Earlier this month, Van Halen released A Different Kind of Truth, their first new studio album with frontman David Lee Roth since 1984 -- the album and the year.
A Different Kind of Truth moved over 180,000 units in its first week on sale, good enough to land it at No. 2 on the Billboard charts.
Van Halen kicked off a North American tour in support of their new album this past weekend in Louisville, Kentucky.
