I will be "damned" to pay over $125 for a ticket to see a 16 year old on bass... two men who may not be able to stand one another ... and the same old set list (plus the "Look at all the people here tonight .. I forgot the words ... ect.) Granted Eddie was not on top of his game for the 2004 tour .. but Mike and Sam were! Two professionals who delivered there part of the show! Period!
Makes me think the if the "Other Half" toured again .. you may get a better "outing" for your money. Plus I am sure they would make new music, or play some great covers that the crowd would love!

not to make this a "other half vs. Van Halen" thread but I went and saw Mike and Sam over the summer, I paid 20 bucks for 2 tickets. Got there early and they had a beach set up, you could play mike's bass and sammy's guitars, they had a tequilla stand set up, it was like a big party. Honestly it was fun as hell, hot chicks bikini's, it don't geet much better.
So Hagar has a solo career? Read what Lodewijk posted:
And as far as Hagar goes......yeah, it's great that his tickets were around 10 bucks last year, but even at that, the two shows I was at were half full at best.....what does that tell you ?
Hey, check out Jimmy the mod's sig!:D:
My buddy Rikk on EVH - God, Eddie is such a fucking prick. And he's fooling himself if he really thinks he's the best guitar player in history.
COOL! I'm famous.
Menlow basically echoes a lot of sentiments here:
More importantly though, with Mike out and Wolfie in, it just takes so much wind out of those sails. Had it been a true reunion, I would already be mapping out which shows I'd travel to, which ones I'd do premium packages for,budgeting a ton of money to spend, and happily counting down the days till it happened. I would be so excited that it almost wouldn't even matter how good the show was. Instead......
Brett himself:
Only Eddie could fuck up a slam-dunk reunion by somehow throwing his 16-year old kid into the mix. Nonsense.
IcySky hit it right on the head:
The more days that pass without an official announcement the less excited I become. I have a feeling that Dave is going to tell the brothers to shove this "reunion" up their collective asses and tell them good luck since Ed thinks anyone can sing for the band.
My buddy Greenpaw hit it right on the head:
I'm still hoping Dave does this. A perfect revenge for 1996, string them along and then at the last minute pull the plug.
Vanzefflin has this to say:
Makes ya wonder who Ed will go after next? After you've fucked up your own kid, what's left?
I'll leave it with Wingnut...great quote:
Maybe I'm hating, I'll admit it. My VH glow has been powered by the monentum of the CVH era, but it has faded almost into nothingness. When I listen to CVH, it rocks but it always is bitter-sweet when I think about what could have been after 1985 but was destroyed by children.

Changing the front man doesn't matter to them, but changing the bassist does? Hypocritical if you ask me.
