Van Halen Newsletter Catalouge

Postby A.J. Massey on Tue May 13, 2008 10:33 pm

I thought it would be fun to post all the Van Halen newsletters in order too keep track of the progression of the 'Van Halen World Tour 2007' and all things Van Halen.

Think of this as our own Van Halen scrapbook.

Van Halen remains one of the most important and influential bands of all time. Formed in Los Angeles in 1974, the band quickly won a loyal hometown fan base with their electrifying live shows. From the moment they released their self-titled 1978 debut album, Van Halen shook the foundations of rock, thanks largely to Roth’s peerless showmanship, Eddie Van Halen’s revolutionary guitar virtuosity and their songwriting abilities. It changed rock music forever.

The band’s first album proved one of the biggest selling rock debuts, with key tracks like “Eruption,” “Running with the Devil,” “Jamie’s Cryin’,” “You Really Got Me” and “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love” leading the way. The next year, the band followed up with “Van Halen II,” which included the hit “Dance the Night Away.”

Subsequent albums like “Women and Children First” (1980), “Fair Warning” (1981) and “Diver Down” (1982), along with worldwide touring, solidified the band’s reputation for innovative and unparalleled live performances. Classic Van Halen tracks from the early 80’s include “Everybody Wants Some,” “Unchained”, “And The Cradle Will Rock”, “Beautiful Girls”, “Mean Street” and “Somebody Get Me A Doctor” just to name a few.

With their sixth album, released in, and titled “1984”, Van Halen rose to stratospheric heights. Recorded at Eddie Van Halen’s 5150 Studios, the multi-platinum smash yielded one of Van Halen’s signature hits, “Jump,” which remained #1 on the Billboard charts for an astounding five weeks straight. Other hits from the album include “Panama,” “Hot For Teacher” and “I’ll Wait.”



The band’s record of achievement is hard to top. Presented with two Diamond Award RIAA Certified Status’ for their albums “Van Halen” and “1984”, Van Halen joins an elite short list of two time Diamond Award honorees in the history of the music industry. The Diamond Award is presented to an artist for album sales of 10 million or more units. They are also in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the most #1 hits on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart than any other band in history.



Inducted into the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame in March of this year, Van Halen has produced a treasured body of work that fans will admire for decades to come.

(Charlotte, NC) October 2, 2007 - With a blazing and defiant guitar run, rock legends VAN HALEN lit the torch on the opening night of one of the most highly anticipated tours in rock history. More than 18,000 fans, including those lining the rafters, stood on their feet at the Charlotte Bobcats Arena, as original lead vocalist David Lee Roth took the stage with the band. It was a celebration of more than 22 years in the making.

"For more than two hours, the gods delivered," writes Rolling Stone magazine's Mark Kemp.

https://app.bronto.com/static/static/ma ... s/save.gif Guitar innovator Eddie Van Halen, his drum legend brother Alex, and Eddie's 16-year-old son Wolfgang on bass joined Roth for the festivities, breathing new, invigorated life into a jaw-dropping canon of material.

The Hollywood Reporter noted "for one perfect night in Charlotte, Van Halen was nothing short of spectacular."

The blistering delivery of hit after hit played out like the soundtrack to countless sun-drenched summers and a wealth of more to come. Starting with the familiar strains of the band's groundbreaking interpretation of the Kinks' "You Really Got Me", VAN HALEN weaved in and out of its catalog, pairing iconic anthems like "Jump," "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" and "Panama" along with other fan favorites including "Runnin' With The Devil" and "Jamie's Cryin'." All of this was delivered amid a myriad of fanning laser lights, an earth rumbling onslaught of sound and a stage-spanning screen perfect for capturing Eddie Van Halen's intricate fret work.

Roth, who Rolling Stone describes as evolving with "style, grace and his eternally smart sense of flamboyant irony," pranced and preened like a possessed flamenco hitting the notes with a power and precision like never before. Jim Farber of the New York Daily News cites Eddie Van Halen as displaying his innovative style at the top of his game. "More than 25 years since he first pioneered his two-hands-on-the-fretboard approach," Farber wrote, "Eddie remains a technical wonder. Again, last night he did loop-do-loops around the melodies, and peeled into wheelies in the choruses."

USA Today reporter Mike Snider says Alex Van Halen, armed with sticks and pulse thumping grit," continued to stoke the band's fire." And Rolling Stone recalls that the headband-shrouded arsenalist "pounded his kit with a constant smile."

All eyes were on Wolfgang Van Halen who, according to Jane Stevenson of the Toronto Sun, "displayed a confidence and musicianship well beyond his age, even venturing out on the band's S-shaped catwalk by himself to get closer to the crowd." Wolfgang's spirited delivery echoes the timeless youthfulness found in the band today and tomorrow. The cradle will rock, indeed.

Up to the show's sparkling confetti-laden encore, VAN HALEN "filled the arena with hard rock energy rarely generated since, well, the band's previous forays," says USA Today.

At the launch of this momentous occasion, VAN HALEN proved not only can you go home again, but it sometimes elicits the sweet sound of new beginnings.

And the capacity crowd in Charlotte answered the age old question. Yes, everybody wants some. Shows in other cities including LA and New York sold out in minutes.

EDDIE VAN HALEN DOMINATES 2008 GUITAR WORLD READERS POLL NOMINATIONS
Van Halen fans encouraged to vote for their favorite guitarist in online poll



(Los Angeles, CA) December 6, 2007 - The sound and style are unmistakable. For more than 30 years, legendary axe master and innovator EDDIE VAN HALEN has been entertaining millions. Like some sort of fret frenzied pied piper, he continues to inspire countless others and the readers of Guitar World magazine are taking note.

As he wows audiences on the highly acclaimed VAN HALEN tour, EDDIE VAN HALEN scores four nominations in the Guitar World 2008 Readers Poll.

"Like Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page, it would be almost impossible to imagine what modern rock would sound like without him," says Guitar World Editor-in-Chief Brad Tolinski. "Techniques that he invented or popularized are now part of pop culture."

So it comes as no surprise to find EDDIE VAN HALEN'S name in the Best Shredder, MVP of 2007 and Comeback of the Year categories. Both of his 2007 Guitar World cover appearances, which Tolinski says were two of the best-selling issues of the past year, are up for the Best Guitar World Cover.
"Almost every young, hot band that Guitar World has covered in the last year or two cites Eddie as important," Tolinski adds. "Lamb of God's Willie Adler, Zakk Wylde, Children of Bodom's Alexi Laiho and many others all bow to the king."

But it's not just his playing that causes EDDIE VAN HALEN'S name to rise to the top. His technical guitar innovations are part of the collective consciousness helping ignite legions of practice rooms.

"Ed introduced the locking nut system, popularized the idea of the custom guitar, and designed several amps and guitars used by millions of guitarists the world over," explains Tolinski. "Eddie taught guitarists that it is okay to invent, re-invent and innovate. He has liberated three generations of players, and encouraged them to do their own thing."

EDDIE VAN HALEN'S significance has never been more evident than today. Earlier this year, Eddie's trademark Frankenstein guitar was painstakingly reproduced by Fender and offered to the public. In March, VAN HALEN secured its spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. By fall, the latest version of VAN HALEN hit the road featuring Eddie on guitar, David Lee Roth on vocals, Alex Van Halen on drums and Eddie's 16-year-old son Wolfgang on bass. An explosion of critical praise and a People's Choice Award nomination soon followed.

Players and fans alike have the opportunity to give thanks for EDDIE VAN HALEN'S contributions by taking part in the Guitar World 2008 Readers Poll online at www.guitarworld.com. All votes received by December 31, 2007 will be tallied, and the winners will appear in an upcoming issue of Guitar World.

A COOL YULE AND A ROCKIN' NEW YEAR, VAN HALEN STYLE
VAN HALEN thanks you for an amazing year and more to come.



(Los Angeles, CA) December 19, 2007 - Amid the hustle and bustle of the holidays, VAN HALEN would like to wish everyone an amazing holiday season and say thanks for such steadfast support in 2007.

The past year has been one of the greatest in VAN HALEN history. And it wouldn't have been possible without you. A place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and award nominations were just a few of the VAN HALEN highlights.

But it was the 2007 tour that arguably became one of the most monumental rock events of the year and perhaps of all time. Eddie Van Halen, David Lee Roth, Alex Van Halen and Wolfgang Van Halen reinvigorated the band's timeless tunes and brought arena rock pageantry back to the masses. As VAN HALEN readies for a much needed holiday break, it's back on the road in 2008 to continue the tour the Hollywood Reporter calls"nothing short of spectacular."

When Eddie tears into a trademark riff, Dave belts out an enduring line, Alex unleashes his thunder and Wolfgang lays down the groove, it's the passionate reaction from you all that stokes the collective fire. For that, VAN HALEN remains forever grateful.

VAN HALEN wishes each and everyone Happy Holidays and a rockin' New Year. We'll see you in 2008!

FIRST VAN HALEN APPEARANCE IN RENO SINCE 1992!




(San Francisco, CA) March 28, 2008 - Due to overwhelming fan demand, VAN HALEN announced today that they will add Reno, Nevada to their critically acclaimed North American concert tour, bringing fans one of the most successful concert tours in recent memory.

Music fans and the press have responded to VAN HALEN's 2007/2008 tour with passionate fanfare. "For more than two hours, the gods delivered," said Rolling Stone. Playboy magazine recently awarded VAN HALEN as Best Live Act of 2007 in its annual Music Poll in the March 2008 issue.

Formed in Los Angeles in 1974, the band has always been known for their electrifying live shows. From the moment they released their self-titled 1978 debut album, VAN HALEN shook the foundations of rock, thanks largely to Roth's peerless showmanship, Eddie Van Halen's revolutionary guitar virtuosity and their songwriting abilities. Their music has changed rock and roll forever.

Tickets for VAN HALEN at RENO EVENT CENTER go on sale this Sunday, March 30 at 10am at www.livenation.com, Ticketmaster outlets or charge by phone. Tickets are $149.50, $79.50 and $49.50 for reserved seating plus applicable service charges.

The band, featuring Eddie Van Halen, David Lee Roth, Alex Van Halen and Wolfgang Van Halen, will perform a full-length concert as part of Tiger Jam XI, a fundraising event presented by AT&T and hosted by golf legend Tiger Woods. Proceeds from the event benefit the Tiger Woods Foundation.

Eddie, David, Alex, and Wolfgang said, "We heard you missed us; we're back! We rev up into high gear at Tiger Jam on the next leg of our tour."

The concert begins in style with up-and-coming R&B singer/songwriter, Ryan Shaw, at 8:30 p.m. VAN HALEN are scheduled to perform at 9:30 p.m.

Tickets are available at the Mandalay Bay Events Center Box Office and at all Las Vegas Ticketmaster locations (Smith's Food and Drug Centers, Macy's stores and Ritmo Latino).

Tickets are also available for purchase at www.mandalaybay.com or www.ticketmaster.com.

About Tiger Jam and the Tiger Woods Foundation

Since its creation in 1998, Tiger Jam has raised more than $11 million for the Tiger Woods Foundation and select Las Vegas based charities through its sold-out performances and one-of-a-kind auction items. Tiger Jam was created by the Tiger Woods Foundation, an organization dedicated to empowering young people to reach their maximum potential. Proceeds from previous Tiger Jams have supported Child Haven, Center for Independent Living, Greater Las Vegas Inner City Games, Boys & Girls Club of Las Vegas, GRAMMY in the Schools and The VH1 Save the Music Foundation.

Since its inception in 1996 by Tiger Woods and his father Earl, the Tiger Woods Foundation has reached an estimated 10 million young people through character development, career exploration, scholarships and grant making programs. Programs developed and supported by the Tiger Woods Foundation all share a similar mission of empowering young people to dream big and to set specific goals to achieve their dreams.

Specific programs of the Foundation include the Tiger Woods Learning Center, a youth-education facility and curriculum based in Anaheim, California that will soon expand to Washington, D.C., and Tiger's Action Plan, a nationwide character development program based on Earl D. Woods' book entitled Start Something. The Tiger Woods Foundation recently launched the Fist Pump Challenge, an online program allowing young people to post videos celebrating a personal goal or achievement.

VAN HALEN ROCK RENO, CONTINUE ACCLAIMED TOUR





(Reno, NV) April 21, 2008 - The fans asked and VAN HALEN delivered.




VAN HALEN launched the second leg of their 2007/2008 North American Tour by bringing its legendary live show, enduring music and incomparable showmanship to Reno, Nev. for the first time in 16 years. And if the sold-out crowd’s reaction was any indication, it was worth the wait.

“The band was in top musical form,” wrote Jason Kellner of the Reno Gazette-Journal. “Nearly two hours, a drum solo and guitar solo later, the band didn’t seem to let up.”

The audience remained on its feet for the duration, singing along and roaring with approval as Eddie, Dave, Alex and Wolfgang drew from a wellspring of rock anthems. A true-to-form VAN HALEN relentlessly romped through hits including “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love,” “Panama,” “Jamie’s Cryin’,” “Jump” and more.

The band’s presentation of this iconic material continually whipped their “fan base into a frenzy,” the Reno Gazette-Journal added.

Eddie Van Halen’s rock guitar virtuosity, David Lee Roth’s powerhouse vocals, Alex Van Halen’s thunderous drumming and Wolfgang Van Halen’s bass brought an air of exuberance to the arena.

People magazine noted the band’s enthusiasm by reporting Eddie “jumped up and down and ran around the stage throughout the entire show.”

And the warm reception from the fans helped take the party atmosphere to the next festive level.

“The Reno crowd was energized and amazing,” VAN HALEN said today in a joint statement. “The band is thrilled to be back on the road!”

VAN HALEN continues their critically-acclaimed tour through June 2.

VAN HALEN ROCK RENO, CONTINUE ACCLAIMED TOUR





(Las Vegas, NV) April 23, 2008 - “We are here to listen to one of the greatest bands in history. It is my honor to introduce you to VAN HALEN!”

These words came courtesy of golf legend Tiger Woods as he announced the band at Tiger Jam XI, a fundraising event April 19 at Mandalay Bay Events Center that helped raise more than $1.5 million for the Tiger Woods Foundation.

Seconds later, the trademark hard rock eruption that's VAN HALEN was in full swing. And for two hours, Eddie, Dave, Alex and Wolfgang kept the event's energy and vigor at maximum velocity.

“In all, VAN HALEN offered a great evening..,” reported Rolling Stone. “Everybody won - which in Vegas is normally an impossibility.”

Woods, a longtime VAN HALEN fan, selected the supergroup to headline the show. Although his recent knee surgery kept him from dancing the night away, Woods caught the performance alongside a star-studded audience.

Before the set, celebrity guests gathered for a special dinner and reception with its stage decked out in Eddie Van Halen's striped Frankenstein design. This year's Tiger Jam logo had another nod to VAN HALEN with the a “T” and “J” styled to look like the band's classic insignia.

VIPs included sports greats Scott Hamilton and Julius “Dr. J” Erving, “Dancing With The Stars” performers Kristi Yamaguchi and Mark Ballas, NBA superstars Dwyane Wade and Alonzo Mourning of the Miami Heat, and celebrity auctioneer Vivica Paulin Ferrell.

Live and silent auctions had amazing items up for grabs including a 2008 Buick Enclave, autographed by Woods. Eddie Van Halen picked up the pen, too, and autographed an EVH Brand Frankenstein replica guitar donated by Fender.

VAN HALEN reached into their pockets and aided the fundraising drive with cash donations. Both David Lee Roth and the Van Halens - Eddie, Alex and Wolfgang - each contributed $100,000 in support of the Tiger Woods Foundation and its programs.

“Playing Tiger Jam XI has certainly been one of the highlights of the tour so far,” VAN HALEN said in a joint statement. “It was an honor to be involved and a pleasure to rock for a cause.”
