Van Halen Tour may not happen at all...

Ahh well, so much for that. At least there's still La Policia.

He does, indeed. He's the only one who doesn't look like a cadaver.

That's really interesting. I can't say I plan to see them in concert, even though I've been on a rock-n-roll 80's kick lately.... I wonder what kind of people would show up at their concerts?!?!

The Police are coming near Knoxville Tenn at the Boonoroo Festival or something and I'm thinking of going... I missed them on the Grammy's though. :-(

Wow, thanks for the link Don Andrew. Will it just start playing? Or do I need to click on something. I've never been to the You Tube.

I just heard on Rock 101.5 today that they are NOT going to be touring and NOT going to putting out a new album. Also, I heard that Sammy Hagar and Michael Van Halen are forming a new group or something. Interesting.........

Eddie Van Halen enters rehab
By Dean GoodmanThu Mar 8, 10:49 PM ET

Eddie Van Halen said on Thursday he would enter rehab "to work on myself," a move that appears to rule out a reunion by his troubled band when it is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next week.

The announcement came a month after he and former Van Halen singer David Lee Roth, his longtime antagonist, said they would tour North America in the summer. Within weeks, speculation arose the plans had run aground.

The Dutch-born Van Halen, 52, who has long battled alcoholism and survived a bout with tongue cancer, said in an open letter to fans he wanted to do right by them.

"I have always and will always feel a responsibility to give you my best. At the moment I do not feel that I can give you my best. That's why I have decided to enter a rehabilitation facility to work on myself, so that in the future I can deliver the 110 percent that I feel I owe you and want to give you."

He added: "Some of the issues surrounding the 2007 Van Halen tour are within my ability to change and some are not. As far as my rehab is concerned, it is within my ability to change and change for the better."

The letter was released by his spokeswoman and girlfriend, Janie Liszewski, who did not respond to requests for further information.

The band, famed for such '80s hits as "Panama" and "Hot for Teacher," is scheduled to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in New York on Monday. The appearance had aroused speculation, given the hostility between Van Halen and Roth, who quit in the mid-'80s, and also between Van Halen and Roth's successor, Sammy Hagar, who was ousted a decade later.

The band, which has not released an album in nine years, parted ways recently with bass player Michael Anthony, and Van Halen installed his 15-year-old son, Wolfgang. The lineup is rounded out by Van Halen's brother, drummer Alex Van Halen.

In a 1995 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Eddie Van Halen said he had entered rehab twice. He recalled his only drunken-driving arrest came after he had left an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, appalled by everyone's sob story, and stopped at a bar for a few shots.

"I always got hammered to be able to cope," he told the magazine. "I have zero social skills and I don't know how to act, so I get drunk. And then I make a real ass out of myself."

The Police reunion will do great business this summer.

But anyway, you know what true reunion tour would outgross the Police and the aborted Van Halen(if it had gone forward) tours combined?

Pink Floyd.

Well, sure.

It's amazing how many people are flocking to the shows this summer. The Miami show sold out in under an hour. Every show so far has sold out.

I've always been a big Van Halen fan. Of both the Roth and Hagar eras. Though I lean towards Roth. I even liked some of the stuff on Van Halen 3. But I listened to their latest stuff online. Meh.

Eddie must be extremely difficult to work with. How else does a famous band go through three lead singers? Then original bassist Michael Anthony was fired and replaced by EVH's teenage son. Are you kidding me?

Roth is at best a Vegas act now.

I blame this on Adam Sandler's ex-girlfriend in "The Wedding Singer". He warned her to take off his Van Halen T-Shirt when they broke up fearing she would jinx the band,,, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! They were one of my favorite bands back in the day. Pre-Hagar that is.

In his book Hagar speaks of the Van Halen brothers being very jealous of his outside business interests to the point where they would instruct managers to prevent or intercept any questions to Hagar. He says the brothers fought each other a lot too and would, when they didn't want anyone to know what they were fighting about, just curse each other out in Dutch.

In Hagar's account Eddie is very controlling and way too sensitive and something of a passive-aggressive personality.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

Everybody seems to have a pop at Sammy Hagar being in VH, yet i always quite liked him. I know he was no prime DLR but he had a good voice and a sense of humour, something the Van Halen boys seem to lack!!

Hagar had better vocal range and could play guitar, unlike DLR. Roth's greatest asset was not his voice, but rather his persona and ability to put his stamp on a song (Ice Cream Man, Everybody Wants Some, Unchained, Panama). While Hagar was a better musical fit, DLR had that indefinable "it" factor. Dave's live stage presence was one of rock's best.

Michael Anthony, Sammy Hagar, and DLR have all said at one time or another that it's next to impossible to deal with both Van Halen brothers.
