What is this Encore business?

[Big Troubles]

They want to sell out in 2 hours instead of 2 1/2?

Im pretty sure they "sold out" faster than that.

[Panamark]

YUp, I was sucked in until the Wolf replacement bit....

[bueno bob]

Slight correction...

The album will feature Eddie Van Halen on bass...I think we're all pretty confident that'll be the case...again...

[Keeyth]

Damn, ya had me up until they said "because the fans want it." too.

Would love to see Mikey back, but Edward would have to eat crow, and he'll never back down from anything he's done. Look how long it took him to put the right lead singer back in place...

[ZahZoo]

Given the band's age and new found healthy image... I think Ensure instead of Encore is more appropriate...

[Terry]

It's all over but the shouting until something is actually released.

Even if the Van Halens and Roth gave a series of interviews stating that they will release a new album in 2010, I'd still only believe it when it actually happened.

The Van Halens have zero credibility now. Too many years of too much bullshit coming out of their mouths.

From Jeff Falkowski on his work with Dave. date was 9/19/09



"We actually recorded quite a few songs last winter. Of course, what will happen to them your guess is as good as mine."

Its all bullshit until its in the shops , but i am coming round to the idea of the 1984 kid being older on the cover. That might be cool.

[sonrisa salvaje]

New album should be called "Sit, Dave. Good Boy".

How about "Sit Edward. That is all you do."

Didn't think of that. Might be cool if Dave is allowed to have input. He always loved and was really good at the whole artwork stuff.
