    I hope all the idiots trying to put a spin on this tour being cancelled being a good thing (a new album, building up the press hype) feel stupid.

    Could have seen this coming a mile away.

    This band is never getting back together.

    Long quote from Dave just added. Not sure if the Dave quote is legit but it seems real.

    Maybe Ed's serious.

    Maybe this isn't a Lohan/Spears-like stunt.

    God knows we don't want him freaking out and shaving his head.

    Either way, it's not like he's busy

    1. rehearsing with the band, or

    2. packing to go to the induction ceremony.

    I can't say anything bad.
    I hope he gets cleaned up.

    I hope Ed gets his shit together for his kid.

    And I agree there won't be a tour next year either.

    If he doesn't go to rehab he won't be alive next year.

    If he does go to rehab they are going to STRONGLY suggest he doesn't tour...too many temptations to drink. He'll probably just retire.

    I'm sure the tour with Dave will still happen in the future. I hope Ed gets his life cleaned up. I wouldn't want to pay high dollar for tickets to see CVH if Ed isn't playing up to his tremendous standards. The worst thing that could possibly happen is for him to ultimately lose his battle with alcaholism and die. As a human being, a fan and guitar player inspired by him, I'd like him to be around for a long time to come.

    There is a part of me that's very proud of Dave for staying well for all these years. Ed can say what he wants about Dave, but Dave is going to outlive him.

    Let me borrow your crystal ball when you are finished. You are probably right unless Dave gets hit by a truck or something.

    Kudos to Dave for wanting to perform and deciding to skip the whole thing when it was made clear to him that he wouldn't be allowed to get up onstage and play.

    Far as Ed goes, if it's a legit statement, it's probably a good thing he decided to go into rehab rather than go out on the road all fucked up on whatever it is he's fucked up on (meth, booze...whatever). Can't say as it matters to me on a personal level, as I don't know the man, but if he is gonna reform with Dave he should be at his best.

    This whole RnRHoF biz is getting gayer by the minute. Why fuckin' bother tuning in to see Velvet Revolver serenade Mike Anthony?

    So do I. I wish Ed the best and I hope he gets well.

    The chances of a successful, real Van Halen reunion are still small. But it will never happen unless Ed gets sober, ditches the porn ho, and gets a fundamental grasp on reality...

    Finally some good news. Ed is going to get the help he needs. This is FANTASTIC news. Now he can get his shit together first of all for himself. Then secondly for us and reuniting with DLR. Maybe an album could fall out instead of the tour because he can't tour when he gets out. I'm not rushing him to do anything, don't get me wrong, he needs to do this for himself.

    I hope Ed can get this licked.....not for the music, or the band, but just for himself. I hate to see anyone waste themselves like he's been doing.

    My heart and hope goes out to Ed. We all kinda knew that this might be the circumstance and so be it....my hope is that he gets things under control and comes back stronger and better than ever.

    As far as the BS surrounding the Hall of Fame not allowing ROTH to be on stage to sing, is the biggest piece of BS yet.....all the more reason, I think the so-called "honor" of entering the RNRHOF is crap. Why can't ROTH the spokesman for the group, rather than BassPlayer, who Ed doesn't even like at this point.....What is this? Mulletman and SPAM going to take the stage together to accept an award as the two members who contributed the LEAST to this band?

    This RNRHOF has become a joke.

    Fookin' Jann Wenner must be having an affair with SPAMwich and Mullet. Who elected Mullet to accept the Award on behalf of VH?

    No interest in Van Halen unless it involves ROTH. It's a joke otherwise.

    What does this qoute about the RRHOF from Dave mean?

    "What's happening here with this [New York event] is part and parcel of the same spiral that screwed up the tour"

    If you read the rest it seems to imply that Eddie's problems were only part of the reason for the tour to be put on hold. Promoter related?

    Tis may be why the tour was cancelled...they knew Ed couldnt perform at all and would be a major mistake if it happened. I do think we will hear something with Ed, Alex and Dave at some point thats if Ed can really get it together..

    Good to see Ed is getting cleaned up. I really hope it works this time. Be ready for him to ditch the trailer trash chick when he gets out.

    Godspeed Ed.

    The Britney shaving her head thing reminded me a lot of Ed's breakdown before the Balance tour, when he did the same thing.

    He's done it before, but maybe now Wolfgang's old enough to talk some resolve into him.

    Hey, I am TOTALLY on board and agree that Eddie needs to get his shit together and I wish him all the best.

    However, that press release was completely ego-centric and inappropriate for an official site.

    It is also very, very GAY.

    From EVH's letter:

    "Some of the issues surrounding the 2007 Van Halen tour are within my ability to change and some are not."

    What is he referring to here?

    NOW can I say "I told you so"

    Look, I wish the best for spED as well.....

    BUT I TOLD YOU GUYS HE WAS IN NO CONDITION MENTALLY OR OTHERWISE TO TOUR.

    But I got called a naysayer, blah, blah.....


    ONE good thing that may come of this from personal band experience, is usually they come out alot more HUMBLE and easier to deal with on a professional level.

    The BUMMER, is you then can't enjoy your own party in front of them. Which really blows because there ARE those of us who can have a good time, still make the show, and not kill people while driving or ruin relationships. We know when to say when.


    I haven't read first hand any Porn Gunt Releases, and I haven't read Dave's take on this, so all I can say for now is I TOLD YOU SO.
