Pollstar (www.pollstar.com) has issued the following VAN HALEN tour rumor update: The tour rumor mill is overflowing. A VAN HALEN reunion with SAMMY HAGAR is viewed as a virtual certainty. The Van Halen rumors got rolling last fall when the band signed with Irving Azoff, longtime manager of Hagar, the EAGLES, JOURNEY and others. Around the same time, Hagar announced that he was once again on speaking terms with Alex and Eddie Van Halen. He and the brothers hadn't spoken since parting ways in 1996 after an argument. The William Morris Agency is reportedly booking North American arenas for a Van Halen excursion this summer. The group's last outing was in 1998, with former EXTREME singer Gary Cherone handling vocal duties. Their last tour with Hagar wrapped in late 1995; the eight-month outing sold well over a million tickets, grossing more than $32 million.

"After fours years as a member of GUNS N' ROSES, during which time the band canceled more shows than it played and released no original material, guitarist BUCKETHEAD has had enough. The eccentric musician, who wears a fried-chicken bucket on his noggin and talks only through a hand puppet, has walked out before but has always returned to the fold. This time, however, it looks permanent. At the end of last year, Buckethead became fed up with the band's inability to complete an album or tour and stopped working with them, his manager said. The Official STEVEN ADLER Fan Site reports that "Steven flew back to LA last night where he was picked up at LAX by none other than IZZY STRADLIN. Izzy invited his former bandmate to collaborate on some new music. The plan is to record two songs, possibly to be included on Izzy's next release."

My favorite is still Mechanical Resonance. The song "Changes" IMHO is the best song they have ever done. Thanks for posting the updates Freak.
I have a hard time picking one album of theirs that I like the most. I've only heard one of their new songs. It was ok. I'm still interested in hearing what else they've done.
Yeah, I haven't heard any of the new stuff and the few songs I did hear from Bust a Nut didn't interest me at all. I have everything else by them. They were excellent when I saw them Live about 10 years ago.
Bust a Nut rawks! I actually like it better than 'Mechanical' ... The new one is a good blast from the past, but I just don't hear any potential concert staples there. Such a great and underrated band ... "Got me a woman won't toke about it ... Says she doesn't need it, she can do without it ... When I try to push it, she says 'shove it' ... "
Underrated is right. Maybe i will pick up a copy of Bust a Nut. Am listening to Mechanical now, simply rocks!!!
They were supposed to play here in Austin a couple of years ago, but something came up and they didn't make it. I was so pissed because they were the main band I was wanting to see. Hopefully they'll make it around soon.
i'll bust a nut if van halen gets together and does a tour. i don't care if it is hagar, i've never seen them live and eddie is my favorite guitarist of all time.
