Van Halen tour dates-here!

[bull]

Eddie can't hold it together that long. If they manage to play 75% of those dates I'll be surprised, especially if it actually sounds decent.

I hate to say I told you so, but, I told you so...

Rockers Van Halen have abruptly cancelled all tour dates after their June 26 show in New Orleans – offering no explanation as yet to fans.

The band had more than 30 dates planned around the US in support of their comeback album 'A Different Kind of Truth', which was released in February. The album was the first with original frontman David Lee Roth since 1984's '1984' and the group's first studio album since 1998.

A source told Rolling Stone that Van Halen's members currently "hate each other," before adding " The band is arguing like mad. They are fighting."

And my city was canceled, of course I had great seats too.

I have read several different explanations for canceling the tour, but I have not heard for sure. 

I am leaning towards the fighting reason though.

I went last Tue, it was their last one. David Lee Roth needs to quit anyway. Eddie looked and played great.  David couldnt even try to jump, he looks like hes 75. One of their excuses was it was too much for them....i believe it.

That is the one I am hearing most.  They are not kids anymore.

This is why I have been running to see as many of these bands as I can, many will not be touring much longer.

Crue is one example of a aging band talking about hanging it up.

The only problem I had with them was they were way to loud. Good show otherwise.

Maybe I'm getting to old too.

Your getting old!  I have always loved Van-Halen and hoped they could overcome the bickering and fighting, too bad!

Van Headache.

Age is an excuse but I don't believe for a second that it's the excuse. These guys are a bunch of hard-headed narcissists who just have a difficult time getting along with people in general, and when they get together and add in the inevitable drugs and booze it just makes everything worse. Sure, it's one thing to be 20 years old and riding the wave of fame on a party bus from one city to another but after 30+ years of reinforcing that stupidity you need to sit down and reassess your tactics once in a while.

FWIW I thought it was a great show in Ft. Lauderdale. No, they're not kids but the big screen behind them was the only reason their geriatric audience could see whether DLR could jump or not. I didn't expect them to be 20 again, I just wanted to get some of what I missed the first time around.

Saw them here in Tampa in April, (I guess).. Eddie was nailing everything. I was surprised, but is it possible that David Lee Roth could have gotten any MORE GAY??? I swear, I saw them years ago with DLR and this time I thought they replaced him with someone even more flamboyant!! No kidding!! I had to ask around to find out who the new lead singer was!!!! Others were saying the same thing with surprise...

haha...the "old timey" dance routine (dunno what else to call it) and the video about the dogs had me going "WTF!?!"

[Steve P.]

^^^^^^^^  Hahahahahahaaa.... I didn't know what to call it either!!!! lol....

[Ponch ®]

^^^^^^^^  Hahahahahahaaa.... I didn't know what to call it either!!!! lol....

its some sort of tap dancing / 1920's shim sham deal I guess?

But even then, I get it. DLR is pushing 60 and cant do what he did back in 1982 so this is his new thing. Fair enough.

But again, the dog video. Again, WHAT THE F...
