The divorce between Van Halen's David Lee Roth and the rest of the band was always an acrimonious one. Despite the post-Roth drama and the indisputable fact that the Sammy Hagar-led version of Van Halen had its own measure of success, fans have always wanted a reunion between Roth and Eddie Van Halen and company...

The four men who make up Tiger Flowers are really busy these days. They've been tracking songs for their EP, playing a ton of shows -- like playing with Premonitions of War and the Red Chord on April 25 -- and to top it all off they have consuming day jobs...

One jam session in Las Vegas brought Chickenfoot together, but chemistry is what's kept them together -- and that's what is leading to a second album. "Every time we play, we have a really good time, and we all play stuff that we'd never be able to play with our other bands," guitarist Joe Satriani tells Noisecreep about the supergroup, which also features former Van Halen members Sammy
