Van Halen concert tickets are something that all serious music lovers should buy at one time or another. This is because Van Halen is probably one of the most important bands in rock history- not only have they made great music over the years, the have also contributed greatly to the evolution of hard rock as we know it, withstanding the winds of change alongside other great bands like Aerosmith and Metallica.

Twenty Years of Mayhem

Van Halen has been rocking the world for over twenty years- in many ways they exemplify what rock and roll is all about. Not only is it about making unforgettable music, it is also about living hard, having break-ups, make-ups, terrific tours, record breaking records and a whole lot of drama in between. Right when other bands from the seventies showed signs of slowing down, Van Halen is ready to hit the touring circuit once again, this time with David Lee Roth back at the mic and the second generation of Van Halen, Eddie's son Wolfgang playing bass.

At a Van Halen concert it is not uncommon to see different generations in the audience as well. This is because the sound of Van Halen has endured right across the decades- if the parents were rocking to 'Runnin' With The Devil'' then the kids were blown away by 'Poundcake'. No matter which generation you look at, they all have one thing in common. They would all love to get their hands on Van Halen concert tickets.

So Who's The Singer Of Your Band?

Perhaps another aspect that has always kept Van Halen in the spotlight is the on-again, off-again relationship the band has had with two of their former vocalists, David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar. In fact, many music pundits have likened it to a love triangle, a simile that proved more apt than ever when Hagar and Roth decided to do a tour of their own at one time. This was appropriately called by many as the Sans Halen Tour.

While sales of Van Halen concert tickets have always been consistently big sellers, there has been a bit of a rift between loyal fans of the band. Some feel that Van Halen sounded best with Roth at the helm and were additionally aggravated when Sammy Hagar began to systematically weed out any Roth elements of the band when Hagar joined Van Halen. Other fans feel that Sammy Hagar helped Van Halen make some of their best material and helped move the band into a more serious realm while Roth seemed happy to be a clownish frontman. When Van Halen was bereft of both Hagar and Roth, they used the talent of Gary Cherone, who was previously the frontman for the band Extreme.

Today, Van Halen is ready to be touring once again and in the end, it is Roth who will be taking the mic. No matter who is singing, fans all agree that the music will be monumental- after all, Van Halen has been around for so long, defiantly making music when younger bands have folded up and disappeared.
