Stuttering John

**AGE399** · 06.01.01, 09:49 AM

I was in the gym yesterday listening to my walkman on 92.3 k-rock ny,ny and stuttering john of howard stern fame said that Van Halen was booked to play this june at the
k-rock dysfunctional family picnic at jones beach, but cancelled due to Eddies cancer.

This would match with the following statement at the knac.com:

"There has been no word on the status of Roth's position in his former band, but sources say that Eddie is still being treated for cancer and the band is on hold for now."

If eds cancer is really the problem

1)Why does ed smoke even in public ?
2)Why doesn´t he talk about that this is the reason for the bands hold on ?
3)Why does he say that all belongs in wich dirction the band like to go ?
4)Why does he believe that it is not up to him to make a decision ?
5)Why does val say ed isn´t that ill and that they wait for dave to call ?
and so on...

doesn´t really match what they say.

he was just joking when he said that...the dysfuntional family picnic is new metal bands, staind is headlining. i dont think vh would fit in very well with a bunch of young hungry metal bands. it was more of a jab at eddie and the band, which isnt surprising on stern.

Maybe Edward just has writers block and can't write any tunes with everything going on! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

This topic seems to come up almost every day in the last couple of weeks. Is the Stern show running an ad for the concert with SJs comments?

I'm pretty sure it was a joke, considering the other bands mentioned were GNR and The Ramones.

I believe the comment was a joke along the lines that they've had bad luck getting people to play.

"They booked the Ramones, but then Joey Ramone died."
"They had Guns N' Roses booked but Buckethead had an anerism."
"Then they booked Van Halen with David Lee Roth and Edward got cancer."

That was the gist of the conversation.
