VAN HALEN AND ROTH - FINALLY IN 2007: No more teasing. Never tease where Van Halen is concerned...I have information from a highly placed source that Van Halen will likely tour in 2007 with David Lee Roth as frontman.
Negotiations are currently underway to re-unite Van Halen with their original frontman for a tour in 2007 that will take in Amercia and possibly other territories. While nothing in the world of Van Halen is set until the band walk out on stage, I can confirm that negotiations between all parties have been underway for some time, trying to put together a big 2007 re-union tour.
One would presume the tour will feature classic VH era songs only. What I do not yet know is whether this plan includes exiled bass player Michael Anthony. Perhaps Wolfgang will play bass? I'm told these questions will be answered shortly. Van Halen last toured in 2004 with Sammy Hagar, but the tour ended on a sour note and Hagar has not talked to Eddie Van Halen since. What I also know is that there will be no new Van Halen release to go with the tour, such as The Best Of Both World's in 2004. There is no plans for a new compilation or a new studio album - just the tour. More details when available.

I'm not planning on seeing anybody live again since I did my thing as a fan a long time ago. I do know if there is a reunion tour of the original VH next year, it's going to be huge, probably overtaking McCartney with rock fans lennon-legend.
I want you, I want you so bad babe. I want you, I want you so bad. It's driving me mad, it's driving me mad.

Can you truly be that dumb? VH couldnt overtake McCartney at the height of their popularity, how are they going to now?
The whole reunion crap is going to be a disaster. How many shows before Eddie self destructs? Five maybe six? Regardless, we all know its going to happen and they'll all want to kill each other. This is getting worse than Guns And Roses for gods sake.

Hey that actually sounds pretty entertaining. I'm rooting for Dave. Eddie needs someone to kick his arogant a** already.

I have listened to the Band, I like some of their classics tkitna, but what makes you think I never did in the first place. I like Up On Cripple Creek, The Weight, Life Is A Carnival & Stage Fright. I do think The Last Waltz is overrated as a concert documentary since Gimme Shelter, Woodstock & The Song Remains The Same are much better. Probably because Martin Scorcese directed it since it's only average to me & I have heard he's going to be doing the Stones next concert documentary as well, which I plan on seeing when it's released.

Eddie Van Halen has brought his 15-year-old son, Wolfgang, into Van Halen as the veteran rock band's new bass player, a spokesperson told Billboard.com.
Father and son, along with Eddie's drummer brother Alex, have been rehearsing for a 2007 tour, but it is unknown who will serve as the band's vocalist. (Wolfgang's substitution for original bass player Michael Anthony was first reported by news Web site TMZ.com a week ago.)
Rumors continue to swirl that original singer David Lee Roth, who was replaced by Sammy Hagar in the mid-1980s, will return to the fold, despite years of enmity. Roth, who has recently worked as a radio DJ and a paramedic, told Billboard.com in May that he saw it "absolutely as an inevitability."
No details have been provided about the departure of Anthony, a fan favorite who generally kept out of the internecine warfare in the band.
As for the musical acumen of Wolfgang, Eddie Van Halen enthused to Howard Stern in September, "If I excel at the speed of sound, he excels at the speed of light. This kid is just a natural."
Van Halen is one of nine acts on the ballot for the 2007 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.

I knew Eddie wasn't getting along with VH bassist Michael Anthony with rumors & he probably wanted him out of the band years before. It's cool his son Wolfgang will be joining the band for this possible reunion tour of Eddie Van Halen & David Lee Roth next year. If Van Halen is ever inducted into the RNRHOF, since I'm not expecting it this time around, I expect to see only Eddie & brother Alex on the stage. VH has always been about Eddie, will always be about Eddie, no matter who the frontman is at any given moment.
I want you, I want you so bad babe. I want you, I want you so bad. It's driving me mad, it's driving me mad.
Well, he certainly has the same body as Michael Anthony. All he has to do is grow a beard and it will be like he never left. Anyway, it won't be a Van Halen reunion without Michael, so Roth should just say forget it. What's the point. I'm starting to wonder about Eddie's people skills.
