The Band Is Back In Hiding After This...
A quick thread I wanted to have concerning opinions of what the band is going to do next...
What amuses the hell out of me concerning the sheep is while they defend the band's actions, defending the horrible new songs by saying "the band's just warming up", defending another BEST OF by saying "they just needed something in stores before the tour...I love BEST OF's!", defending the boring set list and high ticket prices by saying "it's just great to have 'em back, the next tour will have a more interesting set list"...the band has made its money and once again, it's going to run!!
These sheep are so pathetic. They are running around, shouting "It's 5150 time!!" every two fucking seconds, making long threads about IT'S ABOUT TIME being better than every song on FAIR WARNING put-together, excited that the "legendary" band Van Hagar is back, when they have been duped. Sammy's recent comments about how the band will not do a new album and he is going back to play with the Waboritas speak volumes: THIS WAS A ONE-OFF TOUR TO MAKE MONEY. The set list looks like the set list from the VH3 tour with the Dave songs removed and replaced with songs Gary didn't want to sing like RUNAROUND (REACHAROUND), BEST OF BOTH WORLDS (WORST OF BOTH WORLDS) and LOVE WALKS IN (DEATH WALKS IN). They probably rehearsed for less than a week, and they obviously pulled out nothing new (at least nothing new that the Ched Rocker was willing to try). The band was obviously needing money, and the official story is just too neat. It's obvious that Sammy and the boys wanted some cash. This is no reunion that seems to have been inspired musically or personally: they have no real inclination to record or play new music, they don't travel together, they probably have no contact backstage.
But back to the music: they rushed through three fucking songs, for a best of package? Simple. They did the songs quickly so as to avoid too much unnecessary contact. Throw 'em on a BEST OF and get the fuck out of there! Do a big tour, take the money and run. Throw commercials on the radio showing Dave in 80% of the shots. Air commercials on the radio with mostly Dave-era material. And promote the tour as the "Van Halen Reunion Tour", but don't actually state "Eddie, Alex, Mike and Sammy" in the promotion (at least not in big letters)...kind of fools people, doesn't it? I guess they don't care that promoters are being fucked up the ass since the band get a guarantee?
Well, two things will happen from this tour shit:
1) the band will have a hard-time playing arenas again since they didn't come close to selling out almost any of them, plus they asked for too high a guarantee and promoters will learn
2) the band will have learned once and for all that Sam just isn't that popular and the band's name is only really valuable if it's the original band (at least now that people don't care about those Hagar albums anymore)...if they do a tour again, I'd be surprised if Dave isn't there.
The Azoff management has proven how fallible it really can be. But was anyone really surprised by how high these ticket prices were? Myself, I don't care. I wouldn't have gone anyway. I saw the BALANCE tour (yes, flame me). I don't need to see the UNBALANCED tour. But the sheep thought this was the "let's get our feet wet" tour, and they're going to be sorely mistaken.
1) Sam's work ethic is shit (at least with Van Halen).
2) The band went away for a long time before and didn't give a shit about the fans...they'll have no problem doing it again.
3) Ed has obviously not liked the critical abuse they've received in certain circles from not getting Roth back. They even felt they had to justify his non-inclusion in this reunion in early press statements because they knew that most people considered that the obvious reunion choice. It's obvious they know this kind of "reunion" is good for a quick cash-grab and go.
They're in no rush to work with Dave again. They don't give a shit about what fans want. If Dave stopped asking for 25%, maybe they'd have considered it before. But now that they've seen the crowds (or should I say small assemblies) once more, and now that it's been proven what little demand there is for new material, and now that they've been paid, Ed will crawl back into his hole, Alex will be able to pay his ex-wives again and Mikey will get fatter (although I'm sure he will do so to the tune of some excellent hot sauce...I love hot sauce myself). Sam, in the meantime, will go on living the lie his life is. ("I'm the biggest rock story in history...Mick Jagger calls me up and asks for pointers...the Cabo Wabo is the biggest tourist attraction in the world...VOA sold more than the White Album...Montrose was a bigger band than Aerosmith...Van Hagar has officially sold 250 million records in the U.S. alone...I have more fans than Led Zeppelin."
The band will never officially break up (they never did before). Weren't they working on an "album" five years ago? They'll probably stay completely quiet or talk again for years about some "album". They probably won't even say who the singer is...they won't make any mention of it. Sam was a hired hand for this tour, and there's good reason for it.
They're back in hiding, and the sheep are going to look dumber and dumber as the silence continues. And that'll be the fun thing. This place will probably become even more argumentative as us Rothtards are proven right. And eventually, Sam will say "I haven't spoken to Eddie in a year..." And maybe then, Dave will get the call. But just maybe. It's more likely that the band is completely finished.
If this is all not true, I'll be very surprised. They've hardly ever stated that they were back make albums and tour every other year.
Eat Sammy's meat, you sheep.
