Why do so many fans want Michael Anthony in the lineup?

You were fucking 9 YEARS OLD my first time. Did you fall in with the 1984 beginning of the end crowd, or the EEAS tour?
Like I need you to tell me what kind of fan I have been.

SHUT UP, Arnold!!

Do you support David Lee Roth as frontman for Van Halen?

Yes (Roth Purist). I support Dave, Ed, Al and Wolfgang for the 2007 tour, and will buy a ticket 82.35%

No (Hagar Fan) I don't support this version of Van Halen. 0 0%

Undecided (Middle of the road fan). I won't support this reunion with David Lee Roth because Michael Anthony is not in the band. (Aka I support MA more than Dave.) 17.65%

Don't put words in my mouth.

Edward Van Halen is simply too bullheaded.

You hit the nail on the head. He doesn't care what his fans want. He is just in a drunken, childish state of mind and he is playing games like a little girl. He is basically saying, "Since I couldn't control Mikey and keep him under my thumb, I don't wanna play with him anymore. He is no longer in my club, and he can't come into the treehouse anymore." I've seen my 8-year-old act this way, but I don't expect this kind of behavior out of a grown man.

It's like finally getting to drive your Dad's super hot sports car, but all you can do with it is pull it into the garage.

Listen to my man Roofus; he knows what he's talking about.

I don't know if I'd want Dave piloting the bus with my kids on a road trip...

I guess I'll wait and see before judging. After the Bluegrass stint... not sure where Dave's live performance standard lie...

Do you trust this guy to do anything sane?

This was supposedly the same show where he told the crowd, "Thanks for paying my rent!" Wow, this guy really cares about his fans, doesn't he?

Oh come on, you know that whatever Dave has done, he was committed to giving his all 110%.

Even when there was stuff his fans didn't care for, at least he did what he believed in and felt was right at the time (that includes the radio gig).

I don't question Dave giving 110% or even 200% to his fans. It's Eddie that doesn't give a flying fuck what his fans want.

[VHrocks]

Also, let me use another analogy. Wolfgang was born in 1991. Van Halen was born in 1974. How many of you would prefer a 1974 Corvette Stingray with a 1991 GM 350 aftermarket engine over a 1974 Corvette Stingray with the original stock 1974 350 engine? For some people who are not classic car buffs, they may not care. But for the Corvette aficionados out there, it makes all the difference in the world. Likewise, some people could care less who plays bass for Van Halen, or for that matter, who even sings for Van Halen. But for many of us Classic Van Halen aficionados out there, it makes all the difference in the world.

For the record...

I called BULLSHIT on his radio gig from day one, and said it was a huge mistake although everyone in here called me a fool.

It's also a mistake for Dave to trust spED and his spawn on this "reunion" tour.

That is all.

See, it's stupid and inane comments like this that make your stance moot.

WTF are you Maxi to speak for everyone?

NOBODY is going to give a shit if it's not the original CVH lineup?

SFTU with stupid ststements like this already.

Most, a majority, etc is fine if that's what you think.

But don't speak for all of us, Mkay?

Oh my, aren't we the sensitive one?

For the record, I WASN'T "speaking for all of us" Mkay?

I'm just sayin' some of you'll find a reason to cry and whine about anything regarding this tour.

Seriously, don't go to the show, like I give a fuck?

When you're finished being a hypocrite, i.e.

"NOBODY is going to give a shit if it's not the original CVH lineup?" - Kippy

please let me know and don't speak for me either.

Now, go back to acting like Icon's parrot with the "That is all" Mkay?

Twerp. :p

Fark off.


I understand YOUR needing any excuse to get out of the house, but don't blame those of us with a shred of self worth who won't waste time seeing another version of VH.

After 25 years, anything short of a full reunion is pointless.,

Same to you Kippy and kindly go fuck yourself while you're at it.
