The VAN HALEN News Desk has issued the following from Destructoid.com:

"Although it’s not been officially announced, we’ve heard of this game called Guitar Hero Van Halen. We can’t be sure it exists, but rumors, retail listings, and German ratings boards seem to indicate that it does. As do the handful of rumored achievements for the Xbox 360 version of the game that Destructoid exclusively got its hands on today.

If they are legitimate (and we have every reason to believe they are), they reveal quite a bit about a game which we previously only knew the name of. Three Van Halen tracks that will be playable are mentioned by name - 'Little Guitars', 'Cathedral', 'Spanish Fly', and the instrumental guitar-gymnastics classic 'Eruption'. Real-world locations like West Hollywood, Dallas, London, The Netherlands, Los Angeles, and Rome are also revealed.

In terms of features, it appears the game will be full-band experience, as expected. “Expert+” mode on drums will be making a comeback from Guitar Hero: METALLICA, as well. One Achievement (”Ouch!”) hints at what we believe could be a new option in the game’s create-a-character, custom tattoos. And finally, Eddie Van Halen’s famous “Frankenstein” guitar (picture on the left) will be unlockable.

The full list of achievements (minus the secret achievements) can be found after the jump. It’s interesting to note the names of them, which could hint at other playable in-game tracks (i.e. 'Running With the Devil', 'Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love'). Feel free to speculate away.

We contacted Activision to verify the validity of the achievements and game details, but were told they “don’t comment on rumor and speculation.”
