    YES! YES! YES!:D
    *lets out a signature Diamond Dave squeal*
    And hey, might as well JUMP! *jumps for joy* :p haha. Hell yes!! SOooooo beyond pumped for this!!!

    Thank you for posting that Fanchy.

    A local radio station was actually talking about this earlier today and confirming that it's 110% a go as well. :D!!! They also quoted Sammy as saying he'd love to share the stage with Dave for the Rock and Roll Hall of fame....or if not he'd atleast love to be in the crowd and witness it. Something to that effect but bascially Sammy was saying he's all for the reunion and excited for everyone.

    So what's the deal with the inducting anyways? :confused: I keep hearing conflicting things. Can someone clear that up for me please? I've heard a few times that they'll BOTH be inducted but mainly what I keep hearing is that it's currently still being talked about.

    Anyways, I cannot wait to finally experience the real Van Halen!
    :D

    Sam and Dave are BOTH getting inducted.
    Who shows up / and / or performs is anyone's guess at this point.

    It's not the real Van Halen without Michael Anthony.......take my word for it. This band, with Roth, was very hit or miss when it came to live performances. I saw both ends of the spectrum in person. When they're on, they're on......if not, you wasted your money and your time.

    That's because they played hard, dirty, yet musically-intricate rock and roll while touring the world constantly partying hard and sleepign little. That's rock and roll. If I want sonic perfection, I'll go see an orchestra. If I want to feel good b/c it's Friday night, I'll go see Van Halen with Dave.

    However, I agree with teh Wolfgang thing. It's just stupid. Michael Anthony is like the nicest guy of all of them. Obviously, EVH is the problem in keeping it together.

    from what I have seen and heard on video bootleg, you are absolutely correct. I am a huge VH fan of the Roth era, and I have serious reservations about this tour and how good it will be. I guess it is better to expect little and be pleasantly surprised.
    Mike not being there is crap. Horrible move by dickhead EVH.

    I don't quite understand why they both get the nod. I thought it was only members who were included on the band's first release.

    Sammy could go in solo or as a member of Montrose...or as a member of Van Halen later on down the line.

    I'm confused as to the rules of the HOF.

    I definitely hear what you're saying tybird. Perhaps my wording was a bit extreme. What can I say? I was lost in the Dave moment. :p I know it won't be the same without Michael Anthony but regardless I am still super excited to finally be able to witness Dave singing Van Halen songs. I've seen Sammy before but never got the chance to see Dave and honestly, that's a huge part of what it's about for me.

    Evidently in Sam's case the induction committee feels that he made a significant contribution to Van Halen even tho he was not in the band 25 years ago. He had a huge impact, thats why he gets the nod, and conversely, why Cherone does not even get a mention. He had no positive impact on VH's legacy.

    Then the committee should rethink things and induct The E Street Band.

    Thumbs down to them.

    The sonic quality is not what I was referring to........I generally like to see a band that completes songs that is playing, not ones where the lead singer is too drunk to remember the lyrics, so he starts hooting and hollering while the song crashes to an end. I no longer consider extended drum solos an essential part of a rock n' roll show.....especially when they are filling space & time because the lead singer is too drunk and the guitarist is right behind him in that category. I have seen an absolutely brilliant show put on by DLR era Van Halen, and I have seen an absolute train wreck of a show put on by the same band. (1984 & 1982)

    That was some good shit put out by Montrose (Bad Motor Scooter e.g.)......and some great solo efforts by Sammy.....who put on a helluva show when I saw him open for ZZ Top in 1983.

    See I think all of that is awesome and totally rock and roll. But then again, I think it's awesome when the Oasis brothers get in a fight or when Axl Rose shows up for a show at 1am.

    Former VAN HALEN bassist Michael Anthony's official web site has been updated with the following message:

    "There's a new addition to the Mad Anthony family of hot sauces coming soon for those of you who just can't get enough heat. You wanted hotter taste with the same great flavor and Mad Anthony's has heard the call! Mad Anthony's XXXTra Hot Private Reserve is in the final stages of preparation and is just what you need to turn your favorite meal into a five-alarm inferno. So ice up those ass cheeks and get ready to sizzle, because Mad Anthony's XXXTra Hot Private Reserve is on its way! Don't forget to have the Fire Dept. on speed dial!"

    For more information on Anthony's line of hot sauces, click here.

    Anthony isn't letting his dismissal from VAN HALEN get in the way of his feelings about being elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. On his web site, the bassist previously wrote, "I was very excited and honored to learn that VAN HALEN would be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this March. I want to thank Eddie, Alex, Sammy, and Dave. It has been an amazing experience and I am very proud of what we have accomplished. I'm not sure yet how the induction ceremony will work, but I'll keep everyone posted as I find out the details. A Big MA Toast to all our fans for their tremendous support over the years! Love you all and bottoms up!!"

    Last year, Eddie Van Halen announced that his 15-year-old son Wolfgang had replaced Anthony in the band. No announcement has been made about the reason for the lineup change.

    The band will be inducted March 12 at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City.

    From Pollstar.com:
    http://pollstar.com/news/viewnews.pl?NewsID=7687

    Van Halen On Hold

    It's true. The Van Halen tour that was never officially announced is now officially postponed indefinitely, sources told Pollstar.

    The rumored tour took on an air of reality after a trade magazine announced that original singer David Lee Roth was about to sign on the dotted line, and that was soon followed by a press release via Eddie Van Halen’s spokeswoman-slash-girlfriend.

    Unfortunately, the worldwide frenzy of a VH reunion was too good to be true, at least for the present day.

    However, there was a lot of paper getting inked and Pollstar understands that a tour announcement might not have been far off.

    It's officially a circus.................send in the clowns.....:D

    spokeswoman/girlfriend sounds like a potential problem to me.

    Just like hiring Alex's brother-in-law Ray Danniels as manager was a problem which led to Sammy's departure
    Oh those wacky Van Halen brothers (and now son)
    This weekend we rock Portland

    I can't wait to watch the train wreck at the Hall of Fame...that should make for some interesting television.

    It will probably look like something that Heyman booked in the old days of ECW. :D
