halens are good friends again and hang out, communicate regularly, and are possibly writing new material but are just waiting to be done with an album to announce a tour?
Quite possible.Originally posted by DLR2007

Maybe they are going back to the 2000 sessions to see what can be worked on from there.
Who knows at this point.
DAVE SHOULD RECORD A HIP HOP VERSION OF A VAN HALEN CLASSIC, TO RE ESTABLISH HIMSELF AS A SOLO ARTIST. LOOK WHAT IT DID FOR AREOSMITH WHO WERE DOWN THE PAN UNTIL, WALK THIS WAY WITH RUN DMC. DAVE LOVES HIP HOP AND ALSO DANCE MUSIC. HE MADE SOME NEW VAN HALEN TRACKS IN 2000 BASED ON THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS
