Van Halen news

It was announced today, and confirmed by TMZ, that Van Halen have named Eddie's fifteen-year-old son Wolfgang the new bassist for the band. "Wolfie" replaces founding member Michael Anthony, who left the band ealier this year to tour with former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar.

My favorite Austin radio station reports that "Wolfie" is rehearsing with the group in preparation for a 2007 tour. While no lead singer has been named, Eddie and the group's original frontman, Diamond David Lee Roth, have both expressed a willingness to put their differences aside and work together again.

Keep your fingers crossed and start saving your money. If this thing works out, tickets won't be cheap. But I'm willing to take out a second mortgage if necessary. Whatever it takes to see Eddie, Alex, and Dave together again. Of course, this will likely prompt Mrs. Oxymoron to take a new lover. I will miss her.
