dave was shooting his one liners...funny as hell

he said that their not coming back and coming on stage with walkers
like these other reunion tours do....he said there not gonna be like bono coming out with mullets,,,,lmao

[philouze]

FUCKIN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAA

Hum. Sorry.

[FORD]

Eddie referred to Dave as "my new brother". Ed, Dave, and Alex all making references to this being a "real band" and in this for the long haul, not just a one and done reunion tour.

They definitely looked comfortable together on stage, which they definitely did NOT in 1996.

[Fuct Jup]

Did the guys take any questions?

when is the new album?

Does Ed look sober?

[Redballjets88]

well im happy but im fucking pissed too. only 25 dates? wtf. the closest show to me is in MISSOURI it isn't worth driving all the way there. im pissed off.

[ALinChainz]

Ed kissed Dave ... they looked content ... Ed seemed a little irritated when asked about rehab and shit to me.

"This ain't the Police ... "

"It's Bono's job to save the world, we just want to save 100 cities."

[FORD]

I wonder how many of the "Other Half" sheep's heads exploded when Dave said they were "looking to the future, not the pasture" ;)

[Guitar Shark]

Any mention of new music?

[DLR2007]

Dave pretty much said that the album would come after the tour, but it sounds like they're all in agreement about making a record eventually.

I'd like to hear some new stuff on this tour, but then a lot of bands will do a "warm up" tour before they return to the studio, so it's not all that unusual. We are talking about a band who hasn't played together in 23 years, after all.

PRICELESS QUOTE!!!!! Sounds like Dave to me!!!!! ;) :) ;) :) ;)

[Hardrock69]

Yeah, so far seems like closest to me is fucking St. Louis.
Fortunately it is on a Sunday (Oct. 28), so I will only have to take one day off from work if that is where I have to go.

They should at least play Atlanta. That is only 3 hours away.

I can't believe they would play Gnashville. All the big bands don't seem to give a fuck about Gnashville anymore. :rolleyes:

Priceless. Perfect, Dave!

Dave's career has officially been resurrected.

you would think they would have at least 1 date in texas, between dallas, houston, austin, and san antonio there should be a tour stop. they don't need 4 dates in canada.

....they need more than 4.

This seems like a short list to me....perhaps a second leg will be added if the tour goes well.

Seems like alot of holes are left.

[113]

hey, will the press conference be on you tube, I can`t access that Ed radio show?

[113]

How are the band looking, is Ed stilll looking healthy?

[Douglas T.]

Look like a couple road trips! @%$#& First 9 hours to NC! Then it's winter time at the Grand Canyon baby Arizona bound!:cool:

[HippieLettuce]

That was excellent...

Dave was hilarious and more reserved (for Dave, anyway) than I expected...

He got booed for a Michael Jackson joke? Ridiculous...

[Douglas T.]

hey I just got a newsletter! let's see if there's any images!

[TVGUY]

Just pulled this off the CBS radio newswire..

ROTH : We started this approximately last October and the whole sound is
better than it's ever been. Wolf brings young energy and a spirit to this that
will knock you out of your socks.

Reporter : Are you going to do any of the newer material or from the Greatest
Hits you did a while back?

ROTH : Are you talking about the two songs from back when? You know there is a
catalog that is as familiar as (hums tune) where till today people stop in
crosswalks and act out the guitar solos in front of me in 23 different cities
here, so there's a sort of a provided thing. When the three tenors get
together you only wait for O Solo Mio and the rest of it you can barely
pronounce. With this you know every single song, every guitar lick, every
kick, every jump, every drum lick and we can't affor to shirk that duty.

EDDIE VAN HALEN : It is totally blowing our own minds and I think it will
yours too. It's better than it's ever been.

ROTH : This is not a reunion. This is a new band. This is a revision with hits
you are so familiar with - they're as familiar as the roof of your own mouth
is to you, but the ambition has nothing to do with old history. Usually when a
band comes back like us it's rockers with walkers and this is everything but.
Meet us in the future, not the pasture.

[DavidLeeNatra]

fuck...I have to admit that I feel all good now...

[113]

photos of press conference on Wireimage

[113]

Eddie looks very thin again!

[DavidLeeNatra]

...but quotes like "is my new broher...soulmate...best buddy..." coming from ed frighten me to death... :D

The baby boy has no clue how big this country is... they need more, like some SK dates!!!!

[Pasadena Bunnie]

It's about time Ed admit who is real Soulmate is...............Dave's always been there and he's the one you want on your side.

I love how Dave clarifies the "Reunion" as not being one, but rather a new Band!!!

Thanks to Wolfie for making this all become the Real Deal!

I too get the feeling that Wolf is a huge reason why this is happening.

Thanks Wolf.
