Would You Support VH Fronted by Brian Geller or Ralph Saenz?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

No. But if they hired a Filipino guy who sang in a VH tribute band I'd consider it.



kidding...

Hey, I know that guy, good dude.....

[POJO_Risin]

Isn't that how the Howdy Doody brothers described Hagette?...and Brown Leisure Suit?

[WARF]

I'd take Ralph Saenz if Dave left and it came down to him or bringing back Hagar. I saw Steel Panther a couple months ago and he can still nail those whistle screams Dave lost 20 years ago. I'm not saying he should replace Dave, but if it had to happen I would take Ralph Saenz over any other possible candidate. Plus, we started this web site running the atomic punks and supporting that band.

[DLR Bridge]

I'd take no replacement whatsoever. I'm more interested in what future recordings would sound like more so than future live shows. If Dave ain't singin', Ed and Al can find someone else and finally change the band name like they should have 28 years ago.

[Zing!]

I have Fuck all Interest in van halen without DLR .
Dave is van halen

I was about to reply to this ridiculous thread, but then I saw someone already beat me to it. ^^What he said^^

If Dave flat out bagged it and Ed hooked up with, say, Chris Cornell, I'd want to hear. So long as they call the project aaaanything but Van Halen. And I wouldn't want that guy to dare attempt any Dave tunes.

The same here.

Well, at least Chris Cornell, like most of us of this generation who from the Pacific Northwest, grew up as a Van Halen fan, so he would probably do a good job on the songs if he did sing them. And I remember posting all over the boards that existed at the time (FORD Country, Slawterhouse, the VDIII board at Warner Brothers, etc) that Cornell would have been a much better fit for the band than Gary Cherone.

But it still wouldn't have been Van Halen. And given the short life of Audioslave, I doubt Chris would ever put himself in a situation again, where's he's playing with 3/4 of somebody else's band.

Well said, FORD. Now go clear out your message box so I can send you the one I typed earlier!

[DLR Bridge]

I agree Ford. I'm thinking in terms of Ed doing a stand alone project with a singer/co-songwriter rather then fill the unfillable shoes again.

Done.

The sheep over at Links used to go on and on about this mythological album that Eddie was allegedly planning with the likes of Phil Collins, Patty Smythe, Eric Clapton, and God only knows who else. I'm not sure if there was ever any sort of reality to any of it, but some of those collaborations might be interesting, provided Eddie was working with a strong songwriter. Because (as VDIII proved beyond all reasonable doubt) writing is NOT among Eddie's strengths, on his own.

I don't know if he had any hand in the writing on that "Starfleet" thing he did with Brian May, but that turned out pretty good. Cornell is a good writer so I would have expected positive results from that collaboration, if it would have happened. Now, how you tour on something like that, might be a whole other matter.

[twonabomber]

That EVH project was mentioned in one of the pre-5150 interviews but I don't remember if it was in Musician or Rolling Stone.

[kwame k]

I'm thinking Musician because I subscribed to that mag and remember reading that there was talk about doing an Allstar album with those guys and Pete Townsend, too! Al said no that he wanted to just be in a band with a new singer!

Warner Bros might of brought it up?

Or Eddie himself, can't remember which!
