From Melodicrock:
VAN HALEN LOOKING AT 2007 LIVE DATES:
So, the word has started to leak...Van Halen are setting up a tour for 2007 and should everything fall into place it will start sooner rather than later. David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen and Wolfgang Van Halen have gotten together and parties involved in all aspects of the Van Halen machine are mobilizing to get this tour set up. I can confirm dates and venues are being penciled in. There isn't much more I can say at this time, but safe to say should everything go to plan (and we all know how things can change with these guys), the band should hit the road for US dates starting in September.
I told you it wasn't over!

These guys are as volatile as a bottle of nitro glycerin in an epileptic's hands during an earthquake. If this tour happens, I expect a rain of loaves and fishes the next day. Jed Shaffer ~I'll happily admit I'm wrong on this one. But I don't think I'll need to. |

Remember, the spring tour was a lock, and wow, did that tour ever set the world on fire! And then there was the smooth ride of the Hagar/Roth tour. I wanna believe as much as the next guy, I really do. But how many times to do you have to put your hand on the burner and get singed before you figure out the burner's hot? Not me, not again. Jed Shaffer ~Having Axl Rose as a front-man couldn't create this much drama. |

Jed Shaffer ~Having Axl Rose as a front-man couldn't create this much drama. How about this: if VH doesn't tour with Roth, be it this fall or sometime next year, I will eat horseradish. And I hate horseradish. I will videotape myself eating horseradish and post it online. Of course, if they do tour, you have to eat something equally as gross. All in good fun, though. |

If I was actually gonna bet, two things: 1) your condition of "This fall or sometime next year" gives you WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much. A year and a half, technically. The press release says starting in September. The bet would be "by September".
2) Horseradish? You're gonna bet eating gross foods? No. I bet money.
However, I'm not betting. I have my own rules about betting, and #1 is: Don't bet unless you can influence the outcome to your own favor. I can't, so I won't (the "wanna put money" statement was metaphorical). Besides, I WANT them to tour; I'll mark out as hard as you will if they do. I just don't think they can pull it off.

It's not a true reunoin without Michael Anthony!
Can't we just get Eddie to think clearly for one second? It takes the guy over 20 years to finally realize the insane amounts of cash a tour with Dave could rake in. And even then, he wants to blemish the reunion by putting his kid in the band over Michael Anthony!!
If Wolfgang is seen anywhere near the legendary Jack Daniels bass I'm gonna puke!!!

If I bet, it's so that I can come out victorious and in better shape then I was before. I get no enjoyment out of someone having to wear a dress or eat 20 jalapenos or whatever; I get satisfaction from the $20 I just won. Jed Shaffer ~No Michael Anthony, no real reunion. |

I think the only way to get David Lee Roth and the Van Halen Family to co-exist is to promise each party that after every concert they'd get to beat the hell out of each other for an hour.

You willing to put money on that? Remember, the spring tour was a lock, and wow, did that tour ever set the world on fire! Exactly, the spring tour was a lock and then Edward pulled out and people lost a WHOLE LOT OF CASH because of that. I just think Edward has burned his fans too many times in the past 10 years to be optimisitic any more about VH. As far as I'm concerned, VH died with a small whimper by having the two guys NOT ALLOWED on this "tour" accept the spot on the RRHOF. |
