      Ya know, just because the chance of a CVH reunion is negligible does not mean that Van Halen is "dead". O.K. so there probably will be no more new music with the CVH lineup; there will be no more music with the classic Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd lineup either and there is a tremendous internet community regarding those and other bands I could site. I don't want to get sappy, but the music that these bands made touched a lot of people in very significant ways - they made us all very happy in one way or another in a shit world that for the most part sucks. Even the posters on this site who inssesantly rag on Dave will agree that the music that Van Halen made with Roth was awesome and still has some merit to most of our lives or we wouldn't be here in the first place. I would still rather listen to any of the classic 6 instead of 98% of what I have heard to come out since 1985 and you can throw every grunge, hip-hop and this new batch of hard rock and emo poser bullshit in the 98% category as well. So because there will be no new VH music does not make this site obsolete or irrelevant. I for one still enjoy reading about the band and have gained a lot of insight from the posts on this forum and on the main page in the short time I have been a member. Additionally, I find a lot of the posts fucking hilariously entertaining.

      So if you are burned out on the site - o.k. take a break.....but I respectfully disagree with the implication that because there will be no renion, there is no point to this site.

        Wow...don't be so bummed. There are web sites for everything, existant and non-existant. Sorry your life sucks. Maybe you can start you're own web site, or even church. Call it "The Assembly of the First Assembly of Van Halen". Maybe this will bring more happiness in your life....

            There are those that do and those that don't. Those that didn't see what those that did had done and wish they had especially when "She looked so F#*kin GOOD"

                Hey nice post there Silent Maybe CVH is no longer live in concert but that's what a site like this is for. You may or may not remember the days before Sammy came along but starting a senseless thread like this is stupid. It's pretty obvious there won't be a reunion and Dave's going to be doing radio so just sit back and listen to some old Halen and think of Beautiful girls...Peace

                    If you're referring to me I didn't mean to post a quote and leave that as a reply, got a little side tracked that's all. Chill out. If you were referring to the thread starter then I appologize for overreacting :-)

                        Van Halen was just an average band with a unique "at the time" guitarist. If not for Eddie Van Halen they would have gone nowhere, probably not even playing close to the "Strip" in LA. The first time I heard them on the radio in the late 70's I thought that it was Black Oak Arkansas. Dave got a lot of his schtick from Jim Dandy of Black Oak..but again, this ain't anything new.

                        Why aren't they in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

                        It's great to have this web site, obviously people still dig the old Van Halen and Dave Roth. Lots of hits on the site. More power to it.

                        I like Dave, he's an asshole, but a good, cocky dude. This is why he will be fantastic on radio. People tend to dig him.

                        Eddie on the other hand, seems like a totally miserable fellow. The spotlight lasts only so long.

                              Yeah, okay there is nothing going on in the VH camp and their reunion with Sham Fatgar took the legacy of VH to a new level of embarassment. The Diamond One is heading for a new career in radio and the real VH has been split for 21 years, despite a tease reunion which shook the world of Rock music to it's core for about 10 minutes. It is frustrating to be a fan of the band VAN HALEN. But this site is worth a visit if not for the comradery, but the fact that this site keeps classic VH alive.
                              Lets be realistic, the VH sisters made it real clear that DLR is not in their future, so if you need a dose of classic DLR/VH this site accomodates us quite well. The bootleg posts are great and if you want a debate, you can find one here 24-7. I just recently had a war with The frying dutchman which got pretty heated, but I got some major laugh's out of it also. The DLR ARMY was a great find, but if you are looking for new news, your grasping at straws because VH has gone into seclusion and their well has pretty much run dry. Their only trump card is DLR, and pride with a huge dose of ego prevents them from using that card. This is a fun site to visit, but what else would you expect from something that carry's the moniker of THE DIAMOND ONE.
