Van Halen 2007 North American Tour

The original Van Halen is reuniting this summer for their 2007 North American tour. They've just announced 40 shows with front man David Lee Roth. It's the first time since 1984 that Roth, Eddie and Alex Van Halen have performed together. A junior Van Halen, Eddie's 15 year-old son, Wolfgang, will be playing bass.

In their press release, Eddie Van Halen stated, "I am very excited to get back to the core of what made Van Halen."

It will be very interesting to see what material they work up for their stage show. There's plenty to choose from, even if they only pull setlists from their early catalog with Roth. Any way you shred it, you know there will be sparks flying on this reunion tour, right along with all their big hits, like...Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love - Eruption - Runnin' With The Devil - Jump - Panama - I'll Wait - Hot For Teacher - And The Cradle Will Rock - and their rockin' cover of You Really Got Me.

Eddie Van Halen has also teamed up with Fender and Jackson Guitars to build the EVH Signature Custom Guitar, an authentic replica of Van Halen's legendary Frankenstein red and white striped guitar.
