Van Halen is an American hard rock band formed in Pasadena, California, in 1972. From 1974 until 1985 the band was composed of guitarist Eddie Van Halen, vocalist David Lee Roth, drummer Alex Van Halen and bassist Michael Anthony. This line-up was changed when David Lee Roth was replaced as vocalist by Sammy Hagar. Critics and fans alike consider their 1978 self-titled debut album Van Halen to be one of the most "original and revolutionary albums to change rock and roll.
In an interview with Guitar World, posted on November 12, 2008, about the making of his upcoming new EVH Wolfgang guitar from Fender, Eddie Van Halen said, in regard to new Van Halen music, "I'll be making music 'til the day I die. I've done all kinds of stuff, and more is coming. I can't tell you exactly when right now. Wolfgang is in the 12th grade and he needs to graduate first. Then I'm getting married in June. We'll pick it up after that.
Van Halen had a notable effect on the modern rock music tour with their use of the concert technical contract rider. They were one of the first bands[citation needed] to use contract riders to specify a "wish list", a practice now used throughout the music industry. They pioneered extensive requirements including power availability and stage construction details. The band's demands were not limited to technical issues; their now-infamous rider specified that a bowl of M&M's, with all of the brown M&M's removed, was to be placed in their dressing room. According to David Lee Roth, this was listed in the technical portion of the contract not because the band wanted to make capricious demands of the venue, but rather as a test of whether the venue had actually read and properly honored the terms of the contract, as it contained other requirements involving legitimate safety concerns. If the bowl was present, then the band members could safely assume the other, legitimate, items in the technical rider were being fulfilled to their satisfaction. Conversely, if the bowl was missing, or brown M&M's were present, then the band members would be within their rights to have the venue inspect the work, ask it be redone, etc. Their concern for safety was real, as in their earlier tours, not only was equipment damaged, but several members of their road crew were nearly electrocuted, both due to inadequate safety and preparation on the part of the local venue. wikipedia

A Different Kind of Truth is the twelfth studio album by American hard rock band Van Halen. Released on February 7, 2012 through Interscope Records, A Different Kind of Truth is Van Halen's first studio album since 1998's Van Halen III and the first to feature original lead vocalist David Lee Roth since 1984. It is also the band's first studio album not to include original bassist Michael Anthony, with the bass guitar being handled by Wolfgang Van Halen, the son of guitarist Eddie Van Halen and actress Valerie Bertinelli. Wolfgang was a driving force in the development of the record, convincing Eddie and his uncle, drummer Alex Van Halen, to develop songs out of old Van Halen demos. The result piqued Roth's interest, and in turn the singer brought producer John Shanks to the project. Recording sessions happened in both Henson Recording Studios, where Roth and Shanks usually work, and Eddie's own 5150 Studios.
