Van ?

Reported by margaret

Well folks, those wacky Van Halen brothers have announced a summer tour for your retro pleasure. The only thing left to question now is which much maligned ex-lead singer will be joining them. It would seem that Sammy Hagar (not Diamond Dave) probably has the job, and that leads me to the obvious question: Where Have All the Good Times Gone?

Sh-nuh-nuh-nuh-knees, knees

Reported by erun

Well Guns and Roses fans, it looks like you'll have an album to look forward to. Nope, not Chinese Democracy, but a greatest hits collection, which the band tried to stop from being made, but, since Geffen has dumped $13.5 million bucks into Chinese Democracy for the past, oh, say what, 7 years, the record company won over the band. Look for it soon.
