OK, we've had a stellar 07/08 tour and an Ok 12/13 Tour with a new album. I think this next album has to be "VH Perfect" so that they can wean off the old tracks and start re-inventing themselves.
Let Eddie explore (no Wolfie interference) and go for an album
with a wicked "single", a bluesy-smoky Roth tune, a Fair Warning type kick ass melodic blast, and pull it back from ADKOT overkill
and go for those "classic" tunes that have fucking balls and melody
like the 6 Pack always will have.
There's no reason VH can't own the Grammy's rather than watching Metallica re-tread a song with some crazy Chinese pianist.
I think they need to awake the mass market with "That was Van Halen"??? Just like Jump did in 1984.
