Van Halen Reunion Tour Bumped, Might Not Happen

Van Halen Reunion Tour Bumped, Might Not Happen For those of you out there who got super-excited about seeing Diamond Dave and Eddie Van Halen back onstage together again, you might want to temper yourselves a bit. In a bit of news that surprises absolutely nobody, the proposed and correspondingly sweated-over Van Halen reunion tour may no longer happen.

According to NME, the tour has been postponed indefinitely. Though no dates were officially announced, a 40-city tour, the band’s first with David Lee Roth in 20 years, was in the works. However, Pollstar has reported that the tour is off until further notice.

Wow, imagine that? Two men who haven’t liked each other for quite some time still can’t seem to get along and accomplish anything. What a tease. Something tells me this planned tour never got past the idea stage. It was offered and accepted, and then everyone involved realized exactly what they had agreed to and the whole thing went up in flames.

The big loser in this (other than David Lee Roth), as always, is Van Halen’s fans. It wouldn’t matter if they didn’t tour so long as they didn’t constantly dangle the possibility that they could work things out and give their fans what they’ve been clamoring for. From now on, just shut up, guys, until you’re actually ready to let bygones be bygones.

Until then, you’re just torturing the few fans you’ve got left. And at this stage of the game, it doesn’t do Van Halen any good to piss off those that remain. In 10 years or so, they’ll finally be ready to do it, finally be ready to get over their egos and do what they were put on the Earth to do, and the news will be greeted with an enveloping nothingness that swallows the band whole.

Two-hand tapping was huge a long time ago. Same with “Hot for Teacher.” The guys in Van Halen need to understand this simple fact and what it means. Then, perhaps they’d be a little nicer to the seven or eight people who still care to get excited about them.
