This is no April Fools joke. Fucking Van Halen going on a American tour this summer. First AC/DC and now Van Halen. I am so fucking stoked. Also Van Halen to appear on Jimmy Kimmel over a two night period.

As De Niro said in Goodfellas..."It's going to be a good summer".

Rock On !

:suds::clap::yes::rockon::thrasher::peace::party:


My two favorite bands ever are AC/DC and KISS plus Van Halen is in my top ten favorite bands ever. I'm forty now but was only ten when Roth originally split in '85 and i always regret never seeing the original Roth era VH i bet they were fun to see live.

Fair Warning what i consider Van Halen's best and heaviest album. Mean Street is one of my all time favorite tunes. VH were smokin' and in their prime here.

Both Aerosmith and Journey are all time favorites. Saw Aerosmith in '89 on the Pump tour. Love Toys In Attic/Rocks/Draw The Line great albums. As far as Journey goes i miss Steve Perry one of the best vocalists ever and he and Neal Schon could come up with incredible melodic tunes. My favorite Journey albums are Infinity and Escape.

Absolutely fascinating. Thx for posting that.

Eddie is one complex dude. It must be a crazy life!

I've read recent interviews where Eddie claims to not listen to any contemporary music and i think to this day he has never heard Metallica or Guns N Roses music. Not sure of he is being honest or just being funny.

I wish there were more younger kids getting into rock. I have definitely converted my son and while my daughter loves rock and her favorite is Joan Jett she also likes a lot of pop,country and some hip hop although i have a rule that she can't blast it all day.

There are tons of hot female rockers. They're falling out of trees.

This isn't news.
