    The Outback Steakhouse has about as much to do with Australia as The Olive Garden does with Italy. It's a theme restaurant operated out of Florida.

    Ole Rusty is for Dan's takeback, though I'm sure ash will wrestle him for it.

    I don't think I've ever frequented this Outback Steakhouse chain (just like I've never tried Fosters)...still, sounds like a bargain swap.

    Cheers!

    One silver lining, should the proverbial hatchet be buried between Ed and the other half, is that classic shows and recordings could one day see official release. I think with all of the bad blood tension that came out of the Mike A booting, the chances off vault release, short of the retooling of songs, became slim to none. Not over money either. Ed has that system rigged in his favor with regards to Mike's share. We'll just have to wait and see. That comment Mike made sure does align with this rumor, though.

    They got one chain and it's supposed to be Australian food and then they have another chain called Texas Roadhouse. As far as I can tell the food is the same at either place. LOL! They both served this big deep fried onion thing and the steaks, shrimp, and chicken all seem the same. The only thing is the waiters try to be like Paul Hogan in one place and then in the other they do line dancing. It's a total corporate nightmare. Another reason the world has gone to shit.

    well shit. If Mike is coming back to play a few songs with Sam it's worth flying to Australia and buying an expensive ticket to see now.

    Haha! No, it most certainly isn't. I'm just looking further ahead trying to theorize any good that can come out of it. Should this actually happen, I would guess Mike would be in on both of the sets in some way.

    Oh yes, I remember now lol. Sure I've been to one of them long time ago...and strange that I've never been back since. :confused:

    Paul Hogan is pretty much an American these days, as he's suppose to have a shitload of Aussie tax dollars to pay.

    Not if Extreme's opening the show. They'll actually be in Australia in March or April, though.

    I don't think it'll happen as the boys probably don't have it in them to do two catalog shows a night. But don't think that Sam's footprint wouldn't be on Michael Anthony's forehead if kicking him off a life raft is what it took to get back into VH...

    This is true, the demographic outside North America was far more ambivalent towards Van Hagar as evidenced by them opening for Bon Jovi in Europe, IIRC. Did Van Hagar ever even play downunder? I know that Gary Halen did...

    The only thing I could see is Sam and Mike opening for Van Halen as "The Other Half" with their own band lineup, then maybe coming out and jamming for an encore. But even that is very farfetched. Isn't it rumored that VH has another album almost ready?

    My thoughts on this have been echoed lots on this board .
    And that is without wolf ed is just gonna stay home and walk the dog.
    Wolf was the driving force for the reunion , more than likely the release of new music and the subsequent tour.
    It's been said and I somewhat agree no wolf no van .
    We will never see mike in the band unless wolf joins tremonti full time and if that happens ed goes back to being a total random equation.
    To my mind there is no scenario where spammy gets back in the band , or at least gets back in a functioning one.
    And maybe it's this simple ,compare 2004 tour to the last one , which does ed wanna do .
    fuck your fucking framing

    Listen to what Sobolewski says at 1:22



    I gotta admit, after seeing this, it concerns me that there might be some validity to it....

    Think about it: He said just "Me and Sam".... If they planned to go out on the road with Mona and the other dude, that's not something MA that would have to keep a secret.....

    But I also agree with what Lounge said... For a lot of general rock music fans, having both singers might be appealing to those who want to hear all of those fucking ballads....



    Not me, baby.....

    I wouldn't mind seeing Van Halen and Chickenface on the same bill...

    That seems to me like a good bill in a promoters eyes...

    But Edwad would never do it...

    Watch the Mike Anthony clip. I think this rumor has an 89% chance of being true at this point.

    Shockingly, Mr. Tasmania hasn't picked up this and run with it....

    Just a matter of time though, especially since it's concerning Australia....

    That seems to me like a good bill in a promoters eyes...

    But Edwad would never do it...
    The old Ed wouldn't. The new Ed who carries his toy dog around like Paris Hilton might.

    Sam with his huge ego would never do it. The man is rich and cocky and clearly has been emotionally hurt by Ed and no way in hell would he allow himself to be a sideshow.

    Its odd from a business standpoint to do this just for an Aussie tour.
    First Hagar really has zero drawing power outside the US.
    Second for a US based band playing Australia is extremely expensive for assorted reasons including logistics. Its the reason many tours just don't go there despite selling well. The added expense of Hagar and Anthony would eat into that profit and not likely to add a ton to revenue since VH would sell in that market anyway.
    Other reasons would be rehearsal (when do schedules match to have em together), personalities, and just return for the headache. I understand from Hagar POV makes sense but not sure how much added value for the VH side.

    Plus you consider new material in the can already w Dave that puts em well on their way for another record in semi near future. Of course getting anything out that Eddie will sign off on is a longstanding problem but still hard to see that being scrapped. As far as being the surprise alluded to by Eddie remember at the time Hagar was still readily bad mouthing VH so if this goes back to then that would be odd.

    Again its Van Halen so you never know, but financially a one off in Australia tour makes zero sense.

    Not in the slightest.

    "So early June or early July would probably be the best bet for an Australian visit, based on those dates.

    Rumours are also flying that the tour will feature both of the band’s frontmen from across their lengthy career – David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar."


    "Sam and I are gonna being doing some stuff this summer. We got some exciting plans..."


    I'll tell ya, there's better alignment here than on my '90 Cultass Ciera. That's for sure.
