Original Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 It’s Diamond Dave so who knows but something to chew on- “Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Jason Aldean, the Foo Fighters, Church, and Stapleton. And they all said that, if everything happens, they would certainly be involved.” https://www.vulture.com/amp/2018/12/david-lee-roth-on-the-future-of-van-halen.html?__twitter_impression=true 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Sounds like a big benefit show or somethings a one off "mega festival" a-la Desert Trip or The Classic? Its also can be nothing because Dave is kind of nuts 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooch14 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I just came in here to see if anybody else posted this possible news. This (as was already stated) could be nothing, but.............. could you imagine if it wasn’t?! Could you imagine in a million years how MASSIVE an event would be if Van Halen, GNR, Metallica, and Foo Fighters shared a stage? This would be like the US festival for another generation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other bands yes, vh no. Roths voice is worse than axls and his vocals on adkot was yelping then singing. Roths voice is done. Plus id like to see michael Anthony share the stage but the have left that 20 years to late.

Gordon Comstock Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Here's the full quote: Are you telling me that Van Halen will play Yankee Stadium next summer? You promised four New York copy editors free tickets today. Yeah, but I can’t … If I say something on tape here and everybody goes, “Oh, this leaked…” But, the band will be — I can’t say. Come on. Well, I don’t know how far this privacy actually goes. But the band is solvent. And I can say that I contacted colleagues about being part of the show — Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Jason Aldean, the Foo Fighters, Church, and Stapleton. And they all said that, if everything happens, they would certainly be involved. So this would be a festival? No, all I talked about was a phone call.

The Holographic Universe Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Axl is not going to be a part of any Van Halen show. It sounds as if he contacted individual members of those bands about any possible interest in an appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lame ass security Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) I just read that entire article and two things you cannot say about DLR is that he's lazy or boring. Not many rock stars became EMTs or are capable of piloting a helicopter. He has a fear of heights and became a rock climber. Yeah, he can be a douche but he's an interesting one. Btw, I seriously doubt that show will happen. Edited December 14, 2018 by lame ass security 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Since Slash is gonna tour in Q1 and Q2, this would basically mean NITL II – summer edition. Wouldn’t expect anything new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draguns Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 This isn't going to happen. Also Sammy Hagar was better in Van Halen than Roth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its Tino Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I saw jay-z/Eminem at yankee stadium. It was meh, maybe because hip-hop live sounds terrible I dunno. Ticket prices would be insane I’d imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edsonandhudson Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 There was a time Axl was one of the most interesting musicians for me. He was surrounded by people like Buckethead, Finck, Brain, Beaven, etc. I thought he had it all to make hundreds of great modern rock songs. Watching him become an 80s rock singer parody (or an older and heavier parody of himself) is certainly a big frustration to young Edson here. ACDC, Van Halen... Geez. Now I know he's just a cheesy rock singer playing for money. But for a long period back then, I believed in Axl's lol vision. I wanted that Axl's solo industrial/experimental album badly. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean yeah, Hagar's voice is still really strong. But Diamond Dave was THE MAN in the early to mid 80s! Fair Warning is in my top 10 albums. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Serious doubts about it, just sounds like them trying to put together a costly supershow with too many bands and egos gunning for top billing. Then again, stranger things have happened.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, as long as I understand it, Dizzy alone could play bongos on "Drop Dead Legs" and they would still say that Guns N' Roses was at that stage. Knowing the band, even if they invited only Melissa, all flyers would be "with special guest Guns N' Roses". I love the band, but I have learned my lesson: I only believe and enjoy it when I see it happening. Now let me crank "Coma" for the tenth time today! CYA!

I’m aware that a broke Axl was manipulated by Irving Azhoff to possibly tour Stadiums with Van Halen with the stipulation of a reunion with Slash. I’m not being shitty man. I just don’t see it happening man. It sounds like a real cool idea, but I don’t see GNR the band performing. That is what the thread insinuated and that’s what I’m calling BS on.

gunsguy Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 In a limited discussion regarding Van Halen with a founding GNR member He had nothing but good things to say about them other than the fact that he never wanted to sound like Van Halen, meaning he didn't want you to know it is Guns any time a song was played and be redundant in that or stuck in that scope. This convo was regarding the falling out of Axl and Slash in regards to direction years and years ago My point is I dont think there is bad blood between say Axl and VH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
