    I can't but think the President of the Rock Hall issued a statement based upon all the ROTH Fan-based Email he has received from us regarding this performance issue ???

      Damage control from the hall.

      Fucking Velvet Revolver can't play "Jump",and Dave, rightfully so, doesn't want to go with YRGM. They've been rehearsing since December?! One fucking song?!?!

      HOUSE BAND????!!!!

      Joke.

      Good for Dave.

          On YRGM? Fuck it. Let 'em.. Not their song or their band.

          It'll be more like Karaoke Idol than a HoF induction.

          Huge joke.

            More I think about it, the less I would have wanted to see Roth perform at the RnRHoF with anyone other than Ed, Al and Mike, anyway.

            The whole point of interest far as Van Halen getting inducted into that bogus institution in the first place wasn't who was refusing to sit at which persons table, or any catty remarks during acceptance speeches, or any non-musical drama.

            It was to see the members of CVH get up and play a tune or two.

            With that option now off the table, the rest of it is meaningless.

              Exactly.

              And let it be known that this is not the first time a rock band did not attend their own induction.

              Also let it be known that this is probably the 1000th time a non rock act has been inducted. Meaningless.

                  So now...We are of the opinion that Dave shouldn't perform with anyone other than Van Halen at HIS hall of fame induction?

                  What...Dave can't sing with anyone else?...or it's not as good?...

                  as if The Sham performing under the name of Van Halen for the past 20 years IS ANYWHERE NEAR BEING ANY GOOD....

                  Roth not performing is a travesty...and who gives a flying fuck if dED or ANY of the fucking others are there...

                  Ed goes to fucking rehab the WEEK BEFORE the hall of fame inductions...

                  No shit...it's about time dED...

                  but THE WEEK BEFORE the inductions?

                  and before you crucify me for being harsh...give me a fucking break.

                  If spED didn't fucking figure out that he's a drunk, drug induced wretch until THE WEEK BEFORE THE HALL OF FAME INDUCTIONS....

                  Christ...

                  no wonder the only people that will hang around him are either legally bound too...

                  or leaches from the PORN INDUSTRY...

                  I wish the best for you nED...

                  but your day is over...

                  long live CVH...

                  not the Sham...

                    Seriously...someone needs to fucking help me understand how this site has become a bunch of fucking spED sympathizers...

                    I don't wish the guy any harm...

                    but seriously...

                    fuck him...

                    He's fucked this band in more ways than any of us can count...

                    and now he's fucking us out of the hall of fame...

                    which most of us have been looking for for years...

                    and we are supposed to be thinking it's GOOD he's not performing...

                    Wow...

                          You want him slobbering all over himself,tripping over shit at the HoF?

                          Yeah it would have been nice if he and Dave could get their collective shits together for this.

                          But you know he hasn't had his shit right for years.

                          The hole giving Dave the option to sing YRGM (only) w/ Velvet Revolver wasn't much of an option, or much of an actual VH SONG.

                          You know, I think I'm not that pissed, because I didn't expect much to begin with.
                          Porn music, drunk off his glutes @ NAMM's, calling his son the next great thing....then wants to jump out and tour when he can barely dress himself.
                          Timing sucks for us, but I think someone pulled him in the right direction just in time-he didn't have much left.
                          And he's shown he doesn't give a flying fuck about embarrassing himself or whatever bandmembers play with him.

                          He's never been completely sober. His grudges and ego are proof of that.

                              I'm with you, man.

                              Ed has a suspicious pattern of the timing of his health "problems":

                              -- Roth is back in 1996, but there's Ed's hip

                              -- Roth is back in 2000, but there's Ed's "cancer"

                              -- Roth is back in 2007, but there's Ed's rehab

                              Funny how despite all these "health problems," Ed was able to put out a record and tour with Gary Cherone in 1998, and tour with Hagar in 2004.

                              And yes, I think this is harsh. But at this point, Ed and Alex Van Halen have ZERO credibility.
