It's been over 20 years since the boys played on one stage, much less one record.
To be honest, I haven't listened to much Eddie since Balance. Seems like most everything had become retread city, except those tracks with Dave on the greatest hits compilation, which were pretty danged good.
But reading comments from people who seem to be 'in the know,' Eddie's playing has degenerated quite a bit in the last 10 or so years. I am sure the booze and the illness have contributed to that. Can he recapture the fire?
Wolfie has been playing bass a year or so. Again, that was a year or so. He is 15. Again, that was 15. I fear he will crap his pants the first time he has to take the stage in front of 15,000 REAL Halenites...but can he hold his own?
From what I've heard of Dave the last handful of years, he's actually held up pretty well vocally. Physically, though, let's be real...he ain't a spring chicken any more. How will he hold up under the expectations/pressue of being onstage with Eddie again?
Alex seems to be Alex. You can say what you want about the jokers mentality or attitude or whatever, but he may be the most underrated drummer in rock history (mainly because he just happened to fall into a band with a guitar player and vocalist who were so good they just overshadowed everything else). Alex will be fine.
What do you expect realistically?
