The big C with no ancer?

Fuck just found out Patrick Swayze has about 35 days to live. Not that I am a fan, just surprised how pancreatic cancer can sneak up on you like that. That shit fucks you up quick.

Hope it is just fatique or some shit.

We will never get Dave & Eddie to Australia on the same stage at this rate.

TOUR PUSHED BACK UNTIL APRIL 19

Van Halen Putting Tour On Hold For A Month

March 10, 2008, 5:25 PM ET

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
After postponing a handful of dates last week in order for guitarist Eddie Van Halen to undergo tests for an unspecified medical condition, Van Halen is postponing all tour activity until April 19.

Seventeen shows are affected, beginning tomorrow night (March 11) in Charlottesville, Va., and running through April 15 in Baltimore.

According to organizers, Van Halen, who has battled cancer and substance abuse, "is currently under doctors' care" and will "continue medical tests to define a course of treatment." No further details were made available.

Fans are being asked to keep their tickets, which will be honored at makeup dates to be announced.

Van Halen returned to the road last fall with original lead singer David Lee Roth for the first time in 20-plus years. The tour, which features Eddie Van Halen's teenage son Wolfgang on bass, has routinely sold out North American arenas.

now...what are the odds this show will move to a weekend date?!?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Will edit thread titles.....

[thome]

In one of the other -closed threads- I touched on my selfish.............. ass-holed-ness in wich I explaind I felt that Ticket Bastard is reschedualing and not cancelling in a continual watershed.....in line with the dates...... as to have no one refund, so they can all earn money off your tickets MONEY.

Ed, Good luck with your issue whatever it may be.

This tour is done.

I could be wrong, I hope I am.

But.... the Kont in me say's it was decided over a week ago and you all will be strung along with your wallet in hand.

You cannot ask for a refund a certain amnt of days before and you won't be offered one till the last moment.

Of course I could just be a Kont!


My first post in this thread said fukk a tour if costs Ed too much.

The rest is just the bankers.

[Matt White]

doesn't matter....most of us went out & checked out the show on the 1st leg.....

"LOOSERS WEEPERS" MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

[thome]

No Way ...Venues..... Cities.... are going to allow three cancellation situations on a sold out tour and get screwed a fourth time.

They will however make a deal to keep it quiet to earn interest off the poor sukkers *cough* fans *cough*.

I hope I'm the wrongest bastard .

I'm in a bad mood anyway .

Mrasssle frrassle massle grassle grrrrrrr.....

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I agree Thome...

Too much money to be lost if it were to be cancelled alltogether, unless Ed's really fucked up....

[David Lee Rocks]

quess Im lucky I got to see em 3 times, once on the first leg In Kansas City, second leg Oklahoma City and Dallas, im still bummed, im hopin they make that second Dallas show April 24th, but im losing hope

I can see and have seen tons of pain in Ed's eyes I don't know where it comes from ,but this anger we have seen is ....to me.... a symptom of great pain.

I have no real knowlege... just a sympathetic eye.

He could very well be sick, and not just having a relapse of alcoholism...the show I went to, the guy looked weak at times...I dunno.

[DLR'sCock]

It was the pairing of my two favorite bands of when I was 16 right here at home.
