I found some info that's currently being debated on a couple of web sites, but TMZ.com (one of the leading Hollywood and Entertainment news sites ever) is saying it's true as of now, and it makes me excited and also angry.
The news is that Van Halen has scheduled a new tour starting in fall of 2007 with David Lee Roth as the lead singer. This will be the first time since the 80's that DLR is going to be part of Van Halen, and that's pretty cool. That's not, however, what has made me happy and mad at the same time.
You see, the bassist from VH, Michael Anthony, was replaced in late 2006. Do you know who replaced him? Eddie Van Halen's son Wolfgang Van Halen (or Wolfie as his family calls him). So now the band Van Halen is made up of three Van Halens (Eddie on guitar, his brother Alex on drums, and his son Wolfie on bass) along with the origional lead singer DLR. That's still not what makes me mad.
What ticks me right off is that Wolfie is only 15 years old. Not only is his Mom Valerie Bertinelli (of the soap opera fame) and his Dad one of the greatest guitar players of all time, but at 15 he's getting to tour with one of the most influential rock bands of all time. At 15. Not fair. I'm 26 and have never got to tour with a rock band!
Lastly, Wolfie looks a lot like the kid who played a young Jack Black in the Tenacious D movie "The Pick Of Destiny." Also not fair.

I knew all of that except that he's fat.
...I liked Michael Anthony.

I've always thought that Mattress World should change their slogan.
