I saw the last tour they did. I’ll probably go see them this time to but I kinda want to hold out until they reunite with Michael Anthony. But, the odds of that happening are probably not good because EVH doesn’t want it. But I have hopes Mike will be back some day. It doesn’t hurt to have hope, does it?
“High Hopes” – Sammy Hagar, great song!
So much for additional Tremonti tour dates this year.
I just don’t see going again….Not same without Mike….Wolf is alright, but just not the same. Clearly Dave is hired hand. Just not feelin it. Bring a Sammy Dave and Mike show and I will be there.
Not that I would expect a radically different setlist, but odd touring in support of a live album from a tour not that long ago, essentially just recreating the live album. At least, do like Maiden and recreate a show/tour from many years ago…
Starting to hear rumblings that Van Halen will also make an appearance on the Dinah Shore Show, alongside Burt Reynolds and Wayne Newton. Eddie, can you confirm?
