To pull off this list, I went back and looked at the stories that attracted the most readers, so here they are the Top 5 News Stories of 2001. (article links will open in a new browser window) 5. One of the biggest ongoing stories this year as in years past is the rumored return of David Lee Roth to Van Halen, it seemed every time we turned around there was a new confirmation of the reunion from a "reliable source". Of course, as of yet the reunion has failed to materialize and Van Halen have remained tight lipped over what the future holds... stay tuned in 2002, there are sure to be more rumors of this topic leading up to the eventual official reunion announcement in 2005.

Tempers always flare when Metallica does anything and this article was no exception with supporters and detractors declaring war on each other in the fan speak section. |
