NYC DJ Alleges No Reunion

**Tucker** · 07.30.00, 05:11 PM

I was listening to 102.7 WNEW at about 5:30 p.m. yesterday when they played Beautiful Girs. After the song the DJ said reunion plans were "couched" due to DLR's voice or lack thereof and Eddie's health. I wasn't sure whether to put this in the Mill but since I heard it myself, I put it here.

according to somebody I know, Eddies health is not an issue in the least.

Somebody get them boys a doctor

Seriously......this "voice" thing with Dave is new....I think....anyone else hear this?

I know sammy was always having voice problems from too much strain on his throat, don't recall dave having anything similar. I know I heard that it took a long time for dave to record vocals for the two tracks on BVH1 because he couldn't sing in the right key, is this the voice problems that he might be refering to?

Hmm I think this guys Alleges are bullshit but the thing with Dave's voice. Isn't new to me. I knew years ago that Dave couldn't do tose wild screams anymore. Then the reunion thing. The band did everything while waiting for Dave's voice to come back and at the time, Dave was really happy that they took their time for him and his voice. If VH was smart they would have let him tour and then put him in the studio right after the last show. Because his voice would be just about ready. I saw Dave last September and listening to his stuff on the DLR Band and BOV1 albums. I don't have a problem with his voice. Sure he's getting older and doesn't sound quite the same. BUT. The way that they change things and incorporate differences.- is still awesome as hell and I can't wait to hear the new album!

Oh yeah Tucker if you found out Saturday at 5:30 PM then why did you not post this earlier. Your full of shit because I was listening to NEW as well and they did play Beautiful Girls and said nothing to the effect what you are BSing us about. Matter of fact they said nothing about VH. Nice try though.

Dave's voice is fine, and according to Gary Cherone (not known for lying) so is Eddie's health. This DJ is full of shit.

Van HALEN is: Dave, Eddie, Mikey, Alex. Any questions?

The DJ's claim contradicts other rumors. Contradictions cannot be true. So, one or the other (or both) rumors is false. What is needed in order for the rumor to have any credibility is a "valid" source of information. The issue then is whether or not the DJ's information comes from a credible, "valid" source? Please have the DJ sight his/her source.

i'd believe gary cherone over some new york disc jock.

i didn't hear this one.
here's a little footnote - WNEW is primarily a talk station now except for the weekends.
it doesn't seem logical to me that any high rolling dj who had any serious connections would be doing weekends on a station that is mostly talk and not at all about music anymore.
