Van Halen Machine Almost Ready To Roll!!

[John Ashcroft]

But flappo, how will I know if it's love???

I'm looking forward to the Van Halen/Sammy Hagar reunion even though I would personally like to see Eddie Van Halen & David Lee Roth onstage one more time for old VH fans like myself but all this constant whining by some fans is PATHETIC.

Not to burst your bubble, Rothman, but most people on these boards don't give a damn if Ed-Wino, Alex-Braceboy, and Michael-Munchkin tour with or not. As for me, the RUSH tour will be the highlight of my summer.

Er, excuse me BBB i have no bubble to burst! I'm merely reporting info that i have heard of the once great band that DLR was in as have many others on these boards.

I couldn't give a fat frog's arse who they tour with either unless its Dave.

Piss on Van Halen.

times change, circumstances change, etc.


but doesn't it seem a little odd that eddie was unwilling to do the "nostalgia" tour with dave without a new album to support; but, according to this, is willing to do a nostalgia tour with sam, without a new album to support?


my gut is that ed still feels the same. he's unwilling to go out and tour solely on old material.

VAN HALEN MACHINE ALMOST READY TO ROLL:
Los Angeles radio station KLOS-FM have been running a Van Halen teaser campaign all day, promising exclusive Van Halen news, also adding a teaser banner to their website: www.955klos.com/home.asp
The banner is pictured below.
Sadly the station hasn't made any announcment after teasing fans all day. Were they asked not to, or are they just dicking fans around? The next 24 hours should bring some answers.
The facts however, are clear. Sammy Hagar is back in the band - as I said in November last year when first contact was initiated and a plan for 2004 put in place.
There is a tour that is almost fully planned and booked that will take place over the coming American summer. Coinciding with the tour, of following it, will be Van Halen's Best of Volume 2, featuring new tracks with vocalist Sammy Hagar at the helm.
The exact release date is unknown, with various sources suggesting May, August and September. I was told September, but that could easily change, as I also confirmed recently the new tracks were due for completion at the end of February.
Various leaks from tour promoters and venues have been surfacing, with more this week.
It seems an official announcement is due the week of March 15. That's to be confirmed, but Monday March 15 is the hot date right now. It's suggested tickets could be on sale by the end of this month!
In further news surfacing today, industry magazine Hits has provided another tidbit of info. It was Hits that announced Irving Azoff would manage Van Halen back in November - the same time I announced Sammy's return.
Today the magazine added this to their website:
"MONSTERS OF ROCK In non-restructuring-related business, Warner Special Markets is said to have negotiated a deal with Van Halen for a new greatest-hits package featuring three new songs. A tour to support the album is also said to be in the works, reportedly to include Sammy Hagar. While still unconfirmed, some close to the action confide that they think the album and tour will happen."
So folks...it's all good for Van Halen fans. The speculation and rumors will soon be replaced with facts. Stay tuned for updates.

So where is the VAN HALEN machine you say is ready to roll??
While this may be good news for Kraft Cheese, the cheeseheads in the frozen tundra of Green Bay, and Pfizer Pharmaceuticals who makes those lactose intolerance pills, how the hell is this good news for VAN HALEN fans??

There is no Van HALEN machine without the Toastmaster General -
END OF STORY!
