Eddie Van Halen explains postponed Van Halen tour
dates
In a recent interview with USA Today, Eddie Van Halen
explained why Van Halen postponed all
their summer tour dates following their June 26th show in New Orleans. "We bit
off more than we could chew. This record [the recently released "A Different
Kind Of Truth"] took a lot out of us," says the guitarist. "And we went on tour
earlier than we wanted to so we could play Madison Square Garden [before a
renovation], and that threw the schedule out of whack."
Last month singer David Lee Roth
expressed similar sentiments in a video, saying, "We bit off way more than we
could chew when it came to scheduling. The band is winning, but our schedule has
been sidelined for unnecessary roughness."
Van Halen denied any instance of inter-band turmoil, as reported by Rolling
Stone last month, when a source with knowledge of the tour said that Van Halen's
members "hate each other" and that "the band is arguing like mad. They are
fighting." The guitarist also revealed the band will visit Japan in November and
has "something special" tentatively planned for next year.
