Van Halen

In a move that's sure to silence persistent doubters and reasonable cynics everywhere, Van Halen appears committed to prolonging its latest reunion with long-estranged frontman David Lee Roth well into the summer of 2013.

David Lee Roth doesn't mince words when it comes to what's kept Van Halen from playing Australia in recent years. The group announced they'll play the Stone Festival in Sydney this April. Roth suggests they'd tour the world regularly if it were up to him.

Growing up in one of rock's preeminent musical families with a classical composer's first name, Wolfgang Van Halen was probably destined to be a musician before he was big enough to pick up a bass -- but as he pointed out during a recent interview, he says that was still able to find his own path.

Van Halen will bring their hard rock thunder "Down Under" this April, alongside classic rock icon Billy Joel, when they will headline Australia's inaugural Stone Music Festival.

There's once again drama in the world of Van Halen, with singer David Lee Roth complaining about a recent lack of activity and communication within the band, and openly calling for a reunion with original bassist Michael Anthony.

With Van Halen off the road and out of the studio, David Lee Roth has a lot more free time on his hands lately -- and as a result, he's much more likely to treat his website visitors to things like the new 'Super Floor Whitenoize Remix' of Van Halen's 'Jump.'

Discretion is definitely the better part of valor (not to mention job security) when you're part of the crew surrounding a band of young rock hedonists at their peak, and former Van Halen director of security Ed Anderson must have a million stories he he'll never tell. But that doesn't mean he won't share a little of what he's seen.

Van Halen fans around the world wound up being disappointed when the group cut their tour in support of their recent album 'A Different Kind of Truth' short after guitarist Eddie Van Halen underwent emergency surgery. But things appear to be looking up, as the band have booked three new dates for the summer of 2013 to replace the shows they had to cancel in Japan.

He's currently touring with Tremonti rather than Van Halen, but that doesn't mean life on the road has gotten any less interesting for Wolfgang Van Halen.

David Lee Roth wants everyone to know Van Halen didn't cancel the last 31 dates of their North American tour due internal upheaval, injury-illness or poor tickets sales.

Reports are hot and heavy that Van Halen is postponing an entire leg of  their North American tour. All of the bands announced dates after a June 26th show in the 'Big Easy' have been removed from the band's web-site.

The revitalized Van Halen are ready to light up the sky with their current tour. Even though the trek is just kicking into gear, they are already changing things up a bit. At last night’s show at The Palace Of Auburn Hills in Michigan, they dug deep into the old kit bag and pulled out ‘Girl Gone Bad.’
