The window of opportunity was in '96 for me. When that didn't happen, I knew that was probably it for a reunion with Dave. At this point, it would be extremely embarrassing for DAVE to be seen with the likes of Edwina & Alice! Nor do I want that! That band is dead to me. I'm content with DLR's band now, plus there's plenty of boots along with the six pack.
When Will We All Give Up?

I'd still pay money to see a CVH renuion. I don't care if it is the middle of Iraq. I'd get there by camel if I had to. David still has the pipes. I saw it on New Years Eve. I may of criticized his some of his current stage antics, not the mans voice. Ed doesn't have it now. HE'S lost it, but the good news is that he can get it back.
No one on this board can deny that when the VH Circus pulled into your town (circa 1975-1984), it was like a band of outlaws wreaked havoc and fury, rape and pillaged and you not only got to witness it, but you can buy a T-shirt for it. You go to show, your heart raced. you are inside and lights go out at the local rock arena in Anytown, USA. You got goosebumps. The crowd screams as Eddie (not Edward!) played the first notes of that overture that sounds like he has twelve fingers and three hands and is making a gutar do things that sound like a pig is being sodomized. On the back Al's behind a drumset that looks like a combination of a 55 DeSoto and the USS Nimitz and he's beating it with two Louisville Slugger drumsticks. While Mike plays the E string on the bass setting that groove. This combination of noise makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. You were in for a party, a party that was a combination of bongwater, Qualudes, NO2, warm beer, urine and Caligula. Then like a lightning bolt the lights flash on and out leaps our hero from the drum riser. Tanned, stoned and ready to be your jungle guide. So starts the assault: Romeo Delight, So This Is Love, Romeo Delight, Jamie Cryin. the solos, your high school sweetheart being picked out of the crowd and taken backstage to be devoured by the band. The grit, the filth...the fun
That was VH.
They can do it then and they can still do it now.
I still believe.....I've got to.
God bless CVH,
Alex (not Van Halen)
DLR lived the dream, I can only fucking write about it....Last edited by conyo; 01-11-2005, 02:42 AM.Comment

"Grow up"?
If, by that, you mean acceptt a pale imitation of the greatest American Hard Rock band, flaccid power ballads, and sub-par, drunken musical wanking....the answer is NEVER.
Ain't no SHEEP here, BABY!!!!Comment
