    Will we have to wait over a quarter century for the next Van Halen album?

    How many years will we have to wait for the follow up to A Different Kind of Truth?

    I predict another new album in four years!

    Isn't it better to just bask in the moment?

    Oh dear.

    Yes need to bask in the glory of this moment, this record/tour then we can all crave some more VH, but probably another couple years after this tour/album assuming all parties remain friendly :-)

    Shit...it took them how many years of misfires to get THIS one out? And that was against some seemingly pretty long odds.

    This one sounds like it's gonna rock, and rock well. I'd be happy enough with that.

    After everything that has transpired with this band, and considering the state of where things stood in the summer of 2006, anything that has happened since is gravy.

    You know I honestly don't care if this is it. If this is the last album and tour with these guys, this is more than I thought I would ever get. I get to show my son what these guys are all about. I have been telling him for years about the MIGHTY VAN HALEN. I can play the 6 Pack all I want, but people today need to see new stuff. Rock needs a kick in the ass. Like Billy Corgan said at the VMA those many years ago, it's time to get the Halen back together and set things right. And if that is all that happens, well that's OK by me.

    Look back over the last 28 years. Did you ever think we would ever see this again? An actual ALBUM of new material? I have been coming here for years before my 2004 join date. Seen the highs and lows. Good and bad times. And over the years we had our hopes raised hundreds of times thinking we'd get a new album. I can honestly say, IMHO, none of us here thought we would ever see one.

    Sit back, enjoy today. Tomorrow isn't promised, especially in Van Halen Land.

    Good news is VH is signed to a real record contract... at this stage in their career hard to say if there's any firm schedule for new releases or any specific quantity of albums.

    Highly doubtful we'll return to the glory years of an album a year thru Diver Down... from there it slipped to 2 years thru Fuck, then 3, then 4, then 3... then fucking 14 years...

    Optimistically... 2015 or 2016 looks promising... they ain't gettin any younger. I hope they hit it while it's still hot and they have the ability to deliver...
