meh.

It's spED after all....

I'll believe it when I see it.

Ed, best wishes to you. You're in my prayers. As DLR said a few years ago when you had cancer: "You can whip this champ!"

[PlexiBrown]

Eddie Trunk isn't putting this news on his website because he thinks Rikk made it all up.

[Angel]

I don't have time to search for it... but didn't I tell you he needed to "admit that he has no power over alcohol, and that his life has become unmanageable"...

and then got slammed by people like Elvis about how I was sounding like a 12-step professional.

Well Elvis... looks like he's taken step 1.

Good luck, Ed...

[Hardrock69]

LMFAO!!!!

[PhillyBlonde]

This Sucks

I just think this really sucks, Dave earned this, and it's just too convenient that Eddie picked NOW to go into rehab. He's been a drunk for years.

I don't blame him for not going. I wouldn't, either. It's not like he doesn't play VH tunes on his own tours.

We should rename this thing the Hall of FARCE.

[PhillyBlonde]

OMG, that picture is a scream....!!!

[Douglas T.]

Only the Clash puts ice tea in whiskey bottles!

[PlexiBrown]

and it's just too convenient that Eddie picked NOW to go into rehab. He's been a drunk for years.

It got to the point where nobody involved with this tour outside of the band was going to go through with it unless Eddie got help first. It has nothing to do with convienent timing by Eddie.

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

Where is the music coming from!?!?!?

THe music!/

iN My head!?


Oh, nevermind, it was diamondjimi's (I think?) sig. Very cool.

[Panamark]

Hey, how can you be a legitimate Van Halen fan and not say
this is *GOOD* news.
We needed Ed back to where he was. Great news !!!
What do you say now Naysayers ??? Dave and a sober Edward
reunited !! ORRIGGGHT !!!!!

Fuckit, for my own selfish reasons I hope they hit the road
at the end, or the start of next year, or the end of next year.

Heck we know it will be with Dave now, so its all fucking good.
Another year is only a pissdrop in the ocean for the true fans.
Especially if we get Ed back. firing on all cylinders.

Great news for all fans, its been a long time coming.
This is also our best hope yet for another real Classic Album...

ONYA EDDIE !! GODSPEED !!

[Atomic Dyver]

Hope Ed is serious and gets cleaned up, good luck to him.

As for the RRHOF, this thing is a complete joke. VR, Scrumley Hagar and saucy sally should be at the recieving end of many late night jokes for some time to come.

As for the future of CVH... once you enter the rehab element into the picture and Ed is cleaned up a tour is the last place he'll want to be, too much damn temptation.

FUCK YOU ED!!!!!

you will never get it right and you have fucked up VH, there is no fixing it now.

who the fuck anounces a tour..etc etc and then says I am going to rehab ? you havent done it by now you never will. go fuck yourself!!!

[Panamark]

As for the temptation/tour angle...

I gave up smoking over ten years ago, I still go
to places where people smoke, and dont have to myself.
If you are serious about it, you can do it.

They will have to put him on some good
meds (anxiolytics/anti-depressants) simply
to allow his body to readjust from the lack
of alcohol... These meds alone can make
the world of difference, theres also meds that
make you real sick if you drink, after rehab...

Hey. doesnt stop him from enjoying reefer,
he already smokes !
