This morning WMMR 93.3 Phila. reported that the Van Halen reunion w/Roth is not happenin'....My industry sources told me two months ago that "They're not getting along and somebody's gonna get the boot"http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,6754,6754#msg-6754Sat, 25 May 2013 09:28:03 +1000 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,6754,6804#msg-6804 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,6754,6804#msg-6804My source was a woman in Phila. who works at a company called Universal. They do promo work for WEA.
Not Toronto, not Dman......They get updates every month in advance on cd releases, etc. Andrews sources were right on the money...As for "rumor spreaders" I work for a defense contractor and I have a secret clearance. Remember, when someone gets too close to the truth they throw out some disinformation. If it works for the CIA it'll work for the music biz.
Oh, yeah I don't own any Warrant posters....I'm a Traci Lords &

DMAN? Is that you? Even if not, it's funny how all you rumor spreaders know someone who works for WEA, but nobody ever has a name and a title that can be verified.


"I can't believe I spent eleven years with that guy, What an asshole"- Eddie Van Halen, Rolling Stone '85
-----------------------------------
"I'll never trade Sammy Hagar for anything"
"I'll never work with Roth again"
"There will never be a Van Halen greatest hits album" - Eddie Van Halen, Rolling Stone 1995

"Sammy's like my brother. He's my musical soulmate" - Eddie, 1986
"Gary's like my brother. He's my musical soulmate" - Eddie, 1998

"If Gary doesn't work out, I'll play the tuba. This is the final lineup of Van Halen" - Eddie, 1998

You get it? Eddie has often opened his mouth and said things that he didn't really even mean at the time, let alone mean long term. Not that a lot of people don't do the same thing, but when you're Edward Van Halen, these things are written in print and quoted years later. The fact is that Eddie knows his days in rock n roll are numbered due to age and the physical health of Alex and himself. He doesn't want to go out with a failure like VD III. He wants to go out on top, and he knows there's only one way to do it..... With the lineup that put him there in the first place.]]> F.O.R.D.

Those "industry sources" wouldn't be from Toronto would they?

Either way, it's complete and utter bullshit. When you're at home whacking off to your Warrant poster next summer, I'll be at the tour of the decade.
