I'm thinking the same that the Interscope pic was for this shoot. Maybe we will hear the first single on New Year's Day after all.

**FORD** · 12-26-2011, 03:49 AM

Not seeing much of Wolfie in there. Did they kick him out of the band and hire the dog?

**Nitro Express** · 12-26-2011, 04:10 AM

I notice that stage right has some bass cabs. On the last tour it was all Ed's heads and amps.

**twonabomber** · 12-26-2011, 04:17 AM

yeah, same setup as the Interscope pic. i can't see if there are palm trees behind the drums in the video though.

i find the ebony/rosewood fingerboard on Ed's guitar more interesting. i know there were a couple in the factory video.

**VAiN** · 12-26-2011, 04:43 AM

Holy shit!!!! It's finally happening!!!

**Seshmeister** · 12-26-2011, 04:50 AM

It's a sign of how much work they have to do here that they uploaded that clip onto YouTube on the 23rd of December and it's only got 300 views at the moment. Quite a lot of negative comments on their Facebook too, mainly from Americans.

The world has really moved on since the last tour and they need to get on top of things or this could go badly. A 50 million selling band marketed like a garage band is not going to work.

**twonabomber** · 12-26-2011, 04:56 AM

i saw the Facebook stuff. one guy said something "where's that big record deal Ed?" so apparently the Interscope thing hasn't been widely reported.

**Seshmeister** · 12-26-2011, 05:04 AM

There is one guy saying the tour will only work if Dave stays off the booze.

**Diamondjimi** · 12-26-2011, 05:08 AM

I think the footage is from a video shot for a new single, but opted not to use the audio until it is officially released...

**Jérôme Frenchise** · 12-26-2011, 05:09 AM

Dave's footwork is awesome and hilarious!

Great news, but is it a US-only Tour again?

No mention of any release date of an album... but it's all good news anyway!

They're at Something! And looking Good!

Well thought, DJ, I think you got it right!

Cheers!

Maybe it's just a tour of France only.

It would be interesting to see the reaction to that announcement...

**VAiN** · 12-26-2011, 05:15 AM

So, who's ready for concert season? I'll be at show #1 - who's with me??

**Hardrock69** · 12-26-2011, 05:16 AM

Just now caught this on FB. Gonna take me a long time to download with my crummy dialup connection, but am looking forward to it. Apparently I have been banned from making comments on their page, lol.

Guess they didn't like some of the comments I made earlier in the year, lol.

**lesfunk** · 12-26-2011, 05:23 AM

I woke up out of a sound sleep 15 min ago for no reason and felt the need to check my e mail. In my box was a cryptic message titled "Van Halen -The Future" That opened to a picture that wouldn't load. I felt compelled to go to the official VH site (why????) and there it was..... That's fucking weird....

Maybe they'd CYCLE France, even!

As for the reaction here... For most of the French, nothing's happened since "Jump",
which is not so bad after all!

I hope they'll tour the UK this time, I'd fly to London or Glasgow - I would swim across the Channel if I had to!

**bluemustard** · 12-26-2011, 05:48 AM

Great news!!
Dave is awsome!

I agree that it looks like footage from a new vid - probably a single announcing the album...

If it is, it seems it is kind of easy listening stuff, with an easy, good mood...

Looking at Ed and Al, the beat and the riff don't look fast, "sounds" like something aimed at hitting every pair of ears - can't wait till I hear it anyway!

**negative** · 12-26-2011, 06:01 AM

Check out this picture some guy called Johnny Beane posted on twitter: http://t.co/KxWqchnT

Is this the same picture that Alex has on his kickdrums?

I guess the 4 trailers were uploaded on the 23rd, but have been kept "private" or "unlisted" until today.

And YouTube video view counts temporarily "freeze" around 300 views.

(From YT support: "Occasionally, when a video becomes popular quickly, it takes our computers longer to make sure those views are accurate. This means a video's viewcount may not update for several hours, sometimes allowing ratings and comments on the same video to climb temporarily higher than the view")

**Coyote** · 12-26-2011, 06:11 AM

Color me slightly disappointed.

Could've been a bit more... y'know... bombastic. Shit, they could've thrown in some color, too...

Nice to see Smeagol's back in the band, though.

**Cato** · 12-26-2011, 06:19 AM

is that dog a new member?

**Hardrock69** · 12-26-2011, 06:24 AM

Lol.

Would be just as effective as the current replacement for the REAL bassplayer.

**rocking ron** · 12-26-2011, 06:52 AM

Yeah, great news, great footage. Dave's the Man.
Hope they will play in France. There once was a rumor about an appearence at the Hellfest 2012. Shitty rumor, if you ask me (and I know you won't).

**Matt White** · 12-26-2011, 08:17 AM

ED looks in better shape...like he's been getting 3 squares a day............

Ready to roll..................

**Northern Girl** · 12-26-2011, 08:19 AM

Awesome! That's all I have to say...Merry Christmas to us!

**vandeleur** · 12-26-2011, 08:23 AM

Yeah I think so too.

Looks like it's not a ballad about someone's dog dying either...
