Feb. 3rd, 2007 11:17 amDavid Lee Roth Back As Van Halen Singer
What are they going to call the tour? Rehabo-Wabo? Come see how much we suck when we're sober? Damn, We're Broke Again - Reunion Time!?
The rumors were true. Van Halen will reunite with original singer David Lee Roth for a summer tour of North America.
"I am very excited to get back to the core of what made Van Halen," guitarist Eddie Van Halen said in a statement posted Friday on the band's Web site announcing a 40 city tour. No specific dates have been named.
It will be the first time that Roth performs live with the band since 1984, when he was replaced by Sammy Hagar. A brief reunion with Roth in 1996 resulted in two new songs but no tour.
Original bassist Michael Anthony will not be a part of the reunion. Late last year he was replaced by Eddie Van Halen's 15-year-old son Wolfgang.
On March 12 Van Halen will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at a ceremony in New York.

Get the butterfly net and stun guns.
Feb. 3rd, 2007 12:07 pmAs many of you know, I collect kook websites. I consider the internet to be like a zoo, I can observe the dangerous and creepy beasties with a safe barrier between me and them. Over the years, I've become a bit jaded. Hell, Ann Coulter's website barely gets a reaction from me anymore.
Then I found Sam Gipp. Sam runs "A Friend To Church Ministries" He is so far out there that we in alt.atheism thought this was a parody site. Then some intrepid members did some searching and found out this is all for real. This guy is insane. Here are some of the more amusing rants from his articles section.
Americans Are Ready - Racism, isolationism, and all those other "Christian values" that you can't find in the Bible.
It's Time For A "Holy War!" - More racism, and declarations that America is only for white Christians.
Our Marvelous Interstate Highways - Wonderfully incoherent rant on how liberals hate the interstate highway system, and how if you find the highway boring, you're a traitor or something, married to a 7th-grade essay on the features of the system. I'd love to see the "four lane highway beginning at its front gate connecting it to the interstate highway system" at Schofield Barracks, HI.
How I Know That "Global Warming" Is A Lie - Oh, my. Ignorance personified, and a dig at San Francisco as a bonus! This moron thinks that more UV getting to us is a good thing!
That's just a sampling of this man's paranoia, hatred, and ignorance. Feel free to play around on his site and be sure not to be drinking anything!
