EAT EM AND SMILE BAND reunion w/RALPH SAENZ on VOCALS-THIS WEDNESDAY

[DONNIEP]

Greg Bissonnette and John5

This might have been a great show - Dave was drankin before it started and that's always a plus.

Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan are playing a benefit in LA on the 12th of December.

Gregg B has just finished his tour with Ringo Starr so I guess they have a window of a few weeks to try somewhere else. There is a difference though between getting up and doing half a dozen songs at a jam night and actually puttin a show on somewhere.

There are other venues in the L A area that could hold a shitload more people than that one. I haven't heard of anything going on in the L A Sports arena in decades.

That's true. But it wouldn't take those guys long to knock the rust off those songs. And in say a 3000 seater they really wouldn't have to put on a show - just get up there and play: those guys are all natural showmen when they play anyway. And Dave - hell he can put on a show in a room the size of your average McDonalds bathroom.

It appears the band was stoked about the show and apparently all for trying again. The question is will Dave seize the opportunity and put in the practice before the show. I'd like to think he would after seeing last night's crowd. But then again...

LOLz and ROFLz about defunct sites and sites with less than 50 viewers.

Holy hell, if they put that kind of spirit on stage it might just melt the damn speakers.

SO close and yet... they were literally onstage already, FFS!! Vai offered to pay the LA County fine, which wouldn't have been cheap. I mean come on.... just sad.

[DONNIEP]

Seriously, show me one picture from the last 8 years of Dave with the Van Faggot Triplets, or whatever stupid name they call themselves, that looks like that. There ain't one. Damn I hope they do a show. And I hope They don't do ONE Van Halen song.

I wonder if Ed would have the lawyers tell them they couldn't do VH songs, like Sam claims they did to him.

Oh i'd bet money Ed would have a team of lawyers on the phone if Dave played any VH. Which is fine with me, I wanna hear the solo stuff again!!

[twonabomber]

I remember an article on Vai in Musician magazine, after he left Dave and just before Passion and Warfare. The writer did a paragraph on the EEAS tour, and said "where Vai played Eruption with his teeth." And yeah, back then it was cool, the show had to be bigger than anything VH had done, but now it's not needed.
