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

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...

How do you know they haven't?

Remember Dave is leader of this band again. I would not even discount a Cinco de Mayo encounter.....but I will state: No Tequila was served.

Put this show on the road already. One of the greatest shows Ive ever seen was GNR before the illusion albums were released. Its an added bonus to hear brand new tunes BEFORE they are made public.Makes those bucks you pay for tix a bit more reasonable.

[Fairwrning]

Oh..and opening tune will be " Hot for Teacher"

I like how the promoters are letting everyone know it's Van Halen with David Lee Roth. Unlike the US, Australian radio does not play much CVH and a Dave-fronted VH has NEVER played here. There is a strong, core CVH fan base Down Under and a lot of young people who like classic hard rock are discovering the CVH era. But I suspect that most of the general hard rock audience in Australia was not aware that Dave is back. The announcement is already generating a lot of excitement here. I've had friends call me who are not big VH fans to say they are definately going because it's Dave-VH.

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

I would not rule out some live dates in the US before they leave for Australia. Late August-early September? Or is that not possible?

I think the setlist will include 2 or 3 new tunes and 2 or 3 classics not played on the last tour.

Thanks and we will - after a beer or two or three or ten......

Not at all... and you don't put much confidence in what a former, disgruntled employee who took down the company says either.

It's a common management practice... you only allow paid consultants or sub-contractors to publicly represent your company on rare occasions like a special product release. ie... 2007 VH Tour press conference. Beyond that you're shuffled to the back room and paid well to shut up and be amazing at what you do. You don't get to attend core team meetings, social lunches nor the company picnic...

Tell me you've seen anything but that from Roth the last 4 years..?
