The next album

[VanHalener]

I think they should do an album of Vegas show tunes, electronica style...

What, now you want Van Halen to cover tunes from Hagar's next album?
Come on, Elvis.

[ELVIS]

How 'bout country ??

[binnie]

I don't think we should count our chickens.....

[atomicpnk47]

I would love to see a follow up but I have gut feeling this may be it. I'd be fine with it. They brought it and left everything on the table with ADKOTand I imagine the tour will be the same. Stay Frosty peeps....

[fryingdutchman]

I mean, there's got to be stuff on the studio floor.

You mean other than Smoking Loon residue?

[fryingdutchman]

I think we're getting way ahead of ourselve with talk of a new record...especially since we're still in the infant stages of absorbing ADKOT.

I don't think we're going to see another one, but I hope I'm wrong.

I think what we WILL see in years to come is the opening of the vaults, multiple box sets, DVD's, etc.....

[Zing!]

I'd be perfectly happy with ADKOT being their swan song - they delivered the album we've all been waiting for and have redeemed themselves for 15 years of mediocrity. IF they should decide to record another album down the road - I think they would have to wait. For big rock acts, you can't churn them out year after year anymore and still expect to tour in support of them. Back in the glory days it worked, because tickets were only $12.50. Now you're oversaturated in the rock market if you tour more than once every other year (or three years). They could choose to tour next year playing smaller venues - but that's the Chickenfoot route - the wrong move for the mighty =VH=. Better to wait - just not too long - they're not getting any younger (although you would never guess it from the new disk!)

Conspiracy Theory #267474577508239855

Wolfgang sprouts his own wings...hooks up with friends (Tremonti for example) and "leaves" Van Halen to do his own thing....

Mike returns to the band as Chickenshit has been put out to pasture...

They do 1...1 tour with the original line-up...

the end...

My exact thoughts too, no foolin'

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I'd just assume they actually start and then finish the tour before I start thinking about another album, but whatev.....

Speculating=fun

[Panamark]

ADKOT is the final chapter...
And what a great way to respect the legacy and please us bastards after all this time.
I dont expect a follow up, unless its leftovers from ADKOT.
As for the MA theory, they should do at least one last show with him.
Wolf may even suggest it ?

He has to get his face out of Hagars ass for all to see, for this to
even have a chance.
Miniscule chance, but thats the trouble with never.

[Roth & Roll]

It's wayyy too early to even begin speculating what's next beyond this tour.

My instincts tell me that this is their swan song. They've gone full circle with this album, and I don't know that Dave ever wanted anything more than closure.

[Yount]

ADKOT is the final chapter...

I'm going to stay right here in denial until one of 'em carks it. They could all piss in bedpans and record it and I'd probably give it a listen, just in case there's some magic ya know. They've conditioned me well.

[fourthcoming]

Um, yea....I'm going to continue to listen the piss out of ADKOT....whatever happens after that......so be it. Never know....there's always Honolulu Baby, Young and Wild, Wild Fire, Piece of Mind....etc laying around. They obviously got their creative juices flowing cuz the brand new tunes are amazing. For me...it's kind of like when the Rangers won the Stanley Cup in '94. Never thought I would see it, might not ever see it again....so enjoy what we have NOW.
