I think Dave would *LOVE* to do this!
A billion of his closest friends etc...........

At this point in the game, CVH really don't have the luxury of waiting for all the stars to line up in some sort of harmonic convergence sand hold out for 'the right moment' to reunite.

If those fuckers wanna get it together, ANYTIME is the right time, preferrably sooner than later.

Totally agreed that 1996 was the best opportunity.

[The Scatologist]

LOL what makes ya think Alex has any will to do anything charitable?

[Redballjets88]

i think CVH reunion would be bigger than floyd... look at how turulant their history has been hell the VH1 countdown of biggest rivalries had dave on 2 times and numero uno was dave vs vh. if they reunited it would rule the earth stadium seat world tour baby

[POJO_Risin]

I don't think Floyd is going to use this as a relaunch...I think they are going to do a one spot deal...

I suppose I could see a tour...

but really...who cares...

Van Halen with Roth at this show would be a resounding moment...don't get me wrong...but...

1. It's not going to happen...

and

2. It WON'T be nearly as big as it could have been...

spED has turned this band into an afterthought...

[POJO_Risin]

Live8 isn't going to have half the world watching...no fucking way...not even close....

and won't come close to Live Aid...

[Halen High]

It won't happen of course, but a reunited CVH appearing at Live8 would go a long way to reminding a lot of people, okay not half the world, but certainly a significant number of people, what the REAL VH was and is all about.

The brothers have done a hell of a job destroying the band's legacy and reputation, and one thing a CVH reunion would need right from the start is a massive publicity campaign to rid the band of the boring, cheesey, turn-off Van Hagar tag to reinvigorate interest.

And consider this, the only 'VH' Australia has ever seen tour is Van Cherone!!!

No doubt 1996 was be the best time to do it.

[Panamark]

Of course it would be a great platform for them. Thats why
it wont happen. Like we are ever going to get a sensible
decision out of these fucksticks ??

Agreed.

London will far and away have the best show.

The Philly lineup sucks balls. We're all deeply disappointed that 50 Cent decided to pull out. (Too bad his father couldn't have done the same.....)

Still stuff on the wind about the Stones showing in Philly...that would be the only thing that would make the Philly show worth noting.

As for CVH.....anytime is the right time at this point. The death clock is ticking LOUDLY for EVH, both personally and professionally.

Time waits for no man....

[fryingdutchman]

Speaking of time....

I'm surprised that some cocksucking Sammy lover hasn't started with "It's About Time" in this thread.

[Wonder Twins]

It makes all the sense in the world. Which in turn means it aint happening. I try to convince myself we will see a tour with CVH. I think in the back of my mind I really believe there is no way we will see them back together. I think eddie might be dead before the band wakes up and reunites.

[Vinnie Velvet]

There may not be an ORIGINAL Van Halen tour since Mike has his head so far up Sammy's ass that he can only see...well.....Sammy up there.

I say to hell with Mike and bring in Billy Sheenan!

[Wonder Twins]

would be cool to billy in VH. However, we waited so long to see a cvh show, i would want it in it's orignal format.

[thome]

If cvh reunited they would have to play some hagar NO WAY that dave,
would do that, and justifyably so, not their best mucic by far..( but
the promoters would insist on some of their most commercially
successful tunes being played)YOU DIG that is were the problem lies,
Best Chance??? Dave & Eddie w/ back up Bass & Drum MY OP
I'll bet real money dave has already turned prior scenario down!!He
said years ago best part of my life.. Sam has to sing my music but i never have to sing his(not exact)

[intruder3906]

Look......yet another reunion thread....look people,ive been a cvh fan since 78 when they blew sabbaths 10th anniversary tour apart,but all these threads about a reunion ?? day in day out......its never gonna happen.!!! be told...get over it...
