vh-1 classic has just reported a new van halen album due out in january with roth at the helm...to be titled "BOLD".

[sadaist]

A January release? Been thinking spring every time I hear rumors of VH albums. But I guess January is about right for them going off their previous releases around New years. Would be a great way to start the new year.

[BigBadBrian]

I'll believe it when it's announced in a more reliable manner.

Reports filter through that a new Van Halen album, with David Lee Roth on vocals, is almost finished.

The spandexed ham David Lee Roth reunited with the band in 2006 for a world tour and he and the Van Halens have been working together in the studio for the first time in 16 years.

The band is more of a family affair than ever, with Eddie's son Wolfgang Van Halen taking over bass duties since the reunion.

Now reports have appeared that the notoriously fractious band are well on the way to completing work on their first studio album together since 1984's 1984.

MelodicRock.com revealed that the album will be released in early 2011 with a single to emerge before the end of the year.

This follows a May Glide Magazine interview where Dweezil Zappa mentioned that Eddie had played him new Van Halen material and a radio interview in the same month where former Lee Roth guitarist John 5 confirmed that Eddie is 'on fire right now.'

We remain forever hopeful that Eddie and Dave don't kill each other before they finish.

If an album is coming out in January...and a song before the end of the year...is shouldn't be too hard to find out...

[POJO_Risin]

There's no way they don't do this without some sort of media blitz...especially with a tour to follow...

Of course...in this day and age of "Van Halen," nothing is as it seems. You'd expect a media blitz...but perhaps this new, muzzled version of the band just puts an album out and tours...

Who fucking knows at this point...

Over the years looking for hidden messages about Van Halen in the residue of my cat's food bowl has proved to be significantly more accurate about Van Halen news than Melodi Crock...

Last time....

The media...blitz consisted of just that one...news conference.

Plus...

Of course...the odd thing about Eddie selling shit...

In the sycophantic guitarist...

Press...but that was all...

How...?

Can we know what they will do...?

This time...?

As they explore...strange new worlds...to seek out new life and new civilizations...

Yep, so look for a large, splashy announcement at Van-Halen.com about two months after the album is released. In the meantime, Happy New Year from December 29, 2009.

Holy Fuck finally some news!

How did I miss this?

[mh5150]

maybe the"official site" is some kind of cryptic message.

[Jagermeister]

If they tour I am going to no less that 3 shows and possibly 4. That's my plan and I an sticking to it.

[ELVIS]

I'm going to one...

[BITEYOASS]

Oh my! Time to break out the "Roth Army Rumor Whore!"

[ThrillsNSpills]

Oh my! Time to break out the "Roth Army Rumor Whore!"

Thankfully, we're past the rumor stage since VH management verified they're doing new stuff.
about a week after jamie said there's nothing to report.

[twonabomber]

someone should go over there and remind Andrew that most of the misinformation regarding Van Halen has come from his site.

Sometimes I think they are taking the George Costanza route in that any instinct a normal band would have, they do the opposite.

Whatever.

It's Called,"The Bold And The Beautiful".

[Cato]

am I the only person who misread the title as "BALD"?

[DaveTheScott]

Not doubting vaijuju...cruised around and checked it out myself. I don't trust any of the sources, though, esp VH1 and Mel O De Crock.

I'll believe it when I'm standing on the floor in front of the stage with them playing the shit. We could get a four-song EP and a fuck-you-very-much.

[joe d'amato]

... is there a link to the vh-1 report? sorry if it's already been posted in the thread ...
