“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”― Stephen Hawking
Wow, he finally contributes something VH related, albeit Van Hagar related, instead of just weird political rhetoric.
Eddie was on another planet long before the 2004 deal with Hagar. That's a fact, and thankfully why that was the end.
Does that mean you're interested in a wager too?
I could spew out that I don't agree, but I think all of us have been around long enough to realize that when it comes to this group of people, particularly Edward Lodewijk and Alexander Arthur Van Halen, that absolutely ANYTHING is possible....
But let's pretend for a second that it happens....
You don't honestly think that Van Velveeta would match the attendance that they had this past tour, do you? Sure, they had some mediocre crowds early in the tour, but the last half of the tour was damn strong crowd-wise.... I don't see two hours of "uh, dig it ya'll, love love love" coming anywhere near to selling out arenas or ampitheaters.....
In terms of Mike, if Bette were to return, there's no way he would WITHOUT Mike....
So, could it happen? Sure it could....
I just hope not....

Yechhh..."Coming to a livestock show in your area next summer: David Hasselhoff & Kitt, the latest version of REO Speedwagon and the reconstituted Van Halen!"

Come early! Parking is limited.
Eddie Trunk would be front and center!
I wouldn't be surprised if Ed brought Hagar back. You'd think that after all the shit Hagar said in his book, and all the sniping that it wouldn't happen. Cherone coming back would be the real surprise.
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
Well Va, sadly, it took Wolfgang posting a video of him playing a Van Hagar era tune, for some people to even discuss something VH related. Some people that totally ignored the tour, and probably one of, if not the best, book about Van Halen that's ever been written. Not to mention a live chat with the author of said book. Seems we have members that would rather talk Van Hagar, than Van Halen, as a means to purport their fandom of the band they've basically been ignoring.
Interesting, to say the least.

fuck your fucking framing
I look at it this way Twona. There's a reason Wolf is posting himself playing a Van Hagar song. Especially after just coming off a tour with Dave. Ed will do whatever Wolf wants, and will definitely do whatever it takes to set Wolf up for the rest of his life.
Only a fool would underestimate the buying power of Van Hagar fan.
Say what you want about Clichegar, but he's basically a happy go lucky guy. Purely from a fun stand point, what would be more fun? Another tour with that miserable fucking Dave? Or a tour with Clichegar? Think about that, before you answer. By the way, anybody that thinks Dave is anything but a miserable person, think about this. Exactly who from Dave's past, is still associated with Him? Ed and Al? Only for the money and the music. Definitely not for the fun, or the relationship. John 5? Sparingly. Does anyone not find it odd that virtually everyone that has ever been associated with Dave, has exited his life? I know a lot of you delusional motherfuckers want to believe the guy you see on stage and in public, is that same guy 24/7, but he's not. FACT!!
I know how everyone here likes to speculate and pretend they know everything; but if people take a sec to look at who took the video...it is Jef Moll, who says he's recording Engineer for Alter Bridge, Tremonti, and Wolf. He also has a post from 5150 from Spring of 2015 so it could be an old video from then if he was visiting. And Wolf purposely said 'just messin' around.'
Why speculate the worst possible thing that could happen to this band and send that bad juju into the Universe?
Same ole song and dance...
Why are you even commenting? You don't even support them anymore.
What the fuck is a fan of this band supposed to do, other than speculate, since they refuse to give any information as to what they are, or are not, doing at any given time?
Who the fuck is acting or pretending like they know everything? We are doing exactly what you suggested we are doing. Speculating.
Go read Greg's book. Oh that's right, you've washed your hands of this band. Liar.
Geez my feelings about the band are a tad too important to you for some reason. You should chill out a bit.
I did not say not to speculate. I said why speculate the worst when there is some info available that could easily explain the situation.
And if you go back and read my previous posts I said I have NOT washed my hands of this band...just more interested in the future than the past.
If it's that important to you that I buy Greg's book, I will buy one and give it away. Who needs one?
Hearing Wolf play that makes me nauseous...lets hope VH goes quietly into that good night like they should have in 1985..which makes me wonder about the chat comment saying that VH would have been revered like the Beatles..would have been cool but would we have gotten the Roth solo lps without Eddie responding by fucking up the band?
Maybe you would appreciate what is or is not in this bands future, if you read what it actually took for them to make it to where they did. I don't give one fuck if you buy Greg's book. Obviously you think you know it all anyway.
I hope you are as joyful with their future, as I am their past. I don't give one fuck about their future. There is not one thing they could possibly do in the future, that would live up to their past, other than release an old live show on video. That's it. Anything else will be sub par. A shell of what once was. "Oooh, hey, I'm only interested in their future. But I want to go see live show after live show of them only performing from their past". Fucking hypocrite.
as much a fan I am, I came to realize during the 1984 tour that all VH is interested in is MONEY$$. Nothing wrong with that btw....... If ever the HAGAR ERA IS EVEN CUNTSIDERED ...........VH SHOULD PULL THE FUCKING PLUG already! thank you good night!
You have some serious reading comprehension problems.
You don't care about anything but the past, but you don't think I shouldn't comment here because you think I don't support the band. You think living in the past is supporting the band? Yeah, I'm the hypocrite. I guess no one should comment unless they agree with you about everything.
You're right...I shouldn't comment. I should have never come back here. Thanks for making that clear.
Cheese this, Velveeta that, Ed cringes when he hears the Van Hagar songs...you guys are delusional. The only thing Ed and his brother care about are dollar signs. And if they think they can get paid touring with Sam...you can bet your ass you'll be seeing this on the next tour...
American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.
You love that walk
Has any speculated about a tour with Sam and Dave? It could happen. If it meant a total CVH reunion for half a show would anyone be interested? They could call it the bury the hatchett tour.
I was at the Tampa show 3rd row, Vic was shit, Hagar was an annoying prick and we walked out early.
Were you on his little onstage grandstand of fatties?
Dave would cut his balls off first , though I said the same about the Dave Sam tour
I just read the 25 posts I've made since I came back a couple weeks ago, and I don't see anything bitchy. In fact, I was quite charming.
This again is why I don't want the book:
And here's what I said about the future:
I don't need to know everything about their struggle to appreciate how amazing they were. I lived it from '78 on.
Getting the VH monkey off my back is a good thing. It's a healthy thing. And it's just my thing. You all can obsess until your heart's content. I can't do it anymore.
And if they can't do it anymore, I'm OK with that too. I'll always have the music and that's all that matters to ME; but that doesn't mean I don't have anything to say anymore. I'll just say it somewhere else from now on.
Nah, NG, don't go anywhere. If you leave then we'll be down to like 12 regulars and the only chicks will be Kristy who's on a weed moratorium and is extra cranky and a crazed Canadian actress who moonlights as a Vacuum Wielding Superhero!
If they bring Sammy back I swear to God I'm gonna have one of these jumpsuits made for me, lol.
Is it just me or does it look like the guy behind Slappy is tickling his Bawllz?
Good to know where you were concentrating your gaze bud
