Diamond Dave and The Boys Are Back Together, and We Have Video of Their Return To The Stage!
Van Halen kicked off its North American headlining tour on Saturday, February 18 at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky, and while it’s obvious 57 year old David Lee Roth has had to adjust his routine for his aging vocal chords, the band tour the house down with a crowd-pleasing trip down Nostalgia Lane.
Van Halen’s new album, “A Different Kind Of Truth”, sold 187,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 2 on The Billboard 200 chart.
“A Different Kind Of Truth” is the band’s first full-length offering with original singer David Lee Roth since “1984” was released in January 1984.
Roth exited the group in 1985, a year after its “1984” album was released. According to Billboard.com, “1984” spent five weeks at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 – Van Halen’s highest charting set with Roth. 1996’s “Best Of Volume 1” hits album, which included two new songs with Roth, debuted at No. 1 with 233,000 sold in its first week. Van Halen’s other four other number one’s were their four studio albums with Roth’s replacement, Sammy Hagar: “5150” (1986), “OU812” (1988), “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge” (1991) and “Balance” (1995).
Van Halen’s previous all-new album, 1998’s “Van Halen III”, debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard chart and was certified gold for sales of 500,000 copies. Not bad for most, but pretty sucky for Van Halen.
So the boys are back again, and while diehards probably still miss original bassist Michael Anthony, Eddie’s son Wolfgang Van Halen has become a serious replacement.
