Van Halen - Is Sammy Back?
Heard that Sammy Hagar was getting back in touch with Alex and Eddie Van Halen. New album, world tour, etc that was supposed to be announced SuperBowl weekend. What happened? Is it all another mirage, like the David Lee Roth return 2 years ago?

Here's some news I found on the web
The official Van Halen site hasn't been updated in almost a year and a half.
"IS SAMMY BACK IN VAN HALEN?"
Late in 2003, Sammy Hagar, faced with a firestorm of rumors that he had once again connected with the brothers, confirmed that he had in fact been in touch with Edward and Alex Van Halen for the first time since the acrimonious split of 1996. The contact was characterized as friendly in nature but no promises were made about working together. It now appears that things have progressed remarkably from this time and a reformed Van Halen is reportedly rushing to complete two new songs for inclusion on Van Halen Best Of Volume II for a summer release and subsequent tour!
Final plans are still formative at this time but the hopeful next step following the tour would be a return to 5150 to write material for a full studio release!
Despite our excitement about the apparent end of our wait for new Van Halen music and a triumphant return to live performance, we must emphatically remind you that nothing in the land of VH is certain until the band confirms it.

Sometimes when too many years have passed,they just don't have the same sound.They may be remembered more for what they have done than what they may do.

Rob_nc - great post. The last sentence is very true - nothing is certain until the band posts it, and they pretty much have blown off their fans for the last 2 years. The webmaster for the Van Halen News Desk gave up on them last year and stopped running the site.
In the meanwhile, Sammy still keeps putting out some good stuff. He's put out far better music than Van Halen has for the last 6 years.

I'm pretty sure that Alex hates DLR's guts. Since he has Eddie's ear, that keeps the reunion at bay.
According to Dave, they did 3 new songs in 2002, but then lawyers got involved. Things went downhill from there fast. Somewhere in a vault are 3 new VH songs with Dave - think we'll ever hear them?
