That can't be right. I have them booked to play my back yard for my b-day on that date.
My karma just ran over your dogma.
Thanks to Dave's stellar performance following the debut of ADKOT...Originally Posted by Zing!
Daves voice wasn't great this tour. Thank you captain obvious.

We should have changed the locks...I heard you left the building?
Since Dave just did a "thank you" video for the tour, I'd get the idea the tour is over. Of course, I didn't listen to the video. Anyone can chime in here.
Oh dear.
It was Dave smilin', shaking hands and giving hugs with Happy Trails & Just A Gigolo playing. Not a Van Halen in sight. Good shot of Steven Tyler giving Dave a big hug. Really wonder what's next for these guys.
Bridge pretty much summed it up. If the video didn't put up a graphic saying "Thanks for a great tour" at the very end....it would have simply been a DLR promotional video. Honestly...up until the last 5 or 6 seconds, it could have been mistaken for any of the other videos that Dave has flung at us over the last couple of years.
No concert footage, no appearances by anybody with the last name "Van Halen." Plenty of pics and videos of hugs and handshakes all around from Dave....but none of them with Ed, Alex, or Wolf.
What does it all mean? Who knows...I'm worn out with speculating about Van Halen. Que sera....

Exhausting, isn't it?
Oh, and after one more viewing, I caught Al and Wolf for 1 second at the Cafe Wha? show.
Y'know...it really is! It is mentally taxing to be devoted to this band. Hardcore CVH fans are undoubtedly the most devoted fans in rock for all of the shit they put us through. The speculation, the guessing games, the on again/off again tours, etc... Granted, we put a lot of this on ourselves because we're fucking nuts...but it is almost a full-time job to be a CVH fan.
Now that this chapter in VH history is in the books, I feel relieved. I actually caught myself taking a deep breath after watching that video....it was like the end of a marathon where you collapse at the finish line.
I know one thing. I can't do it again. Whatever happens in VH-land...I'll wait for it to come to me. I can't actively seek it out like I've been doing almost non-stop since 2005. I got what I came for in ADKOT and the subsequent tour(s). Honestly, it was more than I ever thought was possible. I believe that just below the surface the old wounds are still bleeding and the band is still fractured with DLR on one side and the VH brothers on the other.
If there was going to be a "thank you" video about the tour, it should have come from the whole band. The fact that it came from Dave himself and prominently featured his solo work speaks volumes about the state of the band, in my worthless opinion.
It should have been all four of them, set to "Blood and Fire." But instead, Al and Wolf are off the radar, Ed's doing photo shoots in Elvis glasses, and Dave is being Dave.
As for that, I think that was purely because the venue was so small that they had no choice but to have Al and Wolf in the same frame with Dave.
I have a sneaking suspicion that we are heading back into the dormant days where the official VH website collects dust while Dave continues his "Roth Show" on his own site.
But it was an awesome fucking ride!!
I think Tyler told Dave "hey, if you want to be a judge on American Idol I can hook you up."
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
^^^This. I've been feeling this way too recently. The band not's the only only one that's getting old! I almost started a thread the other day. I'm done with =VH=...but not in a bad way. I just have closure. Although I missed out this tour, I was fortunate to catch them early in the 07 before Ed "screwed up". And then there was ADKOT. The perfect bookend for the 6 pack. Finally, after all these years, I am content.

Agree 100% Dutch, especially regarding 'them coming to us' with whatever may lie ahead with them.
What I look forward to most right now with regards to the band is the Van Halen Rising book that is in the works. The author, from what I can tell, is putting forth a tremendous amount of effort towards the cause of unearthing all of the minute details that led to the phenomenon known as the mighty Van Halen.
Fuck reading Dutch's post which was excellent by the way , and watching the Dave thanks vid makes me feel like something has finished .
It's like one of those funerals that isn't all miserable and sad it's all fuck what a great guy van halen was here's to van halen lets all go to the boozer from the funeral and get shit faced and see him off in style .
Maybe were all getting a bit older and busier to wait another 25 years maybe its thanks for adkot now get this fucking vault open and let all take a trip down memory lane together .
fuck your fucking framing
Not to delve into speculation again (especially after I just swore it off), but this shit is like crack to me....
"Happy Trails" and "Just a Gigolo" together sounds very much like "Goodbye Van Halen brothers" and "I'm on my own again."
The drama (albeit manufactured or real) never stops....
Crack is right!!! WTF does THIS mean?

Maybe the contract is up?
See everyone at Dave's next solo show at the HOB Cleveland!
Watching it both yesterday and today made me feel like I was watching a biographic, preemptive obituary...
Something clearly has ended...
"If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”
Somebody call Brian! Dave's gonna need a guitar player!
Honestly, I wouldn't mind a few solo shows.
American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.
That didn't take long, did it? Who are we kidding? We're fucked. The soundtrack to every present day riddle of this band's fate is the last minute or so of As Is. Mysterious and fading out into God only knows where.
Me neither, minus any VH songs. Solo material and cover tunes? Sign me up.
So, I'm not the only one...
It means Dave really, really likes guns. Especially sniper rifles.
Toshi, too...
One of ghe FB responses to this image was someone saying that they hope this means Dave is a Republican like Sammy. WTF is wrong with people?
Ray's busy. Maybe Josh Freese can squeeze in a tour?
Now, we gotta get him a bass player. There is this one guy, he's good and he knows all the VH songs....I think his name is Mike or something like that...
That's boring. Put on your critical thinking cap and do a critical analysis of the text as well as the picture.
He walked out the door, he leans against the building Jay and Silent Bob style selling conspiracy theories to the non believers. He gives Sesh a baggy of legal non Government weed to keep him from giving him a ticket for loitering.I heard you left the building?
If the past 30 years is anything to go by, I'm guessing it will involve sitting around with their dicks in their hands......
The Power Of The Riff Compels Me
I really hope we get some new music in the coming year.
That said, I'm not counting on it. More wasted time, more likely.
And time's running out...
No, you're not.
Damn, Shoes! Not you too!!!
Ed has to have some time to mull over all of the vault with wolf.Maybe then new tunes?
What other reason for the "thank you" video?
Over 30 songs were demo'd for ADKOT. If they're all on good terms with each other, they'd be fools to not follow it up. I know. Look who were talking about.
They seemed to be in Oshkosh and other shows.I think more overseas shows are being planned.
WTF is this I just stumbled across? They're a bit confused between Australia and Austria, and there's a fuck of a lot of grammatical errors. Weird...
