DLR Tour - 2nd Leg
September 10, 1999 - We've just received official confirmation from davidleeroth.com that David Lee Roth is definitely going back on the road for a brief tour this month! Most of the rumoured tour dates we've had listed for the past few weeks have been confirmed, the exceptions being the October 7, 8 and 9 dates. The full list of dates can be found in the table below. After the mini-tour, Dave will go back into the studio to record the followup to DLR Band. No mention was made of the rumoured collaboration with John Lowery, but Dave's site is hinting that fans who go to the final 9 shows of 1999 may hear new material from the forthcoming album. If you get a chance to see the shows, feel free to add your review to the largest and most popular archive of DLR Band tour reviews on the internet, right here on the Van Halen News Desk.

Inside - Issue 14 
September 22, 1999 - Issue 14 of the official Van Halen magazine, The Inside, is available now. The current issue is entirely focused on the band's first world tour in 1978. In it you will find tons of never-before-seen photographs of a very young Van Halen, taken during the tour that established them as a force to be reckoned with in the pre-MTV rock scene. Click here for a sneak preview of the issue. DVD Update: The DVD version of Video Hits Volume 1 will be released on November 2 in the USA. The "special bonus" not found on the VHS release is rumoured to be the video for Without You. Album Update: The band are still working hard on the new album with producer Danny Kortchmar. Nothing new has been leaked out of 5150 since our last update. Look for the new album in early 2000, followed by a world tour.
The Return Of Ted September 27, 1999 - David Lee Roth has just informed The Inside that he is very pleased to have Ted Templeman as the producer for his next CD. Dave is keeping his current band and road crew for the next album and tour, both out in early 2000. John Lowery will return as the main songwriting collaborator, although Bart Walsh and Terry Kilgore may also contribute to songwriting. Walsh and Kilgore are expected to handle all guitar duties. Twelve songs have been written so far. Working titles include Stomping Grounds, Use My Hand, I Won't Look and China Town. There will also be a surprise cover song on the new album, which is yet to be titled. The DLR Band will head back into the studio one week after the current tour finishes (the last date is at the House of Blues in Las Vegas on October 2.) |
