I know what you are thinking… Butch, bro, it’s not Wednesday! I am aware, but we are pretending it’s Wednesday all week in celebration of Sammy Hagar coming to the Budweiser Events Center this summer. Come inside, enjoy some Hagar, and find out how to win tickets to the show before they go on sale this Friday.

Legendary Van Halen guitarist Eddie Van Halen surprised his longtime fans in March, when he hinted at a collaboration with rapper LL Cool J. Now the two tracks resulting from that meeting of the musical minds have leaked online for all to hear.

David Lee Roth confirms Van Halen will begin work this summer for a follow up to 2012's 'A Different Kind of Truth,' but cautions not to expect a studio effort anytime soon -- maybe not for as long as three years.

It seems as though Eddie Van Halen is about to appear on old-school hip-hop icon LL Cool J's new album. Today (March 14), the guitar legend teased his fans with a picture of the duo in the studio.

The mighty Van Halen are getting back into action after Eddie Van Halen was sidelined by emergency surgery last year. According to front man David Lee Roth, the powerhouse rock group will perform a long string of dates in Europe toward the end of the year.

If I am in a shi**y mood, I throw in a little Zeppelin or Rush and take a trip back to rolling in my mom’s T-Bird. Now every Wednesday you get to take that trip with me. It’s Way Back Wednesday with Butch, and today’s f

Van Halen have been keeping things fresh throughout their support of ‘A Different Kind of Truth’ by working both older and new songs into their sets. It appears as though the next two tracks that might finally appear in front of an audience will be ‘As Is’ and ‘Light Up the Sky.’

Eddie Van Halen says the current album cycle with David Lee Roth isn’t a one-time gimmick. This is the future of Van Halen, and the band has a bright future. In an interview with Guitar World the legendary guitarist talks about what once held them back and what now keeps them looking forward.

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.

Classic rock fans have been left on the edge of their seats for some time now as Van Halen has threatened to put out a new album and even tour. Well, both are very true, the new album is called A Different Kind of Truth and set to be released February 7 and will be preceded by a new single called "Tattoo," which will debut tomorrow,  January 10. Perhaps the oddest part of all this Van Ha

Van Halen are reportedly going to appear at the Grammy nominations show on Wednesday, Nov. 30 to make a “special live announcement,” presumably regarding their much-discussed new album and tour.
