Sevendust’s new album is scheduled to drop on April 1 (…unless that’s just a Fool’s joke…), and Rose and the rest of the ‘Dust dudes will be hitting U.S. roads soon after on the Rockstar Energy Mayhem tour. Rose has chatted a bit about the tour with Blabbermouth.

Yet. And the brothers Van Halen (count ‘em three strong now–Alex, Eddie, and Wolfgang) seem to be getting along well enough with Roth to extend their tour into 2008.
Somewhere in hell there’s a snowball laughing.
[update]: Here is Rolling Stone’s review of Van Halen’s Madison Square Garden gig. Par for the bloody fucking course, not a thing is said about Alex’s playing.
