Posted: October 30, 2006 in Uncategorized

Just wanted to let everyone know that my family and I moved successfully to our new house. Of course I had to move the day it poured with 60 MPH winds! Right now I am typing amongst the boxes. The good people at Cox Communications got the cable, phone, and computer up and running in [...]

From Melodicrock.com: No more teasing. Never tease where Van Halen is concerned… I have information from a highly placed source that Van Halen will likely tour in 2007 with David Lee Roth as frontman.
