I predicted it. Van Halen Reunion might not be happening ...

I got a bulletin from Sammy Hagar about the Detroit people saying that the VH reunion might not be happening because of Roth wanting Michael Anthony with them. I did some searching and found this from VH1: I like the Hagar stab that Roth did, if he would only see that VH was at their best with Hagar !!

Not so fast on breaking out those ice skates in hell. (Yes, those were our words we might soon be eating.)

The Van Halen reunion with original singer David Lee Roth — the one Eddie Van Halen described as feeling like "pure magic" after one rehearsal (see "Eddie Van Halen Says Reunion With David Lee Roth For Tour Is 'Pure Magic' ") — might not be happening after all.

A source close to the band, requesting anonymity, told USA Today on Tuesday (February 20) that the 40-city tour — tickets to which were expected to go on sale this weekend — has been postponed indefinitely.

Meanwhile, Eddie, Alex and Wolfgang Van Halen's publicist — who announced the tour February 2 — said reports of a cancellation should be considered rumors until an official statement is released.

In mid-February, Roth spoke of the reunion with Rolling Stone, saying that he hopes it lasts beyond the summer trek. "God willin', and the creek don't run dry, just like Grandma Roth used to say," he told the magazine in typical Roth-speak. "Barring any act of God or Ferrari ... yeah. I have hope and faith, and that's more than just the name of a couple of strippers from Albuquerque."

Regardless, on March 12, Van Halen will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (see "R.E.M., Van Halen, Grandmaster Flash Make Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame") in a ceremony that could feature Van Halen performing with both Roth and his replacement, Sammy Hagar (see "Sammy Hagar's Plans: Beach, Cruise, Sharing Stage With David Lee Roth?").

I don't blame Roth one bit for wanting Anthony with them. That's the best case scenario. Of course, I'm not knowing the particulars with past or present circumstances that went on between these players. In any case, they should make it happen with the original members especially in light of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction. Put away the bickering, put it together, & do it right for crying out loud!!!!

I agree that it should be the four original members. The only problem is Eddy, he is a jackass.

I'm sure it will be worth checking out anyway. And if they do go in the studio, I'm sure that then Mike will get back with them. Besides if Eddie's son couldn't play then he wouldnt be up there w/ them.

YAWN!!! Hopefully they fuck around long enough fo me to grow a mullet and find a cherry z28 camaro and get back in touch with what I once thought I was. Fuck Van-Halen, 1984 will never reoccur and without surgery your wifes titties will never perk up like they did in 84 either.
But I did like that Panama song.
