Van Halen Exclusive: Summer Tour A Go!

Posted by Frank Meyer - Monday, November 06, 2006 4:47 PM

Last week, TheFeed ran a story about Eddie Van Halen’s spokesperson, Janie Liszewski, telling TMZ.com that his son Wolfgang was officially the new bassist in Van Halen. Well, now TheFeed can confirm he's in the band via our own correspondence with Liszewski, as well as the fact that there will be a summer 2007 tour!

"Yes, I can confirm this story in the respect of Wolfgang being the new bass player for the band and, yes, he has been in the studio with his dad and uncle rehearsing and writing for an upcoming summer 2007 tour," Liszewski told TheFeed exclusively. "Wolfgang most certainly has inherited the Van Halen musical genius gene. At 15 years of age his knowledge, understanding, skill, and command of multiple instruments is impressive.”

She also confirmed what Eddie announced on Howard Stern last month, that Michael Anthony is definitely no longer in Van Halen.

When asked about the rumor that the Van Halen boys will enlist original VH singer David Lee Roth for this tour, Liszewski said, “There has been no confirmation that David Lee Roth will be touring this coming summer."

So let's recap: We know that Eddie and brother Alex are rehearsing with Wolfgang on bass. We know that there will be a tour this summer. We don’t know who will sing for the band yet, but we know Eddie is open to working with Roth (he said so on Stern) and that no one is denying that Diamond Dave could be the frontman. Hmmmm…interesting.

I can't believe it, Eddie and Dave must need money bad.

They're looking for ways to get more money.

Eddie is a muscician, not the 4 original, Vanhalen made the band not David Lee Roth, that would be an embarrasment to bring him back, moron, get a life!!!Eddie Rocks, Alex Rocks, can't wait to see you in play with Wolfgang!!!!

The vocals will suck without Michael Anthony..listen to their records again...take out his voice..they never would have made it...at least on the level they did..Van Halens are virtuoso's but it took all four to make a name for themselves..

Anybody heard Roth sing lately? Ugh.. this is gonna be a train wreck. Glad Ed is doing better, but they will miss Michael badly. And while the only GOOD Van Halen music was with Roth, the thought of him singing for them again makes me cringe.. literally.

Eddie is just helping out his son, bringing him into the fold, the world that Eddie and Alex enjoyed for many years. I think people will fill the seats regardless, but Micheal brought a lot of energy and I doubt you'll see that from Woflgang. not for nothing, but he is a fat ass and will pobably puke from heat exaustion the first night ...
