That headline seems misleading, based on what I've read. The LA Times has an article at
http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/music/la-et-vanhalen9mar09,0,1661766.story?coll=la-home-entertainment He was not banned from the event. Van Halen was not asked to perform because very few of them were going to show up. From the LA Times article, "Without the Brothers Van Halen, the Hall faced the prospect of putting Roth on stage with [bassist Michael] Anthony, and Sammy Hagar, Roth's replacement in the band and longtime foil." Instead, they asked Velvet Revolver to play Van Halen songs. I agree, that sucks -- let the man play. But that's not what the headline claimed. | |
