That David Lee Roth/Van Halen rumor getting stronger

I was talking to a friend yesterday about how 2007 could be a really rocking year. We have Guns N' Roses allegedly releasing Chinese Democracy on March, 6, 2007, Velvet Revolver has a new one as well as Metallica (and it's supposed to sound like Master of Puppets for those keeping score at home).

Then there is that rumor that won't go away about David Lee Roth rejoining Van Halen for a tour. More on that is surfacing all of the time.

From the lips of David Lee Roth on TMZ.com via Blabbermouth:

"A VAN HALEN reunion is a lot like NASCAR — are you there to see the winner or the crash?" mused Dave. "In this aspect, we're a lot closer to 'Jerry Springer' meets 'Knots Landing', which, to me, sells T-shirts."

Maybe that doesn't sound optimistic, but at least promising.

Then Rolling Stone is getting in the mix:

Meanwhile, the other former Van Halen vocalist (who isn’t Gary Cherone) showed his support for the project, telling a Cleveland newspaper, “Dave and Ed working together? I don’t see it in a million years . . . You throw Dave in that mix, and I just don’t see it working. Dave’s gonna want it to be all about him. Ed’s gonna want it to be all about him. And that’s a tough one right there. I’ll probably just be sitting over in the corner, cracking up.”

I'll be there. I guess the band will still have a 15-year-old bassist too. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
