Title: David Lee Roth Back With Van Halen
Post by: mrtonguetwista on February 03, 2007, 07:52:47 PM

LOS ANGELES - The rumors were true. Van Halen will reunite with original singer David Lee Roth for a summer tour of North America.

"I am very excited to get back to the core of what made Van Halen," guitarist        Eddie Van Halen said in a statement posted Friday on the band's Web site announcing a 40 city tour. No specific dates have been named.

It will be the first time that Roth performs live with the band since 1984, when he was replaced by        Sammy Hagar. A brief reunion with Roth in 1996 resulted in two new songs but no tour.

Original bassist        Michael Anthony will not be a part of the reunion. Late last year he was replaced by Eddie Van Halen's 15-year-old son Wolfgang.

On March 12 Van Halen will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at a ceremony in New York.

I'll be surprised if this lasts half the tour.

Eddie's too drunk nowadays to be as good as he once was, but I'll still go see it. I mean, how many opportunities like this will come up?
