Dave Should Never Go Back

[Thetruthbaby]

I'm convinced now more than ever. Dave should never go back to VH even if they were to beg him. He doesn't need money and VH are done. If this "reunion" ends after this tour (as it looks like it will) this thing will be one of the biggest busts in music history. To me that speaks volumes as to how important VHagar's legacy is. The classic material from the first 6 albums will continue to be played all over airwaves in the country, tribute bands will continue to pay homage to DLR era VH, and the first 6 albums will continue to sell. VAN HALEN's legacy is intact. Vhagar have shown just how much they meant to rock. DLR should just keep doing whatever he wants and never give VH another thought. Those 3 losers aren't worth his time.

I completely agree. DLR has moved on and has a good band. He will probably always treat us to the VH classics so no worries there. I'm sure he wouldn't want to be associated with them anymore than they. Van Hagar will now walk the hall of shame.

I don't want Dave anywhere near those fucks.

I would love to see a reunion, but after reading the recent article at Melodirock, DLR should just stay away. Sounds like Ed is heading down the same path his father did with the alcohol abuse. Now if Ed cleaned up his act and gave Dave a call that would be great.
But after waiting 20 years for a
reunion with the Diamond One, I won't hold my breath.

Amen, son. Very well put. I hereby award you, with honor and respect, for your hard work, dedication and perserverance against the enemy. Good show....jolly good show!

I agree 100% Dave should stay the fuck away from those clowns (and maybe Mike as well). The 6 pack are great albums, and in time they will achieve the legendary status they rightfully deserve (irrespective of how much Ed tries to fuck his own legacy up)

I disagree guys, Me wise and CGTSNM proved beyond a doubt that the 4 of them together again can produce fine results. They want to do this, as proved by the 2000 sessions where they made those 3 tunes Dave has referred too.

Dave would have everybody in line when they get together! bank on it.

[DavidLeeNatra]

I don't want to see four guys on stage together who hate each other the way it is between dave and the sisters...dave will always be out there doing something he wants to do...and us die hards will be there, too...I was always a dave fan first and then a =VH= fan. so I don't give a fuck about the other three bitter clowns...

[scottydabodi]

Very valid points! The condition that Ed's in is pathetic at best, and if you don't think that Brain Young can SMOKE Ed on the classic VH material, you're fuckin CRAZY!! The ONLY way a VH reunion with DLR could happen is if Ed gets, and stays sober, Alex shuts up and sticks to playing drums instead of trying to run the band, and Mikey just does what he's always done-take it in the ass whenever he can get it. The sisters would have to swallow their pride too, and make VH a dictatorship, with DAVE as dictator. DLR's the ONLY one out of the whole lot of them that actually knows what the fuck he's DOING!!!!!! Y'know what, fuck the sisters, and fuck Mikey... Let DAVE rule!!!!!!!!

For a Classic Van Halen reunion to really work, Eddie and Alex would have to allow Dave the kind of creative input he had in the early years. The amount of input Dave would have in terms of lyrics, melodies, artwork and the marketing of the band's image is probably a key reason why the reunion hasn't happened. Not just money.

The brothers are control freaks. They can no longer function as a REAL band. They won't even allow the bass player to play bass in the studio. How can we expect anything like the six pack under these circumstances?

Eddie and Alex are going to have to get over themselves and stop feeling hurt over the fact Dave quit almost 20 years ago. Work as a REAL band again, then it might be worth it.

[Ifyouseekay]

Talk about freaky.....I just seconds ago posted this in a get dave back thread. I was wondering when anyone was finally going to get it.

I find great comfort knowing others have finally started looking at the bigger picture, which is the intregity of everything Classic Van Halen was about. Once that's gone, there ain't no way to get it back.

Sarge, I say it's time to blow up the torch.
What is and what will never be.

If Dave ever shares a stage with the Van Halen brothers he will become the biggest sucker dumb ass weenie boy in rock faster than he can say "Look at all the people here tonight". The brothers will do something behind his back which will turn the Classic VH reunion into the biggest joke. Look what they did to this one. Sammy looks like such a chump for being stupid enough to go back.

I have never wanted the reunion to happen. Ever. It would have killed all the magic of Classic Van Halen for ever, and that is far worse than not doiing the reunion.

Be careful for what you wish for....

The only thing that i care about is that dave will still be alive and performing...

[Nitro Express]

The Van Halens are burnt and unstable. They are crazy fucks who ruin every relationship they ever had. Now they are stuck with each other. The gimp bass player and Ronald McHagar will bolt when the shows no longer bring the big bucks in.

Van Halen is over. Dave isn't going to let those two drunks screw him over a second time. I certainly wouldn't trust them.
