Do we? We also thougth it was a go back in 1996, but apparently that was all for the "Best Of" release. I give nothing for these guys to give it to us fans again. Funny how there is another "Best Of" to be released this year? Sound familiar to 1996?

[ELVIS]

No, the tour is offical this year...

There was nothing like that in '96...

[Matt White]

NO QUESTION they'll be playing in DETROIT ROCK CITY......

the question?

HOW MANY SHOWS?!?:cool:

[jgdrag]

How many people does Pine Knob hold?

[vhwithroth2007]

12,000 - 15,000 lawn included.

[Matt White]

I remember seeing ROBERT PLANT there in 1988....NOW AND ZEN tour...

they oversold the lawn....

It was like a huge main floor.....

I have a feeling it's gonna happen again:p

[jgdrag]

If they are only playing outside, it makes sense. I can see a couple of shows, if they sell out

THe question isn't "Will they sell out"....

BUt rather..."How FAST will they sell out?"......which will be in minutes...

NOT 3 months...like the 2004 FLEECE THE SHEEP tour...which DIDN'T SELL OUT....not in DETROIT BABY!!!:rockit2:

[jgdrag]

I remember watching the EEAS tour in Detroit, and the people there went ape shit over the concert. When I saw VH in 1982 at Cobo, it was wicked, pacted to the roof!

No it is NOT 'official'.

This crap is so precarious that there is no guarantee they will even get to the starting line.

Blah Blah Blah, etc., etc., etc.

The only thing that is 'official' is that they say Dave will tour with them this year.

For all we know their could be a riot on the stage at the Hall Of Fame ceremony.

When they actually begin to play shows, THEN, and ONLY THEN will it be official.

:rolleyes:

Point taken.

But its still more 'official' than what was said in '96 ('Van Halen in studio with David Lee Roth').

They will definitely sell out Detroit there will be at least 2 shows hopefully on the weekend

Bro...I'm sorry to say...NO WAY is it gonna be on the weekend....

DETROIT is a STRONG concert town....

Which is why we ALWAYS get the shows in the middle of the week....

Cuz they know the BAD MUTHAS OF MOTOWN will STILL show up......

More inside sources with vague vagueness from vague vaguetty vaguesters.:confused:

[HOGLEG]

My inside source says that I am hungry.

[NathanRay]

I know Call Doug Podell @ Request line - 313-298-WRIF He works afternoon after the morning show. Thats what he said after they played Jamies Cryin' just before his shift ended at about 2:51pm. He said hes got his insiders so it looks in romour world more credability goes to the Val Theory.

[HOGLEG]

To quote John Cleese, "ah what?"

[Matt White]

Hmmm...."Poodle Podell" usually has the inside track...........


Wouldn't that be a kick in the sack...........

[Oxford]

DJ credibility are as valid as we are here.They like to think they are important and think they
are breakin the news to the public first.But we all know it doesn't happen that way.Detroit is a
great city it seems alot of the great bands do have great performances in Motor City.I commend
the city spirits in the way they respect rocknroll.

[Matt White]

Doug Podell has been around for 25+ years.....

I ain't sayin' it's so...........

But...the mutha has "connections"...........

STAY TUNED

[HOGLEG]

DETROIT ROCK CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Matt White]

Exactly, exactly

The only thing I'd like to know is WHY no PR statement to clear the rumors, speculation and saving the morale of the fan base?

[rachel66]

Podell is a granny-twadge. I poured a drink on him for being a furry dick-bucket. I wouldnt trust anything that poop-tard said.
I saw CVH in Detroit in 82 and 84. Best shows that ever happened on Earth. Saw them front row on the FUCK tour and threw cigarettes at Cheese-head the whole time. It Fucking blew.
If the tour is on (IF), they'll come here. I hope they dont play the Knob, I would rather see them on a dark stage with stage lights. Sunlight on Eddie might make me hurl.
