Van Halen, w/David Lee Roth confirms 2012 tour
 

The band will not be touring with its entire classic lineup, however. Original bassist Mike Anthony is enjoying success with another ex-Van Halen singer, Sammy Hagar, in the supergroup Chickenfoot. Eddie’s son Wolfgang took over Anthony’s spot during an ill-fated 2007 tour - that was shortened when Eddie Van Halen went into rehab for alcohol abuse.

Good band, seen them 2 times Van Halen2, and 1984.

It seems there are 2 schools on Mike Anthony...I always disliked his out of tune back ground vocals, but I guess he was ok as a bassist. I saw the last tour with Wolfie playing bass and while it might not have been as cool as seeing the 4 original members, it was still real good. I am more excited about the new cd than the tour myself.

Yeah I want to hear the new CD. I really can't say much about Wolfie on bass. He's playing all of Mikes licks. So i'll wait for the CD.

Van Halen rocks, if they come close I hope its not in the Arena. I haven't been impressed with the sound in there. I would rather UNO if they do.

Hmmm if they make it to Houston I might go check them out, at least they are in Toyota Center and not Reliant, the acoustics in Reliant are terrible
