I just read in the new Guitar Player about this potential new band. Page 16. They have a whole album's worth of power-trio stuff already recorded. The New Van Halen with Satch. OMG- I can't wait. This will be AWESOME.

Check it out:

I have a student whose parents bought a pair of VIP tickets for the Van Halen show in Tampa, FL last week, tickets were $450 EACH 8O They had front seats at the catwalk and 6 rows from stage. They had a meet and greet party before the show where they DIDN'T meet or greet the band :rolleyes...

Just discovered Extreme are back together and there will be a new album and world tour.How cool is that! :D I know there have been rumours this will happen,but now it really is happening. Rock on!:) www.myspace.com/extreme

Oh dear. Someone please sack the guitar tech.

There's a real problem when you take your bass player's vocals and put them on tape so use can use them live on tour. They also photoshoped him out of the old pictures, and took him of the album credits!

From USA Today: That Van Halen reunion? Never mind The Van Halen reunion tour featuring the return of David Lee Roth has been postponed indefinitely, as first reported by Pollstar, and confirmed by a member of Van Halen's camp who requested anonymity. Tickets for the 40-date outing, announced...

Okay, there is alot of dislike of this album. and i can see why, some of the songs are abruptly stopped, and seem to want to go on, but don't. i can understand if you are expecting to hear van halen, this isn't the album for you. but if you leave that aside, and actually listen to the...

Any Van Halen fans hang around here? Perhaps a silly question to ask, but I'm just curious! What's you're fave VH album? Mine is 5150. P.S. Among the VH fans here, are there any members of the eddievanhalen.com forums lurking around here? I'm a member over there, username Heavy_Metal_Hero...

Extreme is playing 3 shows at the end of June/beginning of July. Details are on Gary Cherone's website. Maybe more, who knows? OK, "on tour" is likely a stretch, ;) but it is the original lineup.

Just quickly scanned through a recorded program of "Guitar Expo 92, Seville" recorded from Korean TV by a buddy of mine. It looks like Queen guitarist Brian May was the emcee for the whole thing, with other musical guests besides Vai and Satriani. I assume it was in 1992. Both JS and SV went...

Okay, so no responses on the last one. I'll try one more time with a song everyone knows, then I'll stop boring you :D. This is my cover of VH's "I'll Wait". It's all done on guitar though, no keyboards. I always loved the song but hated the keys, so here's my version...

OMG! lol Just check out Paul Gilbert's website and saw this... Come on lad, this is gonna be shredtastic :mrgreen:

Anyone else see this in this month's Entertainer? Paul Gilbert, Mike Portnoy, Billy Sheehan, and Gary Cherone doing a Who tribute band at Durty Nellies, which I think only holds a few hundred people. I want to see Gilbert bad, but I just can't get excited about this.

I wonder we all always telling people about the guitar players. How bout singer ?? Mine is always and only Steven Tyler

Still reading mixed reviews... I'm hoping they're getting better as the tour goes on. Wondering if anyone has thoughts/news on how it's going now that the tour has been going on for a bit? I'm going to see them this coming Wednesday, they are the ONLY band that I have never been able to see...

saw this DLR blurb where he mentions his superband and Vai... http://www.vhnd.net/articles/040413-02.shtml Dave is the (only) man for VH, but often incomprehensible. It is interesting he prased it a "dead-end" (very true in retrospect). He seems to be saying Vai was overplaying ("weedly...

melodicrock.com has posted a clip of the new VH single, called "It's About Time." http://www.melodicrock.com/audio/VanHalen-ItsAboutTime-Edit.mp3 Yeah, and it's about time Eddie picked a key and stuck with it. It's obvious he's been writing millions of hours of music over the last five years...
