I love Australia.

Holy crap, maybe the predictions are correct, and the world really IS gonna end next Saturday...

Do ye really think Dad and I would end the world before Our children in Australia had the chance to see Van Halen?

Signs of the Apocalypse??

That's true. We agree on 3 things today.

If the dates are in september that means they would start rehearsals at least 60 days in advance that puts it in july so we are looking at new music soon. Somebody somewhere will hear the new music and put it at there .
Setlist anyone

Actually, even in the "good ol' days" it was not completely unusual for a band on the verge of debuting a new release to play a few shows here and there prior to said release. Generates interest at home and abroad...

And the only thing Lady Gag-me has figured out is how to rip off Madonna as a career... just sayin'.

Yeah yeah.

I wouldn't think they would go do this if they didn't think the new album would be complete. What happened to the good old days? Band completes recording, band releases said recording, band announces tour, band goes on tour TO PROMOTE NEW RECORD. Why does everything with this band have to be so fucked up?

Goddamn lady GAGA has it figured out.

Supposedly they started recording in January, so it's entirely possible they could debut some new tunes at these shows...!

I hope there is some new music to go along with this, or it will be a major disappointment for me.

Nah, like we've talked about it other threads, VH has always opened tours in non-major US markets, if not outside the US.... Couple of tours started in Canada....

I imagine the reasoning was that if there were major bugs to be worked out with the shows, word wouldn't get around as quickly as if they opened in, say, Chicago or New York, etc.....

Of course, now with virtually every song in every show being filmed by someone with their phones, they can't get away with very much at all.....

But like VAIN said, I bet we get some great video out of at least one of those Aussie shows.....
