BILLBOARD: Van Halen Reuniting With Roth For Tour

January 24, 2007, 4:20 PM ET

Ray Waddell, Nashville

Sources tell Billboard.com a contract could be signed as soon as today for Live Nation to produce a 40-date amphitheatre tour by Van Halen this summer, with original frontman David Lee Roth back in the fold for the first time in more than 20 years.

As previously reported, guitarist Eddie Van Halen's 15-year-old son Wolfgang has stepped in for original bassist Michael Anthony in the new incarnation of the group, which also features drummer Alex Van Halen.

Van Halen last toured in 2004 with vocalist Sammy Hagar, grossing nearly $40 million, according to Billboard Boxscore. Hagar refused to collaborate further with Eddie and Alex Van Halen after the tour's completion ("I don't get along with Eddie anymore, and that's all there is to it," he told Billboard.com in August 2005), although he has consistently played live with Anthony in recent years. The warring factions may wind up meeting in public in March when Van Halen is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

<I>"I see it absolutely as an inevitability,"</I> Roth told Billboard.com last May of a potential reunion with his ex-bandmates. "To me, it's not rocket surgery. It's very simple to put together. And as far as hurt feelings and water under the dam, like what's-her-name says to what's-her-name at the end of the movie 'Chicago' -- 'So what? It's showbiz!' So I definitely see it happening."

Hagar recently told Billboard.com he was concerned Eddie Van Halen was asking too much of his son to have him join the band and promptly perform in front of thousands of people every night.

"That's a lot of pressure for Wolfie. Just 'cause he's Eddie's son doesn't mean he can go out and play in arenas and perform and entertain an audience for two hours," he said. "I would love to see Eddie and Alex get behind Wolfie, with a kid of his age singing, and produce the record for him and help him launch a career. I'd rather see it go that way than come out and say 'Wolfie's the bass player in Van Halen and maybe singing, too.' Van Halen's got way too much history to have that put on him."

I heard about this at Christmas, can't wait to see a city line-up.

Nice!!!!!!!!!!

I always liked Van Halen better than Van Hagar, except when David Lee Roth would fucking babble for 5 minutes between songs...

Maybe, Montrose can be on the underbill, since I always thought Sammy sang best with that band - pshaw, right...like that's gonna happen.

I was pondering who would front VH's tour this summer, and Diamond Dave was on my short list, but holy hannah, he looks like a crackhead these days!!

I guess if Keith Richards can do it, so can Dave?!?

Only time will tell ...

Zebra · 01-26-2007, 12:55 AM

No Michael Anthony I suppose? That would be a shame.

Nm.. just saw it mentioned in the article. Must pay closer attention...

escorpio · 01-26-2007, 01:18 AM

Eddie Van Halen is the dumbest motherfucker in rock n roll. He suffers from alcoholic dementia.

reynold · 01-26-2007, 01:20 AM

This is something to look forward to.

Steve Awesome · 01-26-2007, 01:24 AM

Eddie cured cancer using unorthodox means, apparently, or so he said in an interview on Howard Stern.

What the other big reunion this year? The Police? I love the 80s!

Jace · 01-26-2007, 01:28 AM

um....uh....they tried this once before and david lee roth was kicked off before anything even started because he was so obnoxious

doesn't ANYONE remember that?

TexasDreams · 01-26-2007, 01:36 AM

Did Eddie Van Halen need to raise funds for another hip replacement, and David Lee Roth for some new hair plugs???

I recall that...I'm not holdin' my breath for this 40-date tour to see completion.

I'll likely go *if* they do a Toronto gig - I saw'em back in '84 at Maple Leaf Gardens and it was easily the best concert I saw in the 80s (and I saw a lot back then).

tony286 · 02-12-2007, 08:17 PM

Would rather see genesis and police, the actual original guys.

Phoenix · 02-12-2007, 08:21 PM

please let them come to toronto...i guess a few h undred a ticket is ok

Spunky · 02-12-2007, 08:21 PM

I don't think the kid would be able to hold up.not the same without Anthony

Profits of Doom · 02-12-2007, 08:34 PM

I really wonder how they are going to pull this off. Even if they do get along, David Lee Roth's voice is shot to shit. I saw him perform some Van Halen songs recently with a country band backing him and you couldn't even tell it was him...he looks like he is 100 and sounds like he is 200.

Hopefully he was just joking around when he said that and his brain is not actually that fried. Sounds kinda like Ricky from Trailer Park Boys.
