I think it would be almost definitely going to happen if it wasn't for the Hagar book.
There is also the factor that objectively the Van Hagar stuff has just not aged well. I hated 5150 at the time but I loved EEAS but taking a step back it has to be said that neither has aged well. In the same way that for whatever reason Black Sabbath still resonates with young people today, Roth Van Halen does too. It's easier for Wolfgang to go from Light Up The Sky to Tremonti than it would for him to be doing cheesy fucking Baywatch musak like 'When It's Love'.
No need to listen to idiots like us, all you need to do is pay attention to what radio stations play....
For every 20 Van Halen songs you hear, about 17 or 18 are Roth-era...
While there's no way to prove that, it's pretty damn accurate....Eat Us And Smile - The Originals

I have mixed feelings on it.
A Van Hagar reunion would at least take us back to the old days where haters had a legitimate target rather than each other...Comment

The bottom line is this: is Ed willing to tolerate another tour with Dave? It's beyond obvious he has little respect for what Dave brings to the table. Ed's comment that for whatever reason people want to hear Roth singing in VH is proof enough of that. I'd rather see Dave up there than anybody else. But again, we are in a very small group of people who actually give a shit. This ain't 1996 and it's never gonna be again. I don't think even brining Mike back will bring the fans back in record numbers, not unless they do it in a huge way. Insert Super Bowl reunion speculation here.
So we know Ed could give a shit less who is singing, so long as the seats get filled. His kid wants to do something else so maybe Ed can finally cut the apron strings and do something without his security blanket standing on the other side of the stage. Who's gonna be up there singing is anybody's guess. But if I had to bet - I'd toss a hun in with Von.American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.

I have a feeling that Roth Army only exists in fairy tales. Can't say for sure because I found this site looking to see if the rumors Roth was back in Van Halen were true. Didn't even know sites like this existed. I used my computer for two things. Spider Solitaire and porn.Beware of DogComment

So what are you trying to say here, Donnie? That F A T makes noise? Suzanne Vega once did a tune called 'Blood Makes Noise' but I don't believe she is talking about pretentiousness in her tune. Spammy looks like the little boy who refuses to get out of the sandbox here. Token black guitar player. A lot of "Whhhaooooooo's" and some embarrassing jumping and down. Yeah, I think not even intensive therapy can help him.Comment

The next video you will see will be of a raspy voiced masked individual using rusty pliers to remove the fingernails from a certain pudgy set of hands . Being hog-tied and apple gagged is not very romantic .Comment

I believe this will be the next Van Halen money grab. I've always expected it to happen. I believe Ed is in such a strong frame of mind right now, he could easily mend fences with Clichegar, and do this. We'll see exactly how much of a man of his word Clichegar really is. Will he pimp Mike to do it? I believe the guy wouldn't think twice about leaving Mike out, for the opportunity to tour with Ed again. Of course, he'll say he worked it out with Mike, and Mike gave his blessing, to try to make himself look better. Or, will Wolf do the keyboard duties, and let Mike back to play bass? How fucking pissed would Roth era fan be if Clichegar not only gets himself back in the band, but Mike too! Ha ha ha! Damn, I almost hope this happens, just so I can see all the bullsthit from the fans of both eras.
I believe Wolf has probably tired of most of the same old setlist. I believe the whole band has tired of Dave.
I didn't expect Wolf to ignore that era of his Dad and Uncle's music.
I believe the lack of ticket sales at a lot of this past tours venues, has made Wolfgang realize that the best way to pad his bank account, is to propose a Hagar reunion.
Let's face it. Wolfgang cannot make the kind of money on his own, that he can with his Dad and Uncle. There's not a promoter out there that is going to touch another tour with Dave, for the kind of upfront money they now demand. Wolf knows he has for the most part tapped out the fan base of the original era. Now it's time for him to reach into the pockets of the Van Hagar era fans.
Can't blame the kid. It will do nothing more than ensure he never has to get a real job.Comment

Me and Von Halen have chatted about this last night and i'm in full agreement with him. I think David Lee Roth is DONE with Van Halen. I think it's not a coincidence Wolf and Sammy both played Right Now on the same night. If this is true and they bring back Sammy for another run with Van Halen I won't be upset in the slightest bit... in fact i'll be happy. I miss his solo material and the DLR Band. Also, we'll get the long awaited John 5 album that has been shelved the past couple years. Most importantly I miss the days of bashing the fuck of out Ed and Alex. This will give me a reason to as I have been itching to do so.
Oh yeah, I wanna see everyone crying about it too. I laugh at that shit.Last edited by WARF; 10-25-2015, 04:10 PM.Comment
