They "reunited" with Dave. But, if, as the press reports say they are doing a "reunion" gig at the Grammys in February, it can only mean one thing. Reunion with Mikey this time.
Unless some idiot at the Grammys has his head up his fucking ass and decided to claim it was going to be a "reunion" gig, with Wolfy on bass.
I swear if they do tour next year with the original 4, I am going to see as many shows as I can. Certainly after not seeing a single show on their 2007 tour.Comment

I think as far as the Grammys are concerned, it will be the announcement of Van Halen's reunion album (rather than tour) with David Lee Roth. The fans know it's not a true CVH reunion, but the industry is focussed on Dave. Sadly, I don't think this has anything to do with Mike. But I'm still amped for the current Van Halen.Comment

From VHND.... Van Halen to make announcement at Grammy Nominations November 30th?
The website Hitfix.com is speculating that VAN HALEN will be the band rumored to make a “special live announcement” at the November 30th Grammy Nominations Concert in Los Angeles!
From Hitfix.com [VHND's emphasis is in bold]:
Ludacris and Sugarland join Lady Gaga and Jason Aldean at Grammy Nominations Concert
“So is it Van Halen? That’s our guess. A very cryptic message from The Recording Academy, the folks who bring you the Grammys, came out today, announcing more acts for the line-up for The Grammy Nominations Concert Live. The hour-long program airs Nov. 30, live from Los Angeles’ Nokia Theater, and, in addition to announcing nominations for the Feb. 12 Grammy Awards, the special will feature appearances by a number of acts.
Added to the previously named Lady Gaga and Jason Aldean are Ludacris, Lupe Fiasco and Sugarland (we wonder if we’re in for a reprise of Ludacris joining Aldean for the rap on “Dirt Road Anthem?”)
Toward the end of the announcement, the Recording Academy slipped in that the TV show will “feature a special live announcement from a truly iconic group regarding their historic band reunion set to take place” at the Grammys.
Here’s why we think it’s Van Halen: the band — i.e. the David Lee Roth-fronted version — has recorded new material with John Shanks, although when we asked the producer about it a few months ago, he buttoned up tight, but he smiled big. Plus, other outlets, like The Hollywood Reporter, assert that the group has already inked with Columbia Records for the new set, although the label isn’t talking. So… if there’s a finished album, or nearly finished album, in the can, the Grammys would be the perfect place to debut the first single.
My mind instantly assumed it was a rock band, but it could be some other genre.”
This was followed up by a tweet from the official Grammy’s twitter account later that day:
TheGRAMMYs:
Who do u predict the reuniting band will be @ #GRAMMYnoms? grm.my/vH7p3Y Does this hint make u wanna “Jump” & “Dance the Night Away”?
To summarize, “The iconic group” will make a live ANNOUNCEMENT during the Grammys Nomination Concert (Nov. 30th) about their reunion. The Grammy’s tweet pretty much leaves NO doubt that the mystery band is indeed VAN HALEN. Is this just dishonest hype? Or will Van Halen really appear at the Grammy Nominations Concert on Nov. 30th?
So unless the Grammys are lying (hard to imagine!), November 30th is the date that Van Halen will publicly announce their NEW ALBUM AND TOUR!Comment

Didn't they "reunite" a few years ago?
Can someone please tell me why the VH pr machine cunt-inues to do shit like this...
Just make the fucking announcement...jesus h. christ...
I can just see the braintrust working all of this out...
I mean...who in the fuck is in the room saying, "Hey, we need build-up and a surprise announcement for all of our fans..."
Hey fuckheads...IT'S BEEN 27ish YEARS SINCE YOU FUCKING MORONS PUT OUT AN ALBUM...WITH 12 BREAK-UPS...AND SO MANY BLOWN FUCKING ANNOUNCEMENTS THAT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO COUNT...INCLUDING ANOTHER ONE AT A FUCKING AWARDS SHOW THAT DIDN'T GO SO FUCKING WELL...
Jesus Christ...why will these fuckers not wake up..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

Just when you thought a group of people couldn't be more out of touch with a fan base..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

This is not the VH PR machine.
This is another attempt at playing hard ball. It is worth a consideration.
Nothing against the Grammy's or any Certificate of Achievement, but it is no Nobel Prize.
It is rather like charity work. Moreover, Charity work is usually a good thing.
But I have often wondered, why the Grammy Awards do not have a standardized fund."I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. - Some come from ahead and some come from behind. - But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. - Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!" ~ Dr. SeusssigpicComment

A new VH date of hope. I'm looking forward to see them.Comment

As far as "reunion" announcements could go, this still has all of the validity of the Beatles getting together sometime in 1975 with that guy from the Monkees on the drums.

As with all things Van Halen, I will believe it AFTER it happens and it is clearly in my rearview.
Danger in the rearview mirror, there's trouble in the wind....
Badness bringing up the rear, the menace is loose again!

After pruning out the media bullshit... the statement above appears to be the heart of the noise. I like things literal and simple... If I read this correct minus the fluff, we get:it was revealed that the Grammy Nominations Concert Live will feature "a special, live announcement from an iconic group regarding their historic band reunion set to take place" on the Grammy stage on February 12, 2012.
On November 30, 2011... a live announcement to be made about... a historic band reunion... to take place at the Grammy's on February 12, 2012.
Odds favor the Dumbass Hoodwink PR prank from these bozos to be 3/4's CVH and Ed's kid... neither historic nor a reunion. Yawn... we ain't that dumb Janie.
The only real option would be Biff Malibu... aka Michael Anthony on that stage with Wolfie and his mommy in the audience. Right...
But you heard it here first, knotheads... The Mighty Van Halen has found Waldo and the historic reunion is a go!!
For the historical impaired... note the brat under Dave's finger... the original Waldo.

Watch. It'll turn out to be Aerosmith (with a freshly banged-up Steven Tyler), N Stink or Sharon Osbourne announcing that Ozzy has finally reunited with himself.
