Here's a brief on the band at present
MelodicRock.com also report that The Very Best Of Van Halen release has been almost finalised and the details are as follows. The 2-Disc set will hit stores July 20th, with the first single - It's About Time - set to hit radio in America this week.
It seems there was considerable debate between executives whether the release would be via Warner Bros or the off-shoot reissue label Rhino. Wisely, the release is now credited as a Warner release. The final track running order is still not set in stone - stay tuned for any updates regarding that. As it is currently listed, the compilation sees Disc 1 run 76.32 and Disc 2 run 77.57.
The new tracks features are confirmed: It's About Time (4:15), Learning
To See (5:14) and Up For Breakfast (4:57). The tracks are described as classic Van Halen, with a progressive twist.
Warner's press release states the following:
* Van Halen is the #20 biggest selling band of all time with over 50 million records sold in the US alone.
* Van Halen's self-titled debut album and 1984 have both been certified 10x platinum!
* The first-ever career-spanning 2-CD retrospective from the multi-platinum superstars!
* Liner notes written by David Wild.
* Also includes 3 brand new tracks with Sammy Hagar, produced by Glen Ballard and Eddie Van Halen.
* AS SEEN ON TV! Supported by a massive $1.8 million (media value) direct response television advertising campaign to kick off on June 4th.
* US arena tour kicks off on June 11th! Their first concert tour in more than 6 years, featuring Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar. They will be playing all their hits from their 25-year career.
* Advertising running in Rolling Stone, LA Times & more.
* Syndicated Van Halen Radio Special to air this summer nationwide with emphasis in Top 20 markets.
* Major New Media initiative - grassroots and community outreach, wireless promotions, traditional online marketing including AOL First Listen and much more.
* Street Teams in top 10 markets. Broaden awareness as it relates to lifestyle events and outlets, slanted towards attracting and connecting with a younger culture/NEW VH audience. Plus Moto-X crossover marketing.
MelodicRock.com adds:
* The July 20 release date stands and is now also the reissue on DVD date for Live Without A Net.
* There remains some fear within the Van Halen camp about the reunion lasting. There are no firm plans past the release of the Best Of and set live dates, pending an evaluation on how things went.
* Sammy Hagar has been put through a rigorous exercise regime to get in perfect fitness for the tour.
* Word has it he three new tracks will all feature in the live set.
* It looks like Aussie fans will have to wait until August for a local release of the Very Best Of...
* It's About Time was set for an earlier release, but was remixed for a more commercial (radio friendly) vibe.
