Guitar Hero: Van Halen previewed in LA

The long-awaited Guitar Hero: Van Halen was previewed at the E3 Expo in Los Angeles this week, with a trailer for the game surfacing on YouTube. Although the current lineup of singer David Lee Roth, drummer Alex Van Halen, guitarist Eddie Van Halen and bass player Wolfgang Van Halen are seen in the trailer, there's no word on whether former members Michael Anthony, Sammy Hagar and Gary Cherone will appear in the game as well. Although the avatars of Roth and the elder Van Halens seem to be taken from both the late Seventies and the present, teenager Wolfgang appears the same throughout.

The game is said to feature 25 classic Van Halen songs as well as what's described as "three signature Eddie Van Halen guitar solos." It's not known whether any songs outside the David Lee Roth era of the group will be included.

Weezer, Queen, Blink-182, the Offspring and Queens Of The Stone Age are among the other acts featured in the game, which is due out later this year.

Guitar Hero: Van Halen will be the third edition of the game to be centered on one act, following earlier titles built around Aerosmith and Metallica.
