Melodicrock This Morning

Don't even kid you all would go even if there was no MA. And if you wouldn't then you're stupid cause they probably won't do anything after this tour if it happens.

I hope I'm wrong as well dude. I mean, if you saw the VD3 tour, you should definitely be given free admission. Putting up with both Ed's shitty guitar sound and the glass breaking vocals of Blaze.... errr Gary is worthy of some sort of compensation. But first things fucking last, Ed, Al, Dave, and (insert bass player) have to get their shit together.

I will cry.
I will jump for joy, go broke and finally collapse in a ball of my own snot.

I so hope this rumor is true.

Bottom line when it comes to the SPAMtard and Ed.............It worked out in ROTH's favor and Ours....so I don't care about the SPAM/ED saga.....they can hate on each other as long as ROTH is the Chosen One!!!

Lucky for US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bye-Bye Cabo Calories !

I'm one of those who's NEVER gotten to see the Classic line-up.

We deserve our time!

AMEN sister!

I've never seen them either, unless you count the Cherone debacle. Now THAT was one pathetic concert, the place was about half empty when they hit the stage, and 3/4 empty halfway through.

We got in free, there were teams of people handing out fistfulls of free tickets to any warm body who happened by the venue.

Is it just me or is the response to this week's news a little subdued?

I remember how amped I was in 1996 when first I read that Sammy was out, and then that Dave was working with them again. Then there was 2000/2001. Remember the 'Breaking News" from NAMM with the Dweezil Zappa/MA comments?

Despite this week's news, I feel like keeping the champagne on ice for a little longer. But I should be celebrating big time! I've been waiting over 20 years for this!

Seems to me the brothers have a lot of bridges to mend where their fans are concerned.

[Ellyllions]

If it becomes fact. It will be bigger than anything that's been done in a long time.

I have my concerns though. We'll just have to wait and see.
Hope and pray.

Free admission huh? Yes, I think that's appropriate compensation.

If they don't come here the wife and I have already started talking about the US (IF it happens).

Even though this would seem to be the best chance of a VH reunion in the last 10 years, there's still a reluctance among many of us to actually accept it and celebrate until we see the 4 of them standing on the same stage. And of course, that didn't even turn out to be enough in 1996. Call me "cautiously optimistic" at this point. I'm considering the Hall of Fame better news than the tour right now, because it's probably easier to establish as a verifiable fact.

But as I said yesterday, I'm guessing the nomination is because of the reunion tour story. The Hall of Fame wants to induct a band, not a chaotic soap opera.

[Halen High]

Yes, if they do it right it will be huge. Bigger than the Kiss reunion. There is a lot of interest in bands from the 70s and 80s now. But to have that kind of impact there would have to be a new album, plus 2-3 videos, maybe a new DVD of all CVH videos, and plenty of work with the media etc.

[Halen High]

Ford, "cautiously optimistic" is exactly how I feel. It does seem to be coming together though. As much as anything I want this to happen so that the 'masses' know what Van Halen really was/is. And that's not what we got in 2004. The legacy needs this.

My guess is that the long rumored box set will be released next spring, timed just after the Hall of Fame ceremony and just a few months prior to the tour. The "new" songs from 2000 will be included. Possibly some videos made for Vh1/MTV (as if they ever play videos anymore)

Then, if everyone survives this tour, a full studio album from Van HALEN could always be possible in 2008.

Respectfully disagree...

If they would have done it in '96, it would have been AS BIG as the KISS reunion...

They blew their chance at that type of hype, although if it ends up being true, it will be big enough nonetheless....
