The crossover marks GWAR’s first video-game appearance in more than 30 years and will make its playable debut at PAX West in Seattle, September 4–7. The band’s team is designed to be the most destructive squad in the game, bringing plenty of blood, violence and chaos to the gridiron.
ALEX VAN HALEN KNIGHTED BY THE NETHERLANDS
Van Halen drummer Alex Van Halen has been awarded one of the Netherlands’ highest civilian honors — being named a Knight in the Order of the Lion of the Netherlands. The 73-year-old musician received the honor Tuesday in Nijmegen, the city where he and his late brother Eddie lived before moving to the United States in 1962. Nijmegen’s mayor presented Alex with the award, recognizing his contributions to music. Alex said he was grateful for the honor and viewed it as something to “live up to.” Alex and Eddie formed Van Halen in 1972, going on to become one of the biggest rock bands of the 1980s. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.
