van halen is back together...

One of the things I don't understand, and maybe it's because the marketing czars are trying to keep younger people from realizing this (most people can't remember what happended 3 months ago, let alone 3 years ago), is that VH already reformed and toured with Roth in 2007, so I'm not sure what the big deal is about a &quot;reunion tour&quot;.

And unless Michael Anthony is back playing bass (which is highly unlikely, based on their past relationship), it's really not a &quot;reunion&quot;, just the same tour they did a few years ago.

The debut Van Halen album is one of the all-time greats in rock history. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Just like in the 1990's when they said that Bob Dylan was getting back together. I'll believe it when I see it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Is David Lee Roth growing his hair back?

It doesn't look like it. Click on that link at the top, and you'll see them on the Van Halen website. Dave is acting.....well....corny as usual.

You think of Van Halen as a rough and tumble, in your face, hard rock band. They always looked so cool on their album covers. It's always a little embarrassing (for us VH fans) when Roth acts like Robin Williams, trying desperately to get a laugh, in front of a bad crowd. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

I think the first VH album is like other groundbreaking debut albums, like Boston, Guns N' Roses, or Nirvana, but Van Halen's debut never seems to get the credit it deserves.
