Van Halen have cancelled all European tour dates before they're even confirmed...

VAN HALEN CANCEL PLANNED EUROPEAN TOUR DATES:
Van Halen have cancelled their planned 2012 Summer Tour of Europe before the dates were even announced. But because planning was so far along for the tour - the dates and venues were already locked in. But there has been no reason given to promoters for the cancellation. Simply that it was not going to go ahead.

The cancelled dates were:
May 28 Paris Zenith
May 30 Zuerich Hallenstadion
June 1 Barcelona Pala Jordi
June 3 Milano Arena Fiera
June 5 Dortmund Westfalenhalle
June 7 Sweden Rock Solvesborg
June 10 Download Festival Donnington
June 13 Stuttgart Schleyerhalle
June 15 Hellfest Clisson France
June 17 Fields Of Rock Festival Holland
June 19 Berlin O2 Arena
June 21 Prag
June 23 Grasspop Metal Meeting Belgium

That's it for now... but stay tuned as always...

Oooooh, I can't wait to not go to this pile of shite.
I seriously hope Metallica play the Lulu album in its entirity whilst sitting on high chairs smoking cheroots and drinking bottled half fizzy water wearing black acryllic polo necked jumpers with pink beret's on their heads and sporting a range of Freud styled goatee beards.
And what could be better than all that excitement ? What could possibly top that ozone destroying mass cow farting session ?
Not content on giving you, the paying fool, one enormous dollop of vomit, Andy Coppin has dug deep into his bile and seamen encrusted stomach and pulled out this titan of bilge....
Shit against the fuc*ing shit. Who else could make a fuc*ing rubbish non-event even more unbearable ? Duh !
If ever a band seriously deserved to be put through a giant wood shredder its them. Cack and nausea in extremis. fuc*ing rubbish series of beeps, farts and bad music eccenuated by a sheep dog headed tw@T bleating about fighting an aggressive and intollerable big brother style system when in all reality he's a spoilt little rich bastard who was born into an extremely wealthy family. Go figure on that one !
Anyway,
I can't wait to stay at home and completely avoid this utter shit or your shoe experience.

Roll on 2013 and the possibility of the Hitler, Gadaffi, Hussein, Pol Pot Tenors headlining.
