All we need is a statement from Ed or Dave, not fuckin melodicrock. Even if it's just, be patient everyone, we're workin on it. If VH was just any other band, then no statement needed, but the fact that they have dragged us all through the mud before, they owe it to us. We are their core fans.

VAN HALEN TOUR POSTPONED:
Yes, it is 100% true that the Van Halen 2007 tour has been indefinitely postponed. Details are a little thin on the ground and no one is talking on the record, but I did manage to talk to my contact who originally told me of the re-union plans in October last year.
Despite what little has been said publicly so far, it seems there are issues beyond paperwork and contracts that need to be ironed out. Van Halen has always been a volatile mix of personalities and 2007 is no different. Basically those involved in this tour won't commit until all issues are dealt with, hence the postponement of current plans.
I am told though, that this postponement should be just that - a temporary situation that can be sorted so that the dates that had been arranged can be re-booked and announced down the track somewhat.
The line-up for this tour remains Eddie, Wofgang & Alex Van Halen and frontman David Lee Roth.
For the record - here is what Pollstar has posted regarding the news:
"It's true. The Van Halen tour that was never officially announced is now officially postponed indefinitely, sources told Pollstar. The rumored tour took on an air of reality after a trade magazine announced that original singer David Lee Roth was about to sign on the dotted line, and that was soon followed by a press release via Eddie Van Halen's spokeswoman-slash-girlfriend. Unfortunately, the worldwide frenzy of a VH reunion was too good to be true, at least for the present day.
However, there was a lot of paper getting inked and Pollstar understands that a tour announcement might not have been far off."
And this forwarded to me from a regular contact:
"I work in radio and here's exactly what came across our "prep" service this morning from Premier Radio Network...
We learned last night from a source close to the band that Van Halen's reunion tour with David Lee Roth has been "indefinitely postponed." While Eddie, Alex, Dave and Eddie's son Wolfgang (replacing bassist Michael Anthony) have been rehearsing, their plans are now up in the air. We were told that when Eddie's girlfriend (and spokesperson) announced the reunion on February 2nd, there was no signed deal between the band, Roth and tour promoter Live Nation.
A Van Halen best-of highlighting the Roth years has also been scrapped by Rhino. A source at the label tells us they were unable to make a deal for the planned release.
Regardless of all this drama, Van Halen will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in New York on March 12th.
The last time Van Halen toured with David Lee Roth was in 1984. The last time Van Halen toured was in 2004 with Sammy Hagar.
We were unable to reach representatives for the Van Halen brothers last night. Roth's spokeswoman declined to comment."

Do you really think Rolling Stone is gonna feature the band without seeing a contract? Rolling Stone lawyers would have required this from VH lawyers.
You don't just show up at Rolling Stone and say "guys, we're back so take our photo"
www.rollingstone.com now says fall out boy is the next cover, and the Van Halen picture and the Dave interview are gone
USE YOUR HEADS!!!!
I just got off the phone with Ed. He said the tour was a go. It will be sponsored by Fender Guitars , Marlboro and Smoking Loon.
He added that they rehearse every day from 8-9 pm and tommorrow Dave is taking him out to treat him to a new pair of shoes.
He then proceded to cough twice then vomit thus ending our conversation.....

LMFAO!! Magazines don't care if something is definite. They only care if there is a story. Do you think if the band offered to talk to them about a reunion, they would say, "Prove to us this won't fall apart?"Originally posted by Baby's On Fire
There is NO WAY Rolling Stone is gonna just start snapping photos for the magazine without a verification the band is back as a band.
Get your head out of your ass.
There was no contract if this rumor is true. Do you think this fell apart because Alex spilled his Cocoa Puffs on Dave? Or do you think it was about...hmm...money? Logistics?Originally posted by Baby's On Fire
You're an idiot to think otherwise. Now, there could have been a falling out since, but there WAS a contract. Fucking period.
Idiot.

A couple of supplementals from Andrew of Melodic Rock for those that don't frequent the Links:
"I wish I could spill it all, but I don't want to burn bridges. Update online now. Hope it makes sense.
Basically, this isn't a dead end, but some things have be put in order for it to be given the green light again. No one with $$$ behind this wants a train wreck (so to speak)...
Cheers,
Andrew."
And
"
Yeah, I expect I'll get that response. I couldn't say much, believe me.
Let's just say that the "issues" are perhaps not between who we might automatically presume them to be."
www.rollingstone.com
Fall out Boy on the next cover, and no more VH pic.....
Gee, I guess Baby's a Liar really knows his shit. LMMFAO
although I listen to the radio all day and I heard nothin about this, only when i got online here and at the links did i hear about this rumor
I want to here it from Dave or Ed. WTF?
Listen dumbass....it has happened before that RS has run stories like this only to have it blow up.Originally posted by Baby's On Fire

Since you obviously don't have a clue, YOU shut the fuck up!
I reckon they are just playing a psychological game at the moment to keep the media spotlight on them till RRHOF speach.
1 - Announce reunion etc = Everyone happy
2 - Announce cancelation = Everybody let down etc
3 - At RRHOF The whole of the rock world is looking on as they appear altogether & announce on stage that yes they *are* touring
= We are now REALLY happy again
4 - Maybe higher tcketprices.......(time to bitch again)
Summing up i just think this is a complete bullshit ploy to put VH fans on an emotional rollercoaster till the *thru the roof* tickets are on sale.
So then we think '2007 might be the only time that you would be able can to see then live ever again'................. TRUE!

Idiot.
You're probably one of those idiots who think they all just showed up at Rolling Stone and had the photos done in a few minutes. You know, one of those idiots saying "Dave must be the leader cuz he's in front", or "Dave looks good so he must have had botox", or 'Dave doesn't look happy".
As if the photo line-up wasn't arranged by the fucking photo director after they all spent two hours in a make-up chair.
My God, but there's a lot of stupid motherfuckers on this board. Clueless!!
The only thing this news tells me is that SPAM and Bassplayer are paying attention very closely.
Perhaps there is sabotage from Cabo ?
Perhaps that is the purpose.Originally posted by TAKIN WHISKEY
I have been following this bullshit since 10am eastern. One thing is for fuckin sure. These motherfuckers need to make a public announcement immediately. If the tour is still a go, then discredit the source and give a thumbs up. If it is up in the air, let us know why. If it's over, they can all go fuck themselves.
Perhaps somebody wanted to force THEM to make some kind of announcement by making a bullshit announcement they would have to confirm or deny.
So far there has been nothing I would consider 'Official' anyway, as a stream of mumblings by some porno-bitch nobody ever heard of does not consitute 'official' in this business.
Although, they could probably never quite reach the dumbness levels of teasing Dave then giving Gary Cherone, for a band that has created itself such a reputation for flakiness over the last decade both in the industry and beyond, if this is a marketing ploy, it's a pretty damn dumb one.Originally posted by katie

Hey stoopid....
NOBODY is claiming the photo shoot was a spur of the moment quickie, you fucking MORON
We're laughing at YOUR CLAIM that RS demanded to view a signed tour agreement prior to aggreeing to the shoot
You're a fucking IDIOT
But keep digging, it's fun to watch.
Fall Out Boy are flav of the month at the mo.
So their record company *may* have said 'We will pay you X amount in advertising if you run the latest here today,gone later today band' on the cover + you get the exculsive etc etc.
VH reunion pic & story may be on page 3
Who knows.
Just don't think VH are over & out this early in the game
Katie
Its fuckin ridiculous, just split everything 4 ways. Song writing credits and all that crap go to the relevant parties, and YES Wolfie gets a big slice of the action as he is in on the deal too.
As I said on a previous thread, shes probably on work experience.

I declare you the tool of the day.
Katie, you have the day off.
The Sisters have been money grubbers for years now. Alex is always broke. Eddie must be, he is selling everything including his soul for a quick buck, like striped guitars and pedals.
So is it any surprise that the new band is now all happy and ready to tour -- then Dave gets the paperwork and says, 'THESE GUYS ARE FUCKED IN THE HEAD.'
You have tour agreements to sign, future royalties on things like DVDs (as mentioned above), the Rhino deal --- Ed and Al are probably just treating Dave like Michael Anthony -- they think he is 'lucky' to be there and think he'll sign anything to go on tour ---- like those two goofs have any other card to play.
I would say today's news is simply round 1 in a game of Multi-Million Dollar Chicken.
Funny....the Rolling Stones Forums are "Down for maintanence"....
