Dave Says Van Halen's Hot for Combat

TMZ caught up with David Lee Roth in Manhattan last night, and he warned that a potential Van Halen reunion could result in a NASCAR-style wreck. Or a "Jerry Springer"-like brawl. Or even a "Knots Landing"-esque bitchfight!

Diamond Dave, looking dapper and well-coifed outside of Marquee, said that he's excited that Van Halen was nominated for a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but wondered whether the band would spontaneously combust if they reunited. For months, the band has hinted at a reunion, but Roth admitted in May that he hasn't spoken to guitarist Eddie Van Halen for almost two years.

"A Van Halen reunion is a lot like NASCAR -- are you there to see the winner or the crash?" mused Dave. "In this aspect, we're a lot closer to "Jerry Springer" meets "Knots Landing, which, to me, sells T-shirts." And probably tickets too."

Agreed. But he's not confirming anything other than it may or may not work........

You guys are missing an important part of that quote..."which, to me, sells T-shirts." Sounds as promising as anything I've heard. That's the old Van Halen spirit if you ask me.

Dave's just stating something we've all known for years, so don't take it too negatively.

Its a new post over there :
Im not believing this :

I find it very interesting that you don't hear ANYTHING about how David Lee Roth is HIV positive. If anyone wants to investigate this, look to what happened in Seattle a few years back when he was headlining a summer music festival. A nurse was hired to give him his insulin shots was NOT informed of his HIV status. She ended up nicking herself with the needle and then was told that Roth was HIV positive. That's how I found out, do to the absolute panic of the orgainzers of the festival. Think of the good it would do if someone like Roth would come forward with his status!

It's pure bullshit.

That article has since been removed from TMZ and there's NOTHING at all on Google to support it.

You can all breathe easier now, the Diamond's still shining brightly.

Who are these reporters asking questions of Dave? It never occured to them to ask about Eddie's quote from last month? I bet none of them ever heard of Ed saying the ball is in Dave's court....

[Calderone]

Nice...
just a stoopid bad rumour

[BrownSound1]

Plus, I've never heard of Dave taking insulin shots or being diabetic either. Brett Michaels on the other hand.....

'Nuff said. Sho' 'Nuff nah! That's the truth-ah!!

Confused as to why it was mentioned that in May (assuming of 2006) Roth mentioned he hadn't spoken to Eddie in over two years, what with it being 8 months later, and all the rumors started flying around the end of the summer...

Agreed that Dave confirmed nothing other than a reunion being possible.
