Man I can't wait to see the ceremony when Van Halen get inducted, not just because they deserve it, but to see which guys show up! Now that Dave & Sammy are gonna tour together without the other VH guys, just who all is getting along here?! Maybe they can put Gary Cherone in between the whole bunch of 'em. Hopefully they'll call a truce as well and all of 'em will make it (except Gary).
