There are a lot of hypothetical reunion threads, so here's another one. Albeit highly unlikely that they'll ever work with Dave again, but if they did and Mike decides he'd rather play with Sammy, who should replace Mike? I say Billy Sheehan. He's been friends with Ed for years, and is supposedly still on good terms with Dave. I know Ed wanted Billy back in 1980 after Talas opened for them. Yet I seem to remember that Al never liked him, but who does Al like? So who would be a suitable replacement?

just get all 4 originals back, mike needs to hit those background notes -
If they got that dude from Primus, he'd probably fuck it up.Comment

I agree it should be the original 4, but if no Mike, at least Billy has a history with Ed and played with Dave as well. It wouldn't be like the Who with only two originals and two replacements who are not officially band members..When the shit hits the fan, close your mouth and duck.Comment

You know, this deserves a whole topic of discussion like, "What If?"
You know...
What if?: Geddy Lee replaced mikey and bumped his hawk beak into Al's neckbrace?
What if?: Nikki Sixx replaced mikey and his Joan Jett hairdo clashed with Ed's Pebble Flintstones shit?
What if?: John Paul Jones replaced mikey and got hit by some dropping smoke planet effect 'cause he doesn't move much?

Billy in a CVH reunion? I think Billy and Dave would be the show, and Ed, and Al would play second fiddle to SERIOUS talent and showmanship. Besides, fuck Al, who gives a shit who he likes...If you listen to fools

Billy'd give Ed too much of a run for his money...EVH might have to make an effort to keep up with him, and putting your all into a performance runs counter to what Van Halen has come to stand for now.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

They might as well hire Ronnie Lane or John Entwistle for the job, given the likelihood that it will actually happen anytime soonEat Us And Smile

There isn't going to be another reunion of the original Van Halen anytime soon after the 96 debacle so all this whining from some fans living in a pipe dream should move on. I don't think there is going to be another VH album or another VH tour after last year's reunion but if Van Halen does reunite again I wouldn't doubt it if Billy Sheehan becomes the next bassist for one tour.Comment

I want EdWad to be challenged!
isn't he a god?
If he's challenged by Billy Sheehan then what does that make him?
I say chuck the "deadwood" and Dave and Ed SHOULD seek replacements for a mediocre drummer and a mimic myna bird for a bassist. Neither one of them have done anything outside of VH in a leadership role, which tells me how weak they are.
Bring on Billy and grab Steve Smith, Peter Criss, Stewart Copeland, Jason Bonham, Vinnie or Carmine Appice, Tommy Lee...fuck anyone that can touch and hold 2 drumsticks.
Git 'er done!Comment
