Van Halen Album Rumored To Be Nearing Completion

[OzzyVanHalen]

The Van Halen News Desk was the first to report last December that Van Halen were set to record a new studio album with Grammy Award winning producer John Shanks. In January, Shanks confirmed this via his Twitter account.

Today, respected Metal Show host, Eddie Trunk, tweeted that he heard gossip from a "reliable source" that the VH album is close to done and will come out this year. "Label TBD" This matches up perfectly with what we heard from a trusted source at the beginning of March, that the recording process is going great and the band is starting to mix the new tracks. Also, from another reliable source of ours today, we hear that this Fall is the most probably time that the album will be released and a tour will begin.

Reliable sources or not, I'm still not going to believe it until it comes out.

^^^ yeah, that!

Hopefully Wolfie won't have to go to summer school...or no summer tour for the new album!


I highly doubt I'll pick up the new album, even if these rumors of a new album are true - in protest of Michael Anthony getting the shaft.

I probably won't be missing much anyway. I doubt the chemistry will be there.

I have a feeling that we will see at least one or two threads here in the future titled along these lines.

"Van Halen album pushed back to late 2011" or "Van Halen album pushed back to early 2012."

Possibly both.

Maybe we oughta just create them now and put them on ice for awhile until the official news trickles out. Then they can be searched for and bumped accordingly.

Sounds like the Jeff Lynne story...two years since first rumors and still waiting.

Without Michael Anthony, Diamond Dave's just a puppet without any say so... 3 Van Halens against 1 Roth...

Bringing back Anthony now would be epic. Too bad DLR doesn't have the b@lls to demand Mikey to be part of this new album. I know... I know... beating a dead horse I'll shut up now.

Screwed up band these days, whos singing, who isn't, Hagar wants back in, Roth still hanging around, who's on bass, who isn't, will they record, won't they, one last tour, no wait, the last tour was the last tour, they should call the new album "Who Cares"?

^^ I don't thnik so Balance. I never get tired of the thought myself. I think Wolfie is a nice kid and all as well as talented...but I just don't like him in Van Halen. It's got to be Mike for me.

I think Wolfie is a nice kid and all as well as talented...

I think MY kid is a nice kid. Has some talent as well.. but I wouldn't want him in VH.

Wait scratch that. If he was in VH, that'd be ****ing AWESOME!!!!!
