Dave has always kept himself in shape but look at Eddie Van Halen. He's living proof you can ruin your health and make and bounce back. I've seen some Eddie photos posted here through the years where Freepers ridiculed how awful he looked. Like a homeless man with rotten teeth

Gotta say he looks a heck of a lot better than he did in the last picture I saw of him. Hope he’s gotten his life back on track.
And I have to say, those photos of DLR remind me of why I liked Sammy so much.
DLR was a better “fit” for Van Halen’s style but Sammy is a FAR better musician.
Sammy Hagar was very good plus I understand he made about $60 million when he sold his Cabo Wabo Tequila company. So good for Sammy!!

It goes to show you how drugs, partying and alcohol wreak havoc on the body.
I’m so glad I’m pure. (just kidding lol)
DLR was too much of a ham for me. Plus he remided me of a smart ass kid I knew in high school.
That’s funny. Van Halen hired a Chinese drummer
It ain’t Van Halen without Michael Anthony.
Camping it up. And Dave is in no way gay. It’s great that Eddie and Dave are getting along so well. This could have happened years ago. I blame Eddie. He was zonked out for years. Messed up his health so much he got a hip operation..... But no matter. Van Halen is back and can make a whole bunch of money they richly deserve.
And the fans are overjoyed
Wow. They look great...it would be perfect if they had Sammy and Michael Anthony as well.
No way! He likes the girls too much.
It’s great that Eddie and Dave are getting along so well. This could have happened years ago. I blame Eddie.
Eddie and his ego were to blame.
I saw DLR twice in concert and it was a blast both times. Talk about entertainment!
You could argue that there are more Van Halens in the band now than in the beginning.
I have known people who worked with both of them. To be blunt, both Dave and Eddie are arrogant assholes.
Eddie at least has the advantage of talent.
I agree....that would be a true reunion with Mike Anthony.
