Current Status Of This Site
July 2, 2002 -
Apologies for the lack of updates here in the past month.
Hopefully this article will help to explain why there have
been no updates recently.
To be brutally honest, I've lost the inspiration. No longer
do I look forward to jumping on the computer every day to scour
cyberspace for every tidbit of Van Halen news and rumours.
After being a die-hard Van Halen fan from my early teenage years
right through to adulthood (I'm about to turn 32), I now find myself
completely disinterested in the whole Van Halen saga.
Will they get back with Dave? Will they get back with Sammy?
Will they release a new album? Will they tour?
I don't care any more.
The whole Roth/Hagar tour hasn't excited me one iota. Maybe if
they bring the show down here to Australia I might get into it,
but after what seems like years and years of inaction in the
Van Halen camp, I'm just not interested.
I had originally written many paragraphs for this article about
why I'm so disillusioned, but when I proof-read it I found that
I was saying nothing new that I hadn't already said in the
past, so I'll spare you the boredom of reading it all again.
All I can say is that it seems moot to have a site dedicated to
reporting news related to a rock band that has been inactive
for the past four years, has no singer, no manager and no record
label. I'd be better off running The Knack News Desk (apologies
to fans of The Knack). At least they're still putting out
albums!
I'm optimistic that the band and subsequently this site will
continue and I encourage you to stop by every now and then to
check out what's happening in the world surrounding Van Halen.
When things start happening again, I'll be here to report it.
One of my greatest pleasures used to be the excitement of walking out of
a record store with a brand new Van Halen album. Hopefully
I'll get to experience that feeling again one day.
In the meantime I'll continue to dedicate my time to
my family, my real job and the never-ending crusade towards
lowering my golf handicap and getting that elusive hole in one.
