VAN HALEN - SAMMY HAGAR RETURNS, TOUR STARTS JUNE 11:
Here it is folks...straight from the pages of USA Today Online:
"Ending months of speculation, Van Halen is confirming a summer reunion tour, with singer Sammy Hagar rejoining the band. They hit the road June 11 in Greensboro, N.C., with dates scheduled through August. Tickets go on sale April 3, and pre-sale tickets will be available through AOL starting Wednesday.

VAN HALEN - SAMMY HAGAR RETURNS, TOUR STARTS JUNE 11:
Here it is folks...straight from the pages of USA Today Online:
"Ending months of speculation, Van Halen is confirming a summer reunion tour, with singer Sammy Hagar rejoining the band. They hit the road June 11 in Greensboro, N.C., with dates scheduled through August. Tickets go on sale April 3, and pre-sale tickets will be available through AOL starting Wednesday. A best-of compilation is due in June.
The return of this lineup, in place from 1985 to 1996, follows prolonged public feuding, the band's brief stint with singer Gary Cherone and Eddie Van Halen's battle with cancer. Van Halen has been inactive since 1999, but Hagar co-headlined a 2002 tour with David Lee Roth, VH's original singer.
Among confirmed dates: June 16 in Philadelphia; June 22 in East Rutherford, N.J.; July 10 in Detroit; July 19 in Chicago; Aug. 1 in Denver; Aug. 5 in Phoenix and Aug. 19 in Los Angeles. See all 29 announced dates at life.usatoday.com [Info not online as yet]; additional shows will be posted at van-halen.com."

Ok - so there are the first official dates and confirmation that Sammy Hagar has returned to the band. But I can't let this go without saying a little something.
Is this the absolute lamest possible way of announcing the re-union?
What happened to fanfare, the pomp, the ceremony - what the hell happened to a press release from the band???
This is a band that has said virtually nothing in years, but announces tour dates via USA Today? Fans have been hanging out for anything official from Van Halen since 2001. They have been hanging on ever rumor, every tidbit of info and since I first announced Hagar was coming back to the band last November, news has been leaking ever increasingly, but still nothing from the guys! If now isn't the time - when is?

VAN HALEN went from Greatest Rock Band back in the 70-80's to the RIP OFF BAND off the MILLENIUM>>>>> FUCKERS!

Going on Tour to promote a FUCKING REHASH OF SPAM SONGS.....I Truly wonder of Ed can last a full tour on stage without falling over from the bottle???

FUCK YOU ED!.....LOL

They wont last a summer tour. theres no way. there's no passion there to make good rock n roll. its all about the money now. its a shame too, because they have the god given talent to sound like they used to with the proper singer and they are choosing what will make them less money? A Dave reunion would blast out the stadiums and rock bigger than the Stones coming to your nearest largest venue.

I posted this in the other thread, and I'll repost here:

Fuck this band. Really, just fuck this band.

I'm 22 going on 23 next month, I've never seen Eddie live, and guess what on June 16th when Van Hagar comes to Philadelphia I'M NOT GONNA BE THERE EDDIE THROWING AWAY MY MONEY AND SUPPORTING YOUR BULLSHIT.

I just can't enjoy it with Little Fat Sambo singing and the band playing music I hate.

They are gonna look like such hypocrytes. First Dave, then Sam, then Dave, then Gary and now Sam? Is that normal? Its obvious its not the singer that has the problem. These brothers are fucked. And Mikey does what Mikey's told.

Oh darn, I wish I had shitty-ass AOL too (what a shocker, Time-Warner connected just like BOV2 will be) so I could get in on the pre-sale. Ah what the hell I'll just download AOL now and pay for another ISP for the express purpose of buying Van Hagar tickets in advance. Yippee!!

The only thing we need now is a ceremonial re-opening of the Pasture Dump to get the excitement flowing! Maybe I can brown-nose Brad $tark$ like all the former mods over there will for some backstage passes to meet that fucking fat-ass troll and ask Eddie what his inspiration was for killer songs like "When It's Love" and "Love Walks In."

Look at it this way, you can pay $85.00 to go see Ed play a solo. Why would anyone pay that kind of money to go see Edward Van Halen play a solo? I'm hearing people say they're going so they can hear Ed play. Well guess what you stupid motherfuckers, you are paying a premium to hear Ed play shitty songs, with an even shittier singer.

You've gotta be kidding me. You guys are so delusional. Roth is a joke. He has completely lost whatever talent he might have had at one time. Ed made the right decision because he knew that there was no way that Roth would have lasted through a full tour.

Sammy, meanwhile is as sharp as he has ever been. Ed just realized they never should have let him go in the first place. This is so funny, 18 years ago your boy left one of the greatest bands in the world because his ego convinced him that he was bigger than the band. It took him about 20 minutes to realize that he was nothing without them. You guys have been trying to get him back in the group since then. Wake up, Roth would be lucky to get a gig at a boat show with David Hasselhoff, there's no way ed was gonna give him the call.

Ed can't last through an afternoon without cracking his drunk, fucking melon head open on the underside of a piano.

Who the fuck is he to decide who can or can not last through a tour?!

Hey RothSucks, theres Van Halen the legendary Rock Band, then theres Van Hagar the 80's synth Pop group. If you like all that Duran Duran, Flock of Seagulls, Human League, REO Speedwagon, Journey kinda shit, congratulations ! You got your little pop unit back.

On the other side of the coin is a world of fans that love music like Black Sabbath, Led Zep and Van Halen. What I love *is* no matter what, Van Hagar will never do anything remotely as good as what Van Halen did. Never. To me it makes no difference, I (and most of Australia) igonored Van Hagar the first time around. Whats different now ? Except Spammy is 60 years old ?

After all this time the band owed its fans at the very least a Dave/Sam deal. A reunion with a replacement singer is so fucking lame and boring now, who even cares ?

VAN FUCKING HALF ASSED !

Now bring on some real music please..

No, you are the sad one you dumbass. Why are you posting on a David Lee Roth fansite? I'll tell you why, because you don't have enough of a Spam fanbase to have your own forum. Get the fuck out of here and go gloat somewhere else and tell everyone how great a fucking fat-ass sixty year old (never was) replacement singer, a recluse drunken guitarist sellout, a neck-brace, coattail riding and jealousy ridden drummer and some guy who's had his head up Spam's ass for so many years is going to be the second coming? Talk about crazy?

You probably will be stupid enough to pay $130 for the official XXL Yellow tour jammys at the show?

Sam's got plenty of fans, he's been selling out shows regularly for the last six years. It's just to fun to see you guys whine so much. Your all talkin smack about Ed, but if he had picked Dave, yall know youd be singin ed's praises. But. much to your chagrin, Ed actually knows what he's doin.

God, I feel so sorry for all you cool cats in the US. Im so glad this shit wont be coming to Oz. The half empty venues from their last Australian effort should be still fresh in their brains. hahahahha..

Please, he leaves the most kick ass band in the world to do cheesy beach boy covers and just a gigolo. Roth even had a cheesy lounge act in Vegas for a while. Yeah they really lost their edge when he took off. Anything with Roth that came after the first VH album was pure cheese.

I'm off to talk with some real fans who know good music. But, I just want to say, hang in there. With a little luck and a little optimism, maybe we'll let your boy be a roadie on the reunion tour.

To those who mock Just A Gigolo, do you realize that Dave was had a hit doing swing music 11 years before the short lived swing trend in the 90's. That and Dave's ETAS line-up was a stellar line-up. Even Dave's Vegas band were killer players.

Sammy hasn't been selling out shows for six years dumbass. Hagar's been barely keeping his head above water except when he's on top of your mother and your woman. then her pours tequila on their pussies and eats their snatchboxes.

That's exactly right, it'd be 10 times a bigger deal if Roth was back. June 16th when Van Hagar rolls into Philadelphia I'll be making it a point at the time the show is supposed to be on to watch Largo '82 or US Fest '83 on DVD to listen to Van HALEN.
