OK, a lot of people don't know it but before a major band goes out on tour, everybody has to pass a physical exam. Remember, this is major money we're talking about and if a star can't complete the tour the investors lose their cash. I'm guessing Eddie went in for the physical and the doctor sidelined him... probably the best thing that ever happened to him. I have a hard time believing Ed went into rehab of his own free will.

Dude.
How many rock stars do you think could pass any kind of drug or alcohol screen?
Everyone's liver function tests would be sky high.
Lung function tests would be whacked out from all the smoking.
If this were the case, no rock bands would ever tour. -

Stop starting numerous threads about your infatuation with Eddie Van Halen's body.And God heard the voice of the lad. Then the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, “What ails you, Hagar? Genesis 21:17Comment

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Kieth Richards would have been kept off the road 40 years ago dude.
Investors bet on a band just like people bet on horses at the track.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Well, obviously there would be NO drug or booze screening...
Hell, they couldn't even check for alcohol since its legal. But I actually think that this is plausible.
Ed may well have failed a medical checkup, especially if it included a mental health screen...Comment

Re: Did Ed fail tour insurance med exam?
And you've been a road manager for numerous professional touring acts to know this? Are you a physician? Promoter? Both, maybe?Originally posted by griffin6002

Live Nation pulled the plug because they're smart business men and saw the writing on the wall. They knew that in Eds condition the chances of a total tour melt down was likely and they refused to take that chance - period. Ed probably relized that if he didn't get his shit together real soon than he would never be taken seriously again. Besides he would probably end up dead in the not to distant future.SUPPORT THE BIG RED MACHINE

Very classy.
But not as classy as posting pics of poor, afflicted-looking souls and saying they're pics of posters on this forum when they're not.
Do you go to church where the pastor does meth and gay prostitutes?
Sounds like your style.Comment

Do we all have to put "I think" before every statement we make on here now because of you?
It's implied, Elvis, that forums are for opinions.
None of us are "Van Halen Insiders."
