Van Halen To Reunite?

According to Australian website MelodicRock.com, the mighty Van Halen are set to reunite with complete lineup for a full tour in 2007.

Negotiations are currently underway to re-unite Van Halen with their original frontman for a tour in 2007 that will take in Amercia and possibly other territories. Negotiations between all parties have been underway for some time, trying to put together a big 2007 re-union tour, according to the site.

However, there will be no new material to go with the tour so the tour will only feature classic Van Halen songs. There is no plans for a new compilation or a new studio album -- just the tour.

Van Halen last toured in 2004 with Sammy Hagar, but the tour ended on a sour note and Hagar has not talked to Eddie Van Halen since.

excellent

[kryptonite22]

this rings of 'cash-in'

but hey.

[Fargalas]

Could be fun.

Or maybe Lee Roth and Van Halen will attack each other on stage in the middle of a set due to their deep hatred of each other. That would be more fun.

[KYLE_2K]

october 23 2004 vancouver was awesome
now im gonna have to see them again!

[metalhead_365]

hell yeah that could be so sick the worlds been missing a bit of eddies shredding \m/

[Metalology]

WOO!

[silencesoloud]

I love Van Halen, I really do, but how many reunions are there going to be? I'm ready for some new material from them, I mean, what have they done in the last 10 years but bicker and reunite? I wish they'd resolve their differences and go back to taking over the world.

[SGRocker407]

Van Halen reunion tour? Sounds wicked cool.

[nik_I]

flippin' awesome!!

[eviledge87]

hmm, if this happens i must see them, but i will believe it when i get to the concert

[PEACEXLUVXMUSIC]

i saw sammy hagar last week and he did a set of old van halen stuff, but it wasnt the same w/out eddie

[the_white_bunny]

uhhh sammy hagar was awsome i saw him 2 times i was at the VH show in san jose eddie can kick ass on guitar but hes not the same.... he dosent jump around and do his thing he just layed there and played.... alex dosnt try either. now DLR cant sing at all.

[j_schneider]

ya last time in 2004 hagar bitched at evh for being a drunk the whole time and not playing very good so... ill believe it when it happens
i would awesome tho

[Deth2Emo]

[guitar_lvr]

[classicrocker10]

YES!!! i've just gotten back into van halen. i went through a long period when i didnt like them now i'm gettin back into them they might go on tour!!!! that freakin rox my sox! please come to the south!

[Dewey1040]

BEST NEWS OF THE YEAR. i didnt go to the sammy hagar one because it was with sammy hagar but this one i am going to. Maybe Shinedown will open for them again that way it will be my two favorite bands.

[axe_2_grind]

Hmm. This reeks of "lets line our pockets", but if it actually goes down, cool! I also heard the last show in San Jose kinda sucked. Supposedly Eddie (who claimed at the time to be sober and loving life) was totally wasted and depressed, and started crying on stage. I also heard that Michael Anthony would've kicked his ass if Sammy hadn't stepped between them.

Now without Sammy, things'll be that much more interesting. If Eddie and Dave don't suffer a clash of egos by the end of the tour, THEN I'll be impressed.

Van Halen had a good run, and alot of good music from both eras, but I think they're starting to fade, mainly due to Eddie's problems.

[Cheesepuff]

HOLY SH*T! THIS IS SO COOL!!! GO 2 ASIA PLS? Then maybe do a new studio album!

[Cathedral]

YEYS!

[garden of grey]

[BlueZephyr]

I love Van Halen and I hope they put out a live album or something at least.

[Cobalt Blue]

kick ass... i heard Eddie was to big of a drunk to tour again.. perhaps he's gotten his shit together recently..

when i saw them in hamilton on the 04 tour... like i thought Eddie was waisted, but i knew somebody sitting in the golden ring, and at one point eddie passed around his drink and it was like lemon juice. not a beer like it apeared.. so i dunno, he basically layed down and played a 20 minutes mind blowing solo.. so drunk or not it kicked ass... and with Roth 100X more kick ass.

[Metal Zone12]

Sweet I hope they come by my city

You're right. Well, new people do, but the likes of Metallica, this tour... people you want to see as you know they'll not be touring much longer.... always skip us. Apart from "Guns N Roses". What a farce. I paid near enough £40 for that ticket and they only came on at 10, and Axl was on for all of half an hour. The rest of the time was spent costume changing and having the guitarists play jazz chord wank for several minutes. But I digress.... This can only be good news about the VH reunion.

[griff1987]

finally somebody good touring, theres nobody around at the minute that i would pay to see

[Gitter_Wizard]

IM GONNA BE PISSED IF THIS DOESNT HAPPEN!

[leaping badger]

checked

[eddiefan001002]

AWESOMEEEEE. I went to the 04 tour in Atlanta and they were awesome... i wonder what'll happen this timne around

[E V H 5150]

If this tour does not happen, I will burn every single Van Halen CD, and all their memorobilia. And I will film it all. And then I will break apart my EVH-style Squire. If this tour does happen, and I cannot get a ticket, no, let's not think about that. 2007 is going to be a damn good year. And they BETTER be coming somewhere near southern WIsconsin, or the wrath of GOD shall fall upon those who you call "Eddie", "Dave", "Alex", and "Mike".

[E V H 5150]

I just thought of something. If a man and women reunite, they have make-up sex. Does that mean that Dave and Eddie...let's not think about that...

[acdc_rocks_1992]

they should come to canada to lol that would be awsome

[bluesblaster]

sounds great but with how much EVH and DLR fought before i wont believe it until i see it

[joshjhasarrived]

HELL YES!!!!!

[SlashIsGod091]

i hope to god that this reunion tour happens! i;ve been waiting for this for years. i didnt go see them back in '04, nor did i want to. cuz honestly, i cant stand sammy hagar. david lee roth was a much better singer and front man. i just hope they come to pennsylvania!

[Porkchops2112]

Hells Yeah

[EddieVanAidan]

Oh cool!!! i hope they come to england cus i think they will kick ass where eva they go especially with dave cus its different with sammy.

Leaping Badger - if you check this - would you join me if they came near us. You know you want to...

[robcarty]

Hell yeah, Come 2 Download!!!!!

[riff_randle]

Thank f***in' Jesus. Sammy Haggar is the biggest queer ever. Diamond dave is the only frontman for Van Halen. I'm sure tickets will be about a bajillion dollars a piece, but I'm goin' anyway.

[Zoso-Zep]

They didn't mention that Micheal Anthony wont be on this tour, instead EVH's son, Wolfgang will be on bass. Not one to bitch, but this tour can only be bittersweet without Micheal Anthony.

Thats GAY! I don't want to see VH with Eddies fat son on bass. Also, I know Sam wasn't the original, but he's not that bad. At least he's not an arogant jerk like DLR and EVH.

[!@#$]

yeah that'll last

[CustomCustom]

werd get a tick to one of the early dates. But if they make it to the east coast Ill definately go and make it my 5th VH show.

[METALMANIACMIKE]

HELL YEAH, VAN HALEN REUNION WITH DAVE! I HOPE THEY DO REUNITE BECAUSE I HATE SAMMY HAGAR!

[GuitarGod610]

They need to just give up and call it quits already. They should have ended on a high note several years ago, but now that luxury is no longer afforded to them.

[scarfacesuit]

i think it's amazing that they're not making new songs. classic bands trying to make new material is really hard and rarely successful. but for a tour, i'm definitely gonna see them if DLR and EVH are back on stage together

Anthony is currently touring with Hagar, And I'm perfectly OK with having three Van Halens on stage. Michael Anthony is not a great bassist. He doesn't stand out remotely in the world of bassists. Yes, I'd rather have him there, but Wolfgang is fine with me.

[permanentmarker]

please come to ireland

[JunkheadJunkie]

Pimpage! Must...see...VAN HALEN....LIVE!

[thatoneguy99999]

I really would like to see them...but I also think they need to call it quits. Don't great me wrong, Eddie is one of my favorite guitarists, but they are getting pretty old. All they are doing is touring and playing old songs. Personally I think Eddie should start a new band, something new and really different.

[Pistol_N_Petal]

Best reunion in Rock so far

[TeenBite]

Funniest thing I ever heard anyone say to me: "who's the guitarist in Van Halen"?

There was rumor of Eddie, Alex and Wolfgang touring together, i guess they are now, but anything with eddie, even his own band, would be sweet.

I'd be stoked to see Van Halen touring again, especially if there were a chance of seeing them with David Lee Roth as front man.

[Vinura]

awesome

[HC-Deathroll]

THEY HAVE TO COME TO CANADA, IF THEY DO THIS!!!
If They reunite, I will literally piss my pants.

[Rebourne]

Cool, but why do they have to go into negotiations lol?

Eh... Whatever, as long as it happens, 'cause my hopes are way up now.

[angusyoungwanab]

well i dunno about this, but why would only an Austrailian website know about something this big? i dont think it'll happen.

[notoriousnumber]

Itd be great if they did reunite, but I dont think they will. One website isnt enough to convince me.

[kryptonite22]

Awesome news if they are, but it's an australian website so don't get your hopes up lol

[Dave_Mc]

awesome. they'd better hit ireland. They more than likely won't though.

Who?

This would be one of the best reunions ever. Please re-unite!

Hell ya!! I cant wait for it. Eddie rules!!
To all those Van Halen haters out there, F**k you

[fluffylump2]

if it works out, then it'll be amazing. David Lee Roth is the only singer for Van Halen. but the article was written terribly.

[Abby123456]

I would love to see this work

[Chickenjedi]

Hell froze over for the Eagles, why not Van Halen? Who's next? Sting, Stuart Copeland, Andy Summers, could hell freeze over for the Police?

[Bpags868]

This is waaaaay too good to be true. I practically fainted when i saw this news yesterday. Come to Chicago!!!! Eddie Rock On!!! \m/

[swerock]

awesome

Sorry, but, uh...


WOOOOO!

[Jondy]

Niiiiice. except i probably can't afford to go. college has this way of making your money disappear.

[robrocker]

they rock so hard!!!!! this is awesome

[luv2jam]

As much as I would love to see VH back together It probably won't happen Diamond Dave has a way of pissing people off.

[tcclaassen]

Man I feel like an old man I saw them in 1979 on their first tour. Well lets get the zimmers out and show these kids how to ROCK!

[cant.deny.777]

sounds good. as long as they leave the scene on a high note. it would suck to have a great band leave on a low just because people wanted them to reunite for a tour. but it should be good.

[creedals]

YYYYYEEEEESSSSS!!!!!

[Spartan 117]

man there not gonana get back together... or at least for very long

[inlovewithmusic]

HELL YEEEEEAH....CANT FUCKIN WAIT.....

[Pete24v]

DLR is dreadful!!! Hagar is the only singer worthy of hearing righ now. Check out his new album, in fact check out all his albums, quality songs... EVH was good in his day, he should've stopped after 'Beat it' though, if you want quality guitar playing check out Satch, Moore, Beck etc.

Van Hagar would be worth a ticket, but Sam's having far too much fun with the Waborita's to do that!

See you in Cabo Sam, rock on dude!

[someguy69]

i think i wet myself over the awesomeness

[jof1029]

[Encore_God]

Don't actually trust this report. It doesn't mention DLR by name or give any news on the status of Michael Anthony, who isn't in favour with the Van Halens right now. Hmm. We shall see.

[urassisgrass]

sammy hagars cool n all, but david lee roth is the right front man for van halen

[Caseguitar]

Dude Roth i might piss myself. and pete24v your dead wrong sams good but he didn't have that "feeling" dave had.

[maki3]

this is awesome, because we know how much everyone misses hearing 'jump'

["Tele" Steve]

Roth is a joke but I always did like his Van Halen era better than I did the Sammy hagar era. Sammy is a better singer but I feel Roth fits the band better.

[robrocker]

o god yes

Sam is good but he just isn't Van Halen is four 1 to 1984. Van Hagar is 1985-1995 dave is the first
