Van Halen, Roth to announce tour next week

[jjones]

Meh, saw them several times in their heydays in the early 80's. Great back then, have sucked ever since the split. I'd go if they were giving out free tickets though.

it is supposed to be open by then?
looking out the window, still looks like they have a long way to go
the construction around here sucks, they need to finish it and clean up the streets

Sorry, it has already been determined that this tour will last no more than 10 dates. Your construction setbacks are not threatened.

Can't be any older than Ozzy

At least Ozzy still rocks even if he is approaching 60. I saw him on the rock honors and was very impressed by his stage presence. This goes to show you what giving up drugs can do for ones career.

Van-Halen is a accident waiting to happen with Roth at the helm. At least Sammy made it to the last date of the previous tour before every thing imploded.

IMHO DLR's voice sounded like crap on Me Wise Magic. I'd hate to think how it sounds now. Still, it might be worth it just to hear stuff like Mean Streets again. And anything would be an improvement over Velvet Revolver's performance at the RnRHOF show.

That was about the worst rock performance I had ever seen. I lost a lot of respect for Slash on that one. Scott sounded like shit.

Sammy and Mike were incredible in their performances.

Sweet! Despite me giving them a 20% chance of making it through this tour, it looks like I'm in good shape of seeing them before they self-destruct. Surely they can make it through the very first show of the tour, here in Charlotte. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if David and Eddie got into a fight midway through the set and called it quits.

 

[mrrman]

I wonder how long this will last

Sweet! Tuesday, 11/27/07 Van Halen ARCO Arena Sacramento, CA

I'm so going to be there.

I just hope they will be too.

Now I have to throw this in even though it is not Van-Halen. This was one kick ass performance for the VH1 Rock Honors. Let me introduce Alice And The Redneck Woman In Chains.


One Kick Ass Performance!


Also let me throw in Ozzy's performance at the same event.

Roth actually said pretty recently it would be like a nascar wreak.

As long as the Van Halen's let Dave be Dave the show should work fine.

I think Dave is over the 'Van Halen' name being his issue, they just need to be sure they can handle his drama / showboating which makes David Lee Roth entertaining.

Wow, think they had enough guitarists up there for Barracuda?

Yeah, I'm glad to see Ozzy looks a lot better. As recently as a few years ago he was looking f-ing DECREPIT. Painful to watch. He looks great now though.

Allegedly coming to Portland? Looks like I'll spring for some tickets Saturday and hope for the best Never know?

Sweet, they're coming to the Sprint Center in KC. I am SO going.

For those interested, here are some videos of a rehearsal show they had this weekend. Scott Ian from Anthrax was there and said it was the best rock show he's seen in 10 years, and from the videos, I definitely think it looks like a hell of a show. Dave actually sounds pretty good still.

If you can get tickets. The news had a bit on last night about the management company not selling tickets to the general public but to "brokers" instead.

I don't think I'm going to even try. As much as I like the old stuff, I'm not going to support EVH anymore. Michael Anthony should be on this tour but EVH's ego is to big for that. It's not a reunion.

I just pulled Row Bs right by the stage. Can't pull the trigger for $270 though.

the stupid thing isn't finished, they still have the north/south streets closed and full of construction machines
they finally got 13th street cleared/paved and turned the stop lights back on
the construction around here is taking too long to get done
