    AOL Music: Van Halen, Diamond Dave Reunite for Tour

    I know...there will be a ton of these in the days to come...BUT...this one has a poll to vote on:pHA!!!

    'To Me, It's Not Rocket Surgery' -- DLR

    David Lee Roth will be teaming up with the Van Halen brothers for their first tour together in more than 20 years, Billboard.com reports.

    By RAY WADDELL, Reuters
    NASHVILLE (Jan. 25) - A deal is almost set for David Lee Roth to return to the Van Halen fold for a summer tour of amphitheaters, sources told Billboard.com.
    Sources say a contract is pending with tour promoter Live Nation to produce a 40-date trek.

    They said a contract could be signed as early as Wednesday for tour promoter Live Nation to produce a 40-date trek, which would mark Roth's first outing with the rock band in more than 20 years.

    Spokeswomen for Roth and the band said they were unable to provide any confirmation.

    Guitarist Eddie Van Halen's 15-year-old son Wolfgang has stepped in for original bassist Michael Anthony in the new incarnation of the group, which also features Eddie's brother Alex Van Halen on drums.

    Van Halen last toured in 2004 with vocalist Sammy Hagar, Roth's replacement, grossing nearly $40 million, according to Billboard Boxscore. Hagar refused to collaborate further with the Van Halen brothers after the tour's completion, although he has consistently played live with Anthony in recent years.

    The warring factions may wind up meeting in public in March when Van Halen is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

    I see it absolutely as an inevitability," Roth told Billboard.com last May of a potential reunion with his ex-bandmates. "To me, it's not rocket surgery."

                  Van Hagar has faded into obscurity.

                  "Time will tell if we stand the test of time." Looks like you didn't Sammy.

                    What I find a hoot, is Mike was fired for hanging with Sammy. LOL! Not only is Van Hagar done and tossed. You can ruin you career by wanting to be affiliated with it.

                    I hope the tour does well actually. It would be a hoot if the Roth reunion is a tottal mind blowing success and the Sammy reunion sucked warthog balls.

                      19% sounds about right. I still can't believe there are actually any people out there that like fat sam. i think Vinnie V hit the nail on the head.
