Yes they could have done something great but is it gone forever? I think the Van Halens believed they were still top 40 in 1999 so I wonder if time has made them wake up or they just do not care.

I think if Sammy is back, yes its gone, too late..
How can you say the bro's have woken up if they have chosen Sammy ? I think you are right when you say they dont care, they
really dont care for their original fans at all. So Fuck Them !BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !
Love ya Mary Frances! -
I really don't give a fuck. I hate the way Ed has treated us, his fans for the last few years. He was the reason I learned to play guitar. He was my idol. But he basically, to quote one of my late solders, shit on our heads and we're suppose to thank him for the hat. No thanks. I'll just remember the 6 great albums they gave us and I'll be fine!!
I just think that Ed has a hard time with the fact that "when you think of Van Halen, you think of David Lee Roth!""Don't try to confuse the issue with half truths and gorilla dust." - Bill NcNealComment

Depends on what you want to see out of a reunion.
I'd be more than willing to check out what the classic lineup could do in terms of producing new music. CGTSNM and MWM weren't a bad effort from them in 1996. The music sounded Van Hagary, but it could have turned out much worse.
Wouldn't bother comparing what they would be able to do now, live or in the studio, with what they did on those first 6 albums and tours. Might as well face reality: Ed and Al aren't in good physical shape, and none of them are getting any younger.
If you're looking for classic Van Halen to reunite and pick up right where they left off in 1984, you might as well forget it. Ed is either unwilling or unable to write tunes that match the sound and intensity of those 6 albums. Would be interesting to see what they could come up with in the studio, as long as the studio wasn't 5150 and Ed left the production chores to Ted Templeman.
However, I'd always be up for Dave, Ed and the other two reforming and going out on the road for a reunion tour of oldies. All Ed, Al and Mike have to do is show up and play. Leave the press conferences, onstage patter and singing to Dave.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Hell I don't even think eddie can sing backup let alone breath without an oxygen tank. Didn't they cut off part of his toungue a couple years back? Gee I'd like to hear him say: "uuuoooohh, uuooohhh, uuuooohhh, aaaaayyyiieee, eeeeyyyyinnn"
I'll I have to say about this is : Eat em' and smile!Comment

Starting to think it may be turn the page time on a DLR/VH reunion.
They tried to make a go of it twice before and got absolutely nowhere.
I'll always keep a sliver of hope as long as they are all still sucking air but it just does not seem to work for these guys.
I guess they look at it as an all or nothing proposition, because my thinking is that if you can't make it on the road then just go into the studio and do the '96 routine. Reopen the Club Dave wing at 5150, grind out some albums and then go your separate ways!
At this point I'd be happy just to get an album of unreleased songs!Last edited by picasso bros; 02-21-2004, 12:49 AM.Comment

Ed is a jerk, could give a shit about what anyone else wants.
I think he will be dead before any new music comes out under the name VAN-HALEN.
Now under the name VAN HALEN, without the dash they have.
