Chaos Surrounding Van Halen & Guns N' Roses Continues

Sunday February 25, 2007
Well, the first shoe has dropped on the latest big-time '80s reunion, with perhaps additional pieces of footwear to follow. By now you've probably heard that this summer's planned Van Halen reunion tour with David Lee Roth is in serious peril, and that all of the band's core members may not even attend their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on March 12 in New York. So my question is, who's shocked? Anyone who believed this tour would come off without a hitch must think Guns N' Roses' long-awaited album, Chinese Democracy, is on its way directly. Oh yeah, about that, apparently the band's first release since 1993 will not make its most recently scheduled March release. Yeah, well, at least we still have the music from both of those bands' '80s pinnacles. Do we really need more anyway? Let's hope the answer is no, because we probably won't get it anytime soon.

Mr. Peake,
Sorry, been so long. I have slowly become to numb to Eddie VH and the GnR stuff. First off, you remember how much i used to admire the Ed. I realized he hasn’t contributed anything worth a durn in music for almost 20 years. Sad, really. I guess we could count his latest porn soundtrack but maybe not. I’m actually more interested in the GnR album. I heard a few tracks and they are passable, at best. Maybe even better than that but who really knows. It’s very comical what Axl and GnR have become. Comical and sad,….indeed.

Eddie has way too much control and too much say. He’s the common denominator in all of the controversies (DLR, the VH tour with Sammy recently, who can play, who can’t play). What’s with rock stars and their EGOS??? They all want to get back together, but Eddie keeps stopping everything from happening. Wake up Eddie!!!
