OT: Van Halen...

Just saw a ticker-tape blurb on VH1CL that the VH tour is a go.
Roth + EVH + AVH + WVH on bass

Yeah, heard this yesterday. I'll believe it when it happens. And if it does happen, I hope it doesn't suck.

 

[Gnash]

I'm the first guy in line to see this!!

YOWZA!!

Well if this video is any indication, the tour will definitely suck. How the mighty have fallen:

As long as he doesn't talk, I don't see anything "wrong" with this playing ...

I actually wish my tapping skills were still that good ...

I'm bummed Mike isn't going to be on the tour, he's a huge part of the VH sound, to me it's not VH without him. Ticket prices are likely to be stupidly expensive, too...

And as others have said, putting a 15 year old kid on an arena tour like this is probably not a good idea...

You're not serious, are you????? That shit was beyond horrible. Sounds like what you hear any time you walk into Guitar Center and some 16 year old is playing through an amp cranked to 11 making annoying noise.

Well, he will be playing his songs and not "demonstrate" some amp, so I reckon it will be more coherent ...

It wasn't all that coherent on their last tour with Sammy.

Eddie looks just...awful... I'm sorry to even have to say that...

I saw the Fender videos from NAMM, and the guy plays like a monster , but he indeed looks like life has taken some kind of toll on him.

On th other hand , I'm still hoping to catch him live and see how Wolfgang stands up to the hype his daddy created
