Michael Anthony tries to get Sammy back in VH

[Van Haantje]

Hi ya all,

I just read this at www.MelodicRock.com:

SAMMY CALLS GARY & VAN HALEN TRIED WITH DAVE: The Sammy Hagar & David Lee Roth tour takes another unforeseen turn for this week's August 28 gig in Boston.
Van Halen's most recently jettisoned vocalist Gary Cherone will join Sammy Hagar for his encore, singing one of Van Halen's Sammy era tunes (likely to be Dreams a source tells me).
Also joining in will be Michael Anthony on bass.
Sammy was the one who put the ca'l into Gary, who readily accepted the invitation.
And the very latest Van Halen news suggests things are building towards a reconciliation with Sammy Hagar.
To date there has been no direct contact between Eddie Van Halen and Sammy, although there are forces at work trying to make this to happen - one of whom is Michael Anthony.
In the latest behind the scenes news to be revealed, it seems that Van Halen attempted working with David Lee Roth on 3 separate occasions since Cherone left in 1998. The rumors of Dave at the 5150 Studios were in fact correct, but the results were not to Eddie's liking and hence no reunion was permanent.

In the meantime, Sammy Hagar's new album Not For Sale is in the can and is being lined up for release. The October 1 release is not yet Officially confirmed.

I thought you wanted to know this....or not.

PEACE! [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Doesn't "In the can" mean trashed or a no go? Anyway, new tunes on October 1st? Sweeeeeeet!

What's that, four albums since '96?

HMMMMMMMMM, I wonder who posted something very similar to this just a few days ago.
Let the denials fly! Mike's not in the loop, Sammy's not in the loop, Melodic Rock magazine isn't in the loop. I think some of you folks are just loopy! [img]graemlins/bounce.gif[/img] You know who's in fact not in the loop?

"in the can" refers to the types of containers that hold film, recording tape etc. meaning that it's finished and ready to be distributed/broadcast (i think)

it doesn't mean "in the trash can" (although if it's a bad album then maybe it could be applied)

If it's true, then I'm happy.

I wanna hear/see some VH.

Please don't let Cherone sing Dreams......he's fuckin' brutal on that tune.

Don't let him sing ANY VH tunes. He was brutal on all of them.

[visco28]

Any news that has them getting back on the road in some way, shape or form is good news.
Hope its true.

I hated Cherone's voice on VH3, but it was a nice gesture on Sam's part to extend an invitation like that, especially in Gary's stompin' (prancing? [img]graemlins/drunk.gif[/img] ) grounds of Boston.

Seriously, that was a classy move. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

I don't blame Cherone for trying to front one of his favorite bands. Eddie was the one who seemed to think he could pull a "plug n' play" by writing obnoxious material, and paying someone to come in and sing it without a considerable amount of input.

Again.....classy move, Sam (and Mike). [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

You're right, Sammy is back in. No problem except for the fact that he's been beating up cardboard Eddie's, rubbing VH shirts against his crotch, and has shown film of a drill or something tearing up Ed's guitar. Seems highly unlikely that Ed and Al would be excited for him to come back. I mean, after all, Sammy is such a liar according to Ed. Wouldn't there be trust issues now?? I can't see them being instant friends again. OH,wait, you are living in a dream world where Sammy and Eddie are going to make up and instantly record a kick ass record. Sorry, dude, you ought to know better than to believe all the printed crap before something actually happens. Good luck on finding reality..something you've claimed Roth fans needed to find for quite some time now. I guess the shoe is on the other foot,eh?

I hope this comes true. I would love to hear some new VH and if Sammy is involved that makes it twice as nice.

"In the Can" describes where Gary likes it.
