Dave explains Van Halen Tour Dates Postponement

[chi-town324]

in short the troll said Dave was sick..coked up..and not athletic...and that he was the cause of the postponed shows...then went on to say Dave has skinny legs or the wrong clothes...it was pretty comical...but he was a DLR student.. so it has to be true

[ThrillsNSpills]

The bottom line is whenever you have something like this happen it's an open invitation for some "know all see all prophet or phony insider"
to stink up the place and insult peoples' intelligence and prove that daddy didn't pay enough attention to them and now it's the fans responsibility to take up the slack. Then they get their ass handed to them and they vanish only to show up later the next time the band does something different than what was on the program. lather rinse repeat

[ThrillsNSpills]

then andrew picks up on it and runs it like an official story. lol or he used to. Might have picked up on the pattern since, but who knows...

What else more could be added to this thread...some funny shit.

[VH Drummer]

To address something earlier in this thread, Light Up The Sky was on the official setlist for Reading 3/26 and was scrapped at the last minute by Dave and replaced with GGB. The guy who I know is close to the band (which I've discussed in the "Your Worst Nightmare" thread) told me this. Since I talked to him before the show, I also knew ahead of time that Jamie's Cryin' and Blood and Fire were going to be played that night (the first of four shows with those songs).

I do believe however that was the closest we got to hearing it played. Let's hope after the break, Wolf will push hard for setlist changes and LUTS will be a part of it.

I just hope they keep "Hear About It Later" in for "Mean Street" for the rest of the tour. That may be my favorite VH song and since I saw the second show of the tour we got "Mean Street", which was eventually changed the very next show.

[guwapo_rocker]

You cancel 30+ concerts and all is well?

Lou, I was told last night that that was NOT going to happen....do you know something else?

[sadaist]

Dude I can't believe you actually checked his draws......

Only cause Momshell wouldn't shut up about them. Sheesh.

Hate to break it to you Muscles Marinara, but much like most female strippers are lesbians, most bodybuilders have gay tendencies. Not that there's anything wrong with that.....You seem like you have plenty to say which is fine, but I can almost guarantee your one of those tools I always see in the gym spending their whole day there chatting with their beefcake buddies how "sick their pecks look" or...."I would love to have your lats". If you hurry champ, you may be able to catch the Chickenfoot show at your local Park and Ride.....I'm sure your quite familiar with park and Rides....again, not that there's anything wrong with that. I'll keep an eye out for you on ESPN's strongest man competition.

I don't have any info as to the future of the band. But LUTS was really, really close to being played for real at Reading on 3/26/12. It was on the official setlist for the show. Those were the guy's words when I spoke to him a half hour before VH took the stage that night.

I doubt we'll get any different songs played before the end of June. I hope that VHND is correct and that the band does plan to keep the show evolving for the next phase of the tour. I'd love to hear LUTS, As Is, HBSD, Drop Dead Legs and Secrets (recall that Secrets was on that list of songs from the rehearsals that the guy took stealth video and recently posted to YouTube).

[chi-town324]

hopefully at some point they break out LUTS...wolfie...make it happen !

[fourthcoming]

Would love to see As IS, HBSD, Light Up The Sky, Bullethead, In A Simple Rhyme,Fools, D.O.A...... so many tunes to choose from......would love to see them go back to the old practice of leaving the stage and coming back for the encore playing that little diddy at the end of WACF and then launching into something more kick ass then Jump.

[vaijuju]

nobody won't cry if they decided to not play the covers You really Got me, Ice cream and pretty woman! i hope a day they'll play stay frosty ... but they have so many untouchable songs in their set list !

[TwoFoolsAMinute]

I want a SGMAD jam. A cool cvh story before ICM and a verse or two of Stay Frosty added in. I want something unexpected to happen. I think it's cool that they do a little swapping of songs, but still, these shows have been cookie cutter shows. I want a South America 1983 VH show. But, what's happening in the shows now is still very good. Just a wish list. Drop Dead Legs, LUTS, As Is, and Take Your Whiskey Home would be killer.
