(Reuters) Veteran rockers Van Halen said on Friday that they will kick off a North American tour with original lead singer David Lee Roth in mid-February, shortly after the release of the band’s first full album with Roth in nearly 30 years.

“A Different Kind of Truth” will be released in the United States on Feb 7 but the first single, “Tattoo,” and its accompanying video, will debut on Jan 10. Roth’s last album with the group was the popular “1984,” released on Dec 31, 1983.

The band will be joined by Kool & The Gang for select dates on the 40-plus city tour, which opens at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky on Feb 18 with over four months of dates through the New Orleans Arena announced so far.

Tickets go on sale on Jan 14.

Van Halen’s relationship with Roth has been a stormy one over the years. Roth left the band in a bitter breakup in 1985, only to rejoin for a performance at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1996, then quickly depart in another bitter split.

He returned to Van Halen for a tour in 2007-2008.

The band, whose early hits include “Runnin’ with the Devil” and “Dance the Night Away,” was among the leading rock acts of the late 1970s, 1980s and into the 1990s, when Sammy Hagar replaced Roth as singer.

Michael Anthony was the original bassist, but alongside Hagar he has joined another band, Chickenfoot. Wolfgang Van Halen,Cheap Juicy Couture, Eddie’s son, took over on bass.

(The films, forward with additional ingenious projects like his BLK DNM Gazette, are chapter of the designer’s efforts to create BLK DNM for a lifestyle brand. Film 1, in case you missed it, was influenced along his break-up from a long wedding.) In the Martin de Thurah-directed Film 2, Raina Hamner portrays Lindeberg’s latest madam obsession—strong, neutral women (who traipse around town outfitted in BLK DNM leather jackets and pants, of course). “During the last annual I got quite inspired, nearly obsessed, at a young woman,” Lindeberg says. “She became my inspiration and my envision and I had her always in my idea while I built the BLK DNM women’s production.”

As for what’s to come in Film 3, Lindeberg says he’s focused on “the process of discovery your true expression—I have been going very hard to work deep in my intuition as many years and I think I eventually detected it.”

On the annual of the slayings, sufferer cornered self-help author Sidney (a sharp Neve Campbell) returns to the scene of the offense as a paperback signing.

As nemesis Ghostface shishkebabs cops, youth and bystanders in rapid succession, Sidney have to reboot her inner survivor and surmount her why-me-again self pity. The sequence was once considered cutting-edge: ironic almost horror-movie conventions anyhow jump-in-your-seat scary. The merely nod apt the corridor of period seems to be the increase of texts, tweets and webcams. But the entertaining Scream formula still works: When there’s a huge shiny sword, the behavior not gets dim.
