Van Halen Announces 2012 Tour – A Channel On Sirius XM Would Be Intense
Well for music fans there was a bit of a holiday surprise this week. Iconic 80’s rock band Van Halen has dropped some serious hints that they will embark on a world tour in 2012. The band just signed a new record deal with Intersope, and intends to announce some tour dates with tickets going on sale January 12, 2012.
Van Halen is a fan favorite, and fits right into a demographic dominated by Sirius XM. It would only be natural for the satellite radio provider to come up with some way to entwine themselves with these rock legends. Whether it is a limited run channel, or simply a well timed tribute to the band, such a move would be an impressive one.
While Sirius XM has certainly made no official announcement regarding a link of some sort to Van Halen, the thought of a Van Halen channel would certainly have mass appeal. If they time it right, and find a way to work with the band, they could even perhaps get some exclusive content out of the deal.
Check out this Van Halen teaser and imagine how great it would be to have a Van Halen dedicated channel. If you like the concept let Sirius XM know!

Its Van Halen Moron….Sheesh
I spell it correctly throughout the post, but double up on the L in the title. A typo….oh well.
Happy holidays
Whats the point? Boneyard and classic rewind play vh every hour.
What is the best way to let Sirius know?
They have piles of twitter feeds and email address. Who knows which or if any they pay attention to.
MY POINT EXACTLY!!!!! DO THEY EVER LISTEN TO THEIR GRASS ROOTS CUSTOMERS(LOYAL PAYING & SUPPORTING AUDIENCE) I COMMENTED ON THIS BACK IN AUG, 2010

How about Permanently Replacing Grateful Dead,Bruce Springsteen with ,Van Halen,Heart,Pat Benatar,Doobie Brothers,Styx,Aerosmith,GunsnRoses,Fleetwood Mac,Foreigner,Pink Floyd,Genesis,Scorpions,Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers,Bad Company,Yes,Journey, Kenny Wayne Sheppard Band, Supertramp,Triumph,ZZ Top,Def Leppard,Loverboy, The Cars and so on .AT LEAST ROTATE The Artist Channels,to Accomadate the more Classic Rewind Crowd,Definitely an All “Heart” Channel would be Most Welcome & Appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t get why they don’t leave a few channels open for all ” whatever” channels. They could rotate them out every couple of weeks and would generate constant press promo.
“Dedicate this one to the ladies…”
How about a Michael Anthony channel?? Maybe we can let him know that Van Halen is touring without him again…the actual vocal sound of Van Halen’s killer background harmony, not included? Shame on Eddie!
At least they should bring back the “Van Hailstorm” specials that ran daily for a couple years with Ian Christe and Stan Halen. That was beyond cool.
…was on Sirius Buzzsaw R.I.P.
