Billboard.com is reporting that a Van Halen “reunion” tour with original front man David Lee Roth will be happening in 2007, presumably to be kicked off at the 2007 induction ceremony for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The reason I say “almost” is, a few months back, band “brain-trust” Eddie Van Halen booted Michael Anthony and replaced him with Eddie’s own 15-year-old son Wolfgang because Michael sided with ousted replacement front-man Sammy Hagar.
I am not holding my breath that this reincarnation of Van Halen will turn out any better than the average Hollywood revivals, which is a damn shame because the original Van Halen flat-out ROCKED. Eddie knows how to run everybody off, and David has been off the deep end since 1984.
