Do you like the sweet 80’s sounds of buzzsaw guitar mixed with the aromatic and distinctive smell of Aquanet? Do you like innuendos mixed with your pedagogy, and being told to levitate? You’re in luck.
Van Halen is getting back together, and when we say Van Halen, we mean the original group. We don’t mean the incarnation with Sammy Hagar before he decided to go off and invent another kind of alcohol so he could imbibe on the beach and get himself paid, we mean the one where David Lee Roth traveled with female bodybuilders and midgets, and Eddie Van Halen would play with his guitar turned around so nobody would steal any sick techniques and licks from him. That Van Halen. The Van Halen that sold the bulk of their albums and gave us classics like Panama, Jump, and Hot For Teacher. They’ve finally decided to swallow their differences and go on tour to rake in giant amounts of money that are waiting for them. Seriously. Van Halen should’ve been touring for the last twenty years, only Eddie Van Halen’s health problems, egos, and money got in the way.
Now if they can only come out with a new album – they should be able to. CHICKENFOOT did, for chrissakes.
