Van Halen, with David Lee Roth, in Cleveland: Get'em before they're gone

Posted by Joe Tone on Tue, Aug 21, 2007 at 2:50 PM

For the first time in 22 years, Van Halen is touring with David Lee Roth, who was the greatest frontman of his generation -- maybe ever. They don't make 'em like that any more. Which is why, last week, the first shows to go on sale sold out immediately. The tour hits Cleveland Wednesday, October 10 -- minus bassist/backup vocalist Michael Anthony, and with Eddie Van Halen's son Wolfgang taking his place. Tickets go on sale this Saturday at all Ticketmaster outlets and LiveNation.com. If you want tickets, you should be in line by now. Seats range from $57 to $149. You can visit www.ILoveAllAccess.com to learn about premium packages with perks like pre-show parties and backstage access. Backstage sounds cool, but trust us: Nothing happens backstage. And nothing will. They're too old to trash dressing rooms (except Wolfgang, who at 16 is too young -- plus, like, his dad is there). And it's the sixth show of the tour. If Dave's gonna get in a fistfight with Eddie and send the tour into a massive crash-and-burn, it'll happen by the fourth show at the latest. -- D.X. Ferris

With all the dirty underhanded crap they have done to Mike Anthony there is no way in hell I would be with in a 10 foot radius of a place they were playing. If I did come across one of the brothers I would have a hard time not spitting right in their face for what they have done! And I have been a fan for over 20 years!!!! So what does that say!?!???!???!!!

I think it says you a very petty person . To spit in someones face is the behavior of a child. Get over it nad yourself.Dave`s back with Eddie and that`s the Van Halen I always will remember. If you have only been a fan for 20 years you missed the REAL VAN HALEN . Van Halen is and will always be Dave & Eddie. Mike`s no Paul Mccartney and he`s been replaced. If you want Mikey so bad go catch him on tour with sammy as The Other Half. I for one am going to see VAN HALEN 2007 BABY !!!
