Scrap That Recent Van Halen Album News

Ok so now the news is that Toto guitarist Steve Lukather won't be playing on a new Van Halen album.

Apparently Steve's quote to a Dutch newspaper was taken out of context. Lukather says he will never play guitar on a Van Halen song, ever. He did help Alex Van Halen go through unfinished recordings between the two brothers. Seems like that is all there is to Lukather working on music with Alex Van Halen.

Remember, the Van Halen brothers and Lukather are all great friends and go way back, so the idea of an album collaboration wasn't that far fetched.

So now who knows if we will ever get new Van Halen music. Just don't hold your breath.

Journey Plans 50th Anniversary Tour

To celebrate 50 years as a band, Journey just announced a big tour for 2023. Toto will provide support. The "Freedom" tour starts in early February and tickets go on sale Friday.

I have never seen either Journey or Toto live, so this interests me. There are no Ohio dates but some shows are not too far away. Will you attend this anniversary celebration?
