And the plot thickens...

Or the bullshit gets deeper...depending on how jaded your point of view happens to be....

Here's the actual article.... Lemme just say, a Triumph/VH tour would be out-fucking-standing....

Nothing going on in the world of Van Halen? Not on the surface maybe, but this from a brand new interview with Triumph frontman Rik Emmett:
"We're scheduled to go for a dinner tonight with a couple of guys from Live Nation that have flown into town and want to take us to dinner. I'm sure there's going to be some sort of a pitch. The rumours that have been sort of blowing in the wind are that Van Halen want to go back out yet again next year, but they're going to need some sort of support to make the packaging a little more interesting. Because Triumph hasn't really ever toured in any kind of a nostalgia way, I think Live Nation kind of goes, "Oh, yeah, you guys would be perfect for that." So, we'll see sort of the size and the shape and the glitter of the golden carrots that they have."

Awesome shit, VA!! Now that's an idea I could really sink my teeth into. Triumph rocks...and I've always liked Rik Emmett. Vastly underrated by many, in my opinion.

That would be a hell of a show.

That would be stellar

Two big speculations come out of Gibson.com's new interview with Triumph's Rik Emmett. One big story is that the band may reunite for a major tour next year. The even bigger news it that tour may be with Van Halen.

Here is that part of the interview: We're scheduled to go for a dinner tonight with a couple of guys from Live Nation that have flown into town and want to take us to dinner," Emmett tells Gibson.com. "I'm sure there's going to be some sort of a pitch. The rumors that have been sort of blowing in the wind are that Van Halen want to go back out yet again next year, but they're going to need some sort of support to make the packaging a little more interesting.

"Because Triumph hasn't really ever toured in any kind of a nostalgia way, I think Live Nation kind of goes, 'Oh, yeah, you guys would be perfect for that.' So, we'll see sort of the size and the shape and the glitter of the golden carrots that they have." - The interview covers a lot of other ground, check it out here

A VH-Triumph tour would be awesome.

I heard an interview with Mike Levine a few weeks back on XM...he said they want to tour but would not go out unless they could bring along their big production and make it a Triumph show...they are not interested in doing clubs or small shows.

He also admited the interest in just a Triumph show was not huge enough to warrant big venues...so...this adds up.

I can see this happening...just the fact Rik mentioned it must mean something.
By far the most promising news I heard as far VH goes since the last tour.

Wouldn't surprise me if Ray Daniels was somewhere in the background behind this Tour!
