Billy Sheehan wants a CVH reunion...AND an EEAS band reunion!

[jhale667]

Bryan Reesman of ADD blog posted an interview with Billy Sheehan regarding the Mr. Big reunion, etc. yesterday, and Bill brought up the possibility of a future EEAS band reunion. Nothing concrete, but definitely something he's still interested in doing...


(No, I have no idea what's up with Eric Martin's scarf either)

He also wants to see a full CVH reunion...love the comment "It's great VH is back together, but WHERE'S MIKE?? Some people say it's all about Dave and Eddie together again, but I want to see THE BAND, y'know?"

...an EEAS band reunion would be about as cool as a mr. Big reunion.....

Sheehan and Gilbert are MONSTERS (a fact indisputable) , and Pat Torpey is no slouch either. It's not all about their pop tunes, of which gems like "Green-Tinted Sixties Mind" were still cooler than any of the other crap on the radio at the time.


So in other words, pretty cool, but not like a full CVH reunion would be.

When other people say that, it saves me from having to say it all the time. So right the fuck on!!

As far as an EEAS reunion, it'd be interesting as a one-off kind of thing. Steve and Billy still get together every once in awhile and jam, and it's still fuckin' amazing. It either inspires or discourages alot of musicians when they do because they both still kick serious ass.

He's dead-on about VH. Ed needs to grow the fuck up, stop pissing in the fans face, and do something for the fans instead of himself.

GIVE ME VAN HALEN OR GIVE ME HEAD!!

......and God Bless Billy the badass bass player!!

I'd love to hear a handful of the Skyscraper tunes performed live with Sheehan, Gregg Bissonette (or Charlie Benante), Vai and of course, Dave out front. The louder and more distorted, the better. And please, turn up the bass.

I'm still waiting for Sheehan to "leak" that original master tape of Skyscraper that he says he has. I'd like to believe that album could be something other than the over produced, synthcheese-laden mess it turned into.

Yeah, would LOVE to hear that....

Yeah, I would love to hear a synth-free version of that, too, but I'm not sure if he can release that without Dave's blessing.....he did say he is going to flood YouTube with all his back catalog and was going to do it just to put that stuff out there, not for profit.

That's pretty classy, IMO!

Now if he just got out of that Scientology cult

Yeah, but Sheehan participated in one of those horribly tacky E! True Hollywood Story episodes, relating his experiences while dating the doomed porn star Savannah, and he didn't exactly come across as the sharpest knife in the silverware drawer. Then again, she wasn't exactly a NASA employee to begin with, so perhaps it was a match made in heaven.

He's a super-nice guy. Dealt with him in my music retail days, and he must live super-close to me because I run into him at my local supermarket occasionally, too...

Yeah, yeah...strategically located, what can I say. Don't hate.

I dunno...I think I would have been more impressed if J had banged into Savannah during his travels.

Who says I haven't? There was a time in the early 90s you couldn't go to the Rainbow Bar & Grill without tripping over her, does that count?
