February 20, 200719 yr courtesy of pollstar.com: Van Halen On Hold Updated 12:38 PST Tue, Feb 20 2007 It's true. The Van Halen tour that was never officially announced is now officially postponed indefinitely, sources told Pollstar. The rumored tour took on an air of reality after a trade magazine announced that original singer David Lee Roth was about to sign on the dotted line, and that was soon followed by a press release via Eddie Van Halen’s spokeswoman-slash-girlfriend. Unfortunately, the worldwide frenzy of a VH reunion was too good to be true, at least for the present day. However, there was a lot of paper getting inked and Pollstar understands that a tour announcement might not have been far off. I wonder if this is a bump in the road or a dive over the cliff?
February 20, 200719 yr After numerous tries.....i'm at the point i don't care anymore. These guys can't put away their differences to make some cash then oh well. i've still got my memories of the 1984 tour. Edited February 20, 200719 yr by juddling
February 20, 200719 yr Everytime they almost get back together, this happens. Im done with them, by the time they actually get together for a tour they are going to be invalids with walkers.
February 20, 200719 yr Musically I don't care but it is a great party when they hit the stage and this is my favorite VH lineup. Much better than Van Haggar

Much better than Van Haggar Dave + Eddie + Alex + 15-year-old Wolfgang Van Halen on bass is your favorite VH lineup? Mine would be Dave + Eddie + Alex + Michael Anthony ...but maybe that's just me...

February 21, 200719 yr QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 20, 2007 -> 10:10 PM) I don't think anybody gives a crap if Anthony plays bass, they just want his girly backing vocals on the stuff. They also want to see him down a couple of fifths of Jack Daniels onstage during the show. And of course, the masses are also clamoring for one of those trademark suspended-over-the-audience kickass Michael Anthony bass solos.
February 21, 200719 yr The Van Halen brothers are jerks and DLR is an asshole. They'll never get back together.
February 21, 200719 yr I am sick of them bringing up this rumor every few years. With egos the size of Roth, Hagar and Mr. Valerie Bertonelli, it's amazing anything ever got done.

True, but when you're an old rocker losing his hair and flailing to keep in the limelight, all you have left to feed your ego is classic rock radio and alcohol. That's why they need each other. *nerd alert!* Kind of like hotshot college student Ronald Raymond has to get along with Professor Martin Stein in order to become Firestorm.
