Original lineup of Van Halen reuniting?

Ultimate Guitar picked up a story from the Pittsburgh Tribune Review about David Lee Roth and Van Halen getting together for a reunion tour...maybe:
"I talked to the drummer (Alex Van Halen) about a week ago," the band's former lead singer told the Pittsburgh Tribune Review. "And I think, eventually, the inevitable will happen."

Who knows if you can trust this, but it would be a great show if it happened. Then again the famous frontman could just be hyping his new gig.

I had the chance to interview David Lee Roth a few years ago at the studios of the now dead Rock 101 KLOL. He was promoting his tour with Sammy Hagar.

It was an amazing experience. His road crew actually had to bring in fresh bottles of Jack Daniels for his acoustic performance at the station. Very rock and roll. The DJ just let him go and David sang and talked for a while on the air.

Meanwhile, all of the female employees at Clear Channel sat in the hallway and swooned like teenie boppers.

I usually don't get nervous when I'm interviewing someone, but even I was a little star struck that day! So was the TV photographer. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
