    IMPORTANT-READ!! Eddie’s Health & VH Tour Collapse?

    IMPORTANT-READ!! - Eddie’s Health & VH Tour Collapse?

    Eddie’s Health
    -----------------
    Hey, what’s the deal on Eddie’s hip replacement surgery he had years back. When this all hit the fan, (and it was damn rare for a guy Eddie’s age) the doctors told him that both the right and left hip ball structure would have to be replaced. They also told him that because of the severity of the surgery/rehab required, they could only operate on one side of the hip the first time….Eddie would have to heal up from the surgery…then go back in for surgery again to have the other side of his hip replaced.

    The doctors told Eddie that because of the severity of upper femur capillary structure loss and resultant femur head bone matrix deterioration in BOTH femurs (from Eddie’s years of smoking, drinking, and probably there was a genetic precursor involved) Eddie could not blow off having both femur heads replaced or he risked be permanently disabled and never walking again.

    Then with this mess going on, EVH’s cancer diagnosis got in the middle of it…chemo & part of his tongue was cut out blah blah….then the damn guy goes back to living in a bottle and smoking 2 packs a day again.

    I have been removed from the “VH Reunion thing” for years, because of Diamond Dave being cut out of the picture, but all I can find is Eddie only had one side of his hip replaced.

    Is this right?....Anybody offer any help on this subject?

    I am posting this for good reason, not chat.

    I just learned what CCC is having to pay for VH Tour promotion stop-loss/show interruption loss/no show insurance……. and the premiums, and deductibles, are f—king out of this world, never been seen before, unheard of!

    No wonder CCC is not advertising/promoting this VH Tour properly, they blew all their dough on up-front retainers to the band, Tour stop-loss insurance, and most music biz insiders don’t think Eddie can physically do this Tour.

    Van Spammy Tour
    ----------------------
    SECONDLY.....I have been really scratching my head (OK my nuts too) as to what the hell is going on with this “Mexican abortion” VH Reunion business and promote (B & P) plan.

    It’s crazy, specially considering that corruption/money-grubbing/ screw you over a dime” CCC knows EXACTLY what to do with NO thought. All CCC had to do was drag out the B & P plan for the 2000 AC/DC Tour, (which was perfect and a massive success for everyone including the fans), and plug it into the VH Tour. The timing, dates, age/success of the 2 bands, and promote between the 2 Tours is almost identical, except for the exact 4 year time difference! (Note: AC/DC is substantially more “life-time” successful however that VH, although IMO they are not musically a better band)

    Of detailed interest:

    1. AC/DC did a 33 Class AA venues 2000 Tour in 2 months (Aug/Sept) or 1.6 road days per concert.
    2. Van Spammy is presently doing a 49 Class AA/A- venue Tour in 4 months or 2.24 road days per show.

    Christ, NOBODY runs a “slack space” Tour like this Van Spammy deal, particularly those greedy and corrupt pricks at CCC and WMG. It will add literally $millions to total VH Tours costs.

    Why???? What do other informed members think is the deal here????......gs

      CCC = Clear Channel Communications, VH promoter and the largest entertainment promoter in the U.S.


      WMG = Warner Music Group, ownes VH's "back catalog" recently bought out by a venture capital group. It's the reason for the Van Spammy Tour. The Van Halen brothers want to tender on their catalog.....going to take a lot of cash.

      Hope that helps..........

        No shit, that makes sense.
        When you think of Van Halen you think of David Lee Roth.

          Interesting post. I'm not really well up on the economics of running a tour but I agree with you on EVH's health. Seems to me he is no way near fit enough for this tour and probably never will be again. Whatever a prick he has been over the years, it's sad to see that someone so talented has destroyed themselves so prematurely. Maybe it's karma for all the shit he's pulled over the years.

                Did he have his hip surgery before VH 3?

                Wasn't that the big excuse as to not touring or doing anything with Roth in '96?

                  There's enough BS in the thread to fertilize Bakersfield... Ed has his hip done in 97.

                      Fertilizing Bakersfield?

                      I like how clowns like you fertilize well intended posts, with your ignorant clueless shit, and then insult other posters that DO (or try to ) know what they are talking about!

                      It was November 1999, not 1997, ahole and Eddie has not had the other side of his hip replacement re:
