Hope Eddie´s recovery really works.
I´ve got a question, What about the concert dates in Europe?
When the tour began one of the first serious rumours was a tour over Europe. Some days later the european tour was cancel... and till now.
Please if anyone knows a little ray of hope for the european fans...
What concert dates in Europe ??
fuck your fucking framing
Whew, I read this thread title and I thought Van Halen was gonna tour with the band Europe!

I think 2013 will be a huge year for Van Halen. Eddie is on the mend, Wolfie has been keeping his chops up, and Dave has been meditating with monks. It's all coming together.
(And Alex has been writing monthly alimony checks)
Frankly, I think any "rumors" of VH coming to Europe originated with European fans....
I know I never heard or read anything remotely close to VH coming to Europe....

I read this from Melodicrock.com. Here´s the link:
http://www.melodicrock.com/news2011.html
It´s in "Wednesday, October 12, 2011" page. Remember that Melodicrock talk about this supposed tour.
Maybe the next year...
melodicrock sucks dick ........mans a total ambulance chaser .
And i think va is right us european fans generated a vh tour in our heads.
At one point we convcinced ourselves they were opening the olympics in london because alex's son was mabye going to qualify and that was it the rumour mill spiralled out of control.
I have been searching for any info regarding Europe with a magnifying glass, I never found anything that indicates that they'll come here.
The heart is on the left. The blood is red.
Europe might be touring Europe before VH does...they need to do another album then do Canada and US before getting sick again and cancel any other plans their tour manager has for them...I think the problem might be with the M&Ms
Now who`s that babe with the fab-u-lous shad-ow?
Europe ARE touring Europe as we speak ;-)
There you go...I use to like Europe decent band
I love Europe. They are even better these days then back in the 80:ies.
Well, this was Melodicrock news. Not mine.
Obviously they´ll be touring Europe sooner or later, it´s only a matter of time.
Rumors in Europe :
VAN HALEN CANCEL PLANNED EUROPEAN TOUR DATES :
Van Halen have cancelled their planned 2012 Summer Tour of Europe before the dates were even announced. But because planning was so far along for the tour - the dates and venues were already locked in. But there has been no reason given to promoters for the cancellation. Simply that it was not going to go ahead.
The cancelled dates were:
May 28 Paris bercy
May 30 Zuerich Hallenstadion
June 1 Barcelona Pala Jordi
June 3 Milano Arena Fiera
June 5 Dortmund Westfalenhalle
June 7 Sweden Rock Solvesborg
June 10 Download Festival Donnington
June 13 Stuttgart Schleyerhalle
June 15 Hellfest Clisson France
June 17 Fields Of Rock Festival Holland
June 19 Berlin O2 Arena
June 21 Prag
June 23 Grasspop Metal Meeting Belgium
That's it for now... but stay tuned as always

A shitty festival-tour? It's good that they cancelled.
ooh in fantasy vh land ( you know the usual stuff between the infrequent tours) I wonder how many of them i could have got to . Defo download and am sure I could have hit a couple of others with a bit of planning.
I wouldn't be so sure. The amount of people that buy tickets in US and arenas they play in US is impossible task in Europe.
By obviously you mean vacationing in Europe, right?
Better than no shitty festival tour ... oh there was no shitty tour
Nothing is better then shitty :-)Better than no shitty festival tour ... oh there was no shitty tour
i could have put up with vh spanking download .... would have been epic
I once read an interview where Eddie was saying he doesn`t go out much...I guess he didn`t lie about that. Other than a couple of tours when they were at their prime, the Van Halens are a pretty sedentary breed...
I personaly prefer a normal concert than a festival but the source tlaks about 5 festivals and 8 regular concerts, not bad at all.
Yeah, but in my country it's just one festival. In the south, in the mud, in the middle of nowhere. I'm not a festival person :-/

I did attend the mud festival (Woodstock) back in 1994... not a fan anymore...
I saw dave at donnington 1988 ....
I think you guys should know by now: If and when VH tours Europe, we here will be one of the FIRST to know, not some Hagarita in Tasmania.....
I did attend many festivals years ago. What can i say. The problem isn´t the location, the big problems are the small length of some concerts, That you have to see many bands the same day (I prefer to see one or two bands and enjoy the total experience), usually sounds worse than normal concerts, another problem is the controls to access the festival (queue and queue for anything), something as easy to go to the bathroom would be an epic adventure...
That is the point, everything is so difficult. You can't just take a shower, eat properly at a table, you have to have sex in the mud...
When I see bands I wanna be at home during the day and shower, put make-up on, look fantastic, have some sort of ticket that guarantees the front row and I'm happy.
Guaranteed front row, your majesty? Seems like you'd be the difficult one to take out.
Tell you what, I'll meet you at the show back in the nosebleeds and we can sneak around the back of the food tent, smoke a joint and make out, laugh a little and enjoy the music, then rent a cheap bed and shower after the show if you still ain't tired, and you can leave your face on the pillow for the maid to clean up in the morning.

You couldn't be more wrong. You are talking to a girl that loves Yngwie concerts and those are all about filth and violence. It maybe came out wrong. There are tickets that you can buy and they let you in earlier.
I just don't like festivals.

I was at an Yngwie show in Mobile at the Municipal Auditorium in the late 80's and you coun\ld literally walk right up to the front row...if there even was a front row...
With the proper technique this should not be a problem...
What's with all the shower talk? Most Europeans only shower once a week whether they need it or not... One can usually smell them approaching 20 meters away on any given Wednesday...
BTW... What has Europe done for VH lately?
"If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”
Brave statement considering which stereotypes Americans are labled with ;-)
Are you kidding??? Lucky you!!! Everytime I see Yngwie I count on being beaten black and blue when in front row. And I am not exaggerating, I have big troubles getting out of bed couple of days after. It's mad over here.
Exactly, like referring to the Middle Ages, a time when the American nation didn't even exist yet. :p
What can Europe do for VH?... :confused:
The last time they came was in 1984.
Maybe it was something y'all said... or they spared you the Hagar/Cherone years... be thankful!!
