Van Halen's new album, A Different Kind of Truth
, was released yesterday to generally favorable reviews. New disk is based largely on old demos that have been circulating among the faithful for more than 30 years. As a guitar player, it's pretty much required reading for me. Edward's riffs form the foundation of a pretty fair amount of post-1978 Rock & Roll. Even if you don't hear it as much in modern recordings, it's what's everyone works on in the woodshed - which is where I'm going to be spending the next several months reclaiming my chops.
Should be interesting, if nothing else.
