Eddie Trunk spent his entire “Trunk Nation” radio show on March 14th talking about what Van Halen should do next. And has made up his mind — he’s hoping for what he refers to as “The Ultimate Van Halen Situation.”

“That is the potential of a tour that [Sammy Hagar] would be willing to do that would also include David Lee Roth. Both Sam and Dave doing a set with Van Halen, doing their material, and then maybe come out at the end to do some jam and, of course, Michael Anthony would be the bass player.”

  • LarryLurex70 LarryLurex70 That’s an interesting thing for him to say. When I go see Maiden play, it’s not to hear Dickinson sing. But, he’s always been a hell of a frontman. Kinda like someone else I’m reminded of.
