I think this is similar to what Bad Company did in 1999, tour solely for the purpose of promoting their 2 CD "Anthology" greatest hits album. Of course at least that was the original fucking band getting back together whereas this is not.
Judging by the tour dates, and I know it's not final, I get the impression they're not going to be doing shows night after night, it's just gonna be dates here and there over the summer to get people to buy a Best of Vol. 2. Like Bad Co. did, they'll probably disband right after that. Maybe ride into the R&R HOF in March 2005 (I'm betting that's part of the motivation to do this, to get the name "Van Halen" out there). But then after that, they'll call it quits.
What's sad is that this is supposed the last hurrah and redemption. After this year I don't think there are any plans to go forward with a brand new Van Hagar album, not that I want one. What a really pathetic way to go out. Yeah I guess it's a little better than fading into TOTAL obscurity with the sour notes of "How Many Say I," but it's not much better.
And they'll act like Sammy Hagar really was the lead singer for Van Halen all along, and integral part of the band, and 1978-84 was just a warmup.
FUCK YOU EDDIE, SAMBO, AND THE WHOLE IDEA OF VAN HAGAR!!!!!
