Van Halen reunion plans “shut down” |
This Van Halen reuion stuff is getting crazy. Here, we thought the group could/would/should put aside their personal differences and do a rocking reunion tour with the Roth fronting and the trio of Van Halen brothers backing, but the word now is it’s not going to happen. That’s not an official word, but a lot of publications are reporting it.
Perhaps even more strange is Roth saying the Van Halen brothers might not even attend the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on March 12:
Roth said, “We have fragile politics in Van Halen; please accept that as a partial answer. But I don’t know if the Van Halens are going to go….I hope they do, but right now, I just don’t know. Hope springs eternal.” Roth told the Times that he, original bassist Michael Anthony and the band’s second lead vocalist, Sammy Hagar, would all attend the Rock Hall ceremonies.
This is really disappointing for countless Van Halen fans. These guys need to get back to making music and touring and quit all the drama already. This might be selling a few more CDs but it’s not making new fans for the band and it has to be alienating at least a few seasoned ones. Pissed about this garbage? Vent away below if you like. It’s time for an Eruption of VH talent.
Did this post make you go hmm?
