[chefcraig]

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

[fifth element]

hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fifth element]

so, cannot WAIT to get a look at the tour schedule!!!

[chefcraig]

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?

Good eye, dude. Although the angle is a bit of a bluff, the images do appear to be the same.

[Heater]

Why does he have to do that ridiculous dancing? i hope he put as much effort into his singing. But I think we know the answer to that one.

Penisbeater, I'm not a huge fan of the contemporary tours. But if you didn't go out of the way to be such a bland, predictable dickhead troll, you'd have to acknowledge that Dave's singing and Al's drumming were one of the highlights of the 2007 shindig...

[Nickdfresh]

All I can say is...meh...

Usually this sort of tour trailer might include some NEW music, which is what tours are supposed to be for promoting.

That being said, at least they're not playing "Why Can't This Be Love"...

[78/84 guy]

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.

COLOR !!? these guys are too old for color !! Even Ed's guitar used to be black & white. I,m there. They were great here in 2007. Ed looks good in the longer hair again. Fucking Dave kills me. I hope his silence for 4 years is worth it, time will tell. Clip was shot at the Roxy for a new single !! Read that somewhere else.

Merry FUCKING XMAS TO US. Summerfest opening nite???

[78/84 guy]

The article I read is at music radar.com. It shows the same train photo.

[Sensible Shoes]

So that B&W photo that somebody found a few months back was legit. Now if the Buffalo rumor is true, I will be a very happy camper. But I ain't holding my breath

[78/84 guy]

I think its time to toss on the 6pack and the 96 tunes.

[Etienne]

Good news...

[Jérôme Frenchise]

The video, if it is the video of an up-coming single, reminds of the atmosphere of the one for "Jump"...

And if it is footage from a coming vid, it's fun to try and get what the music can sound like, and what the lyrics
can be about. Anyway it looks like it all sounds merry, looking at their faces.
It will feel very strange anyway, listening to the new material!

[letsrock]

God please let what ever the new music is be wonderful. Seems like a long break if Ed really has all this music. Glad to see some sign of life from these guys.

[vh rides again]

What's the 2.7.12 stand for on the art work?

Release date maybe ?

[letsrock]

One would think.

CD release,
Single release
Tour start?

I would think with everything involved in getting a tour packaged together considering the logistics some truck driver or someone somewhere would of had knowledge.

Nice to see some life again.

[aesop]

Well now...Isn't this just potentially EPIC!!!! Also, Eddie Trunk is reporting the new album is out 2/7:

Finally official VH news. The Future out 2/7, tour dates just released. Finally! Now let's all hope the music is worth the wait and kick ass

Can I get a FUCK YEA!

[chefcraig]

As Antman pointed out, 2/7/12 falls on a Tuesday, so I'd imagine this would be the date the single or album drops.

And where did Eddie Trunk come up with "tour dates just released?" Nothing has been announced yet other than a tour is in the offering.

[twonabomber]

the Trunkster says tour dates just released? i've been on Pollstar, Live Nation, and Ticketbastard and haven't seen shit.

Craig's edit beat my post.

I dunno. here's the link: https://twitter.com/#!/EddieTrunk/st...51289773690880

[letsrock]

Well either way this we do know. They are acting like a band again, and must have some plans for 2012.

[78/84 guy]

I gave up on the I wish Mike was there. If Wolf is using the bass amps it shows in the promo maybe his tone and sound will be a little heavier this time around. I thought his bass tone sounded to much like Ed's guitar in 07. Made the songs a little thin for my taste. I hope the new shit is good !

[sadaist]

Very exciting. Love the freight train logo. I hope that really represents the attitude of the album & tour. Also looks like the promo clip Dave did with his sister might have been filmed here. He's wearing same stuff and in her video there was all the Jack Daniels stuff kinda hidden in the background. Can't wait for the new dates.

Finally Dave shows us one of his herding dogs. LOL. If that dog could talk...

[Northern Girl]

The article I read is at music radar.com. It shows the same train photo.

And they named the pic vanhalencover. Is it the cover of the album? And it's called The Future? Hmmm....

[sadaist]

Good eye, dude. Although the angle is a bit of a bluff, the images do appear to be the same.

I re-opened the official VH email I got and the 1st pic is now showing up there. That's as official as it gets

The Subject line is The Future. I wonder if Trunk knows anything or he just got the same email.

[sadaist]

He probably didn't even get the 'official' email. Was probably forwarded to him by Sammy with the text "what the fuck do we do about this now?"

[Northern Girl]

Love the freight train logo. I hope that really represents the attitude of the album & tour.

'cause that light at the end of the tunnel is the front of an oncoming train...

[sadaist]

'cause that light at the end of the tunnel is the front of an oncoming train...

hehe. I keep hearing that Metallica song about that now. Who knew the freight train they were singing about was VAN HALEN 2012

[Dan]

Sweet Fucking As.

[DLR Bridge]

Freight train nuthin'. That's a loco-fucking-motive!! We 'bout to get plowed through like cattle blindly crossing the tracks. I'm going with that image being the CD cover and its release date is a place holder for the title.

Great footage! They're all lookin' good. I love the dog calmly laying there while Dave is bustin' some crazy moves. Can't wait. Needless to say.

[Diamondjimi]

This new album HAS to kill. Hope they release the singe soon!

[Northern Girl]

Not familiar. Those lyrics are from Dave's Perfect Timing!

[neuralfraud]

I'm only a day late and a dollar short here, but checked vhnd yesterday didnt see shit... checked rotharmy and the first thing I see is this thread Too bad I didn't check here yesterday!

Well i've been waiting for about 4 years since seeing them on 2/18/08 and what's another 15 days?

Cost almost $650 to take 4 people last time too... and fuck if ticketmaster's site didn't grind to a halt the second the tickets went on sale... i'd like to know how anyone even managed to score good seats like that ;0.. Hopefully they'll come to tampa again (like hell they wouldn't!) i bet they could make some interesting use out of the tesla coil biult into the st pete times forum!
