apparently EVH didn't want him on the last tour and MA had to take a pay cut to be part of it.
EVH was peeved about him playing with Sammy Hagar outside van halen. rather petty. |

But whether he can lay it down at MA standars remains to be seen... |

one of my buddies is a big VH fan and he said there recent concerts SUCK, he says Eddie is all washed up and sounds like crap. if i was MA i wouldn't want to go out with them anyway. |

I don't really have a problem with it as long as Wolfie wants to go and is treated well. Plus it’s none of my business. Based on what I've read though I have a hard time believing Eddie will treat his son any better than he treats other band members.
I wouldn't go see them unless it was the original line up. I don't Eddie's ego doesn't need any more stroking. |

Stunt? Hardly. Van Halen is comprised of family, why not add another member?

It'll all start out OK, but once Wolfie's voice changes, they'll be sorry.

It's really simple. No MA = No VH. I'm fairly annoyed by this, as Mike's prob'ly my #1 influence as a player. I don't even really care who's singing, I've bought all the albums with all the singers, but Mikey makes that band what it is. With the VH brothers going off (musically), someone has to mind the store, so to speak. And yet, he gets bagged on for being "boring" or "simple".
I may have to edit my sig in protest.  |

I think Coco Chanel said it best:

But at fifty you get the face you deserve.
