Van Halen, I remember them well. Seriously, great music. Unfortunately, they now look like this:

You've got me captured, I'm under your spell
I guess I'll never learn
I have your picture, yes, I know it well
Another page is turned
Are you for real
It's so hard to tell
From just a magazine
Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells
Look what that does to me
I'll wait 'til your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are
I wrote a letter and told her these words
That meant a lot to me
I never sent it, she wouldn't have heard
Her eyes don't follow me
And while she watches I can never be free
Such good photography
I'll wait 'til your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are
You can't imagine what your image means
The pages come alive
Your magic greets everyone who reads
Heartbreak in overdrive
Are you for real
It's so hard to tell
From just a magazine
Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells
Look what that does to me
I'll wait 'til your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are
I'll wait 'til your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are

First.. I will believe when it actually happens.
Second... If it happens it will be either VERY limited tour or the tour will not finish as DLR will drive the other guys crazt to the point of canceling the tour.

We got pretty much duped when a "new" van Halen cd was coming out only to find out it was pretty much a remastered demo tape.

I know the Van Halen cd with the Extreme singer did not work out but frankly VH should had tried other singers or the very least the band could have put out an instrumental cd out.

One would think that all of the years without a VH cd would have meant tons of great riffs and song (music wise) available but again they went with a remaster of old stuff and I would not be shocked that even if they did come out with new stuff that the band would do their parts in one stiludio and DLR would do his separate in another.

I don't think they can work together too closely for long. I have heard that Eddie, a little of Alex as well, is very paranoid about stuff and of course DLR can great on anyone's nerves after a bit.


So true. All of it.

DLR - whackjob. At this point... being this selfish, cheating the fans. I’m not a fan of that!
Bassist - EVH son. Will they make him it out? How does MA feel about coming back?

Heard somewhere that Wolfgang (think that is the sons name) might be working with his own band but I have no true if there is any validity to it.
I would imagine he would want to be on his own with people his own age .

Wolf is a better bass player than Michael Anthony and Anthony never did anything when he was in the original lineup except make Jack Daniels more popular. So, I really don't care if he ever plays with the band again.

If that is all you think of Anthony it tells me how little you know of Van Halen.

His vocal abilities and contributions to the band alone are huge. Big reason that the band with DLR post Anthony sound so bad vocally.

He sang harmonies and background vocals. It made up for DLRs lack of talent.

:muttley: Yeah, we definitely disagree. I will match my knowledge of VH with anyone on this board. Your arrogance will get you embarrassed if you wish to challenge me but please be my guest. :thumbup:

I am up for the challenge, what do I win?
While he wasn't a stellar musician his background vocals did contribute to their early sound.
