If Dave tours solo this summer - will you be there?

[DaveTheScott]

We all know the sisters probably aren't going to get off their arses and do anything...so the question is if (more like when) dave rolls out solo, will you be at the show?

[NATEDOG001976]

I thought VH was touring next summer?

[ace diamond]

hell yes!

[PETE'S BROTHER]

definately

[diamondsgirl]

Yup and I'm guessing Dave will bite his bottom lip like he always does when he sees me.

[VAiN]

You bet your ass I'm there!!

[GO-SPURS-GO]

Ha!

[Panamark]

Depends where and when, would prefer the halens
there too !

[ZahZoo]

I just don't see this happening unless the Van Halen's announce a new artistic direction other than sitting on their lazy assses...

My guess is Dave is now in Michael Anthony mode... dabbling in hobbies and generally sitting around the house waiting for the bat phone to ring...

We all know where that path leads...

the road to nowhere

Same set list with better priced tickets? Why the Hell not?

[VAiN]

Exactly! Maybe one or 2 deep tracks and that's it - but i'll take it!

[IceCreamBlondie]

If that's the case, I'm sure as hell gonna be there!

..Ummm..not being one of Eddies bootlickers and dicksuckers (and I'm not saying you are, of course)

I would absolutely go see Dave....I have yet to buy a ticket to a Roth show that wasn't worth my money. If he strays from the Partridge Family and starts his own band, there's more than likely a good reason, and is surrounded by a badass band of musicians.

Fuckinay!......ROTH'NROLL MUTHFUCKAS!!!!!!

[Southpaw]

depends on the venue to tell you the truth... oh no a BYoung sighting? no thanx

[Sensible Shoes]

Hell yes I'll be there! Because not only will I get to see Dave, I'll get to see my friends too! No better party than that!

Are you suggesting Dave will guest bass for the Waboritas???

[Guitar Shark]

If VH replaces Wolf with Mona, that will be the last straw.

[DaveTheScott]

Here's the scenario: Wolf hits up Pops for a cut of the action, he refuses, kicks him out of the house, then the sisters do an interview with Entertainment Tonight saying Wolfie's crazy and out of the band. Wolfie starts his own whip cream line and joins Steel Panther. Dave remains quiet. Then, Alexis votes himself out of the band because after all these years, he just can't take their shit anymore. Dave bangs Ed's new wife and then quits. Wolfie says fuck it and puts out a solo record with him playing every instrument and Dave on guest vocals, with a tour selling Wolfie's whip cream and Dave's art. Spam and Alex get back together and call themselves the Other Side but shit on Michael Anthony, who once again learns about the new band - and the fact that he's not in it - on Facebook. Mike says fuck it and starts a pop band with his two daughters and that Adam Lambert guy. Ed realizes the whole thing is over, moves to Denmark and cryogenically freezes himself so he can lay low for another 75 years until everyone else sees it his way and apologizes.

Van Halen releases 3 new records, a DVD, and sells out a world tour with none of the original members since Ed never got a prenup and his (new) old lady kept the rights to the name.

Even then, we all continue to log in and respond to "When will Van Halen get back together?".

Cheers. No, you can't have that seven minutes of your life back.

[ZahZoo]

No way... Guest bassing for the Swatoritas, possibly!!

Give it time... Ed will find a way to blame Dave's EMT action as a loyalty dump on the band so he can justify his next lame-ass move...

I'd go see Dave without a doubt... I just don't think he's gonna make that move in this chess game he's playing with the Van Partridge family at this stage...

Right now Dave appears to be holding his high ground and operating in a purely strategic defensive mode while Edweird is honeymoonin and blaming the fans for his demons & lack of artistic output...

[ULTRAMAN VH]

I am predicting a new reality tv series with Dave displaying his paramedic skills, similar to what Steven Seagal is doing on the new series Lawman.

Stephen Seagal is a big, fat, FRAUD!

Sorry, Officer....

[Terry]

Yeah, I'd probably go see it.

Haven't yet left a Roth solo show feeling unsatisfied.

I mean, if Van Halen Mark 4 is just gonna be sweating to the oldies, well, frankly that's just a waste of Roth and Eddie even working together; while Van Halen without Roth can't really pull off the old material since Roth is the voice of Van Halen, Roth can go out there with a competent band (as he always does), play that classic material and have it sound good.

See, every time after I saw Roth play solo, I did wonder if the results would have been any better had Eddie, Alex and Mike been there. Comparing Roth solo live in 2006 vs. Van Halen Mark 4 in 2008, while Mike wasn't there, his presence wouldn't have made the difference. The difference being that there virtually was no difference. Roth solo 2006 and Van Halen 2008 were different only in that the Van Halens were there to give the CVh tunes a stamp of authenticity by their presence, but the Roth 2006 solo band actually played the tunes better. Sad to say, but that's how it came off to me.

Plus, Dave solo means smaller venues, which generally means better sound and tickets that are reasonably priced and fairly easy to get.
