Rock fans gearing up for the summer concert season and hoping to stay cool - but look hip - as they hoist their three-finger devil salutes should proceed directly to guitar god Edward Van Halen’s online merchandise shop.

There, in addition to EVH-approved high tops and headgear, geeks and freaks can also find official Van Halen-issued flip-flops in three fetching colour combos (red and black, white and black and yellow and black) for $30 a pop. And no, we’re not making this up.

In (perhaps) more relevant news, Van Halen are working on a new album with producer John Shanks (Westlife, Miley Cyrus), their first full-length LP since 1998's Van Halen III. The disc will feature Eddie’s kid Wolfgang Van Halen on bass and the return of vocalist David Lee Roth.

Sadly, even though Roth is pretty much a memory now for most people, I don't think the guy has learned his lesson. I expect he'll be the same pain in the a$$ he always was and this will be Van Halen's last album. I hope I'm wrong, but judging by comments from Roth himself, I don't think I am.

Frickin Sell Out !!!

yay!!!!

Wow he still has hair, amazing, He actually looks pretty good from this photo, now he's got his kid playing bass, okay did they fire the former bass player (what's his name?? Micheal something), I'm a guitarist and he wasn't that good, but he had the back up vocals. Eddy seems to like to hire and fire musicians. Why go to all that trouble, retire man you've got the coin.
