I'm a bit surprised by that talk as well. While I have no interest in seeing Hagar, I most certainly would still bring my 9 year old girl to whatever VH circus blows through town next time, if there is a next time in these parts. If Dave weren't involved at all, that's another story. If for whatever reason, all of these aging rockers hug it out and decide to put on a dual genre show, I'd still check it out. It's something to do. Fuck it.
I still think a hatchet burying with Mike would help the likelihood of ever seeing classic shows and unreleased tunes get an official release.
Stop giving these bastards my money? Chances are slim to none and slim just left town.Comment

I was thinkin just the opposite... consider a venue with a huge contingent of CVH fans sporting Roth Army shirts having the time of their life while the Toastmaster General™ works the stage. They switch over to Hagar and the audience goes Pants Off™ and moons the stage!! Then heads to the beer windows...Originally posted by fourthcoming

I don't see why that is such an outlandish statement to make Zah....
I won't speak for anyone else, but I can tell you that the very SECOND that I see Bette's fat ass and start hearing the first notes of "When It's Love" or any other Van Velveeta sappy ballad, it's going to immediately get me in a fucking bad mood, regardless of how good their set with Dave (and possibly Mike) would be....
Now I'll say this - If I were drunk, it would be a better time, no doubt.... Me and Poj were fucking hammered at the Dave/Bette '02 tour, so there's that.....Eat Us And Smile - The Originals

VA your sentiment is shared by many... especially the nausea that immediately sets in when Spammy opens his trap. Buzz kill is imminent...
I just don't figure quitting the game when the circus considers adding another freak-show act is warranted yet. VH has been nothing but amazing surprises of the good kind for the last year. Who knows where this could go...
I noticed the VH official site VHBlast is carrying this story in their news feed... Not that it means much but the camp is aware of what's floating around out there in the press and fan sites..."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

My point was more toward the angle that even after all of these years of visceral fan-abuse, people still hang on to this band. And I really don't see this potential slap in the face to be reason to abandon ship. Come on, think about it: If any of us had more than half an ounce of common sense, we would have hit the road years ago.Originally posted by fourthcoming

Pleasing fans isn't a common motivation for VH, and nor is any great love for their singers, so that leaves economics as motive.
Economically it makes no sense to have em both for a one off Aussie tour. If its money motivation to do a US tour well then that will likely mean admitting their done and ring the register. If that's the case why not stay at home and just empty their vaults for DVD and unrealesed tracks with little work.
Just do not see this happening unless they are ditching Dave outright and considering the fairly positive response to ADKOT after getting reamed for 15 years with bad response I'd be surprised.Comment

There is no indication from the actual band they are considering this.Comment

Folks are always saying that tours are cash grabs. No. Tours are insanely expensive to produce. The vaults of stuff Ed has locked up is where the cash cow is. Costs nothing to press a CD. For decades, Ed could have drained the vaults for serious mula. He hasn't. Who really knows what anyone's motives are?Comment

Giving the history of accuracy of Aussie reporting on VH it probably is a good bet to be nothing more than speculation or his source in Andrew who was also at NAMM and has a direct line to Hagars crotch. The Anthony quote is pretty standard industry speak for don't have jack yet. Until indications that Wolf is taking a full time gig or Dave has left there just is NO indication it is being considered. They have done a lot to rip em for but ripping em for this is wrong. Rip the reporter.Comment
