Eddie Enthusiastic About Current Van Halen Lineup

[loucap81]

But when the full cycle is complete, Eddie believes they’ll get to work on another album. “That’s what I hope to do,” he says. “I’m pretty sure that’s what our intention is.”

By far, the thing I care about most. Ed was in a total creative lull for the past decade, evidenced by the lifeless crap he released with Hagar in 2004. Clearly when we saw what kind of shape he was in that year, it's amazing he was even able to stand up. Now that he's sober, now that Wolf is an adult and can push him to make new music and just keep going with this, I'm hopeful we can see a creative rush for the next five years. I love going to the shows as much as anyone, but the shows and the excitement of seeing them live is fleeting; the albums are what last forever. I'm hoping they don't waste any time and get a new album out in early 2014.

The snooze desk SUCKS !!

...but the shows and the excitement of seeing them live is fleeting; the albums are what last forever.

I've always felt this way. Just like what the AV geeks in the movie 3 O'clock High who wanted to film the after school fight said, "pain is only temporary, film is forever."

That's exactly how I feel...

They need to jump in the studio now and throw the rest of those 35 - 40 songs on a disc before they hit the road again...

Ed already said he didn't like the sound of the album (and I agree) and none of the singles took off...

The timing would be perfect for Van Halen to return to New Orleans for the Super Bowl with a bonafide hit off the next album...


Ok, I'm dreaming...

...Ed already said he didn't like the sound of the album (and I agree)...

I thought he said he didn't like the way the guitar and bass recording sounded at Henson and they all agreed to redo those parts at 5150. I would imagine he was happy with that result.

"...got rid of people that don't belong here...." and "..it was the people around us..."

I immediately thought of Val.

Her telling a daily intoxicated Ed in 1985 that he doesn't need Dave and that all he does is make him miserable.

Yes, although Val is still Wolf's mom - she of course has no influence on Eddie anymore.

He said the demos they recorded sounded better than the album...

Damn. We'll take the demos then. All of them!

[Zing!]

I'm satisfied with ADKOT. Another classic VH album and tour at this point would just be icing and cake on top of the last icing and cake. Win win indeed!

[So this is love]
