As much as I'd like to believe that they have another album ready to go, seeing the word melodiCrock tells me that in all likelihood it is nothing more than a steaming pile of bullshit. On what planet does melodiCrock have an "exceptional record" with this sort of thing? They do have an exceptional record of being completely wrong most of the time.

At this 13th hour, I still say any press is good press for keeping us rabid fans hyped and possibly pushing them into delivering once again... Before we know it, I'll bet my cinnamon bun, that Wolfie will be doing our roundhouse kicks!
MelodiCrock has an exceptional track record......of getting the facts completely WRONG when it comes to Van HALEN.
Given the way that ADKOT was put together though, it's highly likely that they could have some other material in the can. And what about the record they had started working on back in 2000-01? There were so many bullshitters starting new rumors every week about those sessions that Hell only knows how much they actually recorded at the time.
And just like VHII and WACF were made up of songs that didn't make the first album, it's entirely possible that a whole pool of songs that didn't make ADKOT might be ready to go.....as soon as Eddie's ready to work, Dave's back from Japan, and Wolfie's not touring with any other bands. (What's Alex doing with his down time. Anybody heard anything?)

Nope...this isn't true.
They do have enough songs in the can to put out another album...
Remember...Eddie said in Esquire:
So they could put out a second album...I'm sure of it...There were so many songs. Wolfgang wanted to do a ton, and I said, "It's going to be a double record!" He goes, "So? Let's do a double record! Let's convince Dave!"
but I'm sure Melodicrock took that piece of information from esquire...combined it with downtime...and created this shit for hits...
But who fucking knows. MelodiCROCK loves bands like Van Halen...because 90% of everything they do is rumor and innuendo...
would be a great name for the second album...as a matter of fact...
Hey Jackass! You need to [Register] or log in to view signatures on ROTHARMY.COM!
More from Ed...
You know...I hate MelodiCROCK...but it is plausible...
They have downtime...and nothing better to do...
If they have 35 songs...I could see them saying...fuck it...let's get out another album...It was actually Wolf’s idea for the album to be a collection of our B-sides along with three reworked songs, which would be new to our audience. Instead of the “Best Of” it would be the “B’s Of”—you know, songs like “Drop Dead Legs,” “Girl Gone Bad”… It would be a record of our more hardcore songs and none of the pop stuff. That was the initial plan for this album, but the deeper we dug, the more we found. At the same time I was writing new songs. Dave got very excited about that. We all did. We ended up recording demos for 35 songs. All of those songs were ready to go, and we were able to play them all.
We called John again and asked, “Are you busy? Do you want to come up and take a listen?” He was like, “Whoa! You’ve got a shitload of songs here!” We pretty much left it to John and Wolfgang to pick the songs, and it all went from there.
but I still say this story is bullshit...

I don't give a fuck what they do as long as they get the original lineup for ONE show before they are all dead or in wheelchairs...
Hey Jackass! You need to [Register] or log in to view signatures on ROTHARMY.COM!
Ed's got a long way to go...and in general...I have to believe those demos were Ed, Al and Wolfie...with no Dave...and still needed a shitload of polish. From everything I've heard from the sources I still have...Ed's healthy...but has a long ways to go to get 100%...
Demos that are "ready to go" are far from polished, and would have to believe that there would be several hours needed in the studio...which HASN'T TAKEN PLACE...
As always...MelodiCROCK puts out shit about as responsible with regards to "journalism" as trusting Lance Armstrong's denial of using PEDs...
Honest to shit...I wish someone would fucking rip that site down. Utter bullshit...
big fatty (11-13-2012)
Age has left me content with whatever the fuck happens at this point.
Health will be a major issue with this band going forward...if I'm to speculate...
so...I got me new album...and my new tour. The rest is icing.
Honestly...I could walk away from this band today (if they were done), and say..."it was all worth it" and be pretty content...

After the Cafe Wha? show I had ZERO interest in seeing them live again. You just can't get any better than that. Why even try and top it?
I am still in shock almost a year later that they actually put an album together. I have no complaints.
If I would like to see anything else it would have to be Michael Anthony on stage with them one more time.
Last but not least.... I want one more EPIC Van Halen video like Hot For Teacher... something that showcases David Lee Roth creativity again...
The old school videos were groundbreaking.... they all had Dave's imprint on them.... I want one more concept video!
Yount (11-06-2012)
Honestly...what I'd love to see...
Is fucking video of these fucking guys sitting around in someone's backyard...talking Van Halen history.
The snippets of video they've put out is fucking awesome...
Honest to god...if they put out a 15-hour fucking video of them shooting the shit about music...and fuck it...
their views on shit since the early 70's...
I'd pay it ten times over. THAT...would be the pinnacle for me...
Listening to Dave, Ed and Al talk about the early days was fucking outstanding...I've watched those videos 100 times...can't get enough of them...just so much fucking history...
I'd love to listen to them be honest about the years between 1985 and the reunion tour...and pull Michael in as well...
Something for the fans...similar to what the Beatles did with the Anthology TV shit...a series of videos of their history together...and them sitting in 5150...talking history...
I'd do it on the internet...and fuck it...even charge for it...put out a whole damn series, with them sitting in the studios with their instruments, talking about the past...add a musical history to the background...
but I remember with Anthology...the stuff that stood out was when Paul, George and Ringo were all talking, and there was a point where I think Paul was playing something on the piano and singing...and I was thinking, "Fuck, John's dead, so this is as close as we're getting..."
That...to me...is what I want...
I'd love the concept video...and I'd love Mike to be back...
but call me old (and I am...lol)...but THIS would be the pinnacle...
I have a better idea...
Let's get Vince McMahon to bring all the past and current Van Halen members into Monday Night raw!
They could headline the next Wrestlemania....
I say we put all those motherfuckers in the ring including Ray Danniels, Valerie Bertinelli.... fuck it... let's throw some internet people in there like "TK!" "Brett" ... you name it...
Throw all those motherfuckers in there for a HELL IN A CELL!!!!
Tables... chairs... stun guns.... what the fuck ever.... and put it on PAY PER VIEW!!!!
First one out from climbing to the top of the cage wins...
Will Eddie Van Halen give Brad Starks "the peoples elbow" for all those times he never updated his site???
Only time will tell....

It would be nice to see a new album and like everyone else has said.......fuck MelodiCROCK!
Hell, even if they released the unfinished stuff from ADKOT, alternate takes, bonus stuff and repackaged it with ADKOT......I'd buy it.
It wouldn't take a huge amount of effort and would give the hardcore fans something till the tour restarts!

Yes you would.....it would allow you to do more "research" into the ever evolving conspiracy of how Wolfie didn't play bass on any of the unreleased tracks, too
Is that Scottish slang for Melodicrock is full of shit..?
Ed's got a lot of recovery to go... nothin is "in the can". Remember Dave's video a few weeks ago... let's revisit. Pay real close attention... what's in the can? Nothin...

I noticed Jeff Hausman has shot down Melodicrock's rumour. Apparently, they have about 30 demos recorded without vocals. It's more likely they will tour for most of next year then start work on the next album late 2013. It should be a quicker exercise next time around, with those demos ready to work with, and the confidence gained from the succesful completion of ADKOT.

I do know many of those additional tracks actually do have Dave on em and there is enough material in varying states to put out a record. The idea of it and intent to put one out is there but this is Van Halen, ability and intent mean sometime in the next decade not months.
Still just a hunch I do think they put out something sooner than later in 2013 but anyone saying its a fact is full of it and is naive of history. Eddie just creates reasons to not put material out and always has. Hoping for the best.
A video would be great, do one for Stay Frosty make it low budget whatever but bring back the sense of humor that is so desperately missing and always worked well for Van Halen. Was Hagar years meant to be funny?

Melodicrock is run by a nice enough fan but he thinks because an occassional b-level artist shoots him a pr release he is a journalist and he just is not. Problem is when people treat him like he is.

HEY, YOU NEVER KNOW !!
I'm layin' naked with ya, after makin' love...
I caught a cold, I barely made it home ...
I may you undie awee, I felt no pain...
And then I crashed my rent-a-car in the pourin' rain...
Seen it on a billboard, guess I believe it's so...
He said you only lijatidy, he said you never know...
(cringe yelp)
My friend Jerry's feet are achin' thinks he's hittin' bottom...
Says it's a sex problem, he told me so...
I told him Jerry ain't the lovin' that you're makin' buddy...
It's stayin' up all night and lookin' for it make you slow...
Want some advice, and it's free for a reason you know...
They say you only live twice, I said, Hey! you never know...
You never, you never never, you never, you never know..
You never, said you never never, you never, you never know...
(wimpy solo)
I'll make suggestions mama, you make the choices...
Your Kodak moment's comin', I'll keep your motor runnin'
I'll presidench of four, you make the choices...
I'll keep the engine hummin' and now I'm really runnin'
Right up your driveway, sayin' hide in your hole, I'm on cruise control...
If they're sayin' that we're crazy, well, hey! you never know...
(cringe yelp)
You never, you never never, you never, I said you never know...
You never, you never never, you never, you never know...

Then you should really enjoy my transcription...
Yeah, that is a wimpy solo in there. Times like that when they should've just thrown something else in there.

Harmonica or something...
That solo sounds like a bad Bonnie Raitt attempt...
OOOF . 30 demos with no vocals.
Let's hope we hear it soon.
I like how they treated Full Bug live last time around, with that extra section at the end.
