No Michael Anthony on bass? Eddie seems to have quite an ego now!

Reunion tour but no Michael?

*sigh*

With some bands the members have changed enough you could go without one and call it a reunion tour and I would accept it as such easily. For example, with Judas Priest, the last tour was their Reunion tour although they didn't have the original drummer. Rob was back and that was enough but they have changed drummers like Spinal Tap. So many smears, eh?

But with VH, they were for sooooooooooooooooo long the Van Halen brothers, Michael, and David. Seems kinda odd not to have Michael with them. Nothing against Wolfgang, just doesn't seem reunited.

Ah well, that's just me, eh?

Wolfgang hardly seems to be a replacement for Michael- my two copper coins.

I bet Mike is just as tired of the Ed as we are.

I saw them a few years ago and Ed was a slobbering drunk with no give a damn about how pathetic he has become.

It was sad.

I have always liked all versions of VH. (Not the Cherone album, brrrrrrrrr that was fugged up like a soup sammich.)

I'm wondering if they will all have their own bus and jet???

I guess it is a wait and see thing. Hopefully they will do a good job and the ticket holders will ged a good show.

Yeah, that would be good to see. I just wish it was Mike not Wolfgang. The origional band would be what I want to see.

I do like the Sammy Hagar on vocals VH better. But DLR VH is damn good party music.

I prefer Dave for VH rather than Sammy. Just me. I don't really care much for VH though. They have always had such huge egos and the one time I saw them they were so wasted I really just say no.

You saying that no 15 yo has ever drunk Jack? *wink*

I should hope he isn't doing that! Talk about not learning from your parents' mistakes! That would be the worst way for him to start his professional life.

Well, he is a Van Halen. *wink*
