VH on Hold

This just in... too good to be true:

Van Halen On HoldUpdated 12:38 PST Tue, Feb 20 2007
It's true. The Van Halen tour that was never officially announced is now officially postponed indefinitely, sources told Pollstar.
The rumored tour took on an air of reality after a trade magazine announced that original singer David Lee Roth was about to sign on the dotted line, and that was soon followed by a press release via Eddie Van Halen’s spokeswoman-slash-girlfriend.
Unfortunately, the worldwide frenzy of a VH reunion was too good to be true, at least for the present day.
However, there was a lot of paper getting inked and Pollstar understands that a tour announcement might not have been far off.

Can't those bitches get their **** together ever? They're worse than the ****ING GO-GOs!

They need more time to recuperate from the plastic surgery. With the exception of Wolfie of course. Or maybe they're just afraid of being outsold/overshadowed by The Police reunion.

Oh, man, isn't this just like them. Why can't they just get it together? I'll bet anything there's some interfighting going on.

VAN HALEN Tour Postponed Indefinitely

Pollstar (www.pollstar.com/) is reporting that the much-hyped VAN HALEN reunion tour with DAVID LEE ROTH has already fallen through and is now "officially postponed indefinitely."

Sources tell the tour magazine that a tour announcement may have not been far off, and just last week, Rolling Stone posted excerpts from an upcoming interview with Roth about the reunion, which is slated for its next issue. The magazine's website also unveiled the first-ever group shot of the current lineup of the band, including Eddie Van Halen, his brother Alex on drums and his son Wolfgang on bass.

Sources also tell Denver's Rocky Mountain News that Van Halen's performance at next month's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony may be in jeopardy too.

Roth told Rolling Stone the band had been rehearsing together again and their chemistry is currently "combustible," though with today's news, it appears that combustion may have actually happened between Roth and the Van Halen family.

Van Halen was expected to do a full, 40 city tour this summer.

----------------------------------------

I wonder, could the rumors be true that a new singer could be touring with Van Halen instead of DLR? If so, let's just say the group will definitely be called Van Halen due to the 4 members last names.

I actually liked the DLR Band INFINITELY more than VH.

If anybody has a "Dead Pool" going, I'd make sure that EVH is on it.

Alex used to be on my "Dead Pool" list, but now Edward's in his place.

Okay, I saved a couple hundred bucks that will go towards more Stevie and Eye Sack shows.

This is really shocking...not! I don't think they will ever get along. And no one's going to get along with Eddie so long as he's on the sauce.

VAN HALEN - More Tour Postponement Details Surface

Pollstar recently reported that the much-hyped VAN HALEN reunion tour with DAVID LEE ROTH has already fallen through and is now "officially postponed indefinitely."

The following update from MelodicRock.com: "There are outlets reporting the tour is off for good, while an "insider" or two are stating that it is still on. The truth lies somewhere between. As previously reported, the tour as it was set to go, is off for now and promoter Live Nation have confirmed this. However, there is extreme confidence that the tour will still go ahead during 2007.

There is also speculation that a push to have Michael Anthony return to the line-up is behind the new problem. That might be a point of contention (I'm sure everyone would love to see Mike return), however it is not the issue behind the current headlines.

The line-up remains the one publicized in recent weeks."

That lineup would be Roth, guitarist Eddie Van Halen, his brother Alex on drums and his son Wolfgang on bass.

Stay tuned for further updates on the situation.

I had a discussion about this over on The Who's message board and what I gathered was the problems werent between DLR and the band but beteween Valerie and EVH... since their kid is only 15 she has a say in this and she doesnt want him going on the road... I also heard talk that she wants to be there on the road with them as a chapperone!! I think I see Michael Anthony in the picture again soon.

since Valerie accompanied Wolfie on the past reunion tour w/Hagar, since Wolfie would come out and play along with his father during EVH's guitar solo.
