Rock Star VAN HALEN??? - Guitars101

MTV.com is reporting that a source close to the "Rock Star" TV show has claimed that the core VAN HALEN trio — brothers Alex and Eddie Van Halen and bassist Michael Anthony — will be auditioning potential frontmen and women for the show's still-hypothetical second season. The winner would be stepping into the shoes previously worn by David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar, and (briefly) former EXTREME singer Gary Cherone.

The news follows weeks of rumors concerning potential "Rock Star" second-season bands, with VAN HALEN and even ALICE IN CHAINS being the popular frontrunners. Earlier this week, a spokesperson for ALICE IN CHAINS guitarist Jerry Cantrell scoffed at the notion that the band would even consider appearing on the show.

On Tuesday (Oct. 18), "Rock Star: INXS" co-host and former JANE'S ADDICTION guitarist Dave Navarro declined to discuss the show's future or confirm whether he's been approached to reprise his role for a second season. However, he did say, "VAN HALEN would be awesome — I'd just love to sit and hang with Ed."

My first thought is that this would be entertaining no matter how you slice it. However, I just can't see Ed going for this he is known for not wanting to be "nostalgic".

Damn, I hope thats true CC....that would be the best show on TV.

I thought Sammy confirmed he's staying with VH now and in the future?

But...if they do this....let me be the first to say~

FUCK VAN HALEN!

What a joke this former GREATEST BAND ON THE EARTH has become.

Meanwhile~ I'll be front row at the next Diamond David Lee Roth show.

Seriously...the last 10 years for VH have signaled 1 thing.

REUNITE WITH ROTH!!

They get on stage in 96 for 12 minutes and the world stopped spinning and said "Holy Shit...its VAN HALEN!"

No reunion...

Yeah, I saw that two, but I also heard EVH had cancelled(he recently has reported more addiction to alcohol and bandmates say he is "unreliable" at this point). Guess we'll have to wait and see if he shows.
