Take all of these with a grain of salt:

 

- Derek Sherinian (Yngwie Malmsteen, Billy Idol) and Thom Gimbel (Aerosmith, Foreigner) have been contacted to play keyboards on the tour this summer.

 

- Supposedly, Dave has only had one actual rehearsal with the Van Halen clan so far.

 

- The tour will run on a three day on, three day off schedule, with Wolfie flying back to Los Angeles on the off days. Valerie will be with Wolfie on the tour, ala 2004.

 

- Several attempts were made to get Michael Anthony on board with the idea that Wolfie would play part of the show with him in order to cut back on what is being seen as fan backlash, but Eddie will have nothing to do with him.

 

- There will be no performance at the Hall Of Fame, despite attempts by Hagar to work out an agreement to do one song with each singer.

 

- The new "Best Of" disc has been delayed due to Eddie finding out that several cover songs off Diver Down were being included that he doesn't like.

 

- Kid Rock will be inducting them into the Hall Of Fame.

 

- All tour merchandising will feature the "Van Halen/Van Halen II" logo, to differentiate it from the Sammy-era "circle logo" that has been used in recent years.

 

- Supposedly a 20-30 minute film is being produced by Eddie's "new friends" using classic VH footage that will play before the band comes onstage for the shows.

 

- A survey is being sent out to people who ordered five-star packages on the last tour to see how much they are willing to spend on tickets for this tour.

No more Jack Daniels bass - I guess Wolfie can have a bass shaped like a juicy juicebox or a capri sun juice box.
