I called for this 3 years ago on The Wall here while the main site was down......

and got laughed at because all of the know-it-alls said they'd be together and touring loooong before it came to needing a PPV


LMMFAO

Shit,has it been that long Lounge?

In all seriousness, it would suck to see some sort of phoned-in mediocrity.

I'd still ante up to see it though!!

That's my biggest fear of all the reunion scenarios: That Dave's desire to do it overwhelms his sense of quality control. That he wants it so bad that he can't see that it was mediocre (if, in fact, it was just an average result).

Because I don't share the opinion of some that by default Dave and Van Halen reuniting NOW is gonna necessarily produce incredible results. I no longer have the enthusiasm for the prospects that I did in 1996. Ed just seems broken, and the Van Halens would be doing it more for the cash grab than anything else.

I'd ante up to see it, too, though.

But to see CVH reunite and be anything less than spectacular...fuck that shit. Dave solo live doing CVH tunes is one thing. If those four guys open the ball on putting original band back together, they better go ALL the fuckin' way with it. If Ed wants a half-assed reunion, best to give Hagar another call.

Radio hosts love whoever they are talking to at the time. When talking to Mike ANthony, that's the same as talking to Sammy, so of course he's gonna lay some praise on Sammy. But the truth comes out in the radio station play lists. CVH outnumbers Van Hagar 10 -1 in air time. In fact, I'm hearing less & less Van Hagar lately and starting to even hear some of the CVH gems that never got heavy radio play (Little Dreamer the other day).

At the end of the day,

Is watching an inferior product, even with Dave involved, any different than all the pussies that went to see Van Halen with Hagar involved?

It WON'T be any where near as good as what we watched 20 years ago, so why waste time and money?

Trust me, it won't happen.

Classic VH would have to go back to daves Basement for many hours, then over to 5150 for equal time, then they could play surprise gigs at small clubs(Like the stones did in 1980, Toads place in New haven Ct), then next summmer, 4 stadium shows. La, Giants stadium, Chicago,Dallas. Nothing but the hits, michael cole would produce, 125 million guarantee, what do you think??

I think that we should get Oprah on the case. It can be a running segment on her show, and the KEY ingredient is that Dr. Phil is going to be on board to bridge all the gaps and keep Ed, Al Mike & Dave straight and honest with themselves.

Then they can make it into a reality show - Eddie, Al, Mike & Dave in the swiss castle, locked in with Dr. Phil until they all get their heads out of their asses, or Dr. Phil looks like the kid in the "Hot for Teacher" vid. Whichever, both would be equally gratifying to watch.

If he succeeds, then they plan to play just THREE reunion concerts. NY, LA, and Kansas City. Just enough to get adequate video to create the PPV event. Tickets will be sold by lottery, and there will be riots in the streets with people trying to get them. If you draw blood, you get half off on the PPV price for the big concert event.

THEN - here's the GREATEST IDEA ever!!!! The PPV event will only be aired in stadiums across the U.S. Fifty bucks a pop - and at ONE staduim, the real live reuinted Van Halen will show up to lip synch with the video, then have a big ass brawl, in which Sammy Hagar is dismembered as a sacrifice for something or nother, we'll think of that later. Then it's a fight to the death between Eddie and Dave - a la gladiator. Blood, death and rock and roll!!!!

Oh and we'll make sure and kill Dr. Phil & Oprah too.

Mike:

"I don't like to talk smack..."

And then rambles on at every opportunity to slam Dave.

Idiot.
