I know everyone would like to have a good laugh about this and have their predictions come true, which in the end may still happen. But it looks like this is only on hold for the moment.

Well, the official VH web site still says the tour is a go, so I'd believe that for now:

I gotta give credit where credit is due...you guys were right. Too bad you didn't actually have some real money on the table for this one.

Happy now?
Oh well. I couldn't see Dave performing with that short hair anyway.

That would be mind-boggling horrible! Actually paying money to see Scott Stapp!

I saw VH at the Angel Stadium ( or what ever it is called now). Was their first stadium show. It was arrrsome. Saw some dude od and will never forgt him flopping around on 3rd base. Maybe it was Scott Stapp? Saw DLR at a few punks gigs 79/80 in Hollyweird also. How come everyone gives the Rolling Stones shit?? They $eem to $till have thier $hit together!
ugh!

Audio interview with Eddie & Alex from RollingStone.com
Too bad Eddie can't stay sober enough to make sense for the length of an interview.
On the flip side, Michael Anthony & Sammy Hagar play "I Can't Drive 55" for the opening of the NASCAR Auto Club 500:
Quote:
| Sammy Hagar and the WABORITAS performed "I Can't Drive 55" during the pre-race ceremonies Sunday (February 25) at the NASCAR Auto Club 500. Former VAN HALEN bassist Micheal Anthony provided background vocals on the track. Watch video footage of the performance at this location.
Even though Hagar won't be on the road much this year, he performed recently at his Cabo Wabo Cantina in Mexico with Michael Anthony and RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer Chad Smith, and he told Launch the three of them might hit the studio together. "We're thinking about, when the CHILI PEPPERS tour is over, about doing a little record," he said. "Not a permanent thing, but we've been calling ourselves CHICKEN FOOT down here, you know? A power trio. And it's so much fun playing in a power trio, you know? I haven't done it in a long time, playing all the guitar, and, and Mike and I singing together. It's pretty strong, man, it's a pretty exciting band. So we're thinking about going in the studio, and maybe making a record." |

Poor Ed. He must be so shell-shocked from all the years of booze and high volume amps clobbering his ears. He sounded a little out of it on that interview, but it wasn't THAT bad. It wasn't like he was pullin' an Anna Nicole Van Halen. All jokes aside he really is a great musician, and it kinda sucks that all their plans were turned into a joke before they even got a chance to get out on the road.

At least Ed sounds like he has a good releationship with his son. How many burnt rock-stars can you say that about?
