Tour Still In Works

There are two possible reasons for the delay:

1)Dave and the Van Halens are still negotiating terms.
2)They want to make some type of big announcement at the upcoming induction ceremony.

In the end, what they are doing (despite the fact it's pissing off the fans) is nothing short of billiant,as it is magnifying the media attention.

And that's saying a lot...

Well, take your eyes off that grate porn your sig!

I don't think Ed is in fighting shape for this tour, period. DLR is a consumate professional and I truly believe he will not step on to a tour bus until Ed has his shit together both Mentally and physically. I am sure The Diamond One did his homework and kept close tabs on the Bore Tour of 2004 and refuses to go on tour with Ed sloshed out of his mind and playing like shit. It is obvious from the recent interview, DLR is doing everything he can to keep Ed's problems out of the limelight.

It may be an understatement to say that that is an understatement...



A roadie may be rolling spEd out on a dolly/gurney after a few shows...

It will be with Michael Anthony on bass and Wolfgang will spell dad on guitar playing along side him most of the night, on a limited number of venues....

Look for things to develop around September-October...

You heard it here first.

I agree with that!

We've been waiting for over 2 decades now. I can handle another few months.

I could picture that. That would be better than no Mike Anthony at all, and his son is probably the only guy Eddie would let play rhythm. Yup that's it! That's why they need the time - so Wolfie can pratice some rhythm! Yeah! Gotta think positive. Turn him down in the mix, Ed doesn't have to kick out his son, the original 4 are there.

To me, VH has always been a Summertime band. It would be a shame if they can't get this tour off the ground during the Summer months.

[perilousepete]

yeah true...i'd love to see them at an ampitheater during a certain hot summer month...plus the seats are always better in ampitheaters imo unless you get lucky and get super good seats at an arena

[Bill Lumbergh]

I don't think it's "over" either, but any kind of BS at this point is enough to turn off the majority of the (rapidly shrinking) fanbase........

So why the fuck did they announce a reunion then?It should have only been announced when they were ready to roll enough of this Fuckin drama already either do it or don't do it. Enough of this bullshit already

[DLRdelight!]

true. they should have announced it when everything was done with so nothing could stop it. but im guessing rrhof will be the day

[vh rides again]

i think they said fuck live nation, and went with another promoter.

[perilousepete]

i just hope it's still promoted well and they play good venues....i'd LOVE to see them play summerfest....if they're coming to milwaukee, that would definitely be the way to do it
