    Is Live8 the perfect platform?

    This is a thought I've had - Would Live8 be the perfect platform for the relaunch of Classic Van Halen? The biggest live platform since Band Aid, with the world watching.

      No...the perfect platform was 8 years ago...
      "Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."

        The lineups for the Live 8 shows are a piece of shit!

        No one will be watching.

                Me neither (there's no bands that really interest me), but my point is that people all over the world will be watching.

                Pink Floyd have reformed for it, and they are the act that most people are looking forward to (and they will undoubtly use this as a platform to relaunch). Now picture this, Classic Van Halen choose to add their name to the line up and with the world media watching they walk on stage and rip it up for say 3 songs.

                Even if they only played 3 songs imagine the headlines that would generate.

                  Imagine how Roys fan base would squeal like wieners on a barbecue.

                    It would be great to see, but Dave is playing

                    Milwaukee that day.

                    I seriously hope Live 8 is an overwhelming success.

                    I wish they could wipe out third world debt.

                    Then in a couple of years they could have another one

                    to help people in the western world pay off Visa, Mastercard,

                    and American Express. JK:D

                      I'll probably just watch it for Pink Floyd, Velvet Revolver and Brian Wilson. Flick back and forth every 20 minutes.

                        most are crap, but the London gig is stacked. Floyd will be the headline getter back with Waters, a reunited VH would not be as big as the Floyd returning I dont think...and Im not even a big fan of theirs

                            Live 8

                            Roxy Music at Brandenburg Gate, Berlin that would be the deal
                            some of the other line ups are good I wonder if Brian Ferry
                            will sing I bet they can still wail they were so sharp back in the
                            day

                              From the artist listings I have heard, Pink Floyd is the only thing I would be interested in seeing. Out of ALL the bands.
