VAN HALEN CONCERTS IN JACKSONVILLE

VAN HALENFROM 1978 TO 1984 TO RIGHT NOW

A look back at the bands career, albums

and rotating lead singers

VAN HALEN WITH KOOL & THE GANGWhen: 7:30 p.m. Monday

Where: Jacksonville Veterans Memorial ArenaCost: $28.50-$78.50

Eddie Van Halen and Valerie Bertinelli

divorced in 2007. In her 2008

autobiography, Losing It: And Gaining

My Life Back One Pound at a Time,

she wrote, Our fights about his

drinking had taken a toll. Discussing

and solving our problems used to bring

us closer, but now it wore us out.

Originally from the Netherlands, Eddie and Alex Van Halen

came to California with their family. The brothers, trained in

classical piano, began a hard rock band called Mammoth.

After playing around Pasadena, they met David Lee Roth.

The eventual Van Halen began using that name in 1974.

EDDIE VAN HALEN

VALERIE BERTINELLI (81-07) JANIE LISZEWSKI (09-)

GUITAR

The famous story goes that when the Van Halen brothers

were children, Alex originally played guitar and Eddie was

the drummer. Alex surpassed Eddie in drums, and to get

even, Eddie began practicing the guitar.

In the bands current lineup,

Wolfgang Van Halen is the

only non-original member,

but his father and uncle are

the only two consistent

members.

ALEX VAN HALEN

VALERI KENDALL (83-84) KELLY VAN HALEN (84-96) STINE SCHYBERG (00-)

DRUMS

Hagar started his career as the lead vocalist and

rhythm guitarist for the mid-70s hard rock band

Montrose. By the mid-80s, when he took over for

David Lee Roth, he had achieved more fame for

his solo career than he had when in Montrose.

BETSY BERARDI (68-94) KARI KARTE (95-) Sammy Hagar and

Michael Anthony went on

to be part of Chickenfoot,

a rock supergroup that

also features guitarist Joe

Satriani and Red Hot Chili

Peppers drummer Chad

Smith.

SAMMY HAGAR

Cherone had been lead singer of

Extreme, who had a hit with MoreThan Words. When Cherone took

over for Roth, Eddie Van Halen

praised him as a normal guy, a

guy whos in it for the music, like

me, Mike and my brother.

Cherone stayed with Van Halen for

one album. The band went on hiatusuntil 2004, when Hagar returned for

a reunion tour. In Hagars 2011

memoir, Red: My Uncensored Life In

Rock, he said he left after the tour

because of Eddies drinking.

GARY CHERONE

In the early 1970s, Roth fronted a few

bands in California, including the Red

Ball Jets. The Red Ball Jets played some

shows with Mammoth, whose members

included the Van Halen brothers.

In 1985, Roth released an EP,

Crazy From the Heat, whichfeatured a cover of The Beach

Boys California Girls. When

Roth left Van Halen, he

released the full-length Eat

Em and Smile.

Roth returned to the band for a

brief stint in 1996 after Hagarwas ousted. Roth, too, was

soon out of the band, saying,

Eddie did it. I was an

unwitting participant in this

deception.

DAVID LEE ROTH

NEVER MARRIED

VOCALS

Son of Eddie Van

Halen and Valerie

Bertinelli.

WOLFGANG VAN HALENAs the son of a trumpet player,

Anthony played trumpet himself

before ultimately picking up the

bass. In the early 1970s, he played

and sang in a trio called Snake.

In March 2007, Van Halen

was inducted into the

Rock and Roll Hall of

Fame. The only two

people who showed up

were former band

members Sammy Hagar

and Michael Anthony.
