Does a VH fan base remain?

[VanHalener]

Just checked myself...

Yup, still a fan.

i wouldn't be on this board if i wasn't a hardcore fan

[VanHalener]

Checking back in mickeba.

Let me check real quick...

Yep, still a fan. Die Hard! May die without seeing a reunion, but at least I'll die hard.

[ThrillsNSpills]

Well it doesn't make the music any worse does it?

It's some of the best hard rock there is whether they come back or not.

I suppose it's all down to promotion: the more people know about a tour, if/when it happens, the more tickets that they will sell..

[svrwthr]

To answer your question. Think Kiss reunion

6.28.96 Detroit, MI (Tiger Stadium)
*First "official" show of Kiss' Reunion tour.
*Sold-out 45,000 seats in record 45 minutes.

7.25.96 New York, NY (Madison Square Garden)
*Sold-out all four shows in two hours (approx 80,000 tickets).

Wife and I took a couple 10 years younger than us. And they were esctatic and thought it was kick ass. I will be going with that 29 year old when (and if) CVH comes around. He has never heard Dave with Van Halen and very much wants to. He loved all Van Hagar but thought CVH was much better. He is also a big DLR fan. He and Wife do not come to this forum. I could name off over 100 people atleast, just at work alone that will go to CVH. I can also name off every friend I hung with or still hang out with that will go.

YES! there very much is still a fan base even if they are into the new metal as I am too. Van Halen doesn't need 15-25 year olds to have a solid fan base but I bet they will be there. All their dealers will be there and braggin about going to CVH concert and those young pups will follow.

Checking back in....

Still a fan

[chi-town324]

me too!

[Matt White]

Fuck yes there is still a fan base....

Half the fuckers on this site weren't around back in the day to appreciate HOW popular CLASSIC VAN HALEN was............................

[Steve Savicki]

The fanbase quota depends on the amount of people who still have hope...

[evhfan5150]

I still have hope but I have my doubts about wheter they will be able to get together and set dates without getting mad at eachother

[VanHalener]

Checking back in...

Still a fan and waiting for next year. 2008 seems so long away. What the hell am I supposed to do to kill the time between now and the CVH reunion in 2008?
I think I'll go shoot some targets and catch & release some smallmouth bass for now.

I'm pretty sure I'll still be a fan when I'm done, but I'll let you know if there are any changes.

[Nitro Express]

Van Halen will always have long-term fans because of the talent they had in their heyday.

They really don't have a fanbase like KISS or what the Grateful Dead used to have because Van Halen never did anything for their fans beyond making albums and doing shows and leaving the fans out of the loop for so long and even lying to them is not cool and does not buy much loyalty.
