As a long-suffering Van Halen fan, I've often expressed that I'd rather hear new music than see them in concert playing the same ol', same ol'. When they reunited with David Lee Roth, they basically said that they are not just getting together for the tour and they expect to ...

So, I sold my Van Halen tickets and opted to play poker instead. I'm glad I did because I won! It was a smaller than normal game with only 10 people and I walked away with about $130 profit. I don't think I've cashed in a home tourney in about ...

Tonight is the Van Halen concert at the Verizon Center in DC and I'm not going. I'm feeling a bit depressed about it. I couldn't even be impulsive and go if I wanted because it's sold out. I think a buddy of mine is going. I hope he is so ...

Some lucky guy got to see Van Halen rehearsing for the upcoming tour and posted a nice write up including the set list. In the press conference, Van Halen said that Wolfgang picked the 25 song set list. According to the guy, here's the set list (this is ...
