Randy Lahey Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 (edited) http://roadrun.com/blabbermouth.net/news.a...ewsitemID=92026VAN HALEN Tour Cancelled? - Mar. 2, 2008 TMZ.com reports that the VAN HALEN tour has just been cancelled.Sources tell TMZ.com that arrangements are being made right now to cancel hotel stays for the tour — which was scheduled to continue through April 19. According to the site, the reason for the cancellation is guitarist Eddie Van Halen, who is said to be "having issues."VAN HALEN postponed two concerts last weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia and Duluth, Georgia. No reason was given for the postponements, but both were rescheduled for mid-March.According to numerous unsubstantiated reports online, internal band tensions have been flaring up again as the tour has gone forward. The group hit the road last fall with original singer David Lee Roth for the first time in 22 years.These guys should line up a tour with GNR when they get their shit back together. They could call it the "Train Wreck on Top of a Car Crash Tour". Edited March 3, 2008 by Randy Lahey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highvoltage Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 i heard taht Eddie is really pissed off at his guitar tech as his guitar is sounding like shit.This would be nothing new - Eddie is notorious for having problems with his guitar techs if I recall correctly.

JONEZY Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 It has nothing to do with Dave, he's been a good boy the whole tour. He's to smart to screw this tour up.Ed is back on the sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becket Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Maybe EVH is drinking again.Thats a damn shame if they fall apart. The video clips I seen from the begining of the show, they all looked so happy to be back together doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONEZY Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Go to Youtube and type "Jump @ Van Halen in Concert, Fort Lauderdale, 2/20/2008"This was their last show. At the end Eddie slams his guitar on the stage, after they take a bow, while walking off the stage Eddie pushes over 2 amp's, Dave has to move to avoid being hit. Interesting.

JONEZY Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 The saga continues.............Billboard.com says the tour is still on, despite rumours to the contrary. Tonights show in Dallas has been postponed(not cancelled). Other dates have also been rescheduled.They also say Van Halen is slated to play in Las Vegas, April 19, for Tiger Woods. I guess Ed won't want to miss that, since he's a golf nut.All I know is, they better show up in St. Louis. They've already fucked us over once.

Interesting.At another show (can't remember where, but I think it was before the new year), he pulled another "Axl" fit when he got pissed off at the guitar tech, but I can see why he was mad. It sounded like shit.This really sucks. I hope they get things straightened around for the sake of the fans that have yet to see them. They were awesome in October and I'm glad I got to see them when I did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I doubt there's any issues between band members they all seem genuinely happy onstage. Much different than 83/84. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounded like shit.Vegas Dec. 30th I believe. The popular theory is Ed has a bad hearing loss and refuses to wear in-ear monitors. So he has trouble hearing his guitar, has the sound guys turn it up which screws up the mix(vocals,bass,drums etc..) causing unwanted feedback.

Maybe old age is finally setting in. This is the show I was referring to: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting.I was right there when it happened. I dont recall seeing Eddie slam the guitar (I am about to look that up), but I did see the amps fall and it seemed to me as if it was an accident (I will also check up on that now).Also, on the VH website, they have postponed dates for Eddies medical reasons.
