Another end for Van Halen?
May 18, 2012 by johnscaer
Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. My money was on "sooner." Heck, I'm shocked they stayed together long enough to come out with the last album. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they did, but their resent situation is just sad. Sammy said it best himself. Van Halen has one of the most loyal fan bases in the music industry today, yet the rockers have continually treated them like crap. Don't get me wrong: I love their music, but it doesn't seem right that they postpone (cancel?) tour dates without any explanation at all. An explanation. At the very least, they owe the ticket holders that. Is this the end of Van Halen...again? I believe it very well might be, but I hope I'm wrong.

O-WELL more money for Chickenfoot VIP tickets for this summer....lol
Daves a DICK HEAD ANYWAY!!!!!!
At the Chickenfoot show friday night, there was a local rock radio station contest going on. I asked the three DJs workin there if they heard what happened to VH, as I heard the news earlier that day that the summer tour was cancelled. They told me at the Winnipeg show during Alexs drum solo, Dave went at Wolfie over something that happened on stage, putting his finger in his chest and screaming at him. When EVH got invovled DLR walked away, but came back shortly thereafter and started in on Wolfie again. The next day, they cancelled the tour without an explanation. Thats why I saw them early, like in 07. Dont know if its fact or fiction, but thats what they told me.

Who Knows?
Even rockstars can get tired ... and TMZ has learned that's exactly why Van Halen decided to postpone 31 upcoming concert dates.
Sources close to the band tell us ... the guys felt like the current schedule was "too much, too fast" ... and they were "losing their focus."
One source tells us, "They're simply burned out" ... adding, "They want to make sure their concerts are not a routine ... they want every performance to be special."
We're told the guys want to take some time to "re-charge their engines" ... so they can rock all 31 cities the way Van Halen fans expect to be rocked.
As for rumors that Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth are feuding ... we're told "It's total B.S."As for rumors that Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth are feuding ... we're told "It's total B.S."
Speculation is that the tour is temporarily off due to in-fighting, as Rolling Stone quoted an unnamed source as saying, "The band is arguing like mad. They are fighting."
