VAN HALEN LOOKING AT 2007 LIVE DATES:
So, the word has started to leak...Van Halen are setting up a tour for 2007 and should everything fall into place it will start sooner rather than later. David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen and Wolfgang Van Halen have gotten together and parties involved in all aspects of the Van Halen machine are mobilizing to get this tour set up. I can confirm dates and venues are being penciled in. There isn't much more I can say at this time, but safe to say should everything go to plan (and we all know how things can change with these guys), the band should hit the road for US dates starting in September.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

guess mike is out and wolf is in. one would think if september is a start date, tickets would be going on sale very soon, like this month

oh, hey max :D

Holy friggin' moly!!! Mr. JMJ FINALLY posting here after all of these years?

Might I be the first to say welcome and I'm sooooo glad to have you here. You are BEYOND welcome and anyone who knows you as well as I do knows what a great addition you'd be posting here.

Seriously and despite what's been said over yonder, we're a bunch of rowdy motherfuckers but good people!!! You'll fit in perfectly!!!

MAX

07-02-2007, 03:37 AM

Also, one would have to be somewhat retarded to not realize that something's been brewing with VH, even when the tour was postponed. I've already stated it a gazillion times but Dave's silence speaks volumes. :hitch:

Andrew's been wrong regarding a few things a few miles back but he's been right on the money regarding anything VH related over the last few years. Plus, he's a good bloke. Too many factors add up. Hence as to why I didn't lose too much sleep when the tour was originally postponed.

The website, Frankenstrat replica soundbites, a unified snubbing of the RNRHOF, Dave's silence, etc. Too many clues to think that something's brewing. ;)

I'd like to think that this is true, and I certianly think that something is brewing, but September isn't that far away.

Is is too soon to build up the hype and allow enough time for ticket sales?

Some bands these days announce torus nine months in advance...

MAX

07-02-2007, 04:04 AM

Binnie,

The tour was already planned months ago, it was just postponed. I play guitar (not professionally) and it's not a hard task to crank out tunes that you've played a million times prior in one's life. You go on autopilot and can play them in your sleep. lol Hence, it's easier done than said for those guys to fire up those classics on all full cylinders than anyone thinks. ;)

Fuck, when the chemistry's already there, they're good to go!!!

1-tour was originally "postponed"
2-ed says in GW interview he, al, and wolf started rehearsing after 12 weeks off
3-rumors from jim koplick in CT say vh this fall
4-vh website updated for newsletter
5-dave ain't said jack shit
6- andrew now reporting rumors of fall tour

i mean if ya look at the damn timeline, seems imminent

question is, can they get it together? i ain't gettin over excited like last time though

i do not understand the september dates though. it's fuckin july already. a 4th of july announcement would be sweet

And I hope to God that the news is true!

I want a tour, I want live DVD archive releases, I want un-released demos and a new album.

Give us it all Ed!

Ah, the hell..
If they can put it together, that's gonna be terrific. Although I'm pretty sure there's NOT gonna be some European Tour.
BRING THE SHIT ON, DAVE !!!

ya, sure they are gonna tour.

bahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

I will never believe anything VH related till I actually see the start of the tour done and good reviews.

VH really has tarnished the name and credibility over the years. I for one dont believe any news about VH anymore.

NEXT!!!

Are they going to pipe in MA's background vocals?

I guess Wolfie took summer school.

I wonder if they delayed the tour to complete an album, but they did delay the Greatest Hits package. So they may be adding a few new songs to this package. I don't think we need a third greatest hits album especially since they have already remastered the original 6 discs.

Jimmy Jingles

07-02-2007, 09:25 AM

I am extra cautious at this point.

I got SO burned earlier this year, and as we all learned things can change on a fucking dime with the sisters.

That being said.........

There'd have to be a HUGE amount of interest (or a fanbase) for them to drag their asses out here...

It's all true. A tour is on! But see, it's all a secret. When tickets go on sale, that will be a secret too. You'll just have to guess where to get them. And the dates and arenas are secret too. If you hear music coming out of a big-ass building after sundown, it may be VH! hehehe

As long as Wolfie can keep his weight in check, everything will be fine.

No Twinkies on the tour rider!

Not to be a Downer but let's be real folks, who is what .?

Since when is it OK to pull a 15 or 16 yr old out of school and
put him in a rock band and tour around the country..?

Who has custody..? usually the mother that would mean Val (Yoko) is
going to have to OK this, then the State, SRS ,Child Protective Services.

Anyone who believes this is loopy.

I say the postponment is due to getting Mike out of his contract with
the Spamminater.

Wolfie is the practice dummy till,Mike get's free.

BS!

PS. Wolfie can sing too?.....yeah Rite!

I call BS!

If wrong, then i'm wrong.

Who was the keyboard player that was behind the curtain during the live shows in the 90's. I think it might have been a guy that played with the Cure. I hate it when they either have the prerecorded keyboards or they don't show the guy. What is the big deal with having another guy on stage. This guy could also play rythym guitar on certain songs especially when Ed plays the solos.

Welcome to the Army. :cool:

This story will be interesting to follow. I hope it pans out. I'm trying not to get too excited so I'm not let down. Again.

diamondsgirl

07-02-2007, 12:55 PM

Wolf will be a draw for sure. I think there are more people who are curious about EVH's kid than there are people who give a shit that Mike's gone.

BTW...if they have a legit tutor for the kid, he can be out of school. Lots of celeb kids do it. And he will get an education...for sure. ;)

also...have you heard Mike's vocals lately?? :eek:

Its not like 1984.

Folks always say that about Dave, but its true about Mike.

Lets just say that Wolf can't sound any worse. :D

Nickdfresh

07-02-2007, 02:35 PM

Jesus. The thought of Wolfie playing bass does not excite me. Although, I'd love to see him spell the old man on guitar.

And for those pretending that not having Mike is just great and that he had no part in the distinctive sound of classic Van Halen, I think you're either fucking delusional or are just kidding yourselves.

The whole childish, high school-esque click thing of Dave and the boys vs. Sam and Mike is just beyond nauseating at this point. I could give a fuck if Mike wiping off Sam's dingleberries at this point --I still want to see him in Van Halen BECAUSE THAT'S THE REAL DEAL brothas' and sistas'!

You notice how Dave is completely mum of this whole thing? It's only Ed and Al that are tossing shitbombs at Mike (if you believe everything you read that is). Well, they've fucked up the act before and they'll just keep going with it. But the short memories here are astounding. Ed and Al are simply employing the same self-serving hatchet-man shit they used to bury in Dave's back. Edwad: "Oooooh, look at my son! He's a shreddah'! Unlike that cunt Mikey." Yeah, fuck Ed. The same shit, different guy. How's his singin' Ed? Does he have your grate pipes? Wasn't he talking about the new musical possibilities they had with Sam because they could now write pussified-power ballads in so many new keys, so long ago? Whatever, man. You know?

Well, enjoy whatever this amounts to while it lasts --if it happens at all. But fuck, I'm waiting for those two pricks to again screw Dave ala' MTV Awards style and hire the ex-Journey singer once they've generated a little buzz (to kill, later, with a means to yet be determined)... How many say I?

Call it what you want though. But it ain't classic Van Halen without Mike...

I agree with ya NickD

Alls I saying is that if he is not going to tour with them, while I will be disappointed, it will in no way cause me NOT to go...

Because when it boils down to it...it's all about the TOASTMASTER FUCKING GENERAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MUSICMANN

I want a origional lineup VH more than anyone else, but thats not gong to happen, atleast if this is true and they are going to tour. I'll say this, having Dave back, and losing Mike is a trillion times better than having Mike and no Dave. We went that route for 10 fucking yrs. and it sucked.

Whatever Mike did, the friendship has been severed and at these guys age, i can't see them kissing and making up, like they have done with Dave, their getting told old.

I truthfully don't mind Ed'd son playing. If the kid is as hot as they say he is, Mike won't be missed, other than everyone knows that he isn't there and it's a 75% classic VH.

I'll take what i can get, and enjoy it. But really, who would have been paying attention if Mike would have been there. I want to see Dave up front and center, where he always belonged.

Fuck MA, three VH's and Dave is all i need.

I think Dave's voice is stronger now than ever. Not the screaming high stuff but his regular singing voice. He can hold it together longer and sounds great doing the classics.

07-02-2007, 03:52 PM

I wish they did an album first or released some new material with a greatest hits package with DVD, although I prefer the first option. Wolgang isn't the youngest dude to play bass in a band by far, how many had started at 16 or 17? I really think he'll rejuvenate everyone around him, I just hope they keep it together. On Mike, well it's a shame but he was lured away from VH by Sammy, Sammy is smart but he'll end up creasing in his pants when the Real Van Halen lets it rip.
I really think he's desperate
for this reunion to stall, it's a shame it didn't happen 11 years ago, when he would have been put in his place, now most people have forgotten about Van Halen and he will be grateful for that

What I think would be great...is Dave doing some Hagar bullshit music and actually improving it because he's such a fucking superior singer. Just one song to prove how much he kicks ass to all the effing Sammy fans who don't wanna admit it. Dave doesn't sound like he did back in the 70's, cuz voices wear out when you get older (well, except maybe in the case of Dio, where he actually sounds as amazing now as he ever did) but I think that Dave still sounds spectacular, and he still has charisma.

Pasadena Bunnie

07-02-2007, 04:05 PM

Well NickyD - it would be hard to argue your points - they are valid, BUT... I think the reason why I'd support this band with Wolfie on Bass is that regardless of what Ed and Al DO...I'm a ROTH Fan and it's he who brings out the enthusiasm for this band for me. Regardless of who's on Bass, Dave will front and he'll make it fun and give 200%. Wolfie digs Dave and what CVH represented. I think the fresh blood gives VH a new vibe and he's not going to change the classics. He will follow his Dad's lead and if this is the ONLY way to get ED and Dave together...then so be it. When you hear them, it will sound like Van Halen...the only difference is the visual and some background vocals. I've seen Dave many times on his solo tours doing CVH and it sounds fantastic, despite the fact that Bassplayer is not singing background vocals or playing bass.

If the brothers screw Dave, they know they've screwed themselves. No one will ever accept a Jeff Scott Soto or anyone else fronting "Van Halen". Should they decide to try to kick Dave to the curb (which I highly doubt this time), then they will hopefully be intelligent enough to call retire the "Van Halen" name.

Um, no. I never mentioned anything about 'Dave's voice.' His voice has nothing to do with it, it's not about Mike vs. Dave singing since Mikey did the background vocals, did he not?

Who's going to replace that?

And if Dave can't screech like he used too, you've just said his voice in not what it was in 1984, which can only be expected. Spin it however you wish..

Not one of those guys is going to sound exactly like they did in 1984. I am pretty sure Wolfie wasn't even alive, which means he probably shouldn't even be on the stage. It's just the most retarded nepotism shit I've seen in rock. Even Jason Bonham had his own band...

I mean all the people who think that Mike's former sound can not be duplicated. :p

It can be duplicated.

No, it won't be CVH, I agree.

And in some ways that is sad. But fairly easy to get over. :D

Fine. And you may have a great time at any shows that take place. I hope you do. But to me it ain't classic Van Halen. It's just another disappointment. Another opportunity in which they've come up short and squandered much potential. I just wish 50-something year olds could be a bit less petty than menstruating teen girls. But why expect anything more at this point?

Ha! Who can photoshop a Van Halen "Mean Girls" movie poster?

The whole childish, high school-esque click thing of Dave and the boys vs. Sam and Mike is just beyond nauseating at this point. I could give a fuck if Mike wiping off Sam's dingleberries at this point --I still want to see him in Van Halen BECAUSE THAT'S THE REAL DEAL brothas' and sistas'!

Call it what you want though. But it ain't classic Van Halen without Mike...

Out of context kiddo...

I'm talking about how you laid out this whole "everybody talks about Dave's voice, but Mike's sucks now too..." --as if that's some sort of argument as too why he need not be there. Well, prior to that post, I wasn't talking about Dave's voice. I only said that Mike's backing vocals are integral to CVH. So, what do they doi without him? Can Wolfie pull it off? Do they get a chick to sing backup? (which would be so gay and un-CVH, it's not funny!)...

I only mentioned it AFTER YOU DID...

So, since Dave's voice isn't what it used to be, should he be replaced too?

'Cause it's not like spEd and Alice have said as much when they brought in Gary. But the minute Dave's back with 'em, it's all good? yeah, uhuh...

Actually, I could make a pretty good argument that since NONE of those guys can play or sing like they did in the glory years, maybe they should forgo any sort of pseudo-reunion...

If Eddie's playing is like a couple years ago, what difference does it make what's going on on bass.

07-02-2007, 05:08 PM

All I was saying...is that

1. a lot of people say that Dave's voice sucks compared to 1984. And I do not agree.

2. not many people say that Mike's voice sucks compared to 1984. But, it does.

I argue that Mike's former background vocals are not a valid reason for Mike to be there now.

IMO, the only valid argument at this point is that its not CVH without all 4. And if that fact stops anyone from going to a show, thats their option. But, they are foolish to think that it won't sound the same because Mike's not there. It wouldn't sound the same WITH Mike there. They all sound different. Some sound better (Dave), some sound worse(Mike). :D

Here's another spin...For all we know, Wolf sounds more like Mike did in 1984 than Mike does now. ;)

LOL.

I only saw 2 clips of Mike's singing lately and I agree but my guess is it's from a lack of practice or no one kicking his ass to do his best.

I'm split due to the fact that if Dave's back it would be best to get Mike in there for the CVH thing 1 last time ..however..
if Ed's more inspired with the kid in there, he'll play better .
If Ed's playing is better, the Dave/Ed dynamic will be that much stronger. And Dave's voice won't be an issue if he's been practicing with these guys regularly since it will be in shape.

Maybe there are way more chances to see VH reunited when they pay visit to Ed in rehab next time.

There's a story going around that Sobolewski failed to show up at Ma Van Halen's funeral when she passed away. Dave & Sammy both paid their respects. Not sure about Cherone, but he probably would have called or something, because he seems like a decent enough guy. Plus, Gary might have got a pass here, because his total time with the band was about 3 years, and he didn't have a history going back to playing in various parents' basements, like Mike did.

Since it seems that both Ed and Alex have personal issues with Mike, I'd pick this scenario over the "touring with Hagar" thing.

VAN HALEN LOOKING AT 2007 LIVE DATES:
So, the word has started to leak...Van Halen are setting up a tour for 2007 and should everything fall into place it will start sooner rather than later. David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen and Wolfgang Van Halen have gotten together and parties involved in all aspects of the Van Halen machine are mobilizing to get this tour set up. I can confirm dates and venues are being penciled in. There isn't much more I can say at this time, but safe to say should everything go to plan (and we all know how things can change with these guys), the band should hit the road for US dates starting in September.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

guess mike is out and wolf is in. one would think if september is a start date, tickets would be going on sale very soon, like this month

Even Right Now is suspect.

Ed was accused of playing bass on it by one of the guitar player magazine's interviewers.

The response Ed gave was "Why'd you have to say that?."

(Now if Mike had played on it, wouldn't Ed have just said Mike played on it?)

Anyway I am stoked about this rumor since I never got the chance to see CVH. Regarding Mike, it would be cool if he was there but to be honest I may check his side of the stage twice during a show. The first time to see when he is going to solo so I can piss. The second time to see if he is done.

BTW I heard the same rumor about Mike but I was told it was bullshit because Mike is too great of a human being. Its the only thing that makes sense.

they may not sound like the FW tour, but it could be a damn good time

i'm not gonna not go on principle cuz mike ain't there. the biggest reason is cuz i love the music and the vibe of vh..but here's a damn good reason..pay attention

a few years back, there was a cat here by the name of wolfman as many of you may recall. he told me a story when he started college that he had virtually no money and SRV was touring and coming to around the area he was. he said he'd flip a coin to decide...heads i go tails i don't. well he flipped it and it came out tails and he didn't go. a few weeks later stevie died in the crash. wolf said he has kicked himself for years over that.

this may be the last time to see ed on stage with dave. if ya ain't goin out of principle, fine. if ya ain't goin cuz it's called van halen and mike ain't there, fine. if ya ain't goin cuz ya think anyone who accepts this as van halen is swingin from ed's nuts, whatever. the band van halen is different for everyone. there are dave fans. there are sammy fans. there are ed fans. there are mike fans, alex fans. there are lovers n haters. there are cvh fans. many peeps ain't seen dave with vh, may have. many feel jaded. many feel they are owed something. pick a category folks, pick a category.

i ain't missin it for the world because to me, it's van halen

Anthony was the member of the band I paid the least amount of attention to in ANY of the lineups, but if he's not there, it ain't a CVH reunion. It's something else.

One can rationalize 6 ways to Sunday as to why it might not matter that he's not there for a hypothetical future tour, but short of him dying the reality is that there's really no good reason for him NOT to be there. It's just more childish bullshit on the part of the Van Halens, and it would seem that Roth would have put aside his "all or nothing" philosophy regarding the reunion lineup for whatever reasons...would have preferred Roth stood his ground on that point, or at least said "fine, Mike's not here, let's bill it as something else besides 'Van Halen'."

Really has little to do with Wolfie being the replacement, but more of a puzzlement as to why Anthony isn't along for the ride. Even taking the rumor of Anthony not showing up at the funeral at face value, he's still displayed more loyalty to the Van Halens than Roth or Hagar.

Well, it's not technically CVH, and I think everyone does (or should) admit that. But I also think it's probably the closest we're gonna get, so whatever the reasons for him not being there, I don't really mind. Seeing Dave and Eddie on the same stage (hopefully getting along) is really enough for me.

FORD

07-02-2007, 11:10 PM

Dave & Eddie are the key members. My preference would be all four of them up on that stage, and when it looked like this tour was shelved until next summer, I thought it was good for that reason, among others, that time and distance might get Ed over what ever he's pissed at Sobolewski about.

I don't know if Mike skipped Mama Van Halen's funeral, but then I don't know if Dave really fucked one of Alex's ex wives either. If both stories are true, I'd suppose one would be as forgivable as the other.

My goodness people, it is what it is. It's Van Halen cos it has David Lee Roth and Edward Van Halen. Face it, that's what most of the planet thinks of when they put faces to the Van Halen band name.

It's also a reunion tour and it will be fun. Of course it's not going to be 1984 or whatever and who in their right mind thinks it will be? :rolleyes:

It will be a plus if it snowballs into another album or something but there's activity going on and it's awesome.

I just get so friggin' sick and tired of people whining about the Mikey crap. Fine, no "Mikey" and you don't support it. So stay the fuck home cos there will be plenty of others that will fill your seats at the shows and DLR, AVH, EVH ain't gonna give a flying fuck about your "No Mikey No Van Haley" campaign either.

You're so right though regarding all of these "Mikey" lubbers. FORD and I discussed it earlier in the thread.

No disrespect but I barely play bass. I own one, can fill in when needed and am extremely average. However, I've played guitar for twenty four years. What's my point?

Then the question I ask is why did these same sheep consider the 2004 flop a so-called "reunion?" When infact it wasn't cos it was a replacement singer? Hence, it WASN'T Van Halen.

Regardless, I don't care if they call it a "reunion" or The Van Halen Family Featuring David Lee Roth. Fuck, they could call it Mammoth Revisited for all I care. The point is that it IS the closest thing to REAL VAN HALEN since 1984!!!

Regardless, I don't care if they call it a "reunion" or The Van Halen Family Featuring David Lee Roth. Fuck, they could call it Mammoth Revisited for all I care. The point is that it IS the closest thing to REAL VAN HALEN since 1984!!!

Mate,

Mike's "loyalty" ended a few miles back. I'm not blaming him cos he chose not to sit around for several years, with his thumb up his ass waiting for EVH to do something. However and instead, he decided to to stick his thumb up Hagar's ass instead which is where it's been firmly planted much to the dismay of the Halen's.

Again, it's nobody's fault persay. This is just where we are now. Ed's inspired (obviously) to play the real material with his son and brother and nobody can ever front VH excluding Dave. VOILA!!! This is where we are now.

I like Mike but to some people there, you would think that God created him on the 7th day. Anyway during the 2004 tour, none of my casual VH fans wanted to go. However with this upcoming tour, I have 12 people inquiring about when its going to happen. People are posting that this tour will do worse than 2004 because Mike is not there. Did not know bassplayer was the reason for 85 million in album sales.

Reunited Van Halen Eyeing Fall Arena Run
David Lee Roth

July 03, 2007, 10:00 AM ET

Ray Waddell, Nashville
A proposed summer amphitheater tour by a reunited Van Halen that was derailed when guitarist Eddie Van Halen checked into rehab now looks like it may be resurrected as a fall arena run. Several arena holds are in place in major markets for potential Van Halen dates, Billboard.com has learned.

The tour, negotiations for which were first tipped here on Jan. 24, would feature David Lee Roth, Eddie and Alex Van Halen and Eddie Van Halen's teenage son Wolfgang on bass.

Wheels had been in motion for a 40-date, Live Nation-produced amphitheater tour, with original frontman Roth back in the fold for the first time in more than 20 years. Van Halen last toured in 2004 with vocalist Sammy Hagar, grossing nearly $40 million, according to Billboard Boxscore.

But the reunion never got off the ground, and Eddie Van Halen entered a rehabilitation facility for undisclosed reasons in March. In the months since, the artist has been seen publicly looking healthy and fit.

The buzz surrounding the prospect of a Van Halen tour with Roth seems to point toward a successful trek. "I see it absolutely as an inevitability," Roth told Billboard.com more than a year ago regarding a tour with his ex-bandmates. "To me, it's not rocket surgery. It's very simple to put together. And as far as hurt feelings and water under the dam, like what's-her-name says to what's-her-name at the end of the movie 'Chicago' -- 'So what? It's showbiz!'"

Hey Maximus,

Well each to his own, mate. I respectfully disagree. Granted that we dunno what's really going on behind the scenes with these guys, but I just can't see how Ed can't just put whatever bitterness he has regarding Mike - childish or not - behind him and move on from it. He seems to have made amendments with Dave - and it took him 20 years (and counting) to do so. Don't get me wrong, if Wolfie is really inspiring him to play again, then just let him (Wolfie) jam onstage with him and leave it at that.

Yep, doing fairly good, and good to see round too, mate! :)

Eddie asked me to be in the band but I said no. I told him that I'm with Sammy all the way! Plus, Sammy said that he will be mad if I play with Van Halen. Also, Eddie said that they will not be playing any Van Hagar songs and this is not acceptable to me.

ziggysmalls

07-03-2007, 08:54 PM

Well I think since Sam first left in 95, that Ed has been wanting to dip into the CVH catalog. Sammy was always against it and when Gary toured with them, you saw Feel Your Love Tonigh, Romeo Delight, Somebody Get Me A Doctor, Dance The Night Away, I'm the One and Unchained making it back into the set list.

You have the 1996 reunion and 2000 as well with Dave.

During 2004 tour, Ed would play CVH soundchecks and would drop little pieces in solo. He would improvise on Hagar songs but would nail the CVH songs. He seemed very bored with playing the Hagar stuff as well.

So I think he wants to do it. Partly for monetary reasons but I also think to stick it to Sam and Mike. I also think that even though they have their differences, Ed and Dave are closer than what we think. I also believe they know their best work was with each other. Remember my enemies enemy is my friend.

So I guess after a novel I believe Ed wants to do this. Its just a bonus having Wolfgang around,

good point. hopefully, it's a mixture of that, and common sensibilities. first and foremost, he probably knew there was no way that weight shedding Val would agree to putting their collective progeny on display while he was fucked up as a football bat. secondly, and equally as hopefully? he probably didn't want to show up fucked up as a football bat with old #1 on the same stage.

no phoning it in with that totalitarian around!! no "5150 Time!"......no capri pants...no clowning around with a round clown around.

add a dash of just wanting to rockthefuckout?

It's also a reunion tour and it will be fun. Of course it's not going to be 1984 or whatever and who in their right mind thinks it will be? :rolleyes:

It will be a plus if it snowballs into another album or something but there's activity going on and it's awesome.

I just get so friggin' sick and tired of people whining about the Mikey crap. Fine, no "Mikey" and you don't support it. So stay the fuck home cos there will be plenty of others that will fill your seats at the shows and DLR, AVH, EVH ain't gonna give a flying fuck about your "No Mikey No Van Haley" campaign either. Twerpy nitwits...

Seriously, fuck off already, go watch the Haganthony shit, be happy and shutup!!!

It is what it is.

Not all it could be, though. And no real reason for it NOT to be all it could be.

Doesn't seem right for me to settle for less when it comes to Van Halen. Didn't settle for Van Hagar or Van Cherone, so why cut corners now?

Ain't shelling out money to see a greatest hits tour with 3/4's of the band there. Just not interested in it, and, frankly, these guys are capable of doing more than that.

Doesn't matter that the Van Halens and Roth don't care what anyone on this site thinks about it. This smacks of a lack of effort and taking the lazy way out on the part of the remaining members of the band.

You wanna settle for less, that's your biz.

Peace.

Everyone has their opinion on this. Some say without MA, it's not VH and some like me, couldn't give a rats ass if he is involved or not. Ed never thought highly of Mike, he never thought he pulled his weight in the band and became rich off of what him, Dave and Al were doing.

It definitly seems all that came to pass on the 04 tour with Spammy. I think it was the last show, when Ed went all pete townsend and trashed his guitar, screaming this is the end, it's over. I really believe Ed was just flat out tired of those two and said fuck it.

Ed, really never had a problem with Dave's work ethic, and knows he was his other half on creating all that great music on the six pack. He knew bringing Dave back in the band, it would legitimize VHonce again.

We can all speculate about wolfgang, but the kid might be just as creative as his dad, and really brings way more to the table than MA ever did. There's a differance in being a solid musician and being a musician that can actually right music and contribute.

I'm not saying that the kid can do that, but he has the genes for it, and i would guess that if Dave is up for it, the kid just might be that damn good.

I'll take three VH's and Dave any day, week, yr. or forever, than having a VH fronted by anyone other than Dave and MA on bass.

The yrs. of lackluster music, chessy ballads, and uninspired playing is over. Bring on the attitude, hard rockin and unforgetable music, that is VH.

From canada.com (seems to be copied frm billboard)

Ray Waddell, Reuters
Published: Wednesday, July 04, 2007

NASHVILLE (Billboard) - A proposed summer amphitheater tour by a reunited Van Halen that was derailed when guitarist Eddie Van Halen checked into rehab now could be resurrected as a fall arena run. Several arena holds are in place in major markets for potential Van Halen dates, Billboard.com has learned.

The tour would feature original singer David Lee Roth, Eddie and Alex Van Halen and Eddie Van Halen's teenage son Wolfgang on bass.

Wheels had been in motion for a 40-date amphitheater tour, with Roth back in the fold for the first time in more than 20 years. Van Halen last toured in 2004 with vocalist Sammy Hagar, grossing nearly $40 million, according to Billboard Boxscore.

But the reunion never got off the ground, and Eddie Van Halen entered a rehabilitation facility for undisclosed reasons in March. In the months since, the artist has been seen publicly looking healthy and fit.

It's worse than hypocrisy. Mike's harmonies were outstanding, but as a bass player he's average. And he didn't write a single song.

David Lee Roth wrote the lyrics, the vocal melodies, and helped Eddie shape his riffs into a coherent structure.

Sammy did all those same things in Van Hagar, but with drastically different results.

There's no logical basis whatsoever to assume that Michael Anthony's role in Van HALEN was equal to that of David Lee Roth.

Welcome aboard, Ziggy.

You are correct, Ford. And happy birthday, compadre...

Fuckin' A.

If the theory is that because one won't pony up the bucks to see a greatest hits tour by a less than complete CVH lineup therefore that person is a bitter, unhappy human being, then I assume it's safe to hypothesize that those who will go see the show are generally complacent, easily placated, and used to accepting second best for themselves.

Bullshit Dr.Phil-esque pshychobabble aside, suppose it comes down to a personal choice of standards and expectations. Shit, I was planning on getting tix myself for one of the summer dates prior to the proposed tour being postponed. Big part of that was having the chance to see Roth and EVH onstage together again for one last time. Ed's rehab stint gave me a chance to rethink this, and I concluded that just the mere act of those two onstage together isn't enough. Even having Anthony there isn't enough. Not if it's just gonna be a rehash of what's already come before.

Want an album of at least 8 new tracks of kick-ass material to be released prior to the shows. Want the full lineup there. Want the band to take a big piss on all the other half-assed reunions that other bands have undertaken prior to this, and show all of them how it should be done. Even KISS wan't able to pull off the feat of putting out decent new music during their late 1990s reunion, but at least they made the fucking EFFORT.

What Roth and the Van Halens are proposing is just more of the same in terms of how band reunions go these days. Having seen the real deal back in the day, I just can't accept this lesser version of CVH now. They're not even trying. Smacks of no effort to me. Doesn't honor the spirit and level of excellence the band attained back in the day. In all seriousness, though, should the tour actually happen I do hope those who go have a good time.

Now I'll quit bitching about it, and return to jacking off on my Mike Anthony 8" x 10" autographed color glossys.

Amen Hyman! It is gonna be a cash grab if there ever was one. It is a half assed effort too on their part. Do it right or don't do it all. Why shell out the big bucks just to see two guys? You can't tell me your actually stoked to see a kid with no experience up there. One kid and three 50+ yr. old guys. Lame.

Come to think of it, when I saw the 1984 tour, I had front row and on Anthony's side.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u237/berdasco/mytimyoldvhtixstubs.jpg?t=1183598086

That was the GREATEST CONCERT I'VE EVER SEEN, I remember sooo much about the show and you know what? ALL of my highlights were of Dave and Ed. Fuck, the ONLY thing I remember about Anthony was the Jack Daniels bass and taking a leak when he did his solo.

It was the Dave and Edward show. I remember the crowd chanting "DAVID!!! DAVID!!! DAVID!!!" when he did his martial arts thing and they chanted "EDDIE!!!" when he did his guitar solo. Not once did the crowd go monkeyshit over Anthony...

No problem Max. We have all been waiting 23 years for this and there is no way some mullet headed bass player with no loyalty to Dave,at all, is going to stop me from seeing this show. Sauce boy can't sing anymore anyway and the bottom line is this: Wolf is probably one of the biggest reasons that Dave is back with Van Halen in the 1st place.

I am sure they will be happy to be making some coin off it, but I think this means a lot more than $$ to Dave. Its about closure for him.

And I think that Ed is happier to be touring with his kid than he is about the cash.

Wolf would probably do it for free.

Fuck the herd, you stupid whore. I could give three shits what anyone else does. This is a message board for expressing opinions and that's all I have done.

And LMAO - Max - the fanboi Ed suckdick with an unhealthy fascination for homoeroticism in the form of gladiator movies thinks I want to suck Mike's "peepee" for calling this bullshit exactly what it is: bullshit? What the fak are you, man, seven years old? And by the way, its "per se", not "persay", you ignorant retard. Log off the internet every once in a while and try reading a book every now and then, eh?

Its funny how Melodic Rock prints another rumour about a tour and all the idiots line up like its the Gospel, like they have never been fucked over before by this same shite, over and over again for 23 years. Meanwhile the posters with any shamble of intelligence are cautious. Well keep it up fuckheads, you're entertainment for the rest of us.

Oh Hyman, give the ARMY a break, will ya?

We're not naive enough to start jumping on bandwagons just because Melodicrock prnting up the proposed possibility of a Tour. We're not standing in line or have our Ticketmaster as our wallpaper..

We've got a mixed bag of nuts over here...OK?! Some of us don't give a rat's ass whether SauceBoy is involved in this concert...and SO WHO GIVES A CRAP?

Yeah, everyone's got an opinion and if they were stated as intelligently as Terry's or Crowbar's, there is no harm done and it's respected.

But you come off as if someone attacked you personally...and whether it ws subliminally, it's all entertainment....remember?

Look - I'm just not going to engage in a flame war in an active thread in the Main with you or Max or anybody. You want to call me out? Fine - start a thread in Ariel's dump and I'll be there with bells on.

But I will say, that I'm not at all surprised that you failed to recognize that both Terry and Crowbar found what I had to say intelligent enough to quote me in their posts so you can make of that whatever you want...if you have the brain power, that is.

Here's your post prior to the edit.

I just wanted everyone to read your beautiful economy of wording selection.

I love how you state that a message board is for "expressing opinions" and you follow it with such wonderful words to a respected female poster.

BTW, my initial post wasn't even directed at you whatsoever (did I spell that correctly?) cos frankly, I've never even noticed any of your posts prior.

Yes, it's true that infact I loooove my "Gladiator" avatar, title and what goes with it. DG gave me the av and I love her to death and the webbies gave me the title for fun. At the end of the day, I rather enjoy it as well. :cool:

Lastly, I read plenty of books. Unfortunately, they're lacking such wonderful uses of the English laguage such as "cunt" or "whore" regarding wimmin' as in your manditory reading.

I'll get back to whatever it is I read whilst you get back to the Hustler forums, eh?

In closing, go fuck yourself cos it's beyond evident no woman does nor is willing to do such a thing.

Fuck if I did - you're the one who stated something to the effect of 'anyone who doesn't agree with me is gay for Mikey' on the same page where I expressed a differing opinion. Like you didn't read it. And Bantonelli with her 'personal attack' bullshit. Who exactly did you have in mind when you were talking about that bearded collie?

Now look, can we agree not to shit all over this thread? I have about 20 minutes before I crash and I would be more than happy to go back and forth with you but it ain't right to do it here and I wont. Sorry.

Hey, my opinions are solely my own and as I already stated THEY WERE NOT DIRECTED TOWARDS YOURSELF NOR ANYONE AT THE ARMY!!! The jabs I made were directed to certain sheep (they know who they are) with big fucking mouths.

As for the rest, it was infact yourself who fired the first shots with the namecalling.

I'm all for peace on this board. So, if you were offended by my prior posts, I do apologize cos they were NOT directed towards yourself.

Whether I agree or not, I will step up to the plate and say good on you for backing off for the sake of the thread.

If you have any further beefs with me, please and by all means feel free to shoot me a pm, deal?
