The Bass player must know it's over for him and VH... Like he was even there for the "Me wise Magic sessions" or the negotiations in 2000. Before last years sheepfest Dave probobly talked the the sisters more than Mike or Sam over the last 7 years or so.

Re: A little tidbit from Blabbermouth

Nothing really new hear execpt maybe they tried more times than we all thought about a reunion with DLR. After I read that it hit me that maybe they after all these years they don't dislike each other as much as we thought they did. Sounds like they really wanted to do it.
From Blabbermouth.net
Launch Radio Networks reports: Prior to its 2004 reunion with Sammy Hagar, VAN HALEN made repeated attempts to put together a project with original singer David Lee Roth. But bassist Michael Anthony told Launch that none of the Roth reunions took hold. "We tried to do the reunion thing with Roth, I think, three, four, I don't know how many times, you know, on any kind of level," he said. "At the end it was almost like, 'Let's just see if we can go out and play some shows and not even go in the studio,' and we couldn't even work that out with Roth. And at that point, I was so frustrated."
Roth and VAN HALEN parted ways in 1985, after which he was replaced by Hagar. Roth rejoined the group briefly to record two new songs for 1996's "The Best of Van Halen, Volume 1".
Since leaving the band, Roth has maintained a career as a solo artist and actor, and also wrote an autobiography called "Crazy From The Heat". He also trained as an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) technician.
VAN HALEN is currently on hiatus after last year's tour with Hagar.
The sisters wanted to pay Dave minimum wage like they do Sambo, and Dave told us to fuck off.

Sounds like good news overall. There is a desire to put the real deal on the road and in the studio.
I'm sure there are three main problems to be resolved.
1) Lawyers slicing up the financial pie. Both now and for past reparations.
2) Lawyers slicing up the management pie. Who's people are in control of tours, new music, swag...etc.?
3) Musical control, including a set list. I can NEVER see Dave singing Dreams."Float like a butterfly. Sting like a B-52." - DLR=VH=

You're probably right on the money Hollywood Jesus. Interesting how lawyers appear in 2/3 of your reasoning!Originally posted by Hollywood Jesus

Whenever lawyers get involved, things get FUBAR'd. Same thing with politicians.
Your last one is interesting....as I've always wondered if a Roth/VH Reunion would dip into the "Hagar songbook" at all. I would hope not...but can you really turn your back on 10 years of material, even if it pretty much SUCKED?
Roth singing "Seventh Seal" or "Spanked".....the mere thought gives me douche chills.Originally posted by perilouspete

remember dave saying "if eddie can find the building anything can happen" asked what he thinks about the RNRHOF thing?
he experienced anything we have seen and heard about the last tour, with eddie drinking and fucking up the songs. no way dave would ruin the legacy of CVH with going on tour with mr fingers in this condition...sam didn't give a flying fuck for ed's health or the quality of the show and did it for the fast buck...

Good point. What the fuck is so complicated about a 4 way 25% split anyway? That's fair enough for live performances. Sure Dave & Eddie might deserve a larger cut, but if the lawyers are the problem, then cut the goddamn pie into 4 slices and hit the road. As far as songwriting royalties go, we all know Alex and Mikey don't write shit, so there's no point in even arguing that one. Ringo doesn't get a cut of the Lennon-McCartney songbook, nor should he.Originally posted by Shaun Ponsonby
Dave and Spammy on the same bill again...never going to happen. Its sad that people can't put their differences aside. I guarantee that if Ed, Al, Mike and Dave sat in a room for a while and said "Lets just see what happens, it will work. Fuck the lawyers, fuck the accountant, lets do it for the fans, and ourselves.Eat Us And Smile

Think the only thing stopping CVH from getting it together is a lack of consensus on how the profits should be split.
Makes sense in light of Ed's "the lawyer's got in the way" remarks of a few years ago."Hear that O.F.?

A four way split is fair even though Al and smurf do nothing.
But they should donate some money to Spam's ex wife who
he fucked royally in the divorce settlement.

Nah. Ed still can't stand Dave. They were probably friends for about an hour in their life. Ed only tolerated Dave because Dave ran everything. The worst thing that happened was the succes of VH without Dave because Ed had no reason put up with him anymore. DD has to stop goofing on Ed or the glorious reunion will not occur. The old arrangement won't work unless Ed is on skid row. Oh yeah. I've seen him lately. My bad.Comment

"So there, I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopkeeper and his son... that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes...Nasty business, really, but sure enough I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show..."Comment

I totally agree. That's why it was called BOBW, but even one song by Sammy would be one too many for Dave.Originally posted by BrownSound1
The recent Van Hagar tour was originally intended to have Dave on the bill as well.Comment
