I think we can agree that Van Halen is working on something with Roth. I am sure we will hear more soon.Comment

Hard rock legends Van Halen are hard at work on a new album with original vocalist David Lee Roth, according to a statement made late last week BY ITS MUSIC PUBLISHERS. Various reports also suggest the group will hit the road upon the LP's completion sometime next year.
"The band is currently in the studio recording an album with Roth that is due for release in 2011," read an announcement by Warner/Chappell, which announced the Van Halen camp had renewed its longstanding deal. The album with Roth would mark the first time the singer has appeared on a full album of new music with the group since '1984' was released more than a quarter century ago.
Billboard also revealed that Live Nation Promotions Executive Irving Azoff -- who serves as the band's manager -- spoke of the 2011 tour during a conference about concert industry earnings on Aug. 5.Comment

Ok totally off topic again but what the hell.
So my buddy and I took his son hunting in Zah's home state this past weekend. The kid is funny as hell and was asking us what a Hillbilly was. So we were joking around about at the store while my buddy was inside. I look inside the store and this old guy is standing at the counter. Looked like a hobo wearing camo. So I tell the kid that looks like a Hilllbilly. We laugh about it. As we are leaving I ask my buddy what the Hillbilly was saying and as we drive off we see the guy has on a white shirt, a camo jacket, lol camo short and a pair of white sneakers with white socks pulled all the way up to his knees. LMAO yup that's a Hillbilly right there. As we are all laughing our ass off I ask my buddy what the guy was saying in the store. He said he missed most of the conversation but the guy wanted a bag of Red Man and two corn dogs.

If any you fat old poofs sign on next year with your fuckin' WHOREGASM reports of viewing Wolfie's neatly-boxed coif mopping the disconnected backup mic, I get to give that offender a 40-yd running smash in the eNuts with my eDocMartens.
Deal? Shut the fuck up, all of you, about juicin' yer jellies over possibly attending 75% of Van Halen: we're still down a vocalist.. but thank G-d we're also down one androgynous Capris-wearing MESS... I really do not want to see or hear about your swooning.
Besides that, the price is too much, for too little to call itself "van" = anything. Like the Sam n Dave tour, this one should be called "Dave Al Ed and Sons Plumbing and Company" because you are ALL getting The Ream and is all your own fault for going.

Yeah...that really is lame. Just shows you how volatile this whole reunion with Dave is. They see each other for 2 hours onstage...and thats it. Everything else goes through their people. And that 2 hours onstage they aren't really hanging out together. Dave is doing his thing, Eddie his. Oh well. I'll take it. Compared to the other forms of VH we have been served, anything with Dave is welcomed.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment

The cynicism is definitely understandable, Natra.
But the thing to remember is that (with the exception of Wolftwinkie) these are guys well into middle age who all have very different lifestyles and interests.
The notion of a "band" that lives together, eats together, parties together, and are "bestest friends" is a concept that is reserved for the young guns just starting out.
Once a band gets to VH's level, they don't need (or probably want) that level of camaraderie anymore.
It would be nice to imagine 2011 VH being like the halcyon days of the 70's and early 80's when they were the "4 Musketeers" and it was "all for one and one for all", but it's just not realistic.
The closest thing I saw to that recently was a TV special on Rush where the band was out to dinner together, and it didn't seem "forced" or staged. It was nice to see, but it defintely felt more like the exception than the rule.Originally posted by perilouspete

Of course there is a difference between having separate lives and interests and "phoning it in" when it comes to the band.
If that is what is happening, then this next album is probably fucking doomed....Originally posted by perilouspete

Its not uncommon for band members to record their parts separtely and not even in the same state/city.
If that's what it will take to get an album done, so be it.=V V=
