Philosophers, theologians, and cynical, ass-fucked critics will eventually compare "dreams" to "we built this city".We're on a mission from ROTHComment

What makes you think that hon? Dave would definitely be the main draw and the center of attention. The media would most definitely be more drawn to him then the other three fuckbuckets.
I think people would finally remember what VH was/is. However, I don't know if I want to see Dave with those tools again cos they are the one's whove soley tarnished the image and Dave has always shined like a diamond (much like yourself ) throughout the fiasco.

Dave WILL NEVER be a second fiddle in any incarnation of Van Halen...including versions THAT HE'S NOT IN...
He'll always be the top dog...period..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

Agreed! Besides, if Dave were to come back the old fans, new fans, and general public would again be reminded/introduced of what real rock and roll is all about. The term "showmanship" would take on new meaning. Ed would learn how to play guitar again, Alex would f*ckin smile once in a while, and Mikey would keep on being Mikey, but it would seem like he suddenly had style. If this sham of a tour has lasted this long, imagine what the real deal could do.Comment

Agreed Pojo!!!!
You know what's funny? I heard more common folk who know how big of a Halen-Head that I am comment or mention Dave with the Boston Pops than the sham tour. As I've mentioned earlier, when the Van Hagar reuinion rolled through SLC there were OVER 20,000 tickets available and they sold under 9,000. Justice and props to my city for not buying the horseshit of a tour.EAT US AND SMILE!!!!Comment

Ed has done a deed that not even the great Roth can bring this band out of...
Yeah...there would be a buzz...
but remember...to the "general public," it's just another reunion for Van Halen that would probably blow the fuck up in their face...
I'm not saying that's a fact...but how it would be perceived...
and I don't think any of those other Halen egos would pull their heads out of their asses...including Mikey...who may be gone if Sam is shitcanned...
The real deal would be fantastic for the old school...but past that? The blip on the radar disappeared for good about a year ago when Hagar rejoined...
was faint after 2000 when Ed failed to call Roth back...
fuck it...it's done...VH will NEVER make a splash again...it just won't happen...even with Roth...
not because it isn't good...but because it won't be taken seriously...unless it lasts...and even then...I doubt it..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands.

The new tour is a joke...end of story..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

Fuck the general public.
And there would be me ... with a major BUZZ.
Watching to see the look on the sisters faces when the attendence is way up and the crowds are electric ... and no bullshit Hagar era nothing.
I'm for a reunion.Comment

Well...who the fuck knows at this point Al...and I do care about the general public with this for this reason...
1996...when Roth walked out...and the crowd went ballistic...you see...that's what it could have been...and that's gone bro...gone...
Yeah...we'll all know the real deal...but Van Halen was always more than that..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

Now...the name means nearly nothing because of the travesty of Edward and his jackass fucking brother...
what a fucking waste...
just imagine...if you will...what SHOULD have happened 8 years ago...
and this all would be a fucking mute point...
but it's done...it's over..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

I hear you.
Hell, I remember being ballistic that night ... that was a party.
I like to believe it isn't gone though, even if it is.Comment

at this point, I'm not gonna hold my breathe anymore, if a reunion w/ Roth happens or doesn't happen...maybe a one time pay per view concert for ol times sake would be kool, but pojo is right, even if it does happen, it'll take alot of work, and lots of unecessary stress on Dave, to bring Halen back above the water...
the Hagar era has brought the band down to ridicule and parody and I'm not even sure I would want Dave back in that predicament, but i want Dave to do sumthin', anything, jus put out another kick ass cd, hit the road, get better management and promotion...it's not too late for Roth to comeback!!!Last edited by hotdog@ a shake; 10-22-2004, 11:18 PM.Comment
