The Van Hagar Reunion: How long will it last?

Well strictly speaking all of them!

But why buy the Best Of II when you have them all already?

I'm not going to buy the album.

I'm just saying there will be Dave era on the album, since it's a greatest hits album.

There will be Dave era, Sammy era, and a VH3 track on there as well.

Who here knows for a fact that it's Eddie's fault? Last I read, he was willing for the reunion to happen with Dave.

It amazes me how much hatred people have for a musician and the people who admire them. I could care less what any other person I know in real life listens to and damn sure don't base my opinion of them on whether they like a band that I do. How can you be a VH fan and hate 3/4 of them if 1 isn't involved? It may not feel the same, but it's still the same band that played on the same albums you love. It's not like the Stones, The Who, Aerosmith, Robert Plant or Jimmy Page are still cranking out the same kind of stuff that made them rock gods. But you still go, because they deliver.

As far as Dave goes, I'll go see him every time he comes near, just like I will with the rest of the band. Hell, I flew to Seattle to see him. I'll still buy his music. But damn, I'd go listen to Mick Jagger with a bunch of local musicians just to hear him play. And then the next night I'd go see Keith Richards do the same. I'd be sad they weren't together, but grateful to see them play live.

Where?

[Dave IS VH]

I can't remember Eddie saying any where about him wanting a reunion with Dave.

I've seen and heard many times Dave wanting a reunion with VH, besides if Eddie wanted a VH reunion with Dave, why did he choose Spammy for the gayest tour of the summer?

[diamondD]

"It was looking pretty good for a reunion until the lawyers got involved"

"Dave, call me" That one happened in public.

"He was even kind enough to send me to see his uncle in Houston" for cancer.

Val even said on radio that they were waiting on Dave to call.


Wasn't he saying at one point that the ball was in Dave's court and he doesn't know what goes on in other people's realities?

I really don't know what Eds motiviation is. If he really wanted to make some $$$, he'd be putting out a boxed set of unreleased tunes and live DVDs pre-85. He's a lazy fucker, so why even tour? With Fat Sam no less!

He said befor he didn't want to become a nostalgia act, but thats exactly whats goin on.

Ed, you're an idiot.

I wanna hear Dave's take on this whole thing. If Dave were being vocal about this, it'd make it a lot easier on me. That fucker could sell me on pretty much anything.

What's really going to piss them off is the endless bombardment of Roth questions during every interview. That, in and of itself almost makes this whole thing funny.

Dave's shoes and shadow will forever gloom on them throughout the tour. Hahahaha!!!! Spammy, you dumb motherfucker!!! You must love pain because you will be reminded everywhere you go AGAIN that you are not the original, you never were nor ever will be the front page.

How fucking true!

The expression " Silence speaks volumes"

certainly rings true for Diamond Dave these days reacting about the upcomming Van Hagar disaster!

This is what some would call sarcasm. Don't ya get it? Never mind. Sheesh!

[Big Troubles]

I still dont understand why a BOVII ? What are they touring, all the old sammy shit with 3 new songs? Thats gonna bomb.
Id skip the BOVII and do an original album, tour the fuck outta it, then start thinking about another best of....too soon for a second.

[DavidLeeNatra]

I have six "best of" albums...enough for me...
