Rock legends VAN HALEN have just released a limited edition 7″ vinyl single of their new song, ‘She’s The Woman'” available for free starting Friday, May 4th with the purchase of the band’s new album, A Different Kind of Truth, at participating record stores around the country (full list of stores available here).

Check out the official video for ‘She’s The Woman’ below:

Earlier this week, Van Halen New Desk reports:

On November 30th, 2011, Van Halen fans worldwide took to the blogosphere and let out a collective moan after the Grammy Awards Announcement Show aired with no mention of the band’s plans for 2012. Fueled by several stupid tweets by Grammy organizers, fans looking for a scrap (anything!) of information about a new album and tour were disappointed and convinced that Van Halen had nothing going on. Two new videos (that were uploaded to YouTube two weeks later on December 14th) show that the band was actually hard at work secretly pulling together old and new material for the new album and tour we have been enjoying for the last few months. The videos, while uploaded in December, have just now been made public.

VAN HALEN: ‘She’s The Woman’ Video Released

VAN HALEN‘s video for the song “She’s The Woman” can be seen below. The track comes off the band’s new album, “A Different Kind Of Truth”, which sold 187,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 2 on The Billboard 200 chart.

“A Different Kind Of Truth” is the band’s first full-length offering with original singer David Lee Roth since “1984” was released in January 1984.

Roth exited the group in 1985, a year after its “1984” album was released. According to Billboard.com, “1984” spent five weeks at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 — VAN HALEN‘s highest charting set with Roth. (1996’s “Best Of Volume 1” hits album, which included two new songs with Roth, debuted at No. 1 with 233,000 sold in its first week.)

VAN HALEN‘s other four other No. 1s were their four studio albums with Roth‘s replacement, Sammy Hagar: “5150” (1986), “OU812” (1988), “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge” (1991) and “Balance” (1995).

VAN HALEN‘s previous all-new album, 1998’s “Van Halen III”, debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard chart and was certified gold for sales of 500,000 copies, a disappointment compared to their previous platinum efforts.

“She’s The Woman” originally appeared on the 1976 demo, produced by KISS bassist Gene Simmons, that got VAN HALEN their record deal with Warner Bros. It was left off the group’s 1978 debut but has been resurrected for the new disc. Source: Blabbermouth.net

VAN HALEN Singer Stops Manchester Show, Berates Fans For Fighting

VAN HALEN frontman David Lee Roth stopped the band’s concert earlier tonight (Tuesday, March 13) in Manchester, New Hampshire to berate fans who had been fighting in the crowd. The rock icon was doing his thing during VAN HALEN‘s performance of the ROY ORBISON classic “(Oh) Pretty Woman” at the Verizon Wireless Arena when he noticed some violence going down in the crowd. This did not please him.

“Knock off the fucking fighting. Fuck you!” screamed Roth to the applause of fans. “What do you think this is, a fucking mosh pit? You’ve got all the best-looking women on the fucking East Coast here and all you can fucking think of is fucking fighting?!?

“Ladies, I’m on your side, yeah,” Dave added, to more applause.

He ended his tirade by instructing the band’s drummer, Alex Van Halen, to “start it back at the top… Let’s do the whole thing over again.”

Fan-filmed video footage of the incident can be seen below. (Roth‘s rant begins around the 48-second mark.) Source: Blabbermouth.net

VAN HALEN continues to roll out a selection of rare tracks, none of which have been played live since at least the early Eighties, on the band’s current North American tour. According to The Pulse Of Radio , the latest gem to be dusted off is “Hang ‘Em High” , from 1982’s “Diver Down” album, which was given its first airing since probably 1983 on Sunday night (March 11) in Boston. Lead singer David Lee Roth noted the occasion by telling the audience, “That’s the first time we’ve played that in forever.”

The band began unearthing the deep cuts right from the start of the tour last month, and so far audiences have heard tracks like “Hear About It Later” from 1981’s “Fair Warning” , “The Full Bug” from “Diver Down” , “Girl Gone Bad” from 1984, plus “Women In Love” and “Outta Love Again” , both from “Van Halen II” .

Almost none of these songs have been performed by VAN HALEN since the initial tour for each of their respective albums.

According to online postings, “Take Your Whiskey Home” from “Women And Children First” is a popular choice among fans for the group to dig out next, along with “Fair Warning” cuts “Dirty Movies” and “Push Comes To Shove” , neither of which have ever been performed live.

VAN HALEN is on the road behind “A Different Kind Of Truth” , its first album with Roth in 28 years. The tour stops on Tuesday (March 13) in Manchester, New Hampshire. Source: Blabbermouth.net
