Van Halen tour cancelled, says Rolling Stone

[MIB41]

Did we really think it would last?

Rolling Stone : The Official Word: Van Halen Tour Kaput

[toys2cool]

Really? wow that sucks,although it doesn't surprise me one bit

[theantiquetiger]

So what, I liked Haggar better (even though my first concert was "1984"). Now with the untalented Roth and no Michael, it is not Van Halen. I would rather see Eddie live solo.

Come on man, That article is from 2/21/07. Try posting something recent and not fueling internet rumors. Eddie's sick.http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdail...medical-tests/

Maybe your definition of "talent" is based off some kinda AMERICAN IDOL type
sterileness? I dunno----but thems' some pretty big words to say about the man
that along with Ed helped lead VH thru 6 multi-platinum albums and established a
band so that Hagar could have something to build his "older & safer" VH off of
----oh yeah---Roth also helped VH establish---not only the band----but basically
created the whole party hard rock genre...

Hagar (one "g") era VH might as well be 80s Journey or Bad English
or some other vanilla middle of the road schlock---and while that may be
passable music in some circles (hey I love me some "Open Arms") --- its like
nails on a chalkboard for the fans of the ROTH lineup(s) who appreciate the
VAN HALEN band for the vibe it was built on which was 97% Roth, 97% Ed
and two percent the other guys (fawning over Mikey's angellic backing vox
withstanding----take it down a notch already---its just some high backing
vocals for cripes' sake)

If Roth ever exits VH again it'll be one of the worst travesties in rock history
just as it was the few times before (if you count 1996 and the times in the
early 2000s when they tried to make it work)

Loving "Hagar VH" and hating "Roth VH" is like loving an apple tree for this
seasons' leaves and hating the apples----you can do that---it just doesn't
make much sense

Oh---and---by the way---

I agree---Internet misinformation is a bad thing.

I've heard this may be cancelled too---but as fas as I know---there's no
confirmation yet

Rock on kids.

How long did it take you to copy and paste that from somewhere off the internet.

"Roth also helped VH establish---not only the band----but basically

TRY KISS, AREOSMITH, and a couple other bands. VH's first "party" album was 1984, before that, they were just a great band, but no "founding fathers" of a music genre.

Thank you for beating me to the punch. I was getting ready to rip into this guy until I saw how you handled it.

For someone to say they liked the Hagar lineup over David Lee Roth's version is like saying you'd rather listen to a Monkees record over The Beatles.

Don't remember what movie it was from, but that's the test to determine if someone is a narc. Ask them if they like Hagar or Roth better, the narc goes with whitebread Van Hagar everytime. Its like saying you like Wings better than the Beatles.

I can't resist...

Airheads (1994)

Chazz: Okay, lemme ask you a question: who's side did you take in
the big David Lee Roth-Van Halen split?

Chris Moore: What?

Marcus: What kind of question is that?

Chazz: Who's side did you take: Halen or Roth?

Chris Moore: ...Van Halen

Ian: HE'S A COP!

Seriously though...regardless of any fruits borne from Hagar's alliance
with Eddie...what the Van Hagar-era did to neuter
THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN ranks as one of the greatest rock and roll
sins of all-time.

Van Halen was cool when Roth was the lead man......
After him, they seemed like any other forgettable 80's band.

Remember the old rumours when Roth left and they were thinking about getting Patti Smyth to replace him ?
At least THAT would have been interesting
