Alex Van Halen

Will the other principal Van Halen players return?

Celebrate!

The rock radio host got real about the delay.

'It kind of just all fizzled,' says the bassist.

The drummer shared a tribute to his brother on his birthday.

Ex-Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony revealed he spoke with Alex Van Halen for the first time in more than 10 years and would be open to returning to the group.

While the rest of us sit around wondering whether we're going to hear any new (or old) music from Van Halen anytime soon, Alex and Eddie Van Halen are out doing more important stuff.

March 22, 1984 was the first concert I was ever able to attend on my own, I was 14 years old. The venue,The Aud, the band...Van Halen, the show... changed my life.  Fast forward 23 years later, March 9, 2012, First Niagara Arena,the only thing that changed was the venue.

The long-silent Edward and Alex Van Halen have finally submitted to an interview in support of their new album ‘A Different Kind of Truth’ (reviewed here), and the correspondent they chose for this honor is none other than the one and only “Diamond” David Lee Roth, their very own lead singer.

When Van Halen comes to the First Niagara Center on March 9, they'll have some new material to play from thier new CD "A Different Kind of Truth." Reportedly a few lucky people have already gotten to hear the new Van Halen record well ahead of its Feb. 7 street date.
