Activision finally confirms Guitar Hero: Van Halen

I know I'm getting it... anyone else?

[kwame k]

I hope they're doing this stuff to keep their name out there for a new album and tour.

Well of course it's Van HALEN, not Van Hagar. Otherwise they would have to change the name of the game to "Keyboard Hero"!

Oddly enough, the controller works pretty much the same.

Update: Activision's Senior Vice President of Global Brand Management (whew!) told us, "Oh this is definitely Van Halen, not Van Hagar," which is a plus since David Lee Roth is back with the band and they just finished a successful tour. There's a very slim chance that the rockers might show up at E3, so keep your eyes and ears peeled.

I heard of a possible August 29 release date.

Guitarist Eddie Van Halen recently said in an interview that work on a new VAN HALEN album could begin later this year.

Ok, lets not get too carried away now.

You betcha! I'll pick it up.

Thank God there will be no Hagar shit...

I'm curious to see what tracks from other bands they throw in there.

It certainly won't be 100% VH.

The Key-tar! Outstanding!

Where's Jan Hammer when you need him?

Then you could recreate his jam with SpEd at the Les Paul tribute...

Great news. Wolfie's graduating and Eddie's getting married, so let them both have the summer off, and then after Labor Day, hit the damn studio. Release the album next March and then kick off a world tour. If they wanted to push the album right out of the starting gate, they could start the tour in the Southern hemisphere, as they have done before (South America 1983 or for that matter, beginning the VDIII tour in Australia - which deserves to see the REAL Van Halen at least once)

NEVER post keytar image again.

Never do this!

I can't wait to see what Eruption will look like in guitar hero form, and to play and fail it miserably.

As well as a melody of Van Halen tracks and screams, the game will also feature guest act music from the likes of Queen, Weezer, Blink-182, The Offspring and Queens of the Stone Age, says Activision.

I'm surprised to hear you have to unlock the Frankenstrat. How can they base a game on CVH and not have the iconic guitar available unless you start of with the b/w version. Hope we don't see the Wolfgang. (guitar or son)

Game or no game, that did not look easy....
