When Is Bad Publicity Good?
Negative publicity can increase sales when a product or company is relatively unknown simply because it stimulates product awareness
[B]The above caption is a definition that I found on the web. I've given this story a little thought (A LITTLE). The article released by BB could have been taken out of context but so far there hasn't been a rebuttal statement from EVH to say different. Yes it could be true that Ed and Daves relationship is no longer pure and that Ed still has issues with Mike. But its awfully weird to me that this article would come out mere weeks before the start of the tour. Could it be that ticket sales are not were the VH camp would like them to be? Could it be this is the last time we see Van Halen fronted by David Lee Roth.Either way this story has prompt some to go and buy tickets to see this once MIGHTY BAND that dominated the rock & roll business from the late 70's on into the mid 80's before the shit hit the fan.... To me that should be the tours title "THE SHIT HIT THE FAN TOUR"
