Van Halen Japanese Tour Dates

[Halen High]

I would like to see them add a couple more tracks from ADKOT, but it's likely they won't add but replace instead. You and Your Blues and As Is would be great and I think HBSD would appeal to younger fans in Japan.

If Dave, Eddie, Alex & Wolfie don't quit skipping European stages next year, I'll fuck their girlfriends !!!!

Woot!

Ed must be feeling good. I hope Dave has better luck with his voice this time out.

I feel like they all got sick right smack at the start of the tour and passed it back & forth to each other. I noticed a lot of nose blowing going on at the shows I was at.

Yep - same here - and the MN show was well into the tour. Ed was blowing his nose and Dave was hacking up loogies and sucking on lemons.

Ideally, what VH should do before going to Japan, is do one of those residency tours in Las Vegas.

That way they could get warmed up, without having to travel with an expensive production. They could do a different set list nightly, and have a cool stage like the friends & family show at Henson Studios Feb, 1, 2012. Then also spice up the show with some snazzy visuals, such as those dancing girls and whatnot.

So far, Motley Crue and Guns & Roses have done well with their residencys, and Def Leppard is also scheduled to do one as well. ( not that I care about those acts too much, just an example of a good idea ).

In the old days, they would be blowing their noses in the other direction.

a friend of mine who lives in Tokyo told me what Dave talked on this show.

"we played at gymnasium when we visited Japan first in 1978 but we are supposed to play at a big stadium on the upcoming tour".

"I haven't been sleeping since '80s"

"I came here with bicycle today"

"the culture of Shitamachi(a Japanese word that means downtown) is great. Van Halen is like Shitamachi"

"I wanna appear on Takeshi Kitano's movie"

"Hey John(show host), take a holiday and let me work here instead of you"
