Yeah, they came with the reissues on a DVD.

I think it depends on the promoter and ticket agent. I had two tickets in the run-up to lockdown. One was for Desertfest in London which they rescheduled to 2021. I contacted them and told them I was in a different country with no guarantee of being able to get into the country and they refunded me straight away, no fuss at all. The other was via Ticketmaster for a gig in Amsterdam. It was postponed with no rescheduled date. After 6 months and still no rescheduled date, it was finally cancelled a few weeks ago. I have had to go through the Ticketmaster refund process and, as of now, have yet to receive my refund from them. As always, Ticketmaster appear to be least interested in any form of customer service. I think I will just skip anything through Ticketmaster in the future, when there are gigs. They're such a shitty business and I'm fed up sustaining their shit, albeit in a very miniscule way, with my cash.

Fuck your peace signs. Nothing says "Look at me, I'm grieving" like modern dance.

Milk it. Get loads of Facebook likes and artificial sympathy, take a day off to listen to his music and drink to his memory (might have to swing in to Golden Discs on your way home to grab a greatest hits CD). Shit, I'm starting to well up here myself, now that I think about it. I might take the day off myself...

The faux sadness tweet trawling for likes.

"Rest In Power #EddyVanHallen. I remember once seeing you on MTV. Jump into heaven. #Jump #EddyVanHalo #EddiVanHeaven #VanValen #VanTheMan"

On a side note, when did "Rest In Power" slip into people's vocabularies? Did it sneak in at the same time as "wet pubs"? Maybe I live under a rock and missed it but horseshite new phrases seem to pop up overnight.

It's safe to say "Rest in Power" didn't originate in the North. It would never have caught on. That's all I can contribute.

 

Shit, shit buzz. What a player.

If it's still under warranty should gamestop not replace it?

That's exactly what I was thinking.
