I like how Mike makes it sound like he had a say so in all this, we this, and we thought that, I told Eddie i didnt want Dave, blah blah, I like Mike and all, but he seems like a big kiss ass to me, i dont know

Yah I love the we stuff also. I'm not buying it. sorry Mike, If the NEW VH can put out a good disc I won't miss him too much. I still would've liked to have seen him on the tour last year, that would have been cool to see the 4 originals on stage. Wolf plays bass to much like guitar for me. There is no bottom end. Maybe he can cover his dad's sloppy playing on a cd !!Comment

LMMFAO....good luck with that one 74/84. Doesn't Edwad have "10 albums in the can" or some shit? It's all nostalgia at this point brother.
The only way this will ever work is if Dave cuntinues to tuck his balls up inside his legs and treat Edtard with the kid gloves like he's been doing the whole time. All of you giving Bass Player so much shit for being Spambo's bitch forgot to mention that Diamond Dave has been Ed & Al's bitch these past 2 years.
Then again what's the point of all this anyway since Ed's been ability has been at a 3 year old with two broken fingers level the last 8 years.Comment

I agree with you to a point, but a good disc will change some people's mind's I think about the NEW version of the band. I like Dave on his own. His last band was great and it didn't cost 150 bucks to see him !! Ed was better at the end of the tour so if he can stay healthy and practice the old song's a little more you never know !! I just saw AC/DC and they blew VH away if you ask me. So they have work to do !!Comment

It still won't be Van HalenComment

Dude did you really just make that arguement after all these years of bitching that it's not the real Van Halen? Atleast I can admit it wasn't the same without all the original guys there no matter how much I may have liked some of the music.
Mick & Keith aren't "The Stones" either. They're a big part of it sure but they're not the whole package. Some guys quit listening after Mick Taylor and I'm sure there are a number of disgruntled fans out there who don't listen to anything after Brian Jones era. Ronnie's earned his stripes and has made his way up the ranks. Plus he played with Jeff Beck and played in The Faces...alot like how Spambo played in Monstrose.....so Ronnie's had some cred and he's just a cool motherfucker but I think the Stones would suck without Charlie Watts. Thankfully they feel the exact same way. That's probably why they are just about the biggest rock band history and VH is an overblown oldies act now....doesn't matter with which singer.Comment

Why is Van Halen a oldies act without Mike and the Stones are still the Stones because they still have Charlie Watts ? The bottom line is if a band is around long enough members come and go. Or die !! Is AC/DC not AC/DC after 29 years without Bon Scott ?? The bottom line is when one of your favorite bands changes members you don't like it !! Hell I don't either but if it's good than i'll listen. Will it be the original ? No, but it's still VH if Ed & Dave are there to me. The stuff Ed did with Sam I never thought of as Van Halen but I still liked some of it. But the voice of Van Halen was Roth and is again. The stuff Hagar did was Hagar with a really good band to me !! Your'e the one that said it's all nastalgia at this point not me !! If it's good and sounds like Van Halen i'll listen. Dave said it's the new VH. I'f Ed want's his kid in the band fine. It just better be good or it might be over for them !!Comment

But you went to the show right ? Would it be the 1980's Van Halen If Mike was there ? The band we all listened to in the 80's is gone forever no doubt about it, but it doesn't mean I won't listen to something new if it's good !! Was Roth going to jump from the drum riser if Mike was there ? Was Ed going to play the original frankinstein or 5150 Kramer or play through a Marshall if Mike was there ? These guy's are getting old, the band from the 1980's wasn't going to just jump on stage like it was the next tour in 1985 wearing fucked up cloth's and long hair !! What were you expecting ? Mike will always be the original bass player in VH but Ed want's his kid in the band so that's it for him I guess !! You will run out and buy something new by them just like everone else here the day it come's out !! I went and seen them when they were here, It looked & sounded like VH to me !! But we but got lucky here, Ed was really good that night. I missed Mike but not that much. I have seen better show's but not to many.Comment
