Wait, was it off again since the earlier "on again" post this morning?

But really, apart from the trainwreck value of watching them creak through the motions and possibly implode into a vortex of suck, who in their right mind cares? I used to care about Diamond Dave and the Sultans of Sauce but they've been irrelevant for at least 25 years.

/remembers when the blew Sabbath off stage on VH's first UK tour.
//would now rather watch St Sanders.

You know, this reminds me of the Xerox thread a few months ago.

It's a nostalgia show, pure and simple. Remember how you laughed when the "Beach Boys" would tour and it would be Mike Love and John Stamos and shiat, with no Brian Wilson in sight? That's where Van Halen is in their career right now (no pun intended). They haven't had a genuine hit album since For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, which came out when I was in middle school. (I remember because I had the t-shirt and was told not to wear it to school anymore.) I'm now almost 30, and feel old because I remember seeing Wolfie as a toddler. So meanwhile, Eddie's had his issues, Dave's latest endeavor was performing on a bluegrass VH tribute album, and in the meantime Mike's pissed Eddie off by playing with Sammy. (Ah, drama. You guys are in your 50s now. Grow up.) Anyhow, meanwhile they realize that by teaming up they can make a shiatload of money, and it's still not quite as sad as the Beach Boys situation.

We apologise again for the fault in the Van Halen tour. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked,
have been sacked.

Everything after Diver Down sucked. And even Diver Down sucked.

Yeah, you heard me.

FTFY

They cancelled the show here in C'ville, then announced a new date, then cancelled it again...douches. Not that I'd go anyway.
