Ralph Saenz: If You're Gonna Do A VAN HALEN Reunion, You Can't Have Your Son Playing

[Zen Halen]

Love Steel Panther! Love DLR! So much punani so little time. Thanks Dave for influencing so many of us. Roth on!

[ELVIS]

Good timing...

[FORD]

It might have been better if Eddie had done it like Ronnie Wood did in his 3/5 of a Faces reunion. Woody brought his son Jesse into the band as a rhythm guitarist, not as a "replacement" for Ronnie Lane or Rod Stewart. (though he did have other replacements for those two. Glenn Matlock was there because Ronnie Lane is dead, and Mick Hucknall was there because Rod Stewart might as well be)

[DONNIEP]

It wouldn't have been as big a deal (read: disappointment) if they had brought in some other dude who'd actually, I don't know, played bass in a band before. You know, maybe someone who had actually paid some dues over the years. Maybe somebody that could even do a decent job of covering Mikey's missing vocals. Not a clone or some tribute band dude, just somebody that could pull it off without forever looking like somebody who really has no business onstage with VH. Of course, a full on reunion would have been the way to go. And no matter who they picked to stand up there, it would have been a disappointment. But perhaps not so much of one if the guy had a little cred.

[Romeo Delight]

Ralph Saenz? I think I would be more interested in Ralph Maccio's take on the current state of Van Halen....he is at least equally relevant

[ELVIS]

Wolfie's good...

He has some cred...

He's just not Van Halen...

[ELVIS]

Ralph Saenz?

No...

Michael Starr...

[DONNIEP]

Wolfie's good...

He has some cred...

He's just not Van Halen...

Perhaps now that he's played in that other band. But sure as hell not when he showed up at that press conference...

[DLR Bridge]

He did get his feet wet on the "My Dad Is Out Of His Fucking Gourd" tour '04.

[DLR Bridge]

Now repeat after me kid, "I will not, under any circumstances, go near Daddy's vault, EVER!!!"

[vandeleur]

If I was jaded and couldnt be arsed with music any more and playing with my big brother and son did it for me I would stop coming on here because its upsetting to see your not buying into it

Nah...Ed and Al and Wolfie and Dave are all logged in here every day. Right?

[doobiewah]

I wonder if they put him through RNR Boot Camp: groupies, drugs and booze 101.

dave might now he has gone full slap head , wolfie is splitting pussy all day all night. He shags them on a bed of oakland hd footage tapes. He lights his bifta's with rare and unreleased tapes just for the fun of it.

Maybe if it was 30 years ago.

He probably goes "hey, can I play Eruption with my tongue in your ass?"

[doobiewah]

They probably dropped him off at Miley's place. Hope he fucked her good.

[DONNIEP]

Ah, that probably wouldn't qualify as "RNR Boot Camp". But it would be more of a start than having him show up and have piped in vocals.

[vandeleur]

Hey if paul stanley can mime so can wolfo, at least paul stanleys band has hair

[doobiewah]

By hair, you mean wigs! At least Gene's got one, the most horrible hairpiece ever conceived.

[doobiewah]

Ah, that probably wouldn't qualify as "RNR Boot Camp". But it would be more of a start than having him show up and have piped in vocals.

The "fucking" part of the RNR Boot Camp, at least.

[BumBahDeeDah]

WHO CARES?! And correct me if I'm wrong but I never heard Al or Ed or Dave call this current Van Halen a "reunion".

[DONNIEP]

Hey if paul stanley can mime so can wolfo, at least paul stanleys band has hair

Paul does have nice hair. Probably the best money can buy. And there ain't no shame in that.

[doobiewah]

Paul does have nice hair. Probably the best money can buy. And there ain't no shame in that.

Gene, on the other hand, has the worst wig ever. HE looks like my fucking aunt!

His chest merkin

was it ever billed as a reunion tour? pretty sure Dave & co. billed themselves as a new band. people need to let the whole Mikey thing go. Nothing wrong wif Wolfie

Wolfie's cool.

[ELVIS]

people need to let the whole Mikey thing go.

Why ??

[BiG_Troubles]

because VH evolved and their fans have not. kind of embarrassing no? Mike has moved on. it would be the equivalent of having Ben Stillar's job in those stupid Focker movies... what was that job again? jk settle yourself

[DONNIEP]

because VH evolved and their fans have not. kind of embarrassing no?

VH evolved...I don't see much evolution going on there. Maybe this summer's mega tour will be different, might be some evolution there.

[vandeleur]

Mike's dead man , gone bought the Hagar cock.
It's sad so sad but let's be honest the last thing dave needs up on the stage at the moment is someone hitting the right notes.

First off, Sammy didn't have any cock left after Ed gobbled it down to a wee nub

Yeah, I don't think even Mikey could do much to help Dave at this point. I mean, aside from hooking Dave up with his hair guy...

[BiG_Troubles]

when people see Mike in Chickenfoot, nobody says "hey, where's Ed, Al and Dave?"...

[chefcraig]

Ralph Saenz? I think I would be more interested in Ralph Maccio's take on the current state of Van Halen....he is at least equally relevant

No kidding...plus the fact that he handed Steve Vai his own ass with both hands in Crossroads...

[WARF]

Ralph Saenz is the only person who could replace David Lee Roth and i'd still buy a ticket!

[Dave's Bitch]

Wolfie's cool.

No he isn't

[ZahZoo]

No kidding...plus the fact that he handed Steve Vai his own ass with both hands in Crossroads...

Actually it was Ry Cooder that gave Vai some proper Blues schoolin...

[DONNIEP]

Ralph Saenz is the only person who could replace David Lee Roth and i'd still buy a ticket!

I don't know man, just let Mikey sit in on a couple songs with Ralph and it sounds more like Van Halen than this current abortion.

[Dave's Bitch]

I don't know man, just let Mikey sit in on a couple songs with Ralph and it sounds more like Van Halen than this current abortion.

But what about Wolfie?, Wolfie's cool
