It's not like they are making a new cd....this will be the same music Dave has been singing for years and the only difference is Ed on guitar which to me doesn't mean much. Can he play as good as STEVE VAI..........no WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Then it's cool that Wolfgang will be on tour getting experience and will end up being a great talent someday...but it's not going to be a fun tour because Ed and Dave have not settled there differences and are only signing a contract for money ...nothing else!

Get ready for expensive Arena tickets and sing classic songs like Jamies Cryin, Ain't talking bout love, Jump , Panama......Are we going to hear anything like Take your WHISKEY HOME, ...no way............it's going to be awkward to see this band together magically reappear on stage after all of the years of non sense.

Love you Dave, i'm happy you have your dream of getting Ed back on stage with you...good luck to the future.....if you can survive the tantrums of Ed. It would be so COOL TO HEAR ME WISE MAGIC LIVE

Me Wise Magic sounds like a leftover Van Gaygar tune with Dave on Vox. I hate the way Ed tries to make super-poppy choruses now. He needs to get back to mean, dark, brooding riffs and attack his solos instead of wank.

Also........

Ed has more natural feel for playing than Vai does. Vai is a very technical player and plays straight and metronome-y. Ed is technical (maybe not as technical though) and just rolls with the natural feel of the song. Apples and oranges.

Listen to the EEAS or Skyscraper show boots. It's kind of tough to listen to Vai because he plays so straight.

I am in agreement...EEAS DLR BAND REUNION is an awesome idea.....those fuckers could play....Vai is scary...not only could he mimic Ed, he surpassed him in everyway.......VH is Dave, Ed, Alex and MA, unfortunately we may never get to see that again...

Personally? An un-announced gig on a flat bed trailer truck would be perfect. Rolling down Hollywood blvd @ 8 in the morning...full-on burning effigys of Nicole Ritchie!

Let's face it....

A small percentage of posters wouldn't make it to a CLASSIC VAN HALEN reunion...even with all 4 members.....

75% of CLASSIC VAN HALEN...which INCLUDES DAVE......

If that isn't exciting......hey...more power to ya:p

EEAS band was far better than VH. It's too bad they couldn't have kept that together. 2 records was NOT enough!!

This reunion isn't as exciting as what happened in, say, 1996...because ten-odd years ago pretty much nobody thought they'd ever be getting back together again.

Nowadays, it's kinda like "Hey, about fucking TIME!"

After Van Halen 3 flopped and Van Hagar 2004 didn't generate much heat, the Van Halens finally woke up and realized what many of us had known for years, that getting Dave back was inevitable because it just made good sense. The band were clearly at their best with him out front, and nothing else was ever really going to work.

The excitement level isn't as high as if all four were back and cooking up some killer new material for us, either, but I'm pretty stoked about it. Am defintiely more excited about this than if Dave was just gonna hit the road solo-style again for another setlist chock-full of CVH. If he's gonna do that, he might as well do it with the Van Halens.

It's kinda bittersweet, but better late than fucking never.

[Matt White]

I'm not very optimistic aboot any "new material".......

Very few CLASSIC bands get back together...this late in the game...and produce anything that stands with their best work...

All I need to see is a couple of KICKASS shows and I'll be good to go....

DAVE can go back to doing his thing...touring every summer and throwing a blow-out bash...

And the sisters can go back to hording their pennies & dimes...........
