CANCELLED: Van Halen - Live at the Soundwave Revolution - Australia 2011

[Hardrock69]

And so it begins. And no fucking word at all from Howdy Doody Mountain.

Alice Cooper is here in Gnashville right now. Rehearsing, but for what I do not know. Friend of mine has been present at his rehearsals.

Thanks SPED, for not giving a fuck about your fans enough to say anything publicly about Van Halen's upcoming activities!

im guessing start touring in sept , perhaps drop the album round christmas ? anyway great news !!!

There's no new music...

I suspect the fact that Eddie poked his head out of his Howdy Doody Mountain hidey hole long enough to wish Al a public "Happy Birthday" (and then a followup to thank the fellow well wishers), combined with this news release of the Aussie tour, means that the album release is likely on the horizon. I would be very surprised if it wasn't in the stores before they hit the stage in Brisbane.

Logically*, one would expect they would head to Japan after Australia, so expect to see those dates added soon. If I were running the show, I'd take a break after that for the holidays, do a few summer shows in the Southern Hemisphere in early 2012, and then a major outdoor ampitheater tour of North America & Europe in the summer of 2012.

Not another winter tour here, for the love of God! I damn near killed myself getting to the last show, driving in the worst rainstorm of the decade.







* yes, I realize that thinking logically when it comes to Van Halen is an exercize in futility, but I remain cautiously optimistic that they might do it just this once.

It'd be pretty funny if Satchel played "Eruption" note-for-note (as he can and does on occasion) that night...

Dave's first festival tour with VH since 84 (UK) Monsters of Rock.

Wow.

Didn't think they were going to do any festivals.
