Exactly their points as well. The sum total of the parts are what made them great, not their individual star status. Even in Eddie's case. Technically he is a one trick pony as well. I have seen him in a very uncomfortable place between some peers at NAMM show concerts. There are only so many places for the hammerons, elephant and horse noises.
However, I must say that if they should need a bass player that everyone could respect, and do everything Mike did and more, they should look at Billy Sheehan. And, if Eddie gets too drunk and can't play, Steve Vai could step in. OMG....wait, that is my favorite version of DLR band (sans Gregg Bissonette

It's been discussed before whether a Roth-fronted VH would provide a good show. And, if they tour without Michael Anthony, will it still be VH as we've known it (no, of course)?
Those issues aside, I'm fired up about this bit of news! Thank you Andrew
This cannot be billed as the original VH without Anthony,plus Roth needs him as a back up singer! I think mngt will argue the point of Anthony needing to be in for it to be a proper reunion.How in hell can Eddie want to tour with Roth who he has real issues with and not Anthony.This tour will be just a big money maker and the fans will love it see you there!
No, I think not. While I cannot think of VH w/o M.A., Van Halen is Eddie and Alex. Everyone else was a hired gun, technically. Eddie has stated to guitar industry friends of mine that he will not set foot on stage with Sammy and Michael again. They had no right to market themselves as the other half, or sell hot sauce or booze by using their fame aquired by playing in Van Halen. That's his opinion.
The big reasons he is setting foot on stage with Roth is in the double digit millions.
