Van Halen are enjoying some downtime this summer following the conclusion of the first leg of their “A Different Kind Of Truth” tour last week.
The band heads to Japan for a series of dates in November, while rumors continue in the sports world that Van Halen are lined up to play Super Bowl 47 next February.
Van Halen are now sharing more of their “self-interview” series with a new vignette that features David Lee Roth and Alex and Eddie talking about the rock and roll lifestyle – from the early influence of The Beatles’ “Hard Days Night” to their own legendary party years on the road.
But there’s a balance to be had, explains Eddie.
“People always ask: ‘What do you prefer: being in the studio or being on tour?’” says Eddie. “I think everything in moderation. If all we did was tour and not take breaks to make records, I don’t think it would be as much fun to play live.”
