There are a few differences between this scenario and that one... IMO.

Shut up!

I love this, you guys are great. Yes I admit it I was pullin your chain. I was listening to some STP in the car and thougt wow you know that would not be bad Dave teaming with former STP bros.
You know with Scott teaming with G n R boys and Chris teaming with the Rage
guys I thought why not Dave and STP. You have to admit they would make money, lots of it. And it would be cool to hear what they sound like. Sorry if I freaked anyone I was just meant it to be a fun post.
Those that called me on the bullshit I salute you.

Awww, it's a slow news week anyway, short of the "Dave the Hero" story

JYD!! GIMME A HEADBUTT, PAL!!! Diamond Temple? Dave already has a better band than the DeLeo Dummies... DeLeo trying to play "Elephant Gun" would make me CRY I'd be laughing so hard....

Wouldn't even care if Roth went on the road with the DeLeo brothers and kept the classic VH and solo Roth to a minimum. Dean could pull off enough of the CVH standards to keep everyone happy, and Roth's been ignoring his solo catalog live for so long, why bother starting now (when was the last time "Elephant Gun" was aired live anyway? 1988...maybe? Even Brian Young couldn't pull off Elephant Gun)?

Besides, outside of Ray, have heard nothing else out of Dave's other current band members that suggests they're really adept at anything beyond being in a shit-hot Van Halen cover band (brian demonstrates the ability to transcend this at times).

Dave could sure tear up those Pilot songs if given a chance though.

Here's a setlist I'd dig:

1. NEW ROTH/DL TUNE ( N R/DL T )
2. Dirty Movies
3. Wicked Garden
4. N R/DL T
5. Vasoline
6. Fools
7. N R/DL T
8. Secrets
9. Can't Get This Stuff No More
10. N R/DL T
11. Army Ants
12. Sex Type Thing
13. Running With The Devil
14. Take Your Whiskey Home
15. N R/DL T
16. Interstate Love Song
17. Everybody Wants Some
18. Aint Talkin Bout Love

You could alternate what STP and CVH/solo Roth tunes were played as the tour went on.


All of this Roth/STP stuff is bullshit, anyway. Maybe the DeLeos should hook up with the ex-lead singer from Talk Show. Heard he's got a lot of free time on his hands these days, too.

[Junk Yard Dog]

I thought Talk Show sucked, that was the STP guys just getting fed up with Scot's continuing problems and trying to show him they could go on without him and the CD flopped! Suddenly Scotts herion addiction got managable again!

I dig your wish set list very well done. I had read that the DeLeo brothers were talking to Chris Robinson from the Black Crowes and I really thought Dave was a better fit than Robinson.

Dude, that is one sweet fucking set list. I would love to see a show like that.

This band would be awesome.

[Dutch]

Geez, talk about desperation. Are things getting so stagnate on the boards we're having to start making shit up?

Even if it will never come to pass, I'd dig seeing that too. Much more so at this point than another round of Dave hitting the road and doing virtually all classic VH tunes without VH, and only because he's done that fairly recently and for for a few years running now. Pretty obvious he'd do some VH stuff no matter what, but mixing up his setlists would be a good idea.

Hey, talking about the above hypothetical beats being reduced to responding to the overload of Van Hagar 2004 threads, no matter which way you cut it.

[Vanstonica]

I don't think this is going to happen, but I'd sure as hell buy front row seats if it did.

...and about Dave not headlining; I don't think he'd really have a problem with it. I know this is a few years back, but I thought the opening slot with Bad Company was a great move for him. It got his name back in the spotlight.

Let's just hope this "Diamond Temple", if it takes place, doesn't turn into another "Slash's Snakepit". One guy with legit talent trying to bil out a bunch of hackers.
