Plus, if he messes up, everyone's gonna be like, "Slash needs to go back to rehab!" etc etc....

Slash had to play VH before, when he played "Beat It" with Michael Jackson. He changed the solo to suit him. Slash was never from the Vai/VH school of tapping.

[Jim Bob]

I personally think they should play all DLR VH songs.. Here's why...  If Van Halen ended after Roth, they would still make the HOF.. If Van Halen started with Sammy they would not have ever even came close...

But they are celebrating Van Halen's entire career.   Thats stupid.

Beat it and VH are very different styles lol , he changed it to suit him. But this is in honor of the band , and well EVH reputation is T-A-P lol. Exactly Slash is a dirty blues guy not anywhere near the Vai/VH school , so why him to honor EVH ? Ehh we will see.

[metallex78]

They should've gotten some players like Vai and Satriani to play tribute, seeing as they've taken the style of EVH and pushed it further.

[Smoking Guns]

Metallex, I think Slash will Suprise us! 

I think he will put forth the effort and nail a killer solo.  Hope he goes with ATBL, that song suits him great!

All I know is,

I'm sneaking in

DAVID LEE ROTH Says He Is Not Allowed To Perform At ROCK HALL Induction - Mar. 8, 2007

Geoff Boucher of the Los Angeles Times reports that David Lee Roth, VAN HALEN's frontman for the band's first decade, said Thursday (March he will not attend the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony because event officials have turned down his repeated overtures to perform.

"I don't make speeches for a living; I sing and dance for my dinner," Roth said, adding that the decision to skip the event "rips my heart out."

The Hall of Fame's event organizers plan for VELVET REVOLVER to perform some VAN HALEN classics, much as METALLICA stood in last year to play BLACK SABBATH songs while that band's members watched from the audience. "So it appears this is a television producer's decision," Roth said.

The choice of VELVET REVOLVER was in response to a sticky situation as far as what lineup of VAN HALEN could take the stage to perform with Roth. VAN HALEN's revered guitar hero, Eddie Van Halen, and his brother, drummer Alex, had already sent signals that they would not be in New York. The Van Halens have been in lock-down mode since their plans for a summer reunion tour with Roth collapsed last month. Roth said he last spoke to Eddie Van Halen's camp a week ago, and he said he could not determine the truth about reports that the guitarist is seeking help for alcohol problems.

"Ed is indisposed and working toward a better future here," Roth said. "If Ed ever dries up, this is going to be a stadium act, man.... What's happening here with this [New York event] is part and parcel of the same spiral that screwed up the tour."

"It's just not an option for me to go and watch some other band ? who are only performing because they have some new record coming out ? do our music," Roth said. "I have nothing against Velvet Revolver ? I'm not familiar with their music ? but that was my 3 minutes and 22 seconds up there."

Here's hoping that our boys take a page from the VH book of fucking up and fucking over the fans....and NOT fuck each other over, the Hall of Fame, and the fans.
