DLR Online Activity…

ron: Profile where? Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, … ?

So far just twitter from what i can tell.

Too bad Dave’s people didn’t hire my company to do his website!!! Now that would have been cool!

PT5150: Is he relaunching for a solo outing??

Who knows?! We do know the EEAS reunion thing is supposed to be happing at some point, but with the other members out touring, I don’t think that’s happening soon. There was also the talk of the DLR/John 5 album that was already done, so maybe that is coming? We’ll just have to wait and see.

Do you think it’s likely he will release a non-VH album? What do you guys think? If you had to guess?

If I had to guess, Dave does a 1 off show with EEAS band. I believe Fletch somewhat got that info out of Greg B. at NAMM that it would be 1 show. It was talked about elsewhere that February 5th of 2015 was when Tokyo Dome, the TV appearances and tour were announced. Could be that as of February 5 2016 Dave’s contract or maybe even a non compete claus is up and that is the reason for his online profile coming back to light. If Dave does release that album with John 5 than in my opinion it would mean he isn’t doing anything with VH in the near future. However if that presumption is true that Dave would have signed a contract with stipulations that he would not do any self promoting or release anything non Van Halen than I can’t see any situation where Sam would come back with a contract like that. If Van Halen Inc. made Dave do that there is no reason to think they wouldn’t demand the same of Sam.

Billy Sheehan has also confirmed a few times that the EEAS reunion would be happening.

IF VH were to do ANYTHING in the future, the only thing that I believe would be successful would be a reunion with Hagar and Mike. Wolf is getting ready to drop his solo CD and I presume he is still involved with Tremonti. As much as I don’t like Hagar, I would like to get another new album out of Ed and if that means Hagar is on it, so be it. In a perfect world, they could hire a lyricist or something, but I’m sure Hagar wouldn’t go for that. There are a lot of people who do like that era and who enjoy his lyrics, so I think it would be relatively successful.

You know, it would be cool to see Dave playing songs from his entire career, doing some live shows, just a relaxed affair. But of course the dream for me is to see Steve Vai and Dave play. Vai has been one of my faves for a long time.
