Launch Radio Networks reports: VELVET REVOLVER has been tapped for VAN HALEN's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The band will perform in VAN HALEN's place, and singer Scott Weiland and guitarist Slash will speak on VAN HALEN's behalf. For now, it doesn't look like David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar will join VELVET REVOLVER onstage, and Michael Anthony hasn't commented yet. It's still unknown whether Eddie and Alex Van Halen will attend the ceremony.

Apparently, Van Halen can't set aside their differences for even a small 10 minute performance for their own induction into the RnR Hall of Fame. This is most strange as they can take a few pictures for Rolling Stone but can't play together. Either way, Velvet Revolver is a bad ass choice to play the Van Halen staples.
