You’re absolutely right. Van Halen will make a lot more $$$$$MONEY$$$$$ when they have a reunion with the four original members of the band.

At that point they will charge upwards of $250+ mark my works after the last tour I can see it being that way.

I am amazed that none of you get it. Not one comment about it! one word>……..

M O N E Y!!!!

My thinking is, everyone wanted dave back, ok , they held off, did some records without him.. many records, , then finally brought him back and did a world Tour that sold out like nuts! BUT,.. they left michael anthony out.,,.,?????

some fans were all pissy and bummed out. Granted, the wolf is a Van Halen, but he is not Michael Anthony, nor can he sing bkg vox like Michael, nor will he ever be able to, because he has his own tone and style. I respect that and applaud his musiciansship.

M O N E Y!!!!!!
After Wolf gets really established with the band, he will probably ditch VH and go do his own thing and make his own music, THEN guess who will be invited back into the band. YOU GUESSED IT, THE REUNION TOUR WILL HAVE ALL OF THE ORGINAL MEMBERS..

M O N E Y!!!! boys.. M O N E Y!!! keeps all of the fans guessing, but the truth is, you all scratch your heads and wonder why, but it all quite calculated. They know, when they do the Reunion tour, they will make another fortune. If anyone here, thinks, that money is not the motivation, then your lost!

MONEY!!!! MONEY BOYS… Its all about MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOONNNEY!

The next all new Van Halen album (no greatest hits package with a new song or two) will be release when hell freezes over or when Eddie and Alex are Bankrupt which ever comes first.

The reason I say this is because they just did a tour where they charged enormous prices for tickets that were half the price four years earlier, they should be set for life.

At this rate Axl will release Chinese Democracy before Eddie gets off his ass

Problem is and probably always will be Ed’s and Alex’s ego and that was pretty evident with the McCain campaign’s playing ‘Right Here, Right Now’, with VH’s lawyers burning up the phone lines demanding they cease and desist playing the tune while the song has been available commercially for years and years, and if I was in charge of the campaign I would have told their lawyers to shove it, nothing they can say or do will prevent me the freedom to play the song where ever I can or please.

While the tour was a success, ticket prices bothered a lot of fans I know, and some had a huge problem ponying up the $75 for decent seats and Michael Anthony would probably have made a difference in ticket prices especially in the southeast and especially here in Jacksonville, FL, and it took awhile for the tickets to sell, but this is Lynnyrd Skynnyrd land and .38 Special land and that’s to be expected.

Also wonder if and when VH will release a new album, there was huge buzz that they’d spent a lot of time in the recording studio with Wolfie but nothing yet. Might wonder if the Brothers VH are just trying to live in the past with the tour.
