    Am I wrong in saying that the way they are writing is the way they used to? Ed & Al would jam and then Dave would put lyrics to it? I don't see the shadow of doom in this. Nowadays with things being instant even through distance ,one could record music ,send it to someone in another state and work on their part,and send it back and forth. Hell ,with Dave & Ed ,that might be the BEST way to do things,until you refine things. Otherwise there might be disagreements and rash things said in the heat of the moment.Spearation and cooler heads may be the BEST thing to happen to this band.
    Again,if reports are true,and Wolf is being this instrumental in bringing Dad off Howdy Doody Mountain and back into the real world ,then kudos to the kid. I hope he does get this Hurricane song ,if thats the case,and perhaps his relationship with Dave will help bring Dad around on some of the cooler aspects DLR brings to the table.Ed may be able to say no to Roth allll day,but when it comes to his kid,maybe he will listen to some suggestions for the first time since '95.....

    Trunk is your typical media douche, who happens to like Metal/Hard Rock. As usual, he's a day late and a dollar short....

    Thanks for playing Ed.

    It's no big thing, brother, as my post wasn't aimed at you. I was more interested in pointing out how media types are taking the info that web site posters are discovering, and repeating it. And it really gets funny when someone posts a story and it gets spread around by the media, then repeated at a site and in turn once again gets reported by the media!

    With the crap flying as it is, and idiots like melodicrock and Trunk serving only to cloud the issue, it is no surprise folks end up working at cross purposes. At this point, all any of us can do is keep our eyes and ears open, and try to separate the wheat from the chaff.

    First off thanks for the Ill wait vid, Dave sounded great
    Now for all the cry babies, who gives 2 shits if dave names the album, i can't believe that people post (well they should at least let dave name the album)
    who cares who names the album, we have new van halen coming, I dont care if it was called tampex.....im still getting it
    Now on that note.....Does it seem cold in here to you

    Roth Army rocks!

    I think this thing is about to explode on all of us and i can only hope that the new album does have the very early 80's sound to it, something like WACF meets Fair Warning. I also wouldn't put to much into Dave not being there jamming with the band when Tremonti was there. It has been known that back then, Ed and Alex would jam together and Dave would come up with the lyrics and work on stuff like that away from the others until it was time to record. From the recent pics of Ed, he looks very healthy and ready to go. Al, what can you say about him, Al is Al. Dave hasn't been seen in awhile, but he's probably definitely ready, so all we as fans have to do is wait until the cork get's unpopped.

    A chick does the news on Trunk's site...and he has stated she grabs things she finds and posts them.

    Trunk has been pretty open to saying that he has heard pretty much nothing.

    new rumor

    Eddie's guitar tech accidentally left the master tapes on top of the AC compressor, melting them all.

    The band plans to start recording sessions over in earnest after the holidays. Happy New Year!

    Or some other variation of the old "Dog ate my homework" routine. Christ, I've gotten cynical over the years, but with good reason. Here we sit in 2011, coming back for more after everything that has gone on. Pretty much like Charlie Brown falling for the football gag, people keep hoping that this time it will work.

    I was just talking to a buddy who sometimes cruises this board... he was observing how he's never seen fans that both hate and love a band so much... He's right.

    Check out the photo of the band at the bottom. Was this from 2007 and i just missed it?

    I think we have been Been Ready since what? 1985. Sorry Dave we can't get anymore ready than we are.

    Well, I do like the sound of this:
    Engineer: Ross Hogarth, who is back on board after being off the project for some time. He recently described the unreleased record as “the killing side of Van Halen at the top of their game again with Diamond Dave.”.

    Might as well edit the title and post the new one...

    http://www.vhnd.com/2011/07/06/van-halen-update-7611/

    Van Halen Update 7/6/11

    WEDNESDAY, 6 JULY 2011

    Not much new here, but here’s a quick update on the new Van Halen album. Some new rumors have surfaced since our last update, but we are hearing that most of them are not true. Here’s what we know as of now:

    Album Release Date: We are hearing it is tentatively September or October, 2011.

    First Single Release Date: Unknown.

    Album Title / Song Titles: Unknown. (We hear that the rumored titles, “Hurricanes”, “Stop Talking” etc. are NOT real song titles).

    Album Cover: Unknown. (There’s a rumor that the artwork will feature a brown M&M, emblazoned with the VH logo. We are hearing that this is NOT the artwork that will be used for the CD).

    Producer: The vocals were produced by John Shanks. The music was produced by John Shanks and possibly also Eddie Van Halen.

    Engineer: Ross Hogarth, who is back on board after being off the project for some time. He recently described the unreleased record as “the killing side of Van Halen at the top of their game again with Diamond Dave.”.

    Tour: Their will definitely not be any tourdates before the 5 announced Australian dates from Sept 24th through Oct. 3rd. There are no other rumored dates at this point.
    We’re excited to hear Mark Tremonti claim that new music sounds like “old school Van Halen”, and of course the recent “Get Ready” message from Diamond Dave is further heightening our unbridled anticipation! Stay tuned to VHND.com.

  28. Thanked Va Beach VH Fan for this KICKASS post:

    Maybe they got nothing to say...

    Maybe they got nothing to say...

    Maybe they got nothing to say...

    Guitarists, Drummers, Horn Players, can play all day, I would hope they would stick to playing.

    Singers say things...

    SHUT THE FUCK UP AND PLAY!

    That is what I used to yell at bands that took more than a 5 min break after playing the first set.

    16 years to put out a couple tunes.....some vinyl...some thing to say.....

    I got 5 Bucks sais they got nothing to say.

    SING IT BABY!!!

    OHHHHWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

    I got no time for this shit.

    I will make time when they got something to say.

    Not sure if this means anything, but Shanks just tweeted that he's leaving London and headed back to L.A. No reason given why the trip to California. Just saying what he tweeted.

    The latest from Tasmania.....

    VAN HALEN - ALBUM & SINGLE STILL COMING; WORLD TOUR BEING BOOKED:

    Welcome to Monday folks... My last Van Halen update was rumours and gossip, but this time around I have some Van Halen FACTS for you. Well...as factual as anything ever gets in VanHalenLand, delivered by a known and trusted source close to ground zero - who, up until this point hasn't had any info at all, as they are not in the habit of delivering rumours to me. Let's go...

    - The new Van Halen studio album has NO release date at this point as it is not yet 100% finished. Yep...they are still working on completing it. John Shanks did his bit and now Ross Hogarth, after working with the band in 2010 is back at 5150 to finish the job. There is a single imminent however, but again a date for that arriving at radio or retail is also not yet firm. I'm told "they" are still working on a final mix for the single.

    As for a date for the album - I have said all along my money is on October. I'm sticking to that, but with this info, I'd say late October now. No way will the album drop while the band are in Australia and it is desired to have the album out by November because...

    - Van Halen's US tour will commence in NOVEMBER!

    - Van Halen's 2011/2012 tour will commence in November and I'm told it is likely that the band will stay on the road thru the next Northern summer (mid-2012) with the tour taking in Asia, South America and Europe (watch for the band to possibly headline some festivals in Europe 2012).

    That's it for now folks.....short, but concise. Work continues on this album and a single might appear next month. Tour plans are being locked in for a sizeable world tour starting in Australia in September then re-launching in the US in November.

    Speaking of the Australian dates coming up, the guy in charge of the Soundwave Festival here in Oz (A.J.) that Van Halen will headline has voiced some frustration at dealing with the band over these dates. On his Twitter account (twitter.com/#!/iamnotshouting) the following two messages:

    - "I must say, for one of the world's biggest bands, Van Halen are surrounded by idiots." and "2 months after announcement still can't get the dates on their site despite daily promises...".

    This sounds highly plausible.

    And about as useful as a weather forecaster telling you there is a 50% chance of rain. Then again, nobody really tunes in for the accuracy of the prognostications anyway.

    @ that last bit.

    Seriously though it would make so much sense to have a single released in time for the Aussie shows so that they could actually play the new song live.

    I say:

    Single released in August (will be played live in Aus in Sept)
    Full album release in October

    that would then make sense for a November North American tour start.

    November through March could be bad for road trips to other shows.
