Interesting take on it... somewhat believable..."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...” -
Reaffirms some of what I thought/guessed back then, which is that Wolfgang was the one among the Van Halens who initiated bringing Roth back into the band and that Ed was basically playing because he enjoyed playing with Wolfgang...that had it all been left up to Eddie and Wolfgang wasn't brought into the band, a Roth reunion wouldn't have necessarily happened when it did. I think Wolfgang was a positive choice, despite how freak-show he looked onstage during that first Roth Reunion tour, in that it facilitated getting Roth back and probably helped get Ed in a frame of mind to attempt to get sober and active.
Although I think the band would have gotten back with Dave eventually, Wolfgang or not, if Ed and Al wanted to play in arenas again. After the Cherone stint and the 2004 tour, no promoter was going to pay substantial guarantees for a Van Halen that didn't have Dave in it.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

I’ve said it a Brazilian times , without wolf ed never tours again or gets any further than practice with al in his little comfort blanket and probably drinks himself to death covered in porn wives.
Probably .fuck your fucking framingComment

True enough.
Ed likes playing music with his kid.
And his kid was aware enough that getting Dave back in the band was the only realistic move the group had left in 2006, and - more importantly - the one person Ed would actually listen to.
In the end, it wasn't a bad thing. His enjoyment of playing with his kid got Ed out of his downward spiral, got him out of his bunker mentality and got him back on the road. Not too far-fetched to say it probably added some years on to his life Ed might not have had left to his own devices and inclinations.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Isn't it funny. For years we were starving for news like that. And now they hardly blow the dust out of the Main Forum.

Yeah, because from 1999-2006, outside of the 2004 tour there was little other than silence from the group. Only made sense during that time frame that many of us here would have had a great deal of interest in behind the scenes stuff.
Now, after the band having reunited for a decade - and the result of said reunion being average to good at best - who is really all that excited to hear the inside skinny on what the Van Halens and Roth were up to in 2006?Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Might be an interesting read, but at the end of the day, What the fuck does it matter? These guys pissed away the better part of what could have been the most popular years after their hey day, being pissy about their best years...Chainsaw MuthuafuckaComment

Oh, to be sure.
1996 was a blown opportunity at having a 2nd chance that went beyond a couple of tracks for a greatest hits release. That year was really the best chance the band had at reuniting when they were still relatively young enough and still had some creative juice left in the tank.
The decade after 1996 wasn't a good one for Ed, and it was ten years of wasted time for a band that really didn't have time to waste in terms of a reunion being something other than what it ended up being.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Dave nearly cancelled the tour because he couldn't get 20 'midgets' at every venue?Comment
