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

[Brett]

Yep I was right.

[Big Troubles]

LOL that was entertaining. do it again guys?

so is there just one sold out show then?

[Brett]

HHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yes.

[Big Troubles]

is it common knowledge at this point exactly how the tix sales are doing for anywhere else?

[Big Troubles]

and yes, no doubt hey will do wonderfuly on this tour for all kinds of reasons other than the one that matters; it will be good rock n roll with Dave. But Im questioning the pace they sell at. Slow sales tell ya something.

Not to my knowledge no.

The only real evidence of anything was the fact that Ticketmaster has no more available seats for the August 7th Vegas show.

The addition of second shows in some of the various large cities suggest good ticket sales, and some media outlets are reporting shows are doing well. Then there's the Pollstar Top 50 list. But again, no concrete numbers. I doubt any of that will ever be made public until after the tour.

as for the poll. boy there are some artists really killing the billboard. it isnt exactly the 70's and 80's ya know. none of them are rolling it in with new releases. lol

[Big Troubles]

Pollstar looks to be pretty funny this week. :D
I just keep thinking that tix sales are slow because people are starting to realise "hey, this isn't anything special. Why would we go?" Because let's face it. A Reunion is with an original line up. First mistake was calling this a reunion. Maybe that was a managment idea. I dont know.
Like for example, When (not if) Dave does rejoin the VH bros. what will they call that then? Reunion #2??? Fuckin' stupid.

Just Prince and Velvet Revolver I think. Possibly the Pixies. I have a few of their cd's. Not too fuckin bad at all. I heard about their reunion, but no mention of new tunes.

You say it would be much bigger with Dave, and while I tend to agree, Dave doesn't exactly pack them in by himself, I don't think it would be the blockbuster everyone thinks. Frankly, I don't think anybody apart from diehard VH fans even care about the band anymore. And you'd be surprised how many people don't even know who David Lee Roth is. Anyone catch Howard Stern this morning, he read a few emails where listeners were asking, "Who is David Lee Roth?" Pretty bad. So the general public really could give two shits, about Dave, Sam, or Van Halen anymore.

[Big Troubles]

awe man, that's kinda sad. But then again look at the media uproar everythime a VH tune is played on the radio. Look back to the 96 MTV awards. That was a nice site that still gives me goosebumps. I think a Roth reunion would definatley blow away the world. Sam with Van Halen is just not big of a deal.

It would sellout venues.

It's the years of controversy to some

It's the chance to relive the past to others

I think to most, the music is bigger than VH are. To see it performed live by one of the most legendary lineups would be quite a draw.

[Big Troubles]

I agree. I think they would sell out arenas, just so people can see them all on stage one more time. Fuck the music. I own all the music. I want to see them rock and fucking roll one more time. The way they used to.
