I think, definitively, Roth will never tour with VH again. Those two cats don't see eye to eye. Even if Roth is doing the humanitarian gig right now, that won't change Eddie's opinion of him. Eddie is too mired in his own life to worry about dealing with the wild stallion that is Diamond Dave.
I don't think that Perry will ever tour with Journey again. I just bought the TRIAL BY FIRE cd again, and heard it again fresh after a long time. I think it's pretty great. I even dig the extra track. But I don't think Stevo wants to do the tour grind ever again. He should just be like the Beatles... produce new music and stay at home. There's too much talent there for it to go to waste... it's his calling.
Having said that, I would have LOVED a Police reunion like 10 years ago, but I don't think that Sting would do it. His ego was the main reason the Police disbanded all those years ago. And truth be told, he has NEVER reached the level of music he achieved with the POLICE on his own. The time for a POLICE reunion has come and gone.
There's something to be said about EGO, and it's part in the slaying of the above three bands. Too much has happened between the parties, and we the listeners have been robbed of some great music.
