Van Halen calls out fans’ Attention, Announces date for 2025 world Tour with new Album…..
The original incarnation of Van Halen—frontman David Lee Roth, the late guitarist Eddie Van Halen, bassist Michael Anthony, and drummer Alex Van Halen—blew people’s minds. It was for a variety of reasons, including their indefatigable showmanship and sense of humor. Roth’s carnival-barker presence combined with Eddie’s stellar six-string skills and the band’s frenetic chemistry made them tantalizing to watch. They played dynamic originals and reinvigorated past hits from the likes of The Kinks and Marvin Gaye for a new audience.
Roth was the wild card of the bunch. He was the singing sex symbol who leaped and bounded across the stage with the grace and agility of a martial artist. He also loved an eclectic mix of old-school musical styles—the vaudeville singing of Al Jolson, the swing music of bandleader Louis Prima, and the harmony-rich surf music of The Beach Boys. It should then come as no surprise that he brought them into Van Halen.
