Van halen reunion tour

Yep, GFY needed yet another Van halen reunion tour thread.

I was fortunate to see Van Halen at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto for their 1984 tour, their last with Roth.

Since then they've mostly gone to hell in a handcart with the likes of Sammy Hagar and Gary Charone behind the mic.

Van Halen with Roth was played at the parties they called the cops on. Van Halen with Hagar was played at the parties of people who called the cops.

Its been a long 23-year drought.

Roth once said of Hagar - "Every night Sammy will have to sing Jump. I'll never have to sing a Sammy Hagar tune."

If the fall tour doesn't collapse for one reason or another, I plan on taking in at least one show...hopefully, if only for the nostalgic factor. It'll be interesting to see the band harmonics without Michael Anthony, though. Too bad he's not in the lineup.
