61. Why are these washed out rockers trying to make a return?
Although I wouldn`t hesitate to see the Police or Genesis. I think that these guys should JUMP

62.
I wish him the best but the timing doesnt surprise me. E! Online reported before this that the tour was "iffy" and now with the RnR induction it's a good excuse for not appearing. Alex wont show "in a show of support" for Eddie and DLR isnt going in protest for not being allowed to sing (Velvet Revolver will play instead). The only ones supposedly going are Sammy and Michael - the other half.

Oh and for those wondering if this is a recent pic of him, it is. I saw a series of 4 from earlier this week on Yahoo and he was smiling in one - nothing but brown teeth and missing some on the bottom front. You'd think with his money he could afford crowns or dentures. Even Keith Richards got his teeth fixed. C'mon Ed.

64. I loved Van Halen.

But, the picture of Eddie on CNN and FOX news website was sooooo sad to look at. He looked like a bum and it looks as if he is missing teeth. He looked like hell.

I hope he gets the help he needs.

Did he ever divorce Valerie ? I wonder how old and how his son Wolfgang is doing.

65. I just saw a pic of Wolfgang on a blog on here. He looks just like his dad. I only hope he doesn't end up like him.

66. Regarding the teeth...maybe that is one of the reasons he needs to go on tour again, to get some new caps or something. Unless he's drowning in debt, there's no excuse to have nasty looking teeth,being a performer.

I wish him the best.

67. Eddie Van Halen did not die of liver disease, there was no coverage on tv whatsoever of this. I think maybe you need to slow down on whatever substances you are taking, Lee. Ed is in rehab, alive and well and hopefully for his sake he'll get the treatment he needs and this time the rehab will stick.

68. Yes, Eddie still smokes as of the 2007 NAMM show in January...like a chimney. He's a damn fool.

In 2004 when I saw them at Staples, every time he lit up a cigarette on stage (a good 5-10 times), the crowd booed him. Eddie Van Halen booed at his own show because he survived tongue cancer, continued to smoke - not only in public, in front of his kid when Wolfie came out onstage! I saw a lot of disturbed faces that night even though he played great (one of the only decent shows of the tour from what I've read).

I wish Eddie the best of luck. He needs it.

I love when I read people say 'Good luck getting sober Ed, the smoking we can handle, but get well!', what that translates to is "You can keep killing yourself so long as we're able to see you onstage in a functional state". Sad, sad, sad.

Dude is over 50 and a cancer survivor. He says smoking didn't cause his tongue cancer, but its sad and foolish to keep smoking even if its true. If the drinking was gonna do him in within a year, the smokes will within five years. He can do whatever he wants obviously, but I hope he kicks both...for his and his family's sake.

Drugs are drugs, kids. Cigarettes are a dangerous and lethal drug even though lots of people like to pretend they're not since they're legal and come in a cute box. Let's hope "sober" means "sober" for Eddie.

71. H.O.W. 's Van Halo?

72. How's Van Halo? #65 I was at VH/Sabbath in San Antonio. It was DRL's b-day. He poured 2 bottles of champagne over his cowboy hat at the same time. Black Sabbath had an equipment outage but I remember being rite in front of Toni Iommi. My cousin has some great pics of DRL. I was in the back for VH. Back in the day.

73. Where have all the good times gone . . . into A.A. meetings. If you were having fun drinking you probably weren't partying hard enough because alcoholism is a death sentence. I remember sitting in my car with an ice chest--isolation because I couln't afford drinks inside the bar so I would pay the cover and keep going outside to drink alone. What fun. Waking up where's my car which I lost a few times and is there flesh and dents on the car. Sometimes it was wrecked or drove funny. I was a regular at the junk yard. More fun. Fear. Blackouts like sleeping yet you're awake--you're blind. Handcuffs and ankle shackles--more fun. being in a cell which u can only stand up in. I was at a river parade familylike rite, and sipping cheap whiskey rite out of the bottle out in the open, people probably thought what a psycho. Sticking syringes in my arm coz I was to drunk to say no. Sober now
