On this morning’s Howard Stern show, Sammy Hagar confirmed that he’s back with Van Halen. He’s been jamming with the band for about three months.
Billboard reports that a Sammy-fronted Van Halen tour will kick off in June. It’ll be the first tour for the band since 1998. Sammy also told Stern that he’d written a song about his reunion with VH called “It’s About Time.” The song is expected to appear on the forthcoming greatest hits.
Meanwhile, David Lee Roth will be on The Sopranos this Sunday.

FUCK THAT VAN HAGAR NONSENSE! DIAMOND DAVE FOREVER!
Agreed! Awesome photo Nick.
I’m a huge Van Halen fan, especially the DLR years. But, at this point, I’m content to settle for a reunion with Hagar. As long as the tour focuses more on material from 5150 and OU812 rather than the latter Hagar albums, seeing them would make my summer a much better thing.
what parallel universe is that spin cover from? “The first 50 years of Spin”? “DR. Ruth Meets Ozzy Osborne?” Fucking “Rick Nelson remembered by Steven King?” What the fuck is going on here?
I want fucking answers!
Oh, and Sammy– it IS about time. About time they brought back crystal pepsi so you can have another sweet endorsement deal. Cabo Wabo isn’t selling so well.
Eww, Crystal Pepsi.
a few years ago (2001?) i was at the west 4th st subway station, and some construction had unearthed forgetten subway posters from the 80s in relatively intact form. it was like this weird moment of junk culture pop archaeology – i took it as an omen, a sign from DLR that he wanted me to devote my life to rock.
here’s a close-up of that spin poster:
and one of “the money pit” (i have NO idea what that was meant to portend):
Fuck yall! Van Hagar got me thru jr high!!! Dreams? Love Comes In? When its Love? I didnt know shit from sexing, but I still got the feeling when Sammy growled and tossed his mane.
*cough* David Lee Roth *cough*
We don’t need no friggin’ Haggar!
What? No love for Gary Cherone.
Yay! Gary Cherone! Yay!
Ah, screw it. I got nothing.
hahahahaha. Gary Cherone. All I can think about in re him is poor poor Nuno Bettencourt being too fucking righteous to reunite on VH1.
as long as Eddie doesn’t sing lead, i’ll be alright with it. and yes, with sammy back in the fold, they should perform all of 5150 live on this tour. rock on!
Van Halen with Sammy Hagar: More #1′s
David Lee Roth w/o Van Halen: 1 Platinum album and a receding hairline
Van Halen w/o David Lee Roth: a Godsend
Sammy Hagar w/o Van Halen: great concerts, simple but good music.
Enough Said…peace
and Karen must be an awesome chick…any girl who likes the Hagar years is a winner in my book.
Hagar all the way! David Lee Roth looks and sounds like the walking dead these days, and Hagar definately still has it! Welcome back Sammy!!!
