Veteran rockers Van Halen unveiled plans on Monday for a tour with original lead singer David Lee Roth returning to the stage.

In a video posted on the band's website, http://www.van-halen.com, Eddie Van Halen, brother Alex and son Wolfgang play the hit "Panama" while Roth runs around on stage. Underneath reads "Van Halen On Tour 2012" with tickets going on sale January 10.
Story: Hopes for Van Halen reunion dashed, at least for now

No other details were announced, but the video confirms music industry buzz that the band is together again with Roth. An album is said to be in the works, too, after Van Halen signed a record deal in November.

A separate posting on the Van Halen News Desk website said the video was shot at the Roxy Theatre along Los Angeles' Sunset Strip while the band performed "a brand-new song."

The news site speculated about a possible February release date for a new song or album, and said the record was produced by Ross Hogarth. It is the band's first full album with Roth since the CD "1984," which was released on December 31, 1983.


Van Halen's relationship with Roth has been a stormy one over the years. Roth left the band in a bitter breakup in 1985, only to rejoin for a performance at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1996, then quickly depart in another bitter split. He returned to Van Halen for a tour in 2007-08.
Story: Best guitarist of all time? Hendrix, says Rolling Stone

The band, whose early hits include "Runnin' With the Devil" and "Dance the Night Away," was among the leading rock acts of the late 1970s, 1980s and into the 1990s when Sammy Hagar replaced Roth as singer.

Michael Anthony was the original bassist, but alongside Hagar he has joined another band, Chickenfoot. Wolfgang Van Halen, Eddie's son, took over on bass.

They screwed over Roth, then Hagar, and then Anthony. Seems to be a trend.

Yep, the brothers are aholes. After seeing what drugs has done to eddie physically I would have to guess that was the key and mainly him.

I saw them with Hagar. It was a great show. Wouldn't mind seeing crazy Roth but I'm sure the tickets will be way overpriced.

I loved Dave. Loved Hagar as well. I saw the OU812 tour and it was great. However, over the years Eddies alcoholism has really done a number on the band as a whole. Seeing the original line up would be beyond awesome. I'm sure Micheal Anthony is pretty pissed off about it...

Note Sammy Hagar and their orginal base player Mike Anthony want nothing to do with Eddie Van Halen thus Eddie's kid playing and the return of David Lee Roth,

That's EXACTLY my thoughts. I liked Sammy solo, think he's a great singer.
I loved VH with Dave, thought his solo stuff sucked.
VH with Sammy stunk on ice. The only good VH is VH with Dave. Nowadays, I'm not sure..

It's not like Journey who went and got a dead ringer vocally for Steve Perry, and began selling out large arenas again. The fans come expecting to hear the old standards and they get Neal Schon who has always hated the ballads and who began as a death metal type band going back to his roots. Go to a Journey concert. In the middle of every damn song the new phillipino kid goes off to a dark corner of the stage while Schon does a two minute gitar solo. In the middle of Journey's performance, Schon gets off like a 6 minute shred session on the axe while the fans boo, wanting to hear Faithfully.

At least Hagar's Halen was palatable and mostly consistent with their earlier, happy, music for music's sake 80s rock and roll.

I liked both Van Halen and Van Hagar. If I had to pick one I liked better it would be with Hagar.

I saw VH at the Cow Palace in San Fran in 83 or 84. DLR was so hammered that he couldn't remember the words to any of the songs. Hopefully they are all clean and can actually perform now.

That's what I was thinking.... Roth will have a new Mic stand, it attaches to his walker. It'll be cool though, cause he has the tennis balls on his walker for speed.
