GMC Forum _ Bands and Guitarists _ Van Halen Reunion

Hey everybody!
Just wondering what everyone thinks about Van Halen going on tour with David Lee Roth back in front?
Personally I love that Diamond Dave is back. Wasn't the same without him imo. Not sure about Wolfgang on bass though. A 16 year old in Van Halen...just seems wrong for some reason. But hey all the more power to him....16 and living the rock star dream.

definately never the same without Roth, also, im not deep into Van Halen, but is Wolfgang Eddie's son or something similar? Is he good on bass?

Yeah he's Eddies's son. I'm not sure how good he is, I personally haven't heard him but he must be OK if they are going to let him tour. You'd think anyways....

EVH was a guitar pioneer, the band was aweful without Roth (no offence to anyone) but i dont kno how well its gonna work, they can potentially be great if they not arguing

I agree completely....if ego's can stay in check they should be great. I'm hoping to see the show in Calgary in December.

They are NOT coming to Bosnia,I'm 100% sure 
Posted by: rokchik Aug 16 2007, 10:13 AM
Muris...they probably have to see if they are going to get along first before they start heading overseas.
They may not even make it to December.

I live in California and there is like six venues here so I'm sure to hit one of them!

Word. I may go see them in charlotte or greensboro. I think they had some good stuff with Sammy, but the best was definitely roth. Wolfie I'm not sure about, I'm pretty sure he's great on a guitar, so he may be a decent bassist. We can hope.

I never seen them with Roth, so I've got to go. Also, I think Sammy was excellent for the band. I've seen them with Sammy many times, and it rocked, all except the druken 2004 reunion with Sammy. Eddie was horrible then, so hopefully he'll be back in top form.
:crossfingers: Detroit will be rocking October 22nd!!

He just got out of rehab a short time ago so lets hope that helped.

I still think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo0UXB_eqNE is awesome, but I don't like the end when he throws down the guitar and picks up a beer.
Posted by: muris Aug 16 2007, 10:57 AM
Yeah,poor guitar

Posted by: RodneyU Aug 16 2007, 12:50 PM
Not as good as 5150, but better than nuttin'
Posted by: JVM Aug 16 2007, 12:56 PM
Oh come on, 1984 was so much better than 5150! 5150 was good though.

Oh yes, the 1984 record is far better than 5150. But the 5150 amp is better than... better than.. than the 1984 amp
Posted by: JVM Aug 16 2007, 03:38 PM
And what was the 1984 amp? The marshall right?

I wasn't saying 5150 album over 1984 album, just the number in general.

I'm always suspicious about bands reunion. 
But I'm also curious about Eddie's son!

If i can score some tickets I will be at the show in KC. Anyone here from there and just how do ticket sales for this event on 10-26 work. Is it all ticketmaster or do they sell some at the BO?
Posted by: SDMF75 Aug 17 2007, 11:19 AM
I'm contemplating picking up tickets for the Greensboro show. Ticket prices stink!! The low is $55 and the high $125 for that show. I may do it just to so I get the chance to see Diamond Dave. He was in rare form at the press conference and it was fun to watch.
