OH FFS: Van Halen Australian Tour 2013 Looks Likely (With BOTH Singers ?!)

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Thanks for the Blabbermouth story Va Beach...it's more relevant to what we are talking about here. I think the Vegas Magazine story was more about some club he's got there - can't even remember now. I think it's pretty obvious this rumour was planted with the Aussie radio media by you know who, to generate some publicity and just to stir the pot...

He owns a Cabo Wabo bar there, my son's ex-girlfriend used to work there.....

and just to stir the pot...

This "pot" now with 256 posts, has been stirred to a turn. Glad to say it can be poured down the kitchen sink and the disposer can be switched the fuck on.

So glad I can stop warming myself up to what I thought might be a touring group hug. Still like to see the inevitable Mike curtain call some day. But for now, Wolf's still killin' it. Let's get this year rollin'!!

[Halen High]

Well said mate!

[DLR Bridge]

Well said mate!

Got my fingers crossed that they make their way down to you ol' pal!

[atomicpnk47]

Nothing more to see here. Move along....

[Halen High]

Got my fingers crossed that they make their way down to you ol' pal!

Cheers...I think this could finally be the year.

The duo have been seen together chumming around but will they really share the stage together?

"Chumming around?" Right. Seen where, and by whom?

Why do I get the feeling that the noob has some connection to the scalper website?

Dave's in Japan... who cares where Hagar is. Clearly both are not anywhere near each other.

[fryingdutchman]

I heard Pete Best will be replacing Alex on drums for the Australian leg of the tour.

Legendary rocker Sammy Hagar

I stopped reading after this...

[Cato]

the most suitable title for Hagar is "a legendary American local singer".

[BenJammin]

OK, here is Mike's big secret.... Which nobody gives a fuck about, but anyway....

SAMMY HAGAR 'Rehearsing And Writing Songs' With WABORITAS - Feb. 2, 2013
Legendary rocker Sammy Hagar (CHICKENFOOT, VAN HALEN, MONTROSE) has revealed to Las Vegas Magazine that he is currently in the studio with his group the WABORITAS "rehearsing and writing songs." He added: "We're putting something out this year and we'll probably go out and do 25-30 shows."

Hagar revealed in a holiday video message that CHICKENFOOT will take 2013 off to focus on other projects. He said: "Joe's [Satriani, CHICKENFOOT guitarist] doing his thing and Chad's [Smith, CHICKENFOOT drummer] just coming off a [RED HOT] CHILI PEPPERS tour and he's not gonna wanna go into the studio. So I think Mikey [CHICKENFOOT/ex-VAN HALEN bassist Michael Anthony] and I and the WABOS, we'll just go out and do some stuff." That "stuff" will likely include "more shows, maybe a proper tour" and possibly even a new record."

CHICKENFOOT recently reissued its gold-selling 2009 self-titled debut as a double-disc set. The new version features bonus live tracks recorded on the group's tour behind its sophomore studio effort, "III"

CHICKENFOOT's most recent touring lineup included legendary drummer/musician Kenny Aronoff, who was filling in for Smith while Chad was on the road with RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS.

Wow, still acting like he is relevant. Incredulous. About as relevant as Kip Winger.

Wouldn't really matter an iota to me if Roth and Hagar co-fronted a Van Halen tour, trading off lead singer duties...

It's not like there's some mandate that makes it obligatory to go see such a thing...and even though these rumors in the thread are assumedly bullshit, I wouldn't put it outside the realm of possibility. If I look at Van Halen's history, they had twenty years (1985 to 2006, with a very, very short period in the middle of 1996 put aside) of consistently fucking up...far more years of a continual stream of bad choices than they had years of excellence...

Just because the last 6 years have been better than the twenty odd years that came before them doesn't mean one necessarily believes the Van Halens have broken their addiction to making bad decisions.

IMO the show would be a train wreck from a CVH fan point of view: UP for Dave's portion of the set, and then way DOWN (like, suicidal) for the Mayor McCheese portion. It doesn't make any sense.
