Mike had said they were working up some old VH tunes, and he still wants to play them (in whatever capacity he can).

yeah, too bad Sammy didn't want to sing any additional old ones in 2004

Focus, half-wit. Sammy wasn't even there on the cruise.

In addressing your usual biased and ill-informed views...if you don't like the regularity of repetitive standard VH setlists, there's generally one guy you can blame for that. Hint: It ain't Dave or Sam.

Kewl, Mikey pulling out Atomic Punk, Little Dreamer, Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers, and Immigrant Song. Way kewl.

So it was Eddie who said the band would not deviate from yrgm, unchained, atbl, sbgmad, panama, and jump in 2004? I guess you were there when he decided this. schmuck

[F'nRockstar]

Actually, it has been said in many interviews that Ed made the set list and didn't want to deviate from it the entire tour.

Man I would love to have seen that. Great setlist! Somebody post the video and pics!

If you haven't figured out by now that set deviation and impromptu jams are not among Ed and Dave's strengths (conversely, Sam and Mike seem to handle it a bit better), then you ought to get yourself up to speed.

If your point simply was that Sam didn't play enough Dave era stuff to satisfy the core fanbase, well, golly gee whillikers, thanks for the newsflash. Still, there was plenty of Van Hagar era gems to pull from, and to answer your question, yep, it was Ed who decided the '04 setlist, and it was Ed who didn't want to mix it up night to night. He never has enjoyed doing that, barring some early Dave era gigs when it was just him and Alex onstage, like on the Diver tour, doing a little brown sound brotherly medley here and there ala Girl Gone Bad or Growth or whathaveyou. Sam plays more obscure Van Hagar tuneage when he's solo than when he's with Van Halen. Dave can't even throw together an on-the-fly rendition of Jump when necessary. What does that tell you?

You're not very good at reading patterns. Stop assuming shit and just look at the evidence. It's really not that difficult coming to the conclusion that two plus two does in fact add up to four.

yikes

someone needs to go on a cruise.....

'He was wearing a Britney Spears tshirt and he said "I'm wearing this t-shirt because this week I'm supporting people in Rehab".'

i'm surprised no one is calling out mike on this one as actually NOT being classy, the word d'jour to describe him and sammy of late... granted, it's just a joke, but probably one in bad taste, especially if you're putting up one face in the mainstream in public (HOF and everywhere else)...

don't get me wrong, i'm as big a mike fan as the next guy, just not understanding this, that's all...
