There's the band's claim (they banned brown M&Ms as a way to ensure the rider was being comprehensively read -- possible) and everyone else's (DLR is fucking insane -- yes). Either way, it's been the subject of rock rider lore for years, and it's finally been unearthed by The Smoking Gun who else.

Eddie Van Halen's red, white and black splatter-striped "Frankenstrat" guitar is one of the Van Halen leader's true signatures. 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 ...

They probably weren't really ready to let the cat out of the bag, but Ticketmaster CEO Irvin Azoff announced today that Van Halen would be touring in 2010. It was mentioned during Azoff's Q&A period in his presentation. It's unknown whether the tour will be in support of Guitar Hero: Van Halen (due December 22), a new album or both.It seem Jermaine Jackson may not have all those stars firmed ...

In honor of the RAWKIN' (tribute to you, pimpy - big kisses) Van Halen show I saw last night (review coming for anyone who might be interested), I thought I'd take the mighty boys from the Netherlands as the subject of my covers today. I'm going to dodge all the current controversy . . . you can go elsewhere for that if you want. The original Van Halen was born of some interesting factors:1. c...

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 ...

My husband Richard,...

...I've got to come clean, there's a couple of bands from the 80s that I still love that most people don't, among them: Van Halen...Back in the day, the word around the campfire was that Eddie V et al sold out and went for the synthesizer sound...even David Lee Roth thought so at one point... (I heard similar grouses about The Clash's Combat Rock LP when it came out but in my mind it is one of ...

OK...so maybe that's just me being a bit dramatic...but Van Halen on-again off-again on-again frontman David Lee Roth was involved in a near-fatal allergic reaction ...all awhile driving his car! More than a month ago Roth was driving his car in Oakland, Ontario (somewhere between Detroit and Toronto) when two cops pulled him over. When they got to his car they realized Roth was suffering a sev...

Van Halen frotnman Eddie Van Halen has something to "Jump" about. The guitarist will wed his manager and girlfriend Janie Liszewski. How does a rocker propose?Eddie popped the question a while back on August 4th. While in a private room at reknowned jewelry chain Tiffany's the 53 year-old cancer survivor and hip replacement recipient got on one knee and popped the question. (Kinda tacky if you ...
