OTH | 3/31/2008, 6:37 pm EST

I assume Wolfgang is the band’s new spokesperson. What happened to Janie whats-her-name?

One time, just one time, why can’t these idiots be honest with their fans and give a reasonable explanation why all these dates were rescheduled? I am sooo over this band!

slash52 and squigs | 4/1/2008, 10:40 am EST

the fact that you listen to and defend this turd and his band speaks volumes.

I SAW HALEN IN NOV 07 AND THEY PUT ON A GREAT SHOW. SURE THEY ARE NOT TOTALLY HONEST, BUT WHO CARES! WE ALL KNOW THAT EDDIE’S A FRICKIN ALCHY
ESPESIALLY AFTER FAT VALERIES BOOK.

You can’t have an alcholic/user out on the road for longer than 4 months without hitting a snag or two. My guess is that Ed has about 5-10 years left before he kicks the bucket. In the meanwhile, he needs to earn and save some money for good ole’ Wolfie…I believe that is the only reason young Wolfie is in the band. It’s all about the cash…Who cares though. VH rocks just as hard as they did in the 70’s and early 80’s. How cool is it to play in a band with your dad..OR how cool is it to play each night with your kid. I think its as cool as hell. Rock on Eddie–You’re still living the dream!

AC/D is the greatest band ever, but now we have AIRBOURNE and there pretty damn good too

Eddie kicks ass even if he is all about the money now.Look at all of the kick-ass guitar players he has influenced over the years.
