Would it be an abomination if Alex, Dave, Mike, and Sam formed a group called Panama?
I'm sure Dave would love to be in the studio with Sam and sing to his guitar playing.

Eventually when the Covid restrictions end & touring resumes....
Both Sam & Dave will be unfairly mocked & unjustly ridiculed by the large contigient of EVH VH fans.
Both Sam & Dave will go out doing their thing as they've both already done countless times & one tour together....
BUT- Now that EVH is no longer with us...I predict a large amount of EVH VH fan's will accuse both VH vocalists as " cashing in" on the VH material.
They will both be accused of being washed up hacks scraping the barrel cashing in on the VH legacy shamefully performing VH material.
I gaurantee it. Just wait a couple years & see.
BUT- What these mouthy little punk ass " fans" fail to acknowledge is that both Sam & Dave are performing their own material THAT THEY WROTE.
FFS.
Do Led Zeppelin fans criticise Robert Plant & Jimmy Page performing Led Zeppelin material in their solo shows.....no they didnt...
Did Bad Company fans criticise Paul Rodgers playing Bad Company tunes on his solo tours....no they didn't
Do Pink Floyd fans criticise Roger Waters performing Pink Floyd material.....NO...
Do Beatles fans criticise Paul Mc Cartney for performing Beatles songs.....Fuck No....Are you kidding...
SEE- What I'm pointing out....
BUT- You don't even have to wait for the future when both Sam & Dave eventually go out on tour....
YOU- Can scroll back on the internet to 2002 to 2006 & read old VH fan commentary with your own eyes & see how stupid as fuck many VH fans truly are....
EVH VH fan's are unjustly super hyper extremley critical about VH music being performed live from both VH vocalists David & Sam.
" Oh it's a VH tribute act...blah, blah, blah...
Vic butchers the material, blah, blah, blah, "
I could go on & on but you probably already know what I'm getting at....
Of course- It's ok if EVH & AVH perform both VH tunes written with both Dave & Sam with another vocalist...Gary Cherone...Mitch Mallone...Sass Jordon...Patti Smith...
Oh that's ok.

What- Who Me? Haha...
Please forgive me my fellow VH brother I was just rambling off the top of my head after clicking this new thread.
I could sense rightaway it's a kooky nonsense novelty topic based upon the first & second posts so just typed whatever I said impulsivly.
BUT- I guess what I was trying to say is I've long been perplexed by the overwhelming lack of enthusiasm most rock fan's display towards the vocalists from big name rock bands in their solo carreers.
Not just VH....but pretty much almost ALL big well known rock acts.
Ozzy & Sting are the only exceptions I can think of where the audience appreciates & supports them ion the same level as the main big act they became known from.
Take Roger Daltrey for example....He's done several solo tours & released numerous albums & live dvds many including WHO material....But always in a much smaller venue than when performing with The Who....Which of course only have 2 original members over a decade now at least...
The Who go on tour they play Arena's....
Roger Daltrey goes on tour....clubs & theaters...
Same voice...much of the same Who material performed....
The Who tour....thousands of fans attend in arena's wordwide....
The singer from The Who goes on tour....He's playing to thousands less in smaller venues....
Where are the fans & what is their logic...." No I'm not going to buy a ticket to see The legendary Who singer live in concert....It's not The Who without Pete Townsend....
What happens when Pete Townsend goes on tour by himself as a solo act....the same Who fans dont attend because its not The Who....
But- They are both legendary artists performing their iconic material live....
Same thing with DLR & Sammy Hagar....
As well as Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden when he was solo. He made several dynamite high quality albums but regulated to performing in smaller venues with much less fanfare. If any at all.
John Fogerty is another example....
The other CCR guys drew as much as John Fogerty solo without him.
Pink Floyd another good example....
Pink Floyd played STADIUMS without Roger Waters...
Roger Waters actually did ok all things considered but never packed Stadiums like David Gilmour did touring with the Pink Floyd name....
My point is many rock fans are oblivious to the actual artists in the big name acts when they tour solo....
The rock fans recognize the big brand name & that's all.
So the actual artists are getting screwed by their own fanbase because many wont support them in the same capacity as they did with the main big rock act they are from.
Just doesnt make sense to me at all.
