Less than a month before Van Halen kicks off its tour with David Lee Roth in twenty-three years, all of the dates have nearly sold out. "In most of the major markets we put one date on sale and immediately ran into another date," says a spokesman for the tour's promoter, Live Nation. The band has stepped up rehearsals in anticipation of the September27th tour kickoff in Charlotte, North Carolina, moving into a space large enough to accommodate their elaborate, arena size stage - which features a catwalk that extends ontothe audience. In another Van Halen news, former bassist Michael Anthony vents to Rolling Stone abut being replaced by Eddie's sixteen-year -old-son, Wolfgang. "I found about it on the Internet," says Anthony, who says he hasn't spoken to Eddie in nearly three years. " I'm a littlemiffed that they're calling it a Van Halen reunion. If I was dead and they needed someone to play , that's one thing, but to me this is not a reunion."
