Van Halen Reunited

All you rockers out there knew it was going to happen sooner or later... Van Halen looks like they will be going back on tour this fall (after Eddie gets out of rehab) with their original frontman David Lee Roth. You can check out the article on Billboard here.

According to the article, it appears as though Michael Anthony won't be on bass - Eddie's son, Wolfgang, will be playing bass for the tour. That would actually be a pretty cool thing - playing on stage with your dad.

Anyway, if you're a guitarist you care. If you aren't, well enjoy the trivia anyway. :)

Any of you ever see these guys live in concert? When my wife was pregnant with our first, we caught a show with Hagar as the lead and it was awesome. Never saw them with Roth. What's your story?

Peace.

Mikey-san,

I saw them when they were promoting "Women and Children First" in 1980, Dave Lee Roth on lead vocals...

Amazing!

It was a stadium show, opening act was Sammy Hagar, then Pat Benatar, then Van Halen, and finally the Doobie Brothers (their 1st farewell tour). The DBs got booed off the stage -- who wants to follow Van Halen?!?

Still the best show I have ever seen.
