Classic Van Halen Is Not "Dead"

[Terry]

CVH's MUSIC isn't dead...

But the chances of CVH revving up the engine and doing something great are...well, not so hot.

At this point, CVH can distinguish itself in one of two ways

1. Reunite, write and record a KILLER new album, rehearse and put on a show that is so stunning that any claims of a quickie reunion solely for a cash grab are just moot...

OR

2. NOT go the route that every other band does, which is get back together, put out a couple of half-assed tunes on a greatest hits album and hit the road to scoop up as much money as possible in a shameless milking of a memory that would have been better off left in the past.


Now, taking into account the state Edward appears to be in, I'm not so hopeful that they can pull off Option #1. And at this point, I'd rather have them go with Option#2 and soften the blow by opening up the classic audio and video vaults then undertake a half-assed reunion.

While Fergie was interviewing Dave, the Stage Manager had Que Cards that he would hold up and certain times for Fergie to ask about....one of the Que Cards simply said "REUNION"....at that point, you hear Fergie ask Dave about it.

Things that make you go Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

If they got back together just for a tour I'd be happy...

Even though CVH isn't together the music never dies, at longs people still love the music, there is still an high demand for the albums, which gets lots of air play on the radio and CVH is right on top of the list of "best rock bands of all time".

The chances of an reunion is all but dead, how many years have we been talking about it and hearing rumors from different souses? All Dave is stating; how much he wants a CVH reunion, which he has for years, but Eddie hates his guts and I don't see that ever changing. There are just too much bad blood!, I'm not going to get excited until I see it.

It's hard not to be pessimistic, but I try...
