Let’s hope they come to Canada…they always come to Toronto, so we definitely want to see them up here.

Edward has been unfairly attacked in recent interviews. I am affiliated with the Pathology Laboratory that Edward help create. We are a state of the art laboratory that specializes in Dermatopathology (The study of the causes and nature of skin diseases) He has lent his knowledge of technology to assist in the practices of medicine (bar coding, digital imaging, etc). Edward is not only an asset to the musical landscape but a great humanitarian that has not used his generosity to aid his celebrity. We wish Edward and the band great success on the upcoming tour as well as the induction ceremony. He deserves all the best.

Now there is a comment worth sending on to Eddie and worth posting on all of the other Van Halen forums…

Thanks D. Simpson!

I have never seen VH with DLR.
I’ve seen them a few times with Sammy. That was okay. But the classic Van Halen is the best!

I hope Eddie and Dave get along and that they are able to work together for 40 shows.
