Alex Van Halen says the band sounds better than it ever has.

Hard Rock Hideout 
There are plenty of us out there that couldn’t disagree with you more. The 80’s era of rock represented time when music was fun. That is why it continues to have a strong following 20 years later. The crap Clear Channel continues to put out made me subscribe to satellite radio. I refuse to listen to their crap anymore.
Goofier than disco? Nothing was goofier than 70’s disco.
True there are plenty of new musicians out there that are rocking hard, that sound great. You won’t hear them on the radio today. It is too stuffed shirt to play anything real.
I suspect that this will be disapointing to more than a few people.Van Halen’s time has come and gone.Why won’t 80’s musicians realize that their era was the only thing goofier than disco.There are a whole new crop of musicians out there.Listen to something new.Break the chains that Clear Channel have bound you in.Quit living in the past.Peg, rest assured,I won’t like it or listen.
Who knows….the kid could be better than Michael Anthony. I like MA, but until any of us hear Wolfgang play live, none of us will ever know.
Back your truck up!!!! Michael Anthony is replaceable! Sorry he’s gone, but, what a better replacement than Eddie’s son!!! I know the harmonies will be different, but, it is what it is. If you don’t like it, don’t listen.
Michael anthony was FORCED out of VH-so people who think he wouldnt have chose to be there are HIgh! MA was forced to NEGOTIATE for lesser pay on the last VH tour by EVH-and had to go to MANAGEMENT to negotiate-therefore I will not be there-VH is the original 4=besides-anyone who has seen DLR live-knows he cant freaking sing the shit anymore-it will be a farce-watch for an overdoctored DVD to come out-with crap on it…VH SUCKS
Rob, will you be going to the Indianapolis show? I think that’s the one I’ll be attending.

Dorothy says: Ding Dong, Van Hagar’s dead! The wicked bitch, the wicked snitch! Ding Dong, Van Hagar’s officially DEAD!
LONG LIVE THE CLASSIC ERA…!!!
P.S. Wrong choice, Mikey…bad decision (you chose Sammy over a Dave reunion???! WTF?) and it’s your loss!
Wolfie will kick your ass from here on in!
It’s about time they grew up and decided to play nice together. I am lovin’ it!!!!!!! Hope they come to Dallas at some point in the tour. Thank you VH for getting it right.
I watched it live on VH-1 Classic, I’m disappointed Mike anthony won’t be there but I love DLR so I will be in Boston 10/30 for the show.
