van halen or van hagar?  

i hear you.it actually looked like it was gonna happen this time,but i guess eddie's still got some issues to work on.
i did like some of dave's solo work,but there was a chemistry with VH.

no i left that one out-these two i hear about the most.
i had wondered what happened to michael anthony-it's cool
wolfgang is in now..the band's 3/4 related LOL
i didn't know mike had jumped over to hagar tho

VanHalen was inactive for a while, so at the time, Sammy Hagar probably needed a bass player, & being that they were probably friends, & has actually experienced Nike Anthony in action, that was probably how he got recruited. From what I understand, even though Sammy split from VanHalen, they were all still friends,

that's cool.
i'm glad they remained friends

Coming back to this months later, I heard that David Lee Roth & Sammy Hagar, or one of them or both of them, refuse to appear on the same stage with each other in a Van Halen reunion. If that was to happen, there are plenty of songs that need two guitarists. One song where Eddie did a solo did have guitar riffs in the background, & being that Sammy Hagar is also a guitar player, that would enhance things.

supposedly they were out for a while recently,but i think that may be on hold again.i don't know if it was eddie this time or dave.

Uh - I'm thinking that it's sort of like as far as I am concerned, it's both of them. David Lee Roth does have a big ego. So does Eddie, as well as being the owner of the VH name.

Uh - I would hate to see what would happen if they went & put Eddie & Yngwie Malmsteen together. I'm thinking uranium 235 not necessary.

holy crap ..
that sounds worthy of a pay per view event all by itself.

It seems that there are quite a few bands out there in which the guy who started the band is somewhat of an unknown.

Black Sabbath - the band is Tony iommi's band, but you mention his name, quite a few people would look at you wondering, "HOO DAT?" They would know Black Sabbath when you mention that he's their guitarist. If you mention Ozzy or Dio, people would know who you're talking about.

Scorpions - Rudolf Schenker's band, but he is relatively known except by people who are REALLY into their music & history. Names that people might associate with them are Michael Schenker (Rudy's younger brother) & Uli Jon Roth (probably not very well-known either).

The Temptations (around since around 1960) - Otis Williams' singing group, but a relatively unknown name. He might be a bit well-known from his book that he wrote about the group, but the actual stars are (or were) David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, & Dennis Edwards.

Most of the time, groups/bands started & owned by the big star are usually solo careers in which the name of the band is the actual star or has the star's name in it.

BQ-i'd heard valerie was a little instigator..
i wouldn't doubt it.

KK~wow.i can't even remember the last time i saw MSG..1990?somewhere around there.
