Just news, okay?

Cheers

I read about this eariler this morning, cool stuff!

Although I must admit, if he doesn't wear the spandex and do the spinning roundhouse kick into the big balloon like on the "Just like paradise" video then it won't be worth it (and yes I am aware he's 51)

Oh yeah! bring back the big inflatable microphone!

As long as they come to the UK, thats fine. Its been a dream of mine to see these before they finish. Thats why I was gutted they didnt come to the UK the last time they "re-formed". Although with Roth it would be so much better. Please, please come to the UK if you do re-unite!!!

I'd love it if they got back together but I just can't see it I'm afraid - too much bad blood between DLR and EVH.

But yes, please come to the UK, bring the inflatable microphone and the flying over the crowd surfboard.

I saw DLR on the Skyscraper & Lil aint enough tours and he is the best frontman ever

Never say never. Presidents Jefferson & Adams were vitriolic opponents when they were young politicians, but became close later in life. Of course, if the same holds true for DLR & EVH, the songs will be slower, Ed'll have to tune down to Db and they'll add an accordion to the band...

You might be suprised -
Eddie is a shrewd businessman. If he decides he wants to make more money, this will happen.
Look at Cream- Baker and Bruce HATED each other.
Look at the Eagles- Henley and Frey didn't talk.
Look at Pink Floyd - Waters and Gilmour HATED each other.

Follow the money to see the future.....

After the last craptacular VH tour, I'm done giving my money to a burnt-out alcoholic has-been. DLR or not, anything EVH does WILL suck because the guy is completely incapable of getting his $hit together. If they were at all smart, they'd just leave the past be instead of tarnishing it any further.

LOL I have to deal with enough drunks in the audience at my own gigs. I don't have the patience to have to deal with them onstage too

It's ok for you guys in the states, but when was the last time that line-up was in the UK?

Probably the same time that lineup was in the States. There haven't been any DLR/VH reunions thus far.

Save your money and buy a DVD of an original DLR/VH show - it'd be far more worthwhile than wasting $100+ per ticket and having to watch EVH stumble through a solo. And I don't mean stumbling as far as playing (though he does plenty of that too.) I mean literally stumble.
