you know what's so annoying about bands like GnR and VH? They could make a mint by reforming with their old lineups and touring that way, as other bands have done. They still, however, cling to decade-old feuds and petty ego trips.
GET OVER IT, GUYS! You're all in your 40's-50's, not 20 anymore, and you're all millionaires. Whether somebody stole a groupie from somebody else 20 years ago is a kid's fight.
Eddie, quit worrying abour Roth's showmanship and ego...people went to see him as much as you. Just play the damned guitar. Stop blaming him for your alcohol problem, too.
Axl, just call up Slash, apologize like a man and get to makin' some good hard rock again. You probably don'r remember what either of you did to pi$$ the other off anyway. Point is, you guys made good music together. If you want, put on the gloves, get in a ring, and brawl it out, but stop all this schoolboy crap.

Well said! I mean, if Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey can still get together and make music, so can just about any other band! ;)

Exactly right...there is no reason that EVH and DLR shouldn't be back on a tour. I heard Roth talk about it on the Radio almost ten years ago...he wanted to do it, but said Eddie was the problem. Eddie wouldn't let him back in the band....then Roth said "Eddie, if you ever want us both back in the stadiums, we must reunite....our breakup is so far in the the rearview mirror..."
Roth is right. VH could have one last big venue tour in them with DLR. Why those guys don't get it, I don't know. They can recreate their immortality once again, sell a ton more records, and maybe luck out with a new generation exposed to the music.
That said, I did see a VH concert with Hagar, loved it, and will go this summer if the rumors are true. VH with Hagar is still better than most bands. I saw VH with Gary Cherone six years ago and it was not good.

Smart, professional musicians realize that even though they might not like each other too much, they can make a lot of money playing together. Do the Rolling Stones all love each other? Who knows. But they're smart enough to know they can keep making money.
