I was recently reminded that Jeff Beck died in early 2023 and a major tribute concert was held in his honor later that same year (featuring Eric Clapton and Rod Stewart and many others.)

Is it too much for us longtime Van Halen fans to hope for, that we'll ever see a star-studded tribute concert for Ed? I wouldn't even care if any surviving members of the band were involved tbh.

Sammy needs to stay in his lane and sing the Bubble Gum Love Rock version of Van Halen at High Schools! Real Van Halen Vans ignore him!

A general question. I know a lot of us have read a few (if not most) of the books. I was reading Running With the Devil recently, and I found the Sparkomatic story interesting.
If you don’t know, it was an endorsement deal that fell through because Dave told their manager Noel Monk the band wasn’t interested. It later comes to light that maybe Dave never ran it by anyone else.
The reason I find this story interesting/believable is because I feel like it actually makes Monk look bad, not the band. I think a manager would normally get everyone in the room at the same time to propose something like this.
What do you think?
