The 15 Most Ridiculous Things About This Ridiculous Van Halen Show

[Spooks]

Spooks, how could you fail to report essential information, like the fact that David Lee Roth is now wearing Carharts overalls instead of assless chaps?

haha when I saw him go up on stage, I was about to shout, "Bob the Builder!"

She's The Woman (First time played live since 1976)

Inevitable postponement of future tour dates. Hope anyone who wanted to see them got to see them.

[xuclarockerx]

Haha, I saw them at Staples in 07, wasn't great but it was fun. The dates are canceled after June 26 or something, so the LA/OC dates are safe. Low ticket sales is speculated.

Van Halen will barely make it out of this year together.

[xuclarockerx]

What a ridiculous video.

[SlowMotionApocalypse]

According to some chatter backstage at Staples they have already signed up for 2013.

Fuck Van Halen, WHat I wanna see is David Lee Roth with Billy Sheehan and Steve Vai.

[oaktown_dimond]

the boys are being coy. they said they cancelled those dates due to exhaustion. which is not necessarily a lie. my guess is that dave's voice is shot and he needs some time to recoup. i saw them in oakland a few weeks ago. FUCKIN' FUN ASS TIME! if you've never heard The Mighty Van Halen shred your ears with muthafuckin' Unchained, you haven't lived ;-)

and judging by dave, eddie and alex fucking with eachother onstage, they seem to be genuinely getting along.

but they are nearing 60 and let's be honest, all those north american dates were a shit-ton for a bunch of old farts.

they said they will be touring Australia and japan when they gear up again.

see ya,

I have never had "The Mighty Van Halen shred (my) ears with muthafuckin' Unchained" - I haven't even seen them live - but I am pretty sure I have lived.

[brycerosen]

im down for this, would see just for eddie, but i did hear that david lee roth just doesnt have it anymore

[kneuller]

Might as well jump off a bridge

[oaktown_dimond]

those were dark times for EVH for sure. no matter, he's clean, sober, fixed his teeth, got a haircut. looks great for 57 years old!

Might as well jump off a bridge

Fuck Van Halen, WHat I wanna see is David Lee Roth with Billy Sheehan and Steve Vai.

That would be just like paradise and I'd be going crazy on ladies nite in buffalo for that Shy Boy.

I saw Diamond Dave with Vai in 86 or 87 but Gregg Bissonette's brother played bass. That's Life!

[anonimouse]

the only Van Halen i ever want to see at coachella is the one that is brought to the stage via time machine straight from 1980-84 or whenever the fuck their prime was. i could care less about seeing has been dino rockers playing music that sounds like a guitarcenter commercial. also Eddie is a douche and would probably jump at the chance to be relevant to the kids these days as he once attempted when nirvana fucked up their world

Before a December 1993 Nirvana show in Los Angeles, Eddie Van Halen was seen and heard backstage begging Kurt Cobain if he could jam with the grunge band that night. Annoyed, Cobain replied, “No, you can’t play with us. We don’t have any extra guitars.” Persisting on, the heavily intoxicated Van Halen, who was on his knees, shouted out, “Well, let me play the Mexican’s (referring to Nirvana touring guitarist Pat Smear) guitar. What is he, is he Mexican? Is he black?” Seeing all this, filmmaker Dave Markey, who was videotaping the show that night, turned off his camera in pity of the inebriated Van Halen, thus saving future generations from witnessing this fiasco on youtube.

nirvana closed the set that nite with the song "blew" and dedicated it to EVH
