apparently the Roth/Hagar and possibly even Cherone <?!?!> "kitchen sink" tour rumors were accurate, according to Wolfgang

"Before Eddie Van Halen’s cancer took a turn for the worse, his son Wolfgang Van Halen said he convinced him to consider a “kitchen-sink tour” that could’ve included bassist Michael Anthony for the first time since 2004, with Sammy Hagar and David Lee Roth each taking turns on vocals. They even talked about bringing back Gary Cherone, who sang with the band on one album, Wolfgang told Howard Stern Monday."

A set with Sammy and then a set with Dave would have been epic and would have done huge business. To bad it didn’t happen.

I saw the interview but even if they included Cherone it would be a guest spot for like 1 song. No way he’d get a set. He was on 1 album that was very unpopular.

true but how popular were the Van hagar albums with the DLR-only crowd? i could see a mass exodus after Roth was done. Cherone couldn't do worse than that, i bet he'd do whichever singles were on 3 and then come out for the finale.

also, were does Wolfgang fit in? no way dad lets his son sit the whole tour out.

I think DLR would get the last set. Van Hagar was pretty popular. I saw them in 1992 play to about 25,000 people. And there were lots of fans who crossed over. My buddies and I, while bigger Roth fans, still liked a lot of the Hager stuff.

Set 1. 8 Hagar songs, 1 Cherone

Set 2. 9 Roth songs

Encore 2 songs with both Sammy and Dave

For the 1984 Tour, Eddie had asked that the speakers enclosures be painted white so people could see the woofers pump during the show. No other acts did that at the time. R.I.P.



Ok, but that's the Fair Warning stage.

Ok, not sure how many different topics this one hits on, but it's pretty good, and funny to boot.
