VHND Readers Poll: Dave Is Back
April 3, 2000 - Thanks to the 23,794 people who participated in our latest Van Halen poll. The following question was asked: Do you believe the rumoured Van Halen/David Lee Roth reunion will happen? The result was a landslide, and shows the current optimism amongst the die-hard fans.
If you haven't already, check out the latest additions to the rumour file section of the site (scroll down and right). Send in your rumours if you don't see them listed. Showbiz gossip columns are still buzzing with the Van Halen reunion rumours. This article from the Orange County Register focuses on the much anticipated Van Halen and Supremes reunions. It quotes New York concert industry analyst Bob Grossweiner as follows: "They've already booked 10 stadiums, but who knows with those guys? They don't talk to each other half of the time." April 1 passed by without an announcement. This article from the "page six" gossip column of the New York Post was as close as we got. It quotes David Lee Roth: "We've been holed up in Indianapolis, trying to keep a lid on this. We're getting ready for a monster tour." Keep in mind the publishing date: April Fools Day. The wait continues...
New Hagar Album Due Later This Year 
April 17, 2000 - While Van Halen and David Lee Roth fans wait to see if the reunion rumours have any merit, Sammy Hagar is getting on with the job. Last Friday saw the official launch of Sammy's new web site, cabowabo.com The site features information about Sammy's Cabo Wabo cantina (formerly co-owned with Van Halen), his own brand of tequila, and his new line of apparel. On the recording front, Sammy is currently recording a new album. His official site reports that the initial plan was to record two songs for a planned anthology. Apparently Sammy liked the songs so much he has decided to keep going and make a whole new album. Tentatively titled "Ten Thirteen", the aim is to have the album released around the time of Sammy's 53rd birthday (October 13, 2000).
Sammy's World Record Attempt 
April 27, 2000 - Sammy Hagar and an army of drinkers are planning to break the world record for the most shots consumed at one time. The world record attempt will take place on Cinco de Mayo (May 5) at Sammy's Cabo Wabo Cantina in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Fittingly, the record attempt will be made using Sammy's own Cabo Wabo Tequila. The Red Rocker will also play three shows at the club with his band on May 2, 4 and 6. The recording of Hagar's next album at his home studio is progressing well. Four songs have been recorded so far, and are being shopped to various labels. MCA dropped Hagar after the Red Voodoo album, allegedly due to poor sales. This is a surprise, considering the album sold 317,486* copies. Marching To Mars sold 344,991* copies. * Sales stats courtesy of Sound Scan - current at January 18, 2000. |
