It may not have been your typical rock tour announcement, but entertainment tycoon Irving Azoff essentially revealed that Van Halen will launch another concert tour in 2010. Perhaps the band will be sporting a new album by this time, but even if that’s not the case, the second go-around with the one and only David [...]

Say what you will about Van Halen now, but there was a day when they were the baddest, most imitated band on the planet. They made metal a music palatable even non adolescent boys (read: actual real live women!) and changed the face of what party rock was.While Van Halen is most known for the guitar virtuosity/pyrotechnics of Eddie Van Hallen, but I think this track will rove that ol' Diamond ...

I mean, if Jason Bonham were to wheel the remaining members of Led Zeppelin out in wheelchairs and ask people to pay $250 a seat to see them, $300 for nosebleed seats, I'd go see Zep if they were playing 250 miles within where I lived.As bad-ass a band as Van Halen was, do they still carry the same water as they used to?

In fact, it's so closely associated with the guitarist, Van Halen had the color scheme copyrighted in 2001. Now he's suing Nike because he says the sportswear giant put a similar design on one of their Dunk Lows sneakers, Spinner reports. In the lawsuit Eddie and his ...
