OK! The moment you 1984 babies were waiting for finally arrived! In February. And then it was squashed like Diamond Dave’s manbits during a patented spandexed jump. And then a Gollum-esque Eddie checked into rehab. So, you ready for another round?
Right now (hey!), the band is at the Four Seasons in Los Angeles, holding a conference to announce officially a reunion tour running through the US and Canada, kicking off in North Carolina on 9/27. They’re really doing it this time! Unless/until David irritates them before then/Eddie falls off the wagon again. The lineup features Lee Roth and three Van Halens (Eddie’s kid Wolfgang is taking Michael Anthony’s spot on bass, leaving Anthony ample time to tend to his XXXTra Hot Private Reserve hot sauce). Your Van Halen reunion tour dates:
09/27 – Charlotte, NC @ Bobcats Arena

Damn the torpedoes, I’ll definitely pay to see this train wreck. This shit’ll be like the Ol’ 97.
I prefer to think of Wolfie as Valerie’s kid.
Robert Smigel?
Let go of my show!
True, TV Funhouse — then I realized Gollum was even more accurate. Let go of my ring!
Three questions:
1. How much are you willing to pay to see the spectacle of Eddie and Dave hating each other on stage?
2. How much do you suspect they’re getting paid to hate each other on stage?
3. How long until this thing goes completely off the tracks? We should get the pool started now.
i can see the future headline:
“Van Halen – Can They Save The Concert Industry?”
oh God.
fuck you, guys.
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Who’s that dude on the left?
Anyone wanna buy some tequila?…Hello?
the dude on the left is Alex Van Halen.
yall know sammy sold his ties to cabo wabo. i think he got like $4,500 — cash.
eddies boy better not suck — i mean w/o MA its gonna suck but i mean suuuuuuuuuuucccccck. ueah the stage presence of a 16 y/o who does do prince barry gib backin vocals
and of course dave is another story completely . ….
see you in phila – VH!
Now drumming for Van Halen… Marc Anthony?!
jesus, wolfgang looks like a fat(er) gerard way with bad 80’s hair. freaky.
is Michael Anthony dead?
ok, i see, Wolfgang got the old Bertenelli fat-gene. but will he play a Jack Daniels bass???
fat wolfgang is fat.
This tour won’t even make it to Toronto.
btw don’t buy your ticket until after the show starts. That way you know they will be playing.
I bet the tour will end when they reach: 11/25 – San Diego, CA @ Cox Arena. Thats if wolf won’t choke on a ham sandwich before then.
