Both former Van Halen members are up for the event, whenever the timing is right.

Communication's open between the two classic Van Halen members.

'It kind of bothers me because we had some issues that were never resolved,' says the bassist.

The unceremonious swap occurred in 2007.

It's been a tough year for fans, but these gifts might make things merry and bright.

He says Van Halen bassists never had chance to speak but looks forward to it.

"It's very surreal now," says bassist. "It hasn't sunk in yet."

The group had intended to reunite with Michael Anthony before Eddie's health took a turn.

Guitarist's passing leaves former bandmates heartbroken and speechless.

But not a full tour, he says.

Frontman says he was in Van Halen for several years before he and bassist really connected.

The bass player claims he 'Never heard a call back' regarding the proposed reunion tour with Van Halen's original lineup.
