The year is starting off just right for Van Halen fans who have anxiously been awaiting any word on the forthcoming new album that has kept the Internet buzzing with rumors for the past several weeks. And things just got even better for VH vinyl aficionados, who were briefly left disappointed a few weeks back when David Lee Roth told fans, “Ohh, I don’t know if we’re going with vinyl…” when asked

Van Halen will hit the road next month with Kool & The Gang opening selected shows, and if that seems like an odd choice for an opening act…stay tuned, because the funk doesn’t end there.

The cover art for Van Halen‘s new album ‘A Different Kind of Truth‘ has been revealed, and it’s pretty much exactly the same train image the band has been using in recent promotional activities for the record.

Much like they did for the 2007-08 reunion tour, Van Halen has crossed genres in selecting an opening act for their 2012 tour. According to Rolling Stone, none other than Kool and the Gang will open select shows when things kick off on Feb. 18 in Louisville, Ken. While the choice is somewhat of a head-scratcher, the unconventional pairing could be a lot of fun, depending on which set Kool bring, t

The Van Halen news just keeps turning up this week, and now we’ve got information to share on two songs from their upcoming album ‘A Different Kind of Truth.’

David Lee Roth of Van Halen granted a couple of big exclusive news scoops to some autograph seekers last night (Jan. 4) in New York City — specifically, the name of the band’s long-awaited new album and the dates when they’ll be performing in the Big Apple as part of their upcoming tour.

January is going to be a great month for Van Halen fans. The band is revealing their 2012 plans piecemeal, beginning with the recent unveiling of the album cover with the release date and continuing with tour details and a new song. The Van Halen News Desk reports that ‘Tattoo’ will be available to fans on Jan. 10.

With all the hoopla surrounding Van Halen‘s first album with David Lee Roth in over 20 years, our friends over at the Van Halen News Desk have dipped into the vaults and dragged out 15 photos of the young, hell-raising band making a visit to a record store — remember those?! — while on their first world tour in 1978.

Van Halen is captured in a new photograph with the bosses of Interscope records, with whom they just signed a record deal that takes them away from Warner Brothers for the first time in their career.

Silly us, assuming that a post on the official twitter account for the Grammys — “Who do you predict the reuniting band will be @ GRAMMYnoms? Does this hint make you wanna ‘Jump’ & ‘Dance The Night Away?’” — suggested that Van Halen would appear onstage Nov. 30 at the Grammy nominations show to announce their reunion plans. A source tells Rolling Stone magazine that a VH Grammy show appearance

Van Halen‘s ‘Hot for Teacher’ will be performed by the cast of ‘Glee‘ tomorrow night (Nov. 15), in yet another shocking and appalling example of popular television-on-classic rock crime. The song originally appeared on the band’s ’1984′ album, their last (so far) to feature original lead singer David Lee Roth.

According to a reliable source, Van Halen have signed a record deal with Interscope Records, meaning their upcoming album will be the band’s first ever not to be released by their longtime label, Warner Brothers.
