VAN HALEN: KWIK KWOTES!

If it’s not out now, it soon will be. Van Halen’s latest album, that is. Featured on it will be Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, and Michael Anthony; of course, that’s always been the case.

he big surprise, however, is the absence of David Lee Roth—for many the heart of Van Halen, the group’s former lead singer is now out n his own, establishing a solo career, making novies and more. Replacing him is Sammy jar, a singer/guitarist with a distinguished eer in his own right. Hagar, a former member |he rock band Montrose in the ’70s, is perhaps known for his hit “I Can’t Drive 55.” Will Halen be the same? We’ll soon see.
