Van Halen Press Conference Videos & Photos

August 13th, 2007

The VHND's own Dave Brandon was there, and here's his story:

Wow, what a day! I just got home from attending the Van Halen 2007 Tour Announcement. The press conference was absolutely incredible to be at in person. When I arrived and walked into the room there was this buzz floating around the room as if Elvis was going to jump on stage and say "Hello! I'm not dead after all!" Well it wasn't Elvis, but it was Van Halen with Diamond David Lee Roth. Dave was his normal, flamboyant, outgoing self, cracking everyone up and hassling reporters as he has always does. Obviously there was a lot of talk about Michael Anthony being replaced by Edward's son, Wolfgang. But if you can get past that then we should all be in for a real treat this year - a great rock show with the world's greatest front man and the man who revolutionized guitar playing! It doesn't get much better than Van Halen!!!!!

My inside source who has attended some of the tour rehearsals says that David Lee Roth is singing better than he has in 15 years and Wolfgang is just smoking on the bass - breathing new life into his father and uncle.

Below is a picture of the stage, and links to all the great videos and photos that we've found from the press conference so far.
