Oh yeah...
Big time...Comment

I think it boils down to the fact that the brothers live in isolation and what little exposure they get from the outside world is within the narcissistic, psycho Hollywood world of Southern California. Their social circles all idolize each other and blow smoke up any available ass on the red carpet.
So anytime they step out of their gated compounds... they are treated like they deserve big star relevancy. That's the way that community operates and they're surrounded by it 24/7/365. If they spent any time outside the Hollywood circle... they'd discover 98% of the world doesn't give a shit who they are nor would even recognize them unless they stumbled across some old hippies or lost 80's losers.
Yeah Wolfgang gets it... he's making a life and name for HIMSELF. On the other hand... sure he loves his dad, but Van Halen is the dusty old, rusty crap of his old man's and uncle. Kids don't respect or take care anything their parents have or value... they didn't have to work for any of that shit. They'll just use it, abuse it then just toss it and walk away bored with it... That's what this entitled generation does.
They have quite capable and excellent industry management who could get an album, LP or anything out or book them gigs anywhere in the world. They just can't get Ed, Al & Dave's lazy asses off the couch... for any price!!
The saddest thing in play is the window to produce anything viable from the 3 original members is closing fast if it hasn't closed already..."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

Open up that rusty screen door, and step into the present, Elvis.
VH would never let Tremonti, or many other bands out there right now, open for them these days. They know they'd get their asses blown off the stage. Why the fuck do you think they are putting fucking Kool And The Gang and that Marley dude out there to open their shows? No chance to get blown off the stage by them!Comment

Kool And The Gang came close...Comment

Read between the lines people.
There probably is not any new music recorded. DLR has disappeared to finish the mystery project( which will be a big letdown).
John 5 is back to talking about the Over the rainbow stuff again.
DLR comments that EVH does not want us to know his vision - Which is that he no longer wants new music.
We will probably get one more tour - and that's it.
Don't hold your breath.Comment

May get a dvd of MSG 2008 and re-issues with bonus track recorded during ADKOT plus a Vegas residency. That would be a productive 2015. We shall see
Would be cool if the John 5 DLR record got out.
As a business Van Halen Inc. is shockingly dysfunctional. The band however still has life in it despite its current appearance.Comment

I have come to the conclusion that if I never see or hear anything out of VH again, it will not bother me.
I would love it if they brought bassplayer back for their final tour, but Ed hates bassplayer so much, I doubt it will happen.
If they tour again, I will go see them once more. If they don't tour again, I got to see them once on this last tour, so I can't complain.
I got to see them 4 times when they were a real band, so I am fine with whatever ends up happening.
If they are stupid enough to get back with Spamulus, then I will gladly wish they go fuck themselves.Comment
