#1 EDDIE VAN HALEN= BEST GUITARIST ON THE PLANET #1!
(JULY 22 2006)EDDIE VAN HALEN Debuts New Music - July 21, 2006
Paul Cashmere of Undercover News reports that VAN HALEN guitarist Eddie Van Halen debuted some new music at the House of Petals in Los Angeles this week.
Van Halen played Wednesday night (July 19) jamming with Patrick Leonard (on keyboards). Leonard is best known for his songwriting and production work with MADONNA.
Undercover is told that Eddie and Patrick performed what is best described as an "impromptu jam of rock fusion."
Eddie, a personal friend of owner Joey House, agreed to make the rare appearance because he agrees the company philosophy of unity and beauty through flowers.
The invite-only audience included many celebrities, musicians, movie and TV stars.
Meanwhile, Undercover has learned that a Sammy Hagar / David Lee Roth / VAN HALEN tour is once again being mooted as possible. No confirmed dates have been locked in but all parties are known to be considering the possibility of the arrangement.

(JUNE 11 2006)The skinny on Van Hagar
Former Van Halen frontman and Fontana native breaks out the classics for show

The Press-Enterprise
Fontana native Sammy Hagar had a career long before he ever joined the Van Halen brothers on stage. But it wasn't until he took over the lead singing duties from David Lee Roth and transformed the band into what fans refer to as "Van Hagar" that he became a household name.
During his tenure with the group -- 1985-96 - he helped propel them into becoming (arguably) the biggest band of the era -- with four multi-platinum releases and countless arena tours. Because of this, rumblings about a possible reunion began to crop up after Hagar's announcement that original bassist Michael Anthony will be joining him onstage for 10 to 12 Van Halen songs a night on his current jaunt.
Think again.
"I try to do between 90 and 100 shows every year, and I usually throw about three or four Van Halen songs in the set," Hagar said over the phone minutes before starting a rehearsal. "The reason I'm doing more this time is that I'm finally starting to believe any sort of reunion is just not going to be possible."
Why?
Hagar, who seemed genuinely perturbed about the situation, wouldn't mention any names specifically, but he did say that it was because there is "someone in the organization that is uncooperative and impossible to deal with." He also went on to admit that the person in question is a very adept guitar player.
Could he be talking about the outfit's legendary guitar virtuoso, Eddie Van Halen? This seems quite possible, considering his documented troubles with alcohol abuse and a recent divorce from longtime wife Valerie Bertinelli late last year.
Hagar went on to say that he's still in contact with the band's drummer, Alex Van Halen -- Eddie's older brother -- but that Alex would not be joining Hagar on the tour.
"Alex is in a hard spot, but he's a really good brother and they're tight. ... Nothing can come between them," Hagar said. "I wish he was my brother."
Still, for those diehard fans out there that dream about seeing "Poundcake" and "Top of the World" played live, don't fret.
Hagar said that in addition to playing the classics, his group is planning on dusting off some obscure numbers like "Judgment Day," off 1991's "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" and "Good Enough" from 1986's "5150."
"We have a lot of the same techs and crew guys as we did in Van Halen, and when they heard us playing those songs in rehearsals, several of them came up to me and told me how good it was to hear them played that way again. ... I think a lot of people are going to be excited," Hagar said. "The whole tour is going to be a big party, and when you throw in the musicianship, this might turn out to be one of the best shows a lot people have ever seen."

(***MAY 28 2006***)David Lee Roth is seeking gainful employment in another capacity -- as lead singer of Van Halen. Again.
"I see it absolutely as an inevitability," says Roth, who was deposed by CBS Radio in late April as one of Howard Stern's replacements. "There's contact between the two camps, and they have legitimate management; Irv Azoff is part of their loop now.
"To me, it's not rocket surgery. It's very simple to put together. And as far as hurt feelings and water under the dam, like what's-her-name says to what's-her-name at the end of the movie 'Chicago' -- 'So what? It's showbiz!' So I definitely see it happening."
Despite that claim, Roth -- who was Van Halen's singer from 1974-1985 -- acknowledges that he hasn't seen Edward Van Halen "in a couple of years." The last time Roth recorded with Van Halen was for the group's "Best Of Van Halen Volume 1" album in 1996, though there have been periodic rumors ever since.
