What's Going On Here?
April 26, 2001 -
Just when you thought the whole Van Halen soap opera couldn't get
more bizarre, everything changes again! This morning, Valerie Bertinelli
(Edward Van Halen's wife) appeared on several morning radio shows to
promote her new acting role in the CBS series
Touched By An Angel.
Some key snippets from the interviews relating to Van Halen:
- Eddie's health is "great".
- Valerie prefers the "Van Roth" era of Van Halen, and said she's "a big David Lee Roth fan".
- Eddie and the band are waiting for Dave to contact them.
- Everyone in the VH camp is fine and ready to go on tour.
Valerie called in to the following stations: KZOK Seattle with Robin and Maynard,
WRQX in Washington DC with Jack Diamond, WRIF Detroit with Drew and Mike, WRBQ
in Tampa.

This past week has been a great one for the fans. Finally the
cracks are starting to open, but there is still a long way to
go. Could this all be a publicity stunt? Maybe. If it is,
it's working, because Van Halen and David Lee Roth are definitely
back in the news.
Last night in his monologue, Jay Leno commented on the rumours
that David Lee Roth may be back in Van Halen. While his comments
were far from favourable towards Dave (inferring he's now a
wedding singer), the fact that the band got a mention on such a high profile
show means that the world is waiting for their next move.
If it's true that Dave is "ready to go" and waiting for Eddie to call
him, and vice versa, would somebody please put these guys in touch with
each other so we can stop wasting time and Get The Show On The Road?
Meanwhile, Sammy Hagar's web sites
redrocker.com and
cabowabo.com have
been down for several days without explanation. No conspiracy
theorys here - Sammy isn't coming back to the band.
Gary Cherone is staying busy. He will be performing at the
Boston Rock Opera's Abbey Road - For The Benefit of Mr. Dee concert
on May 3. For more details, check out
the Boston Rock Opera Web Site.
Thanks to Joe Binder for the WRIF audio!

Dec 31, 2000 - 2000: The Year In Review
2000 has come and gone, and I don't have to tell you that it was probably
the most frustrating year ever in the life of Van Halen fans. "No news is
good news" got old real fast.
