EDDIE VAN HALEN Was In Talks With JOHN MELLENCAMP About Doing Acoustic Tour

April 15, 2005

MelodicRock.com is reporting that Eddie Van Halen apparently nearly joined up for an acoustic tour with John Mellencamp four years ago. In a recent interview with The News-Sentinel, Mellencamp said the following on the subject of a possible acoustic tour: "Eddie Van Halen and I talked about it four years ago. He would play acoustic guitar and I would sing. We talked about it for three months. I went to MTV in the mid-'80s, and they'll verify the story, and said, I want to do a concert in acoustic guitars. A couple years later they came up with acoustic — or unplugged. That was me (my idea)."
