If Eddie's playing is like a couple years ago, what difference does it make what's going on on bass.

All I was saying...is that

1. a lot of people say that Dave's voice sucks compared to 1984. And I do not agree.

2. not many people say that Mike's voice sucks compared to 1984. But, it does.

I argue that Mike's former background vocals are not a valid reason for Mike to be there now.

IMO, the only valid argument at this point is that its not CVH without all 4. And if that fact stops anyone from going to a show, thats their option. But, they are foolish to think that it won't sound the same because Mike's not there. It wouldn't sound the same WITH Mike there. They all sound different. Some sound better (Dave), some sound worse(Mike).

Here's another spin...For all we know, Wolf sounds more like Mike did in 1984 than Mike does now.

LOL.

That's a nice thought....lets hope it's true! Haha, I told myself I wouldn't get excited over this...but here I am...anticipating a reunion without any news from the band members.

Man, Mike must have done something worse than hang out with Sammy for Ed to be sober and still be this pissed.

Any ideas?

I think Ed just needed an excuse to bump Mike to get Wolf in there. When Mike opened his mouth about Ed...there it was. His fate was sealed.

That is part of it but I think that there is more to it than that.

In away i don't blame mike for holding out last tour he was payed a salary and was cut out of a lot of money . remember his interview

thats my point

everyone mentions Dave's...but think somehow Mike will sound the same. Well, he doesn't. At all. His voice is flat and tired.

I only saw 2 clips of Mike's singing lately and I agree but my guess is it's from a lack of practice or no one kicking his ass to do his best.

I'm split due to the fact that if Dave's back it would be best to get Mike in there for the CVH thing 1 last time ..however..
if Ed's more inspired with the kid in there, he'll play better .
If Ed's playing is better, the Dave/Ed dynamic will be that much stronger. And Dave's voice won't be an issue if he's been practicing with these guys regularly since it will be in shape.

This might sound odd but think about this: I don't think Mike showing up at the ceremony eariler this year and saying I love ya man to Ed after Ed trashed him six ways to Sunday helped his cause in the slightest.

And another new rumour...

It means loads of booze again when the tour is officially announced, and... big loads once more when it's postponed one more fucking time.

Maybe there are way more chances to see VH reunited when they pay visit to Ed in rehab next time.

Sadly this sometimes seems more possible than an actual reunion tour.

Possibly Baaaaaa-lance??

He didn't play a note on VDIII, even the sheep know that. Or the three failed Van Hagar songs from 2004.
