Iron Maiden have not and probably never will be in the "Rock and Roll" Hall of Fame. The Hall is run by a group of low-lives from Rolling Stone magazine who registered an official sounding name and each year nominate "hip" artists for them to hang out with and their talentless friends. As such, most of the artists in the hall can barely be described as "rock and roll" in any way, and I would rather such an outstanding band like Iron Maiden not be included in such a list of hacks.

Van Halen has sold 80 million albums worldwide, and have had the most number-one hits on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. During the 1980s they also had more Billboard Hot 100 hits than any other hard rock or heavy metal band. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, Van Halen is the 19th best-selling band/artist of all time with sales of over 56 million albums in the U.S., and is one of five rock bands that have had two albums sell more than 10 million copies in the U.S. In 2008 they became one of the best paid live acts in the world, over a decade after performing the same feat in the early eighties in regards to their huge payout for headlining the US festival. In 1999, the RIAA certified Van Halen diamond, for ten million U.S. sales.

He doesn't seem to be faithful to any one brand of anything for too long before switching it. He has signature guitars and amps and equipment from all kinds of different companies and sponsors that he uses.

2012- All EVH signature gear

Ky-Mani Marley, yet another Bob Marley son to carry on the family tradition, served as opening act for this show, and he and his talented reggae band laid down a very impressive 30-minute set. Starting February 22, 2008 the opening act will be Ryan Shaw. See info below from www.thisisryanshaw.com website. In yesterday's announcement ceremony for the 50th annual Grammy Awards, Ryan Shaw was recognized in the category of Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance for "I am Your Man" from his debut release This Is Ryan Shaw. This marks Shaw's first Grammy nomination.

The critical acclaim continues as People Magazine recently declared, "Ryan Shaw possesses a voice and style that belong to another era, when R&B was about real singers, real instruments and real songs." The San Francisco Chronicle stated, "He achieves the perfect balance between raw passion and melisma-rich vocal prowess."

Almost all are platinum (1,000,000), many are multi platinum, 2 are gold (500,000- "VH3" and "A Different Kind of Truth) , and 2 are diamond (10,000,000- "Van Halen" and "1984").

Yes, he is. He is currently recording a new album with the rest of Van Halen.

6 albums with David Lee Roth, 3 with Sammy Hagar, 1 with Gary Cherone, 1 live, 2 greatest hits, and 1 currently in the making. That makes 14 for all you idiots who don't know anything.

OK- So Hagar's 5150, OU812, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, and Balance = 4 for all of the idiots out there genius? Or by your math 3? BTW...Roth #7, "A Different Kind of Truth" is awesome!

Eddie invited Patty Smyth of Scandal to replace Roth but she refused. Eddie was then introduced by way of a mutual auto mechanic to Sammy Hagar, formerly of 1970s band Montrose, and at that time a solo artist coming off a very successful year (his 1984 album VOA had yielded the hit single "I Can't Drive 55'"). Hagar agreed to join, also serving as a rhythm guitar onstage to add to the Van Halen sound. The 1986 Van Halen album 5150 was a hit, becoming the band's first #1 album on the Billboard charts.

Close, but:

Although Eddie did want Smythe for the Roth replacement, she was never offered the job. Alex and Valerie forbid the offer from happening. Hagar and Ed had similar Lambos, and were indeed introduced through their mechanic, Claudio.

Arie Luyendyk was born on September 21, 1953.

In 1974, The Van Halen bros met David Lee Roth and Michael Anthony. A few months after that, they started the band Van Halen. They became very popular around LA. The bassist for Kiss saw them playing at a club, he really liked them. After the show he asked them if he could pay for their first recording, of course, they accepted the offer. Soon after that, Eddie signed a recording deal with Warner Brothers. Then they came out with the hit single "Runnin' with the Devil." Within six months of its release, it made platinum status.

Yep. Learn'em.

Avy Lee Roth the pornstar is his daughter.

David lee Roth has never acknowledged fathering any child. this woman and another came hes their father but its nothing more than that. he was the first rock star noted for having paternity insurance to protect himself from such events. hes never been sued for child support or alimony.

.....James Brown.... i love that song =) .....James Brown.... i love that song =)

Acordingf to an issue of Guitar World, his Frankenstrat is consittered priceless. But you can only find out at auction. If you use his once played Charvels that he used on his 2007-2008 tour, which the highest one (New Your) sold for $80,000, you can only imagine what his Frankenstrat would sell for. But, from what I understand, this guitar is so destroyed, its unplayable.

David Lee Roth never left the Van Halen band. He still tours with them.

Actually David Lee Roth officially left the band on 01 April 1985. But did re-unite to do a few songs with them in 1996 only and then came back just for a re-unite tour in 2003.

The Fender replica sold for $25,000 but they've been selling for $8,000 on eBay. They say if Eddie ever sold his original at auction it would sell well in excess of a million dollars, setting a new record for most expensive celebrity guitar ever sold.

The Fender replica, unfortunatly, is not a very acurate replica. There are many "flaws". Certain markings, the reflectors on the back, etc, are wrong. It also doesnt have the tone it should for such an expensive guitar.

The Eddie Van Halen Guitar company makes the Eddie Van Halen Guitar line. The Eddie Van Halen Guitar line can be purchased on the official EVH webpage.

hey... VAN HALEN !!!!
