Guess what comes up on TicketMaster.com if you type in "Van Halen"? A picture of Van Hagar - and a lame ass statement saying "no dates scheduled". WTF???
I'm beginning to wonder if this whole Classic Van Halen 2007 Tour idea is just one of Eddie's crack pipe dreams. I mean, why in the hell are there no dates scheduled on TicketMaster.com if in fact the first show is going to be in April? ("A late April date at the Palms' new venue, The Pearl, is "99 percent" likely, a source said.") The Police tour dates don't start until the beginning of June - and they are going on sale tomorrow. What is wrong with this picture?
If you go to GoTickets.com, one of the largest concert ticket resellers, the only Van Halen tickets available are for a New York gig on July 7, 2007 at fucking B.B. King Blues Club & Grill. What the fuck is that all about? The Police have two gigs at Madison Square Garden lined up for the beginning of August (which will sell out for sure), and Van Halen is playing at a fucking blues bar & grill?
In addition, what do you make of vague statements like the following one?
Guitarist Eddie Van Halen recently told Rolling Stone, "Everything is up in the air. We don't want to say anything prematurely," hinting that Van Halen would tour this summer whether David Lee Roth was the singer or not.
Whether DLR was the singer or not? What the fuck kind of drunken rhetoric is that shit? Dudes, I am now wondering if this tour will even get off the ground. Could it be that Eddie Van Halen is fucked up more than any of us are willing to admit?
Thoughts?
