VH tribute w/Satch?

[Lefty68]

Alex Van Halen, David Lee Roth and Joe Satriani have discussed a Van Halen tribute tour

The news of the possible tribute to Eddie Van Halen emerged after former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted spilled the beans

I think they should do it. For us to never hear Alex play again would be sad because he's such a great drummer and performer, and to hear Joe do his take on Ed would be awesome. I also think Newstead's perspective - if it was accurately reported - is a bit weird, because no one's asking anyone to "top" anything, but only 'tribute', right? So for bass, personally, I'd rather see Alex make amends with Michael Anthony for the gig (how can that not be possible?). As far as Dave goes... he's retired now, but never say never. Dave's voice isn't great obviously, but I can't see anything "Van Halen" ever happening without him.

Interested in what you's all think.

not a show for satch. so many better choices.

I think Satch & AVH should just start a new band, new songs, new singer...

And if you did I'd fly across the country if I had to, to be there.

 

[StrummerJoe]

Satriani is perfect for this. I'm sure Alex knows who his little brother respected.

 

[MonstersOfTheMidway]

Lots of other people I'd rather hear play EVH guitar parts than Satch (hell, I'll even take Wolfie over Satch).

Ditto. I love me some VH. Love me some Satch. Just can't hear the two together...but I can picture fresh material from them. I'm sure he could do it just fine but as others said, plenty of other players I think would be a better fit. Hell, I remember that VH tribute album from the 90's where a bunch of artist's covered their fav VH tunes and there was some great stuff on it - I really enjoyed (and was kinda blown away) by the Reb Beach/Joe Lynn Turner pairing on "Dance the Night Away".

That would be incredible, and the timing for it is right too!

 

[junk notes]

The Van Halen computer
Satrian/Anthony - okay
DLR/Vai - okay
Satriani/AVH - ?
= band ego chemistry to write new material?

I'd love to know who y'all think is better for the job. I'm sure there is just as capable, but who is better - with name recognition?

it really is a tough thing, just look at the guy that plays for Sammy... He doesn't get a lot of respect, nor name recognition. He seems a good enough player, but...

Vic is a good player - he's just horrible at covering EVH's parts.

 

[StrummerJoe]

Nuno.

Great player who was friendly with Ed. I don't think he'd be better, but he'd be fine. Has almost as much name recognition as Satch amongst guitar players.

 

[Dogs of Doom]

see, I couldn't even had told you his name...

still, Satch, playing EVH fulltime? nah...

Vai used to play VH stuff in DLR band, he can play it, but, still not EVH...

None of these guys play the brown sound.

I don't think there really is one single person that could pull it off, that said I still think Satch is as good a choice as anyone.

He's Alex's choice and that's good enough for me.

I know whatever happens, it will be interesting.
