[Yahoo] Van Halen to Record First Studio Album in 12 Years

I bet DLR's voice sounds like ****.

 

I hope it is good, but it seems that most bands put out their best music when they are young and hungry and that when they get older their music sucks.

Let's hope they buck the trend, one of my first concerts was Van Halen....I think Point Blank opened for them....

I enjoyed Van Halen's last single with David Lee Roth, "Me Wise Magic". That said, I suspect their new material will suffer without the presence of Michael Anthony. Eddie's son, Wolfgang, is not a suitable replacement, however, a least Asher Roth is not affiliated wih this incarnation of Van Halen.

 

Obligatory DLR soundboard proof.

Not many bands have decades of success. U2 is a rare exception.

 

Wow, I didn't realize he was such a terrible singer.

 

Never heard of them.

 

Even their music has gone way downhill though.

But they had some hits after 2000. Which is 3 decades of success.

 

*JUMP!* Go ahead, Ju-ummmm*cough*cough*cough* HEY!!! Shut the door! You're lettin' in a draft!!!!

 

Cool news, but Roth hasn't aged well, and the Wolfgang thing is pretty ridiculous.

Mike Anthony has actually always been my favorite member of the band - it's just not the same without him. Chickenfoot it is...

not critically.

 

Yeah, because there's nothing ridiculous about following Michael Anthony to Chickenfoot.

 

More bands than you think. VH has had 3 decades of relevance on the charts. Aerosmith, AC/DC have had 4. Off the top of my head.

Despite rampant rumors, still no official confirmation of new Van Halen album
MONDAY, 9 AUGUST 2010
The rumor mill went into overdrive today when Yahoo’s top story on their homepage was about the new album that Van Halen is going to supposedly release next year. The story read, in part:
‘Guitarist Eddie Van Halen and his brother, drummer Alex Van Halen, released a statement saying, “[Van Halen] is currently in the studio recording an album with Roth that is due for release in 2011.”‘
The only problem with Yahoo’s story is that it’s not true! Yahoo must have assumed that Van Halen wrote or at least okayed the error-ridden press release from Warner/Chappell, which included one sentence about an album that’s “due for release in 2011. But the band had nothing to do with that statement. In fact, there were so many errors in that press release that one should take the little Van Halen update that it contained with a grain of salt.
This reminds us of what happened a month ago when Rolling Stone wrongly said that Janie Van Halen “denied” the rumors of a new album, when in reality she simply said, “What is going around is exactly that, rumors. I don’t have any updates at this time.” That’s essentially a “No comment,” not a denial.
Yahoo’s story was picked up by Perezhilton.com & many other websites today. This is sloppy journalism and it just proves two things:
1) There’s a lot of people in the world who really want more music from Van Halen!
2) You shouldn’t believe everything you read, even if it comes from Yahoo, Rolling Stone, or Warner Bros.
We at the Van Halen News Desk know that fans are getting very excited about all the rumors about a new album, but we just want to make sure that people understand that the band hasn’t promised or said anything. We don’t want people to be disappointed if next year comes and goes without an album from Van Halen. Stay tuned!

 

True, but who the heck listens to critics, just check the sales for the results...

U2 sucks balls.


out.

 

sales are down for pretty much everyone.
