[CATMAN3]

Just heard on my classic rock staion's music news report that SAM & DAVE are scheduled to present an award.

Would be cool if Mike and the V.H. bros showed up with them on stage.

DAVID LEE ROTH, SAMMY HAGAR To Co-Present Award At MTV MUSIC AWARDS - Aug. 21, 2002

The following item appears in today's edition of the New York Post:

David Lee Roth is a forgiving man. The original — and best — singer for VAN HALEN has agreed to co-present an award with his nemesis, Sammy Hagar, at the MTV Music Awards on Aug. 29, sources say, even after Hagar trashed Diamond Dave on PAGE SIX a few weeks back, calling him a "[bleep] hole," likening him to Liberace and making fun of his receding hairline. The feuding front men — both of whom were fired from the band by guitarist Eddie Van Halen — buried the hatchet for a joint summer tour, but were predictably at each other's throats within weeks. Roth and Hagar join host Jimmy Fallon and presenters James Gandolfini, Usher, Kirsten Dunst, Brittany Murphy, Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, Nelly, Avril Lavigne, Enrique Iglesias, Johnny Knoxville and Lil' Bow Wow. Performers include BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, PINK, THE HIVES, JA RULE, SHERYL CROW, ASHANTI, EMINEM, THE VINES, NAS, SHAKIRA and P. DIDDY. [end]

In other news, VAN HALEN guitarist Eddie Van Halen apparently joined LESLIE WEST & MOUNTAIN onstage at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, California on Saturday, August 10th for a rendition of "Never In My Life".

I'd like to see this coming from MTV.com before I get too excited about it.

[Bostonian]

Well,

This is definately very interesting. The post is sometimes accurate. But we shall see. I am curious to see what happens at greatwoods though! When are the VMA's? Does eMpTy TV still play videos anymore? Everytime I turn it on there is anything but that. Where is JJ Jackson, Martha Quinn, and Pauly Shore? I want my OLD MTV!

[James in New York]

I wonder if they'll present the award in person or on video, and if on video will it be pre-taped or live from Sammy's show that night?

[55starfire]

yeah- i thought sammy was doing a free show that night? how is this going to work out? sounds like this may be an unsubstantiated rumor to me...

[The Van Baron]

.......is that the big new york show ?

[55starfire]

yeah- irving plaza... august 29th- free to honor the victims of 9/11...

i think that is a small venue, though, right? not a big show at all...

.....YEA....i say it will be televised....maybe a little clip of it....if we are lucky..it would be one hell of a way to start a reunion...come on ed & al....you guys can play 2 hours [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

[The Van Baron]

....not jumping to conclusions but.....I think it was a money thing with sam & ed.....that's the sore spot...i remember that interview with the bros on the sofa & ed looked in the camera and said you did it for the money sam.....so maybe , just maybe this could be one hell of a way to heal that sore spot...

Sammy said last night that the show was after the VMA's so read into that what you will.

[man of the people]

Yeah, those two should go over well with the Backside Boys/Britney crowd. The audience will be wondering why the old-timers are dressed in spandex and flourescent green underoos.

[The Van Baron]

.....you gotta shock the people....i think vh members have been on the V M A'S more then britney and backstreet

Well, the MTV Movie Awards show earlier this summer was taped a few days before it actually aired on MTV for the first time--I remember commercials to build up the hype for it featuring actual footage from the awards . . . so if they stick with that format, who knows what could happen.
