Alfred Music Publishing, the official print music publisher of thousands of popular artists, songwriters, and composers, has released “A Different Kind Of Truth”, the album-matching songbook to Van Halen’s first studio album since 1998, and the first since 1984 with lead vocalist David Lee Roth.
Eddie Van Halen – the king is back!
Here’s Eddie’s solo from tonight’s private show for friends and family at the Forum in LA. It was a dress rehearsal for the forthcoming tour. Compare this to the solo he played on the Live: Right Here Right Now live video 20 years ago – whoa. And check out the energy towards the end – he even throws in a few classic EVH jumps!
REVIEW: Van Halen – A Different Kind Of Truth
Fourteen years since their last full album of original material and 28 since their last album with David Lee Roth, Van Halen finally, triumphantly returns with A Different Kind Of Truth. Sure, Michael Anthony is no longer there, sure Dave’s voice sounds a little more weathered than it did during his original run, and EVH’s guitar tone is fizzier and more distorted than it ever was in the early 80s, but hey, you can’t have everything exactly as it was three decades ago.
Ladies and gentlemen… Van Halen – “Tattoo”
[geo-out country=”Australia” note=””]Below are some shopping links for the sweet sweet EVH Wolfgang Stealth, which I think a lot of people are going to want this year!

EVH Wolfgang Special Stealth Electric Guitar Satin Black[/geo-out]
EVH Wolfgang bass. Cool.
Notice the EVH Wolfgang bass played by Wolfgang Van Halen at the band’s Cafe Wha? gig the other night? Check out the pic below from VHND.com. I wonder if these will make it into production. Imagine one with a stained black flamed maple top. A five-string version would be pretty badass too.
