Realistically........

[Bill Lumbergh]

...........how many copies would a CVH reunion album sell today? We all know a tour would be through the roof, but what are your thoughts on how the album would do with the masses?! Assuming there is no hit single(they were never about that anyway with Dave) of course.........Gold(they would hit that plateau EASILY I'm sure)? Platinum? Yes, I know album sales dont mean a fucking thing as long as we dig it, but whatever.........

[Nickdfresh]

Multiplatinum providing they can rouse some of the ol' magic.

[rikredbrain]

now i voted DIAMOND.. cus thats the only way fer van halen to go...

[moose]

Exactly how they left off in 1984.........shining like a "Diamond"

[Warham]

Realistically, probably a platinum album, but not much more.

They won't get any kind of push from any of the media establishments, which is required for you to break the 10 million mark anymore. Even aging rockers like the Who, Stones and Zeppelin, if reunited (and all the members were still alive) would sell in excess of about 5 million copies.

I'd say lowball estimates of about 800k-1m range. Highball would be in the 1.8-2m range.

well in reality ..... sadly i agree the van halens have screwed up so much over the last twenty years that the name Van Halen is a joke...........but in my head




double diamond dave triple platinum gold edged wrapped in the finest silk hand crafted by the aliens in area fifty one sealed with air breathed by god himself........

is that overkill?

[canadiandlrgirl]

Diamond of course were talking about David Lee Fucking Roth here the greatest frontman of all time no one can top him in my opinion CVH=DLR=DIAMOND

Multicolor

Multiorgasmic

Multiplatinum

I'd say about 2 million copies. The media and the world still want a Diamond Dave/VH reunion. It would be BIG news.

I agree that's what i want

[rikredbrain]

there would be alot of happy people the day they announced that......

if only

maybe if we all close our eyes and wish as we click our heels togethr three times

[jojo2371]

remember folks the bov1 sold almost 3 million alone with no support! if 2 news songs can generate those kinda sales ,12 new songs and a full tour in support of the record could do 5-7 million in sales!

Could see it moving a million units/going platinum without difficulty. Could even see it doing 2 or 3 million if some of the tracks found some heavy rotation on rock radio.

But I don't see it going Diamond. 10 million CDs is a shitload, and let's not forget it took Van Halen's debut album and 1984 quite a bit of time after the initial release dates to reach that status.

Hate to say it, but am sure there are more than a few who bought CVH records back in the day who don't even listen to that stuff anymore, or have no interest in what CVH would be currently doing.

Plus, all the bullshit put out post-1984 under the name 'Van Halen' helped whittle away some more of the classic fanbase. Would be pretty much a given that I'd get a copy, but I doubt that everyone who was into the band when they were still classic would feel the same way.

I could see It going platnium. Of course would MTV show a video they would release to increase popularity? Probably not unless Dave and Ed rapped a song. LOL
