Holy shit this is great news!
Doesn't it figure that the first thing we hear about new VH music is from someone OUTSIDE the VH camp....
What the fuck did he marry his PUBLICIST for ?? ;)
Janie's too busy raising her profile as Mrs. Van Halen and forwarding her own career as stuntwoman, publicist, actress, etc....
If she hasn't done anything fruitful for the VH camp by this point, she never will and will be content to let the chips fall where they may.
Here's the Dweezil quote from the VHND that catches one's attention...
"It’s kind of funny, because I’ve recently been spending some time with Eddie Van Halen after being out of touch for a while. He was playing me some new stuff from his record, and I was playing him some stuff that I had been working on for this project, you know, playing Frank’s music. He actually came to the Jeff Beck show the other day too. [Dweezil is talking about the recent LA show on 4/17/10 when he opened for Jeff Beck - VHND] ...."

It would have been nice if Dweez elaborated a bit on what he heard and/or what he thought of it....
Dweezil plays "Eruption"
Zip forward to 3:28 to cut out the bullshit chatter...

Am I the only one concerned about the "his record" stuff? Sounds like a solo album rather than new VH. Not that I expect either to ever be released...
You could read more into the statement than that. Think about it, Zappa states that Ed was "playing me new stuff from his record" (or words to that effect). He doe NOT say that he was listening to actual recordings. For all we know, they were merely passing a guitar back and forth between them.
or photos from his wedding album
Eddy has been saying for years that he has been "writing new stuff". I don't know that this is anything to get excited about just yet.
Which record? Let's see....there was 6 wif Uncle Dave, several with the Fat Klown, one with Gay Sharone.
Dweezil could have been meant that they were sitting around with some hash and some Smoking Loon listening to an old 8-track of Van Halen II or some shit.
Well, he DID say 'new' stuff, but who the fuck knows?
Well, he was right about the stuff they were doing with DLR in 2000, but I won't hold my breath for this one until I have the record in my hand.
My favorite Zappa child. Moon.

It's interesting the way the thread title is abbreviated here at work. On my computer it reads: "Dweezil Zappa: "Van Halen played me
Sadly Dweezil, you are not the only one. :(
Fuckin' A. Still can't believe it's already been three years since all of the excitement!!! Well, minus the Chickenfoot/Mikey fags along with their subsequent pessimistic and crybebbi shit. *cough* Linkers and a cupla whiners here *cough* Fuck 'em cos they missed one helluva show and stellar time!!!

Love this clip, dude...I remember almost shitting my pants watching this, going, dude this is REAL...and then they zoom in on Wolfie playing bass and I go, WTF is he doing? He's strumming that thing like a Harmony guitar from Sears and it's not even in time to the fucking music.
I hope for the next tour, they have him play off stage, or way in the back like the Bon Jovi keyboard weenie...
I have to give Dweez props on this one.
Since "Eruption" first assaulted our ears, I have literally heard thousands of guitarist do their own versions (or try to), but I have never heard anyone pay as much respect to this monster instrumental as Franks kid does.
Not even Steve Vai! Steve is one of those prodigies that can translate "Eruption" onto paper, or tablature, but he couldn't play it like Ed, or even Dweez!
This clip gets nothing but mad respect from me.....
maybe one of the ten albums in the can?
Man, we are really at the point of straw grasping for any new from the VH camp. I just wish someone would grow a pair, find Dave, Eddie, or Alex, and get some damn fucking answers. Pull a TMZ on them.
I just hope to the lord they put out new stuff soon. Anything. I don't care if it sucks. New stuff with Dave is NEW STUFF!
It is very sad that we have been reduced to extrapolating from tit-bits - fingers crossed this is a sign of something positive....
I couldn't give a fuck about these news. I thank VAiN for taking the time to post it, but Eddie can rim me.
That fucker's so full of shit it's not even funny.
Ten albums in the can... maybe that IS where they belong. Down the can.
Dead people release new albums. Eddie just plays a few chords & claims it's from a new album.
EDDIE, YOU FUCKING BLOW DRIPPY COCKS, MOTHERFUCKER.
Nowgo back to showering your new butt buddy lame, shitty striped gifts.
Cheers! :bottle:
Yeah, an oldie but goodie. Particularly fitting for the above post.

LMAO at the wabbit like Elmer J Fudd
The way I see it.. if EVH is actually out and about, at a Jeff Beck show no less, and is showing off new material it has to be a good sign... I'm keeping hope alive!
I think Dweez is now past the point of playing other people's music since it's all over Youtube.
He'll have to tell a different story now. Or write original music or something.
I suddenly feel like I did back in January 2000. But until there's an official VH press release or a credible media source reporting they are in the studio or heading there, I think we should remain sceptical.
It does sound promising though...Dweezil so casually letting us know like he did 10 years ago. And Eddie did say last year that he and Dave had got together several times to write for a new album...there ya go - I'm getting my hopes up again!

January 24, 2001 - Dweezil Zappa must have a sore throat after talking about Van Halen so much this past weekend! Last Friday he called in to KSHE-95 in St. Louis to talk about the Van Halen reunion. He mentioned that six songs on the new album were done, (news that he repeated at NAMM the next day), but also added that the band is currently in counseling to keep the amicable juices flowing.
Find by "leroy" from vhlinks
AGAIN!
Dweezil's Frank Zappa Curly pubes can turn into kangaroos and kick his balls up his arse.
No amout of wanking has released the anticipation of hearing those tracks
from 2000, let alone post EVH rehab ??
What ? is Dweezil the hole in Ed's penis that doesnt get shaken after
a piss ?? Just has to leak those few drops for all to see........
That would be really cool. The Metallica documentary was really awesome. Think of all the live footage we could contribute. Or maybe some new footage will "appear" from the vaults, mysteriously... Think of all the tapes Ed would have to convert to digital... Maybe a new DVD here or there...
So much promise yet so much to waste it on.
Hmm well it's something I guess. So starved for info any mere mention of Van Halen is newsworthy.
Hey that reminds me when Zakk Wylde won best guitarist at Golden God awards he credited Eddie Van Halen, among others as inspiration and I saw a guy with Van Halen reunion tour t-shirt on latest That Metal Show w/ Rob Halford...
