i dont even want a gig in europe anymore , i want a decent us venue . MSG or even vegas so I can go on the piss and see them for the first, last and only time and then they can go dog sit and release increasingly obscure cd's till the cows come home .
fuck your fucking framing
Oh and at this gig I would like to meet
Pete's bro cos he is the best poster on here , very funny in a dark sarcastic way. Donniep cos he is class and totally off his head and von cos he is funny and basically its america and seemingly we need someone with a gun to protect us
Well shit, if you make to the States for an MSG show, we'd have to meet up for a Newcastle or ten.
Wonder if Dave is down at Ed's right now, banging on the gate...
Dave: Bozedy biddley bo - Let's get the show on the road!! Lemme in! I'm on heightened alert and I brought the Davesicle!! I'm ready to tour the world until the wheels fall off the bus! Hey, is this speaker thing working?
Ed: Uh...come back, uh, (Al, hey Al - what should I tell this idiot today? Oh, ok) come back on Thursday. Yeah, we'll uh, you know, start working and shit. Tuesday. No, Thursday.
Dave: But this IS Thursday. Come on man, I stayed up half the nite drinkin and I haven't taken my Ritalin in like 3 weeks. I'm ready, ready as ready can be. I'm ready for you - I hope you're ready for me. Open this gate up or I'm gonna jump over it like Superman. I got more energy than Michael Jackson at a children's hospital!
Ed: Yeah, I gotta go now.
Dave: Ok, me and Thunderballz are just gonna run around the block a couple hundred times. Ooh, an ice cream truck!

Sounds pretty legit???? Hope so!
Normally the words 'Van Halen' and 'planning' don't inspire me with much confidence, but this time I have hope....

Jim Koplik said again today that although nothing is definite with Van Halen, they are looking to plan a summer time tour. Just thought I would pass it on.

And now this in the DC area....
You know what they say, where there's Van Halen smoke.....

fyi, I reached out to find out if there is any info on date/place/content for the EVH Smithsonian thing and here is the response I got...
Thank you for your inquiry--we'll be announcing the program early next year, to take place in Washington in mid-February.
At least EVH will be in DC...
WHERE IS THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN? 📢📢📢📡📡📡
My tickets in the mail yet?
I'm hoping they do like last time and surprise us the day after christmas...
I've put the feelers out, but I doubt I'll get any response, other than maybe a Merry Christmas....
Dream on. Only VH would keep a tour a secret. But hey what the hell, why let the fans know ? Release the vaults and call it a day. The drive of the band seems lost/gone. And that was Dave in the old days.I've put the feelers out, but I doubt I'll get any response, other than maybe a Merry Christmas....

They might if it's with Mike
Roth Army Canada
Mike would make no difference at this point except with the diehards. That won't fill a hockey stadium in the big cities. maybe a club that fits 500 people. But hey I'll take it. Better than nothing.
You know what the worst thing about touring with Mike would be? Fucking Hagar talking about it. "Oh yeah, I knew and had to keep a secret. I think it was the right thing to do" and all that shit. I wouldn't be surprised if he took credit for it.

That would give me some time to save up for it ...... oh baby

Y'know, even though the boys never made it to Europe the last time (or the time before), I can't get excited about this. They should stick to putting out new music - if they have the balls to make any. From what I seen of the last tour on youtube (okay, admittedly not the same as being there, I know), the show was stale and boring. Visually boring - I dunno why they don't hire someone in to give them help on visual presentation. If it really is the band spending "18 months" on it, you gotta wonder what they are doing.
Musically, it was boring, too. This is a band that takes zero risks onstage - they stick to the radio hits, tried and tested.
Just put out a new fucking record, or open the archives, FFS.
THINK LIKE THE WAVES
Huh? VH with Mike would easily do 2 relatively packed nights at MSG. A place used for hockey.
Well, in terms of the DC market you've got 3 options:
Jiffy Lube Live - 10,000 reserved, 15,000 lawn
Verizon - 18,000
Patriot Center - 10,000
The two shitholes in MD are 14,000 - 16,000, with MPP shed being largest. Not sure the ratio on reserved/lawn there.
If there's no new material or significant product release, then I'm thinking the shed in VA (JLL) and either dump in MD. Less demoralizing for the band in a shed when they can't see empty space past reserved seating.

I think he was referring to areas that don't have a metropolitan population of 10 million people....
But let's be honest, there were relatively few dates on the last tour that sold out quickly. In fact, the vast majority of dates seats were available right up until showtime.... Still a near sellout if so, but not like back in the day where they sold out in a day or two.....
Don't get me wrong, I'm not comparing it to the Hagarita tour of 2004, where they were literally TARPING OFF ENTIRE ARENA UPPER DECKS.....
But I agree, Mike's inclusion, and regardless of all of the speculation there isn't a shred of evidence or inference that he's anywhere near coming back, would only result in a tad bit of additional interest....
Sure, diehard idiots like us would be all over it, but for the mass concert-going public? Sure, OK, a chance to see (probably for the final time) the original Van Halen lineup again would be cool, but would it really be that drastic a difference? Probably not....
This is precisely why I think they will be doing sheds. It's less obvious to the concert goer and band.
What possible risks could they take..?
There's barely a half dozen Classic VH Dave songs they could perform that they haven't or anyone would want to hear...
What's left? More ADKOT... Covers... A Bass Solo™... The hits from VH III...
"If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”
I have a solution for Eddie: bring in a Spanish Andalusian horse to the 5150 studio and place a mic to its lips. Maybe Wolfie can be "the whisperer." No one will be able to distinguish the horse mutterings from Roth's singing. PRESTO! New VH album.
Future rock star
Well what I meant is he wouldn't bring in any more fans than usual at this point. I'm sure that it would get a few more tix sold but it's not going too have average VH fans running to the box office.Huh? VH with Mike would easily do 2 relatively packed nights at MSG. A place used for hockey.
Hmmm....I hear you but really what could they do ? Both the stages sucked for those tours. 07 looked like they borrowed it from Britney Spears & 2012 was a boring black stage. VH was always a cool visual band so I found that boring. They only have 7 albums of material. 6 of them only run 30 minutes apiece. They have mixed up the set list a little on both tours. I guess the could do a cool version of Big Bad Bill or something ? Lol.
And I'm supposed to be the asshole around here ??
I would say go suck a dick, but that's a given, you future homo social worker...
Yep. And she's the bitch. lol
You really think that fag is a she ??
Good point.
It's an easier mental image to visualize when interacting with your monitor...
Well, take a puff of e-cig poison and knock yourself out...
Well, if that's the case then get on your knees like the good little Christian whore you are. Daddy wants to give you a sermon.
That horse looks half an ass.

There are definitely rumblings online about Mike being back for the tour.. Either way, it's nice to have something band related to talk about.
That'll be the only way I'll pay for another show.
I think those rumors started the day that Chickenshit broke up. But it was Satriani and Chad Smith who got sick of Spammy, not Mike, apparently. Even though Hagar himself has openly admitted that Mikey belongs in Van Halen, Sobolewski apparently cannot remove his head from the Chedmaster's rectum.
I've said this before, but it bears repeating.... Wolfie just needs to tell Eddie "Look dad, I've had a great time playing in your band, but I have a better chance of getting some groupie pussy if I'm not touring with a bunch of 60 year olds, so I'm sticking with Tremonti. Besides, he ain't going back to Creed now that Stapp has completely lost his shit, so we're going to make this band permanent. So you know what you gotta do, dad. Call Uncle Mike and get him back where he belongs, and away from the creepy old guy with the capri pants"
