I used to think that would be great as well...
But the more years that have gone by, I don't think it would be much different at all.... I think it would be the same 5 or 6 riffs he's been playing all these years...
Put it this way, don't you think after 40 years that he could change his solo, even a little bit?
All he has really demonstrated to me is that he was able to re-learn his old CVH stuff and play it fairly well. That's quite different than actually breaking new ground.
However, maybe there just aren't enough people out there who actually want to hear him DO anything new to make that worthwhile.
Personally, hearing him play Eruption live these days isn't enough of a draw for me to go see it, because that is ground that has already been more than adequately covered. I guess many, many others are specifically paying to hear him play his old licks: goes hand in hand with being a nostalgia act.
Plus, left to his own devices and near-total control, Ed comes up with material like that on the Twister soundtrack, Van Halen III or the porn soundtrack he "composed" in 2006 just before the reunion (if one defines "composing" as being Ed smoking meth, guzzling Draino and wanking on his patented EVH 5150 Trans-Trem Sustainer): Ed's best stuff, to my ears, has been that which resulted from being shepherded along by a creative producer and a strong songwriting partner.Last edited by Terry; 12-04-2016, 10:17 PM.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Would it work for Van Halen? I wanna say no but then again a helluva lot of concert goers show up for just about any big name band that rolls through town. I believe for most people it's just a semi expensive nite out to have fun and they're not sitting around arguing about who's singing and every other bit of minutiae like we do. Do I want Dave out of the band? No, at least not if he can get his voice up to par. If not, bring on Ralph and at least it would sound like CVH! Of course, it ain't never gonna happen but it's fun to imagine. Besides, anybody that listens to the old Punks doing LUTS with Mikey and it'll blow your damn Bawllz off.American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.

I'm well aware Bon Scott died and they hired Brian Johnson, who Bon practically recommended after seeing him play with Geordie years before. Judas Priest didn't replace Rob Halford with Ripper Owens because he sucked either. He quit. Journey replaced Steve Perry because of Perry's health issues. All three replacements where chosen because they sounded similar to the previous vocalist.Beware of DogComment

It's going to get to a point fast where people are going to say things like 'Remember the dignity and wisdom GW Bush had while in office'.
Anyhoo sorry for helping to take the thread off topic.Comment
