    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)

    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.

    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

    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.

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

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

    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.

    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...
