My source...the real reason the tour has been postponed

[Terry]

Okay, fine, so Valerie doesn't want Wolfie to go on tour.

So Wolfie stays home and either Mike Anthony or Billy Sheehan is given a call, and let's get this show on the road.

Val may not want this to happen with Wolf, but to put the kibosh on the whole thing? I don't think so.
Wolf is 16 next month, right? He can be emancipated & do it anyway if he wants. Plus, he would be waayy pissed at his ma for trying to treat him like a little baby.
If it is true, the 'postponement' is probably til Wolf's b-day next month, at which point he would be emancipated.

Its not like hes 3, and she has to watch out for him! He certainly looks like he can hold his own.

She's had her share of show-bizness, no doubt. If Valerie really is the one putting the ky-bosh on this deal, the baggage is there. Put yourself in her shoes. Long gone are the days of watching Mackenzie Phillips snorting coke off Bonnie Franklin's tits....those were kinder, gentler times. No mass-media, no publicity machines gone awry.

For all we know, Della Reese could be fillin' her head full of hobgoblins. "Val, you don't want Wolfie to end up like Britney....kids nowadays ain't prepared fo dat kinda stuff. How you think he'll look with his head shaved? UH-huh....girl, you better re-think the sityouayshon..."

She don't want him bangin groupies like dad did when they were married. The show must go on Val............

1. Because the promotion of the tour would/could/should lead to record sales.

and

2. Because it isn't necessary to put out another "Best Of"

I seem to remember reading an interview with Eddie shortly after BOV1 came out. He was asked when there would be a "Best of Volume 2" and he said then it was ready to go. Any word on what happened?

Maybe this is the POSTPONEMENT factor. A few months until he can do that, then a tour.

It's NOT about Dave being "back in Van Halen"

It's like you calling me up and going "Mate!!, I just bought a '52 Gibby ES-335!!! "

ES-335's weren't made until '58.

Amazing how a guitar can sound so cool and yet look SO gay simultaneously....


...this from the TOTAL Strataholic guy...

[Van Hayride]

So,waiting over 20 years comes down to waiting for a 15 year old's school to finish. I am really curious whether this "lineup" can actually make a listenable recording. It would be amazing if they could, we may never know.............

Bullshit why should Ed give in to Cunt Face? She took him for half of what he is worth.Ed may be alot of things but I doubt very much he is a bad Father and would not let harm come to his kid.Remember the vid of Ed chasin Fat sam across the stage when him and Antony were messin with him?

:D

Anyway, I guess its all speculation at this point. And truthfully, isnt that what we all do best?? Fuck, we've all been speculating away for years now...!! :D
But I always love a thread by Munson, Roy Munson. Especially when FORD, GS and Mark pipe up...

LISA !

Great to see ya treading the boards again !
SusieQ was wondering where you had got too
aswell.

Susie, look here's one accounted for :D
