I was listening to my local "classic rock" station when it was announced that Van Halen, still label-less, has signed a new management contract with Sammy Hager's manager. From all indications, looks like Sammy will be reuniting with Van Halen.

I'll probably get killed for this, but... I always liked the Hagar years the best.

I also liked "Van Hager" better than Van Halen. 5150 is one of my favorite albums.

Eddie Van Halen interviewed on January 9th, 2004.

Well then, let me be the 1st to thread fart and ruin this Van Hagar lovefest....

Dave rules. He may be a world class a-hole, but Dave and Eddie together IS Van Halen. The two cuts they did for the Greatest Hits CD were the best VH songs since he left the band.

Nothing wrong with Sammy, but the band lost their edge when Dave was sent packing. Too damn top-40ish for my tastes. And while I am ranting, unless Eddie wants to run his Rhoades through his Marshall stacks again, then NO KEYBOARDS ALLOWED. I want face peeling guitar, PLEASE.

Having said all that, its great that there is some potential for some new Eddie music, even if I would prefer a different lead vocalist.

So, lets just say that, from where I sit, the glass is half full

Dave-era Van Halen makes me want to throw back some beers, check out the pretty ladies, and party until the sun comes up.

Van Hagar makes me want to buy a mini-van, drink milk, and discuss my feelings with my girlfriend.

Still, I'd buy the album just to hear Eddie tear it up again.

Uh-oh, grab me some Beano quick!!!

Who the heck still gives a THREAD FART about Van ANYTHING anymore? They have sucked since David Lee Combover left 10 billion years ago...

Eddie is an ego hoggin bastard.

Latest speculation is that the VH reunion will happen during the SuperBash being held in Houston Superbowl week. Sammy is the headliner/MC of the whole affair, so it would make perfect sense.

I am so ready for the return of Van Halen!

Heh..and I'll be there. Hopefully it will happen on the Friday I'm present. I know Michael Anthony and one of the guys from Alice in Chains is supposed to be around that weekend. Sammy and the Waboritas are heading up Friday and Saturday nights lineups, and Sammy is the MC for the week..

I'll throw my hat in the Van Hagar camp. I like early Van Halen as much as anyone, but they were able to flex a little more creative muscle with Sammy the with Dave IMO.

Sammy and Michael Anthony have jammed several times over the years. There were even rumors that MA was ousted from VH due to his closeness with Sammy.

I guess we'll see. I'll be n line for tix if they reunite. Sammy puts on a heck of a show solo or with VH.

I rule all that I survey...and that ain\'t much.

Matt Butler

I love Roth just as much as anyone but throw me into the Hagar camp as well. 5150 and Carnal Knowledge are tow of my favorite albums.

If tix go on sale for a reunion tour I will SO be there.
