Has Spammy's Van Hagar actually sold out any shows yet ??

[Brett]

Ok Cat. I don't like the Eagles. Sorry you think I should.

[Panamark]

The Eagles are not one of my favorites either, but Im trying to think of recent "Reunions" on the same level as Van Hagar, and how they fared comparitively with ticket sales. The Eagles and Kiss sprang to mind. I wonder if they still had plenty of seats available after weeks of ticket sales ?? Did the Eagles opening show not sell out after weeks of available tickets ?

[worldbefree]

Why would they add second dates if they didn't sell out the first day? I know they added a second date for NJ. I'm not going and I'm not defending this shitty reunion, just asking a question. I find it strange that none the radio stations, at least in the NY area, are talking about this tour. You hear more classic VH stuff on the radio then ever before.

As a goof I think Dave should follow the tour around setting up a stage in the parking lot of each arena to play original VH songs.

Have to ask someone who gives a shit about the Eagles, I wouldn't have the foggiest.

Yes you would!

They're the same band now. Pussy lead singer. Pussy love songs. Yuppie rock chords. All about the money.

Come on bro! Yer no fun anymore!

[Brett]

Whatever you say Cat.

The Eagles were a great band and great songwriters. Obviously you have no taste in music.

It's actually the afternoon Marky Mark, but close enough.

Why do you assume the reaction isn't good? They've added multiple dates in several cities, and they are topping Pollstar which lists top tours. (it's not a BS list btw, have no idea where you guys got that from. Pollstar is well respected in tracking concert sales). I'm not understanding why you say it's going poorly? Because they haven't sold out all 37 announced dates 2-4 months before the actual shows? And like I told you yesterday, NONE of the California shows are even on sale to the general public yet. No I don't get your point, not in the slightest bit. I'd say the response has been pretty damn good. Let's figure 37 dates and 20,000 per venue is like 750,000 tickets to sell. That's a lot of fucking tickets to be 100% sold out of in less than two weeks, I don't care who the band is. And nobody is getting good seats in a lot of the venues that went on sale first, so you know they're pretty full. Behind the stage, next to the stage, those are BAD seats, end of story.

I have no idea what they are touting this tour as. Sam played with the band for 10 years. He left. Now he's back 8 years later. I'd say that's a "reunion" by any definition. Maybe not the one you want, but a reunion nonetheless.

They are outselling John Mayer, Prince, Metallica (St. Anger sucks and has been out awhile now), Aerosmith (a shell of the band they were) and who else ... Dave Matthews? Madonna? That's going well?

I hardly call that an accomplishment.

And if it were Dave back in the band, I believe those dates would be sold out, no question.

[Brett]

What do you call it then, a failure? They're ahead of every band on tour now, and that's a failure? Ok dude, whatever you say. The logic in the arguments you guys are putting out there is truly frightening.

You may not like those acts, but they pack arenas. Dave Matthews is pretty fucking big. And unfortunately tools still go see Metallica too and Aeroshit. It is an accomplishment to be ahead by a wide margin of every touring act right now.

For the ten millionth time, where have I ever debated ticket sales would be massive with Dave?

[Dr. Love]

People here will never accept it as a success because it doesn't have Dave. There's always the "but it would be bigger with Dave so it's not a success" element, no matter how many shows they do, no matter how many concerts, no matter how many albums.

Van Hagar's records all went platinum, all went #1, but Van Hagar was a failure because it didn't have DLR.

It's a waste of time trying to convince people otherwise because most of them, no matter how rational they claim to be, refuse to accept anything other than the idea Van Hagar is a complete and utter failure.

In their minds, everyone at the Links loves Van Hagar (or they'd be here) and everyone in the world that likes Van Hagar is registered at the Links, so all the Linkers must be buying all the tickets to inflate the sales and make it look like they might be succeeding (but remember, they really aren't).

Oh yeah, and you must be gay to like Van Hagar, or anything with EVH without DLR.

[POJO_Risin]

You know what...who gives a flying fuck about sales...

If you don't like Hagar...don't go to the fucking show...I'm not...so I don't give a shit whether they sell out the Shamanzo Musical Fag Festival...or fucking Wembley...

success...no success...it's all relative...
