Van Halen's show five days ago at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was a one to remember. Although the band's lineup was not the original one (with the bassist replaced by Wolfgang van Halen), the original vocalist, David Lee Roth, and guitarist, Eddie van Halen, were reunited for their latest tour! Van Halen and Roth were able to put aside their differences and reunite for this ecstatic tour. Rock has seen few shows as large as this one. the band played in front of the largest video screen ever built and in front of thousands of their biggest fans. Classic songs such as "Panama", "Hot for Teacher", "You Really Got Me", and "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" were featured in the set list. This concert is one to remember, and their tour is expected to be one of their greatest.

Currently there are many of rock's greatest bands on tour. Some of the tours include The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Van Halen, Jane's Addiction, The Black Keys, Radiohead, Coldplay, Daughtry, The Dave Matthews Band, and many more! If I were you I wouldn't miss out on such a great opportunity as this. It's a rare occasion that so many of rock's greatest artists are on tour at the same time. I suggest you get tickets for a show near you as soon as possible because these shows will fill up fast! You may want to check for shows and venues near you. 

This week's chart for the top rock songs is in! According to billboard.com, Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know" takes the number one spot and stays on the charts for the 21st week in a row.

Just a few days ago, the genre of rock music lost one of its most influential contributors. Adam Yauch, a member of the rock/rap group the Beastie Boys, finally succumbed to cancer on Friday. Yauch had been battling cancer in his salivary gland for three years before succumbing to it. The other two Beastie Boy members, Mike Diamond and Adam Horovitz, have been greatly affected by their friend's death. Fans of the Beastie boys continue to support Diamond and Horovitz and pay tribute to Yauch. Also, Coldplay has paid tribute to the band and to Yauch by covering one of their songs. Watch the tribute in the video above.

Recently Guns n' Roses and the Red Hot Chili Peppers were inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. All I can say is that its about time! These bands are known as two of rock n' roll's most talented groups. Unfortunately, Axl Rose did not attend the ceremony with his former band mates due to bad relationships with them. I'm not sure why Axl Rose couldn't just put aside his differences and join the rest of his former band in the induction. It would've been great to have seen them all together. On the positive side, we can now know that Guns n' Roses and the Red Hot Chili Peppers have taken their places in the Hall of Fame along with the rest of rock music's greatest artists.
