**Brownsound2000** · 03.02.01, 08:29 PM

Well yet more news and gossip to report!
What else is new? Just more editors with too much time on the hands writing more and more these days...

**BREW CREW** · 03.02.01, 08:32 PM

So, What the hell is the speculation? You kind of left us in the dark man!

There's a link.

Very interesting, but I'm not sure about those "insiders" - but it is very believeable.

Take it as you will...

Looks like total filler. no meat in there at all, just vauge fluff. (the cdnow report)

Still, its a report on the net, we can all read it and appraise it, so I'll leave it in main for now

I could have written something more solid just from hanging here for a year...

Roth will get impatient with Van Halen (as in Eddie Van Halen), and will put in motion aspects of his solo career -- be it studio sessions or tour plans, often holding them as a hammer over the heads of his former/current/former/current bandmates.

Now I'm as big a Roth fan as anybody, but come on. What's Dave gonna say to Eddie, "hey man, get your shit together or I'm going to go make an album that's sure to struggle to sell 50 000 copies and then do another club tour". I don't think the threat of Dave returning to his solo career is much of a hammer over Eddie's head.

Van Halen absolutely needs Dave, but Dave without Van Halen is not in a position of strength.

Agreed, Glenn...when I read that, my BS alarm went off!

My take on that is that DLR is probably pushing the bros. VH to get this thing done !!

Also, Mike could be as anxious as anyone based on what I saw on the video interviews from NAMM.

Who knows anymore, speculation runs rampant.

**5150nut** · 03.03.01, 12:30 AM

I think Mike looked anxious on the video also, He above all, seems to want to get on the road NOW!!!

**diggyd** · 03.03.01, 04:37 AM

I think Mikey is behind all of this

Mutually Assured Destruction? Of course Dave would love to be singing to 20,000 fans/night again. But he must be bored out of his mind by now....does anyone seriously believe the silence is still Dave's idea? You think he doesn't want people to know he is back in Van Halen?

Sure he wants it, but "it" isn't going to 5150 very other month to lay down a chorus. Dave has a lot to gain, but VH has more to lose...if their final legacy is VH3 it's Eddie not Dave who looks bad. And whichever side of this you're on, lets not forget that reunion would have had to been initiated by Eddie in the first place.

**Miah** · 03.03.01, 11:54 AM

For whatever reason, that article is gone. At least nothing shows up from the above link or the one from VHND. hmmmm.......

It raises an interesting question. If the VH machine ends today, what will be VH's legacy, and what will be Dave's legacy?

Do any of us really think that if Dave was not back that he would keep silent about "The Reunion." No fucking way. We haven't heard shit from him. Wich I find hard to beilieve if he is not back in. It's been well over a year since we have had any real news. I am just tired and ready to rock n roll.
