Reality Check for a VH renuion

[Itakenoshit]

Reality is there will be no original vh reunion. Face it. I hate it but I am a realist. Too much water under the bridge. Ed and Alex have too much pride. Plus they are as stupid as MC hammer giving millions of dollars away. That is how stupid the brothers are. Or as stupid as Nikki Sixx overdosing and then shooting up heroin 3 or 4 hours after he got back home from the hospital.


Plus the brothers like fat singers.

Oh joy, aren't you just a bucket of sunshine.

[thome]

I think they miss Dave desperately and want to be inside him .

[bueno bob]

I think they know deep down it's the only way...the only way to save their fans...their feelings for them are strong...especially for...

SISTER!

So! Van Halen has a twin SISTER!

Gary Cherone was WISE to hide her from me. Now HIS FAILURE IS COMPLETE!

If Van Halen will not reunite with David Lee Roth, then PERHAPS SHE WILL!

[thome]

I had that same pair of shoes left them on some other truck.Damn

[Wonder Twins]

Although we heard all the talk before about reunions, I think there is something more this time around. I think we will see a reunion. I mean floyd got back after all those years. I just think if for nothing else, they will do it for pride.

I would also like to mention that Ed can't play Classic VH no more... thank you.

Let's face it - the best tracks VH had written in years were the one's that appeared on the Best Of Vol 1, with the man Diamond Dave on them. I'm refering to of course Me Wise Magic and Can't Get This Stuff No More.

What Eddie and Alex need to realise that as far as CVH goes, the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. But as Dave has said about Eddie - "He's not happy unless he's unhappy".

The reunion would NEVER happen because EVH can't suck it up and do it for his fans, which is just downright sad. He's never been that motivated by the fans (unlike Dave), he's always seemed to just want to do things for himself.

Very good post especially this part. Dave understood the music biz and Eddie didn't. Dave had a vision and Eddie didn't. Dave wanted to put VH on a special place on the board. Lets call it a chess board instead of the rock n roll board. Dave promoted, wanted to tour the fuck out of a porno movie and did everything to take VH to a different level than any other band.

Dave was like a King and a rook on a chess board. Ed just wanted to play guitar and be in seclusion. It's true he wanted to go home and just go in a room with Val. Ed was a bishop and a pawn sorta speak how he looked at the music biz. Bishops can only move diagonally and that is very awkward. Thats how Ed moved in the music world. The pawn part is a pawn just wants to do its thing and nothing else. The pawn can improve only if he gets to the other sideof the board and Eddie could have been a King too and I am not talking about guitar playing. I am talking about being a King on understanding the music biz.


And one last thing I didnt get this philosophy from Dave's awesome book. I felt this throughout the original line up years about the band.

all-righty then........................

[SloBurn]

I mean it man! Dave IS his fans. Eddie looks down on them.

[Matt White]

I'm hip to that fact....as are most here.............
please continue..........

Actually, he can, when he wants to piss SAMMY off. The rumor is he would do perfect renditions of CVH songs in soundcheck, then get drunk and fuck 'em up at the concert.:D

Check out my new thread to see what ireally think in a nutshell....

them perfect hammered.
Dude put down a bottle of the loon in 20 min's when I saw him.

The only move Ed has left to make that's gonna make any difference on a large scale is to reunite with Dave, and vice-versa for Roth.

Have a gut feeling the reunion won't happen, due to money and ego more than anything else. About the only thing I would lay odds on happening is one CVH tour, with the boys playing strictly oldies. Really no point in doing a few new CVH tracks for another greatest hits. Maybe for a box set, but sadly there would be no way Ed would participate in a box set that was strictly CVH material, and I'm all done paying for shit loaded with Van Hagar to get to the CVH stuff. Did it once with the audio and video releases of BOV1. Not doing it again.

The prospect of a new, full-length album of CVH material doesn't look too promising, going by what Ed's been coming up lately; his stuff post-1996 has the dubious honor of making the 1986-1994 shit sound almost decent. Far as a CVH tour flogging the oldies, gonna say I'd pass at this point. All of Dave's enthusiasm isn't gonna be enough.....it's a million-to-one shot that CVH now would be able to pull off anything live that would make me say, "Wow, these guys are playing better than they ever did the first time around."

Long shot that CVH will get back together, and unless some new, killer music comes out of it and gets represented live along with the classics, there's really no reason that they should. If it's gonna be the usual route bands take when reuniting, then CVH would be better served by releasing some classic live video.

Fucking HELLO. Ed NEVER COULD play CVH. Unless you count his tennis racket years before he got out the same 'me wise magic' MIDI bullshit Dave was making fun of.

Only assholes and virgins could watch Bill and Ted AND Weezer, then watch Wolfie-Willie-Weezer and think the kid should go on being the funky son of the king of butt-flare FAKERS, inc.
