It was announced today that Van Halen (Dave + Sammy era's)was voted into the R+R hall of fame.
This is going to be great when they jam with Sam + Dave. I wonder if they can keep their shit together for one night? or one song even? Or will it break into a gang war? Eddie, Alex + Wolfie vs Dave,Sam + Mike?
This is going to be great theatre.

The rock hall already jumped the shark; now it's back on the shore, washed up and dead. |

Van Halen holds the noble distinction of being the only band voted into BOTH The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame AND The Porno Soundtrack Hall of Fame. |

this much we do know:
The tour must take place during Wolfgang's school break.
provided, of course, his grades dont slip during rehearsals and he's forced to attend to summer school.
if so, then IT'S ON for Winter Break '07/08 baby! |

Another insider.......................From vhlinks...
VAN FAN-TASIC NEWS!?!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey all... I had to add the "5150" onto my user name since my old account somehow got squashed after this site went through all of those technical changes awhile ago. Anyway, those of you who remember me from the time that the rumors started flowing about the 2004 Sammy/VH reunion know that I was pretty much on point with all of the info that I wrote here (i.e. first to tell you all that the 2004 kickoff tour date was in Greensboro NC, first person to post the audio link to "It's About Time," etc), so hopefully you'll believe me this time around as well. Now onto business...
Things are looking pretty good for the Dave reunion. It's really just a matter of how much of a money split that Dave would get for the tour (most likely to happen this coming summer if all comes together). We already know that Ed is down with Dave rejoining the band, and Dave has been quoted positively numerous times about a reunion as well, so that's definitely not the problem. If both sides (read: lawyers) can come up with a fair agreement, all systems should be a go. And what about Mikey you ask? Unless Mikey has changed his name to "Wolfie" and cut down his age down to 15 years old, don't count on him to be on stage with Ed, Dave, and Al if this tour does happen. Mike nearly wasn't a part of the 2004 reunion tour because Ed didn't approve of his continuing relationship with Sammy ever since Sam was booted in 1996 (not to mention not wanting to give Mike the money cut he deserved for that tour), so now with Sam out of the VH picture completely, Mike can officially be considered a Wabo.
As far as the Hall Of Fame induction goes, you should plan on celebrating soon. It will be THE highlight of the night obviously. Not sure if they would actually perform together, it's probably a little too early for that, but they (Dave, Ed, Al) would be there in person to accept the induction for sure. Remember that Sammy would not be a part of this induction anyway since his first album with VH was released in 1986, and you all know that a "band" can't be inducted until 25 years after their debut album (hmm, maybe the academy was confused and thought that "Fair Warning" was their debut? ). And sadly enough, Mike probably wouldn't attend for obvious reasons. |

I think if the meth-addicted guitar player with no teeth performs on TV with his fat, teenage son and the old, former singer with no hair it will really spike interest in the upcoming tour
theres no telling how much $$$$ they could command after that...
were talkin Pug-owes-the-Pub type $$$!!!
