Because it gets me all excited for something that seems like it might be impossible to do. Here is an update on the everlasting alleged VH reunion:
"Van Halen, Roth to announce tour next week
08/07/2007 4:39 AM, Reuters
Jonathan Cohen
Van Halen will announce a 50-date American reunion tour with original singer David Lee Roth during a news conference in Hollywood next week, sources said.
The arena trek will begin in early October.
Roth, who split from the rock group in the mid-1980s in hopes of solo stardom, will reunite with co-founders Eddie Van Halen on guitar and brother Alex Van Halen on drums. Eddie's teenage son Wolfgang will sub for Michael Anthony on bass.
A proposed summer amphitheater tour by the group never got off the ground, with Eddie Van Halen entering a rehabilitation facility for undisclosed reasons in March.
In the months since, the guitarist has been seen publicly looking healthy and fit.
Van Halen last toured in 2004, with Roth's replacement, vocalist Sammy Hagar, grossing nearly $40 million, according to Billboard Boxscore.

A 50-date tour? okay, assuming this will happen, who wants to quit their job and pile in my VW bus and follow them around the country? any takers?
I am crossing my fingers!! Everyone put it out there into the universe that it will happen. I want to see these guys before they fall off the face of the earth.
And on a side note, anyone ever seen VH live?

Well if this reunion deal blows thru San Diego, I will definitely check it out, may even make the drive up to L.A. to see them. Just think, I may see VH before I see the Punks again. Who woulda thunk it.

Seems pretty 'slow' around here on the forums, I agree.
I've got my VH Tix!! Counting down the days until 11/27...can't wait!!
