Dave explains Van Halen Tour Dates Postponement

[chi-town324]

why would they postpone 31 dates to play one gig at the Olympics? Makes no sense

[Angel]

Don't get me started on Freud - next we'll be discussing the oral and anal stages of development!!

Well, 1/2 the posters here are still in that stage...you could earn enough for those European dates...if they're true, lol.

Freud comes into play every single class I take...bastard...we need more Horney

If any information is going to get passed onto fan sites, it's gonna be the main three....

It sure as hell ain't gonna be that other one, sheesh....

They wouldn't......

[Light Em' Up!]

On a serious note, I'm not going to get too worked up about this whole thing yet. Won't believe anything I hear or read until we hear it from official sources.

You know what, you are right. It doesn't matter how worked up I get about this, it isn't going to change it. Just hope everyone is healthy and that they will add back the dates and more....thanks for bringing me back to reality JenniferM....

[Sensible Shoes]

I GOT IT FIGURED OUT!!!!

Kymani Marley can't tour and they need to find a replacement before they can confirm the dates!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I LIKE this one.

Maybe I should send his father back up there for the summer?

Dave has a dog show to go to in London in July?

[JenniferM]

The mention of oral and anal got me to focus.....
I just try to think positive as much as I can. I think we all have enough drama in our lives to get too worked up over this until we hear something official. Then, if it's bad, I will go ahead and have that nervous breakdown that I've been putting off........

I find it odd to "postpone" that many dates. Especially ones as far out as September.

So, we are supposed to believe they are going to start rescheduling these dates after September?

If they'd just sell me an official Blu-Ray version of some of the old shows like the US Festival and Oakland, I could just stop caring what the fuck they do from this day forward.

so, the score right now for Baltimore over the last 2 tours is: 3 postponements, 1 actual show performed..... it'll be interesting to see what the real reason(s) for the postponement/cancellation is, but I have a hard time buying the European tour angle..... those things don't just come together at the drop of a hat, and has been pointed out, they only JUST announced the new U.S. dates only a month ago.... and personally, if the reason comes down to either a serious health issue for one of the band members OR band infighting, I'd rather have it be the latter..... Cancer isn't anything to fuck around with, no matter what type it is..... which is why I kinda doubt the "Eddie's cancer has returned" scenario..... admittedly I'm no Doctor, but I can't imagine one telling EVH that his cancer has returned but he can wait another 1 1/2 months to actually treat it, that just doesn't make sense to me..... I guess (maybe) we'll see.....

I didn't want to mention this but it would be feasible to do 6-8 weeks of chemo while on tour and do radiation afterward.

[Sensible Shoes]

Fuck it. I'm just drinking until they come to some solution. Until then, Fuck 'em. Maybe we'll just do Cleveland without them. Somebody get the punks to perform on that night, and maybe we won't notice.
