          I say within a week we'll be hearing from Hagar about this.

            Kind of related. Kind of dumb, too. Telling that the guy has comments disabled.

              Yup, he is basically a poor man's Eddie Trunk and one cannot get worst than that. Knows no one in the respective camps and is a fan of Van Hagar... sort of that nerd type who started liking Van Halen when he felt the sound and morality of Dave's bravado was no longer a hindrance, and he could then feel cool being a fan lol
              I got lost in the...

                The VHND article's comments has a few of the good ol' "I wish they'd just tell us SOMETHING, we deserve it!" comments and, of course, speculation that Dave's comments mean Hagar is returning.

                Again I say...if Dave knows what's going on with Ed, good for him for keeping it quiet.

                  Who knows but my best guess is after a couple of attempts to get a tour going again Eddie is now basically retired.

                  I think people taking Dave's comments as Hagar coming back are completely kidding themselves although with Van Halen you can never be 100% sure about anything.

                  What is now ruled out is that this was a temporary thing.

                      How pricky...
                      Not announcing the band done, really. Just Dave revealing it sourly, and quickly skip to his solo thing in Vegas.
                      What about the thousands of fans who paid their tickets and drove or flew for miles to attend their gigs? Don't they deserve being addressed for a couple of minutes? Would it tear down their jaws to say a few words?
                      As it's often been said here, VH is the worst band in the world as far as fan treatment, except for Mike Anthony...
                      As if we needed further proof.
                      I think I won't follow that Vegas circus with much benevolence, to day the least.
                      As for the Hagar possibility, that would be the last straw.

                        No. They paid for a ticket, they saw a show. Transaction over. Go to the Links if you want to cry about "being owed."

                          Well, if VH is done, I hope it's for good and Sam doesn't ooze onto the scene again. The world doesn't need to hear Up For Breakfast ever again.

                          I think it's telling that he's even talking about releasing the John 5 album he recorded in '14. Ed drives the train, so I'm guessing he's done- whether for health reasons or otherwise.

                            I was just at the Links and its hilarious reading Hagarites getting all excited, grabbing their vaginas over a Van Hagar reunion.

                            When that would be the furthest from Ed's mind at this point. He doesn't want to go out and play. Hes content with living his comfortable life without the ongoing drama of his famous rock band.

                              If its over then so be it
                              I was around from the get go and was lucky enough to see them multiple times as the original line up, and then again in 07/08 and 12'.
                              I passed on the 15' tour as I really didn't want to see a greatest hits package and vowed that I will never see them unless Michael was in and they had some new material to play.

                              What can one say except "thank you" and "fuck you" in the same breath to the greatest band ever

                              Funny my post count is 1979 the year I saw them live for the 1st time!
