Rock Clip of the Week - Van Halen, Ice Cream Man
![]()
This week's Rock Clip of the Week is Van Halen. Why? Well, this week I've zipped through Ian Criste's 2007 saga of the band "Everybody Wants Some - the Van Halen Saga" (You can read the whole thing at Google Books). It was a fairly entertaining read - Christe is no Azerrad, but he puts all the news items and band highlights together in a friendly, easy read. He favors the Van Halen brothers, and gets digs in at Roth, but overall it's a decent account of the band's history up until right before the reunion tour came together in Fall 07-Winter 08.
Did you know???
- Van Halen is the 20th best selling band/artist of all time with sales of over 56 million albums in the USA
- Van Halen is one of five rock bands that have had two albums sell more than 10 million copies in the USA.
So since I'm in that VH mindset, I thought I'd dig out a classic cruncher from the VH early days - Ice Cream Man for the summer! Enjoy!
