Van Halen to tour this sum... just kidding!

Like anyone believed these morons were actually going to manage to hold it together long enough to even rehearse for a tour, much less pull a tour off. Seems the 2007 tour of the original line-up of Van Halen, sans Michael Anthony, isn't going to happen after all.

From The New York Post today:

Broken Reunion

February 27, 2007 -- The fabled Van Halen reunion tour set for this summer has been derailed, thanks to a new set of ego clashes within the always-troubled band. David Lee Roth was to have hit the road with Eddie Van Halen for the first time since 1984, but concert promoter Live Nation has "shut down" the tour, says the L.A. Times. Roth told the paper: "We have fragile politics in Van Halen, please accept that as a partial answer." Roth's publicist told us she couldn't comment.

I'm no huge fan of current front man (sort of) David Lee Roth, but I'm sure Eddie Van Halen is probably more to blame here than anyone, considering his history with Roth and the other two lead singers the band has had.

Someone wake me when these dopes starting acting like adults for the first time in their lives, while also realizing that we really aren't going to care forever. Guys, you've been pushing your luck with your loyal fans for years - tune your guitars and sing before we all tune out.
