Ed has been held to a certain higher standard all his life and even whn he tried to go outside the formula-VHIII, he wasn't given much leeway..it has to get old and uninspiring to be EXPECTED to only play a certain way..musicians have to grow.
Now, imagine YOUR son comes in and starts gettin off on it and Ed gets to see it's effect through someone elses eyes..someone he loves more than anything..how could he not feel it and reevaluate?

This is EXACTLY why im very psyched for this..Ed is INSPIRED..and ED is at his best when that is the case..and maybe wolf can keep his ego in check a bit..if Ed starts to get sick of DLR, Wolf can remind him this is what it's all about..his music, Daves energy and attitude..the perfect formula for those who remember...

Agreed. Good post.

and everyone knows .be careful what you say around ed ,even more now for dave ...... ITS 3 VAN HALENS VS DIAMOND DAVE ....

Now, one thing that I think is interesting is what is mentioned in this quote.

It may be the 3 VH's vs. only 1 Diamond Dave, but keep in mind, and it's just my opinion:

No frontman beyond Dave will make the VH Trio sound like magic, have the impact or be more exciting than Dave. They NEED him.

I'm curious to know what the VH Trio will create and record once Dave has completed this Summer Project?

We've never heard Eddie talk like this about the classic tunes or Dave.

The tone is certainly very different and even different when Eddie was all high on Sambo in '86 and Ga y in '98.

And I agree, it has to do with the 'youthful enthusiasim" coming from Wolfie.

The do need him, but they will try to control him.

That's good VV, 'cause you said some outlandish shit over at the Links in '99 that I still haven't gotten over....

Geat find Elvis ... I believe Edwward because he's been at his "normalest" these past few years ...

[Nickdfresh]

I believe that Ed is a desperate drunk that has expended every possibility, no matter how absurd or career-ending, before finally "caving" to get Roth back.

It's far too little (sans Anthony), and far, far too late (by about ten years).

hmmm...i'm not buying into the wolfie inspiration. i suscribe more to the idea that wolfie can be controlled; will play for cheap; is a freak show (in terms of fan curiosity) in his on right; is a way for ed and son to hang out; and the ultimate public "fuck you" to MA. if anyone here thinks that ed said, "shit...the best bass player in the entire world is living in my own house! why look anymore?" is either high on meth or has been sniffin' too much dog ass.

I don't recall Ed saying he was "thrilled to be back to playing with Sammy" in 2004.

He DID say something about it being great having Sammy and Mike "back in [his] life," though. It was in that first GW interview he did for the tour.

I'm not sure EVH is a liar. I think he just doesn't know what the hell he wants and is too oblivious to what's going on around him to realise that the stupid crap he comes out with actually hurts other people and, in some cases, their reputations, when it's HIS reputation that should suffer... and it looks like it finally is.

Then again, he is probably a liar as well.
