Geocaching and music!
What better way to pass the time between caches than to listen to
some great music. This series is designed to give you a little
break while traveling on the highways. The caches are named after
bands I like or tunes that happened to be playing when it came time
to hide a cache.
None of the hides are meant to be difficult to find.
Drive safe, Cache smart, Have fun!!
Van
Halen
Van Halen is an American hard rock band formed in Pasadena,
California, in 1972. The band has enjoyed success since the release
of its debut album, Van Halen, (1978). As of 2007 Van Halen has
sold 80 million albums worldwide and has had the most #1 hits on
the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. According to the Recording
Industry Association of America, Van Halen is the 19th best-selling
band/artist of all time with sales of over 56 million albums in the
United States alone, and is one of five rock bands that have had
two albums sell more than 10 million copies in the U.S. In 1999,
the RIAA certified their debut album diamond for ten million in
U.S. sales.
In addition to being recognized for success, the band is known for
the drama surrounding the exits of former members. The multiple
exits of lead singers David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar and Gary Cherone
were surrounded in controversy and mass press coverage, including
numerous conflicting press statements between the former singers
and the band. Following their 2004 concert tour the band was on a
hiatus from the public until September 2007, when new bassist
Wolfgang Van Halen's place was confirmed and Roth reunion rumors
began to re-surface, both events coinciding with the band's Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame induction on March 12, 2007. After years of
speculation, Van Halen began a tour with Roth across North America
in 2007 and into 2008. On December 26th, 2011, Van Halen announced
a tour for 2012.
