Brothers Alex and Edward Van Halen moved to the U.S. from the Netherlands in '67; there, father was a semi-pro woodwind player. Both were schooled on classical piano, but got the rock bug in America. At first, Alex played guitar and Eddie drums, but they hit a stride upon trading instruments. They formed Mammoth and were joined by outgoing singer David Lee Roth and bassist Michael Anthony. Soon, they changed their name to Van Halen because, as Roth claimed, "it sounded heavy like a German tank." By '76 they were a popular Southern California bar band. Kiss's Gene Simmons backed a demo tape and with the help of his recommendation, they were signed to Warners. Their debut took off immediately thanks to a huge sound, Roth's outrageous personality and vocal style and the brothers' considerable virtuosity. It's no exaggeration to cite Eddie as the most imitated guitarist of his generation. Eddie also became a tabloid fixture upon marrying TV star Valerie Bertinelli in '81. The hits kept coming: Their sixth LP, 1984, hit No. 2 in the Billboard charts with four hit singles, yet it was the last with Roth, who began a solo career. The band successfully carried on with vocalist Sammy Hagar, releasing five straight multi-platinum records.
In '96, Hagar was ousted from the band and feuding became public. Roth reunited for an MTV awards show, but the band booted him quickly claiming irreconcilable differences. Former Extreme vocalist Gary Cherone was announced as the band's new lead singer. Though the resulting Best Of, Vol. 1 was a success, Eddie Van Halen's reputation as a nice guy was tarnished once the entire affair was over. Cherone's long-awaited debut with Van Halen, entitled Van Halen III, was finally released in March of 1998. Although the album debuted high on the charts, crashing in at number three, it quickly slipped down the charts, since the reception to the album from fans, critics, and radio was mixed.

After Van Halen III proved to be the worst-selling album of Van Halen's long and illustrious career (the ensuing world tour was poorly attended as well), Cherone was dismissed from Van Halen in 1999. Immediately, rumors began to swirl once more of an impending David Lee Roth/Van Halen reunion. Things were kept completely hush-hush in the Van Halen camp until early 2001, when David Lee Roth went public on his website with an update, confirming that he had recorded several new songs with the band, but hadn't heard back from them since the previous summer. Only a few days after Roth's news, Eddie Van Halen admitted to the public that he was battling cancer, but was told by his doctors that chances were good for a complete recovery. In the summer of 2001, Eddie told MTV News that Van Halen's remaining members had penned a total of three albums worth of new material and that they were still unsure of who their next singer would be. Months later, fans were shocked to hear that the band parted ways with Warner Brothers, their label since 1979.
In 2004, Van Halen once again surprised the world with Sammy Hagar rejoining the band for a 2004 World Tour. A new album entitled Best of Both Worlds would be released on July 20, 2004.
