What's the point? The site already says that a tour with David Lee Roth is coming. That's the official stance...has been since they first posted it. Pretty much everything else has been speculation. No one from the band has EVER said there wasn't going to be a tour or they had broken up.

Hey Man !

Im totally with you. In fact Ive posted here that Dave is obviously
still in, because of what is posted there.

But dont you remember when all the original rumours were
flying around a few years back, Brad would always post some
sort of cryptic message in response to the rumours.
In this case, many media outlets are basically saying the
whole thing is fucked. Dunno, just seems to make sense
to me put a little blurb on there to shut the dumbfuck
naysayers up :D

I got ya! Do you mean cryptic as in, "no news is good news," or "I'm just a mushroom...they keep me in the dark and feed me shit?" I certainly remember those things being said. However, I have to cut the guy some slack in that he can only put info out that he is allowed to put out. From the way it looks he gets everything dictated to him by Ed and Al...probably Al more than anyone.

I would say that Van Halen stance is regardless of what you hear from "sources close to the band," they are going to do a tour...with Diamond Dave at the helm. Seems like a few of us have been saying all along.

This posting from Brad is pretty much what you would get from his automated email response as well.


Sounds good to me. We waited this long, I can still wait. Hell the HoF is next monday, hmmmmm maybe I should go to the Waldorf?

I'm hoping they found a way to get Edward into rehab,

That would be work in progress.

More like mission impossible.

The tour is still in the works. Your best bet right now is to consider Van Halen a work in progress.
Additional information will be posted to the website as things develop.

It's simple. The holdup is about money as it always is. Who gets what, bottom line.

And you're damn right they're going to tour AND do an album because they know this is the right opportunity and it's basically the final product they have left to sell and make LARGE GREEN with. That's the only reason it's even happening, because the time and opportunity are there.

Ya, Eddie's a drunken dingbat with alot of problems, but he also knows the music business and the color of money. There are probably 10 different record producers waiting in line to try and get a piece of this action (people you never hear about), not to mention Dave too. After what happened in 96 it's no surprise that Dave's gonna make damn sure he doesn't get screwed.

This is their last chance to make serious cake and they know it. After this one's over anything they do is going to be mediocre moneywise. Oh, they will probably do some really great music on future albums after this one but the Hall of Fame/ reunion ride will only last so long money-wise.

If Eddie sobers/grows up and they keep getting along and doing great albums maybe it'll be another 10 year ride but that's a big maybe. So ya, this might be their last chance.
