Reports from MelodicRock.com suggest that the VAN HALEN rumor machine is now in full gear. A representative of the site has posted the following: "A few very positive developments from the last few days. The first development comes from SAMMY HAGAR's own website administrator. She has remained tight-lipped since I broke news of Hagar's move back to Van Halen on November 20. But this week she was again asked two questions - 1. Is Sam working with Van Halen again? and 2. Is the rumored Best Of Vol 2 a reality?" Her reply: "Number 1 and 2 you'll hear soon..." Ok, then this... from Grant Fisher of the now closed VHND. He posted this e-mail he received: "A friend of mine named (removed) has been friends with Sammy Hagar for years. Anyway, he told me tonight that it's official that Sammy is back with Van Halen and that Sammy is playing some show in Walnut Creek, CA and he is going to make the announcement." I've asked my sources to look into this new info and will keep you posted. More info on the show (this Friday US time) here: www.arf.net/About_ARF/Events/arf_rocks.html And finally, A&R guru John Kalodner responded to a question e-mailed to him via his site: Q: Looks like we may see the return of Van Halen with Sammy Hagar! Do you think they will sign with Sanctuary or try for Warner Bros. again?? Plus do you think we will see a Best Of Vol.2 before we see any new material? And will we have to wait till fall 2004 for VH to return? John's answer: "I'm not sure about any of this. I think Sammy may be back with Van Halen, but I'm not positive. I think there may be one or two new songs for a second volume of Best Of. I would love to sign them to Sanctuary, but they may want to stay with Warner Bros. I would love for them to tour again. Nothing is definite and we'll just have to wait and see what lies ahead for Van Halen." All adds up to an interesting situation. Stay tuned! I should also take this opportunity to mention that Jesse Harms is officially no longer a member of Sammy's Waborita's. I have confirmed this is indeed accurate, occurring a couple of weeks ago now. I hope to have more news on Jesse and his future plans soon."

This would be a cool reuninion. Maybe Eddie is pissed that VH wasn't HOF material.

I remember once reading an interview with Eddie in which he said that he made private recordings of weird, unlistenable noises. I think I might actually buy that if somebody saw fit to release it.
