    If nothing else a ten minute walk for a piss is becoming more and more problematic for the Van Halen audience demographically speaking.

    I missed Unchained at the last tour because a drum solo just isn't enough time in some of these arenas.
    We need to find a bunch of those suits they wore in the movie DUNE that just recycles your fluids to liquid...then fix them to convert them to more beer. You would be your own self contained beer machine and wouldn't miss a beat.

        How many of you would set your flux capacitor to US Fest 83? That fucker had over 300,000. Talk about an event for the ages.
        Possibly. The '96 VMA's were in September, so realistically you're talking about 1997.....

        Had they coordinated it with a few other bands, it's possible it could've happened, but I highly doubt VH with an opening act would've cut the mustard....

            Jesus playing a Warlock bass. That's pretty shocking.

                Well...they could do it if they included a few other big 80's bands that are VH opener material. Cheap Trick, Def Lep, Triumph, Scorpions, etc... Do like they did with Sammy in 88 with Monsters Of Rock.

                ps - Metallica PWND that fucking show at the LA Coliseum!!!!!!!!

                                        I hate to make this a Cheap Trick thread, but this is FUCKING BUDOKAN! The original shizzle. How many of you fucks were on your skateboards & rollerskates hearing this song? The reason I love these guys so much is they rock & they are goofy. Just like Van Halen. VH can melt your face with Unchained, then roll right in to Big Bad Bill without missing a beat and make you laugh. These 2 bands together would be a damn show for the ages.

                                        And just imagine Zander & Roth sharing a night out on the town in their heyday.

                                            Now, had Roth stayed in the band, they were on the verge of stadiums in the mid to late '80's.....

                                            Amen!! I don't even think VH could pack arenas without something new and damn near chart topping. Definately not another nostalgia tour... Only way they could pull a draw similar to 07/08 would be to team up with another big name band.

                                            On their own... I think today, they'd be about where DLR Band left off before 2007... Ribfests, county fairs and the washed up casino tour circuit with the likes of Ted Nugent, Foreigner and Steve Miller...

                                                        That's a bold statement.

                                                        I am by no means a blind VH stroker, but cmon.....

                                                        VH would NOT be doing Sturgis and the like.

                                                        As much as I'd like to think they could pull the fans with or without new material, I dont think these guys egos would allow them to do the D list circuit.

                                                        Yeah we all know where Dave ended up. We know Van Hagar opened for Bon fucking Jovi.

                                                        But the mighty Van Halen? I just can't see it. Since achieving stardom these guys have never done anything less than arenas. Including 23 years later. As a band they have never had to watch their popularity fade. I say they'd go big or stay home.

                                                        Ride the big wave all the way.
