Maybe but I wasn't coming at it from that angle. I think the baggage of the name /legacy/brand has complicated things more for a guy who was bound to complicate things just fine on his own.

...and that's my fear. This whole thing is tenuous enough without throwing an extra couple of ppl for Eddie to get pissed at or any warring lead singers. I'd prefer the "safety" of moving forward with what they started ~2 years ago.
HOWEVER, if they announce it I'm there. And if they explode I hope its either AT or AFTER my show :d

So let me just throw this out there for thought... something as potentially big as this sure would be a good chance to make even bigger with the right co-headliner. I know we've got nothing to go on, but how cool would that be?

I'm kind of mixed on the whole thing. After ADKoT and the awesome tour they put on then had to put on hiatus, I was kind of hoping it was a return to there being one VH who'd put out another album or two.

Bringing Sammy back in raises a couple questions for me- are they falling back on their "Best of..." haunches? Also, talk about fucked up, but the LEAST contentious dude in the band, Michael, is now potentially the only one cut out of a reunion?  And for what? Not liking being mistreated and daring to be friends with Sammy after he fell with the brothers? Seems super wack to me- I'd kind of hope Sammy wouldn't jump on a deal without Mike.

I wish them the best, and I'd go see it in a heartbeat, but it seems like a step back to me after the positive forward progress of the last 18 months.

I don't know how well this will sit with you lot, but I came across this band on Sirius over the weekend and bought the album for $5 on a whim. The music reminds me at varying times of Brian Jonestown Massacre meets surf rock meets Donkey Kong.
