Van Halen

Since the release of their dramatic 1978 debut, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Van Halen have been hailed as one of America's greatest and most original rock bands. Featuring brilliant soloing and rhythm playing of ultimate guitar hero Eddie Van Halen and the flamboyant lead vocals of David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar, Van Halen have sold more than 60 million albums in the U.S. alone, racking up classic hits such as “Hot for Teacher,” “Runnin' with the Devil,” “Jump,” and “Tattoo.” Through the years, Guitar World magazine has been there to provide first-hand reports on Van Halen's extraordinary career, from their early days in the Seventies playing the Sunset Strip to their smash 2012 comeback album, A Different Kind of Truth.
