I guess I can blog about it, they have ACTUALLY had a gig!
Van Halen Rocks Again.
Not that they are coming to my neck of the woods, but I still feel like it would be hard to top the Van Hagar tour we saw a few years ago.

Van Halen in the news again
Ok, I am all for self improvement but come on... After all the fan support over the years & they weren't even planning on attending the Hall of Fame ceremony & the tease of the possible tour now off (postponed, called off)... I can't take it!
At least Sammy says he'll be there with former bassist Michael Anthony & expects David Lee Roth to be there as well. In an interview by Joel Selvin, Chronicle Senior Pop Music Critic SAMMY Post-Van Halen, Hagar's been riding high on his own tequila. Now comes rock enshrinement. Hagar gives a witty look into his post Van Halen life & current business ventures.
I'll admit it, I am a Sammy fan, I liked their music better, but that could be because that was on the radio more when I was younger. I think prior to my discovery of a classic rock radio station I had only ever heard Jump & Panama. So I am biased, plus Dreams is like my favorite chill out song. But dudes, we love your music (except for the gary thing, but all was forgiven with your reunion tour in 2004)
All I have to say is this... I have worked with plenty of people I don't like. You suck it up for the pay check...if you don't want the pay check then you quit. You don't walk around saying that you are best buds & gonna do great things. I don't think any reasonable fan expects the band to get along. WE DON'T CARE, just tour!!! I need a reason for a date with my dh...
At Van Halen News there is a brief very ambiguous statement from Ed Van Halen about him checking himself into rehab. He doesn't say for what, just that he is. I wish him a speedy recovery from whatever problem he has.
An a way cooler note...Velvet Revolver gets to induct Van Halen & will be preforming a medley of Van Halen music. I wish I could go, I wish they'd have the ceremony at the Hall of Fame, Cleveland is way closer than NYC is...

Hall of Fame Press Room
"The 2007 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, R.E.M., The Ronettes, Patti Smith and Van Halen were chosen by the 600 voters of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation.

Add that to the Van Halen "Reunion" with David Lee Roth and I am one excited fan!
Ok, so no M. Anthony, not sure I feel comfortable watching a 15 year old on stage... and goodness knows if they will make it past rehersals but THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE!!!
