Van Halen announcing 2019 tour

In the beginning of March the band will be announcing an eleven date reunion tour ( five of them will be taking place in Las Vegas , on December), the line up is still the latest one with Wolfie on the bass, but Michael Anthony will be joining them to play the Jack Daniels solo and would be singing somebody get me a Doctor. They almost agreed to include Spam for singing two songs, but this finally did not come to terms. This is not the final tour, it´s the prelude for a 2021 final world tour that luckily d include the original line up.-

List your source. I did.

Probably from "Alternative Nation". That's the article that popped up in my news feed this morning. And it reads like some poorly sourced tabloid rumor mill bullshit to me....

Van Halen 11-Date Reunion Tour & Michael Anthony’s Role Revealed?
Mike Mazzarone
3-4 minutes

A major rumor about Van Halen’s reunion tour has leaked. Originally broken by MetalheadZone, someone claiming to be a Warner/Chappell Music employee took to social media earlier to release the following statement. It should be noted that his identity/employment status hasn’t been verified, so this should be taken as a rumor. The full statement can be viewed below. Eddie Trunk recently discussed the rumored issues between Sammy Hagar and Van Halen. Foo Fighters are rumored to have a surprising role in the reunion.

“Van Halen will be touring in 2019. As you know, I work at Warner, and we have, by being the label of many incredible artists, information from their management.

An official announcement is coming VERY soon, but here’s what you need to know, to clarify the rumors of recent months, including this return more or less awkwardly announced by David Lee Roth.

– This is not a tour itself, but 6 dates in American stadiums, during the summer to come.

– The band will be going to Las Vegas for 5 additional dates, in December.

– It’s not a farewell tour.

– The line up is the same as the last years: Eddie, Alex, Wolfie, and David.However, to answer the rumors of reformation of the original line up, YES Michael Anthony will be of the part, but it will be only appearances with each concert, featuring, at a given moment of the concert … indeed, Mike will come on stage with his bass Jack Daniels and begin his famous bass solo, before playing “somebody get me a doctor”, which he will sing himself, as in 1998 and 2004. By cons I do not know if Wolfie will be on stage at that time …. Eddie Trunk said true. Mike too, since he is not allowed to talk about this project ….

– No interview will be granted, no one wants to justify the war against anthony and hagar, and this unexpected return, it seems that this is a big financial and legal history: Last year, Van Halen wanted to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first album, turning and re-recording the first album, but with Wolfie on bass. Anthony opposed this. Not out of revenge for his ouster, but compared to the fans, which generated a legal and financial battle, which gave rise to this project: Van Halen featuring Michael Anthony, for dates in stadium, and vegas ….

– No new album or compilation coming soon.

– Sammy Hagar is not part of the project, this one refused, mike had the idea to include it but each of the two parts did not agree.

– The visuals with the planes I shared last year were real, they were prototypes of posters for the abandoned 2018 tour. Funny that it went around the net!

The official announcement arrives at the end of the month / beginning of March!

No way in Hell that Sobolewski shows up to play one song.

BS.

Why would they get Mike to just be a "guest" on the tour to play his lame bass solo and sing Somebody Get Me a Doctor??
Bassplayer was never a lead singer and sounds like shit trying to sing Dave's songs.

He actually did do a great job on Doctor. The audience would;t like Mike being there but not being on stage obviously. I can;t see that working.

It was probably the most tolerable part of the entire Van Danniels clusterfuck actually...

So, no new album, original line up is iffy, Dave's vocal are shit, and Eddie and lil' Hitler Alex control all else. Maybe the maintenance on all those Ferrari's' adds up.

Tickets? Probably priced high than what the Stones, Sting, and Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch could ever hope to achieve. Of course, you suckers will buy into it because I guess homoerotica works that way.

Fuck it I’ll go see them. Tie it into a weekend getaway. Not really into the stadium setup (cashgrab) so have to pay top dollar for decent seats. Who will they be touring with? I thought I heard GNR at one point. Probably be a $1500 weekend. Oh well, hopefully a casino or beach nearby.

I’ve been checking in here for ever - was spotted by someone after a show in Tacoma WA wearing a Roth and Roll shirt - love VH - doesn’t matter the ridiculousness - I’ll keep checking in here while they’re all still breathing - for the love of sex, drugs and rock n roll let’s keep the faith

This is exciting times for Van Halen fans... Get ready...

For what? Another mediocre tour with the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man on bass? A vocalist who sings like a caged bird? Two neo-Nazi musician brothers who despise their fans?

Yeah, exciting.

Maybe, just maybe (and it's only a maybe) if Neo-fascist Eddie decided to tour with F A T P A T T Y I'd pay to see that.

Try and conserve your energy and enthusiasm... you don't want to run out of gas before you've gotten out of the parking lot...

I saw them live back in 2015 and they were duller than a plastic pic-nic knife. What makes you think they would be any better now? Not the original lineup and they are in their 60's now and are not know for being as touring band in the past 20 years. No new material and none on the horizon. This tour is to pay for Ed's Ferrari's and his failure to sell his shitty amps and guitars. Basically this is a "Ed needs to pay off his creditors tour."

Maybe the proceeds from selling striped shoes and leggings offset any losses on the gear side.

Doesn't matter. Bottom line: who wants to see a band that has zero respect for their most devoted fans?

Yeah, that's a good point... can you imagine what kind of idiots hang out and post on their fan sites daily..?

This is not a fan site it's a homoerotic fiction gathering of middle-aged white males who are afraid to come out of the closet.

Feel free to take out a loan to pay for your ticket to help Ed settle his debt.

Is this how you rationalize none of them wanting to fuck you? :)

No way the bass player shows up for a shitty bass solo and 1 tune. These rumors are silly.

Maybe this thread should be renamed, or given a comment under its title.

He might show up to shove the entire neck of a custom Jack Daniel’s bass up Eddie’s ass and then kick him off the edge of the stage.

God damn it, let's reiterate the FACTS, shall we?

1. The original lineup has not put out any new material in over 35 years. A new generation has come and given birth to another one and still no new material yet you cretins still have this really fucked up devotion to then which can only be described as homoerotic. There can be no other explanation. And not one of you thinks that is a little weird? Especially at your age?

2. Not one member of the original lineup gives a shit about their fan base. When Billy Joel said has no longer has any tunes left in him he still gave credence to his fans (consider how fucked up they are) and went back on tour to play the hits and and non-hits they love. Did your spandex-sporting butt-boy do the same? Did The Brothers Assholemazov bother to blow a fart in the direction of their most loyal? Well, they did shit all over them but I guess many of you are into to that.

3. They are fucking old now. As are most of you. Dickhead Diamond's voice sounds like peeling paint from concrete on a hot summer's day. Drugs, alcohol and pussy destroyed what little talent he had. As for Eddie, he is more or less a parody of himself now. He has turned to marketing his crap guitars, amps and pedals because why make an album when you can make this shit? Not only that, every failed musician buys it thinking it makes them a better player. It doesn't. It never will. The other two..who cares other then that no longer speak to each other without the aid of a lawyer.


There you have it. And don't try to debate these facts because I just destroyed all your bullshit argument(s). If you want to live in Nostalgia Land paying off Eddie's creditors while he laughs at you on stage for knowing how a bunch of dumbfucks you are then be my guest.

It's been over 35 years. Time to let it go.

Ye Ha. Don't think any poster here has their head in the sand about the band, or what they are today . But nobody is that angry or negative as you. Message boards are nothing to get into a twist over these days, being that sour's only gonna shorten your life...

Sinatra has been dead for what, over 20 years and he has more respect for Van Halen fans then Van Halen does.

Hell to be mad at the world.

I'm not mad but you're being taken advantage of.

Hardly. I expect nothing, and that's not why I'm here anyway.

MICHAEL ANTHONY Says VAN HALEN Reunion Tour Is 'Not Gonna Happen'

http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/mic...-gonna-happen/

...for now 😴

Gesendet von meinem SM-G955F mit Tapatalk

People are saying 2020 now, so...

Anthony didn't say it's not gonna happen because [Anthony] would never do it.

So, I suppose potentially it could happen.

It'd be...I dunno, nice to see the CVH lineup give it a go. Personally, my own feeling is - assuming a CVH reunion does take place - they all waited too long for it to really matter in any meaningful way: Van Halen is a spent force which has struggled over the last decade to even match what they did from 1978 to 1984 in a live setting - much less improve upon it - never mind come up with new material that equals what they did on the 6-pack. I have a hard time believing the absence of Anthony was the primary missing piece in all of that. So now, Anthony rejoins for the 4th Greatest Hits tour in 13 years...okay. So? Then what?
