Van Halen New Album

Does anyone know if they're recording a new album with David Lee Roth?
It's been ten years since they've released anything new!!!
 
Heard nothing concrete yet.The latest rumours were that it would be out in April with a tour for the summer but with the amount of delays and postponements,i wouldn`t hold your breath.
 
Whats the deal with all of the older bands coming out with new albums. First Metallica, then AC/DC, Guns N Roses finally got their album out, Van Halen with this one, and also KISS is going to begin working on a new studio album in the next few months.

They signed a contract with a record company which says that they, the band will put out (insert number of albums here). If the band doesn't they get sued by the record label. How hard is that to understand. And don't start bleating about how they should release their album for free on the interwebs because they already have millions and millions of dollars and therefore never deserve to make another penny in their lives.

Spare me. But these days the album is used as an excuse to tour, even though only a couple of songs from the new album will get played.

KISS has more or less said that at this point they are a nostalgia act and they only play songs from say the beginning of their career up to the mid 1980's in concert, with no new stuff, 'cause as smart business men they know that sad as it may be, the "fans" don't give a fuck about the new music and only want to hear the classics and the hits.

Dude, calm the fuck down, really. Where did I even say anything about them giving it away for free, I bought the new Metallica cd, the new AC/DC one, and will definatly buy the KISS album as they are one of my favorite bands. But you need to calm your ass down and give yourself a bit of an attitude ajustment. Untill you can post something without being an asshole you may wanna stay away. Wait untill Chef gets ahold of your ass if you don't believe me.

Don't forget about new Whitesnake album. Great return!
 
This not really a re-turn since they have not really gone away.

Except for the fact that is was the first new Whitesnake studio album in a decade.Longer if you see the Restless Heart album for what it was,a David Coverdale solo album.Looking forward to the new KISS album.
 
Ummm, happened for the boomers, happening for Gen-X ...

It happened for the boomers, with several coming out of retirement. Now it's happening for Gen-X as well.
 
A new Van Halen album has become an age old rumor that will never go away until the earth ends or the whole band passes away of old age,whatever comes first. The cubs will win the world series 10 yrs in a row before this happens.

Expect Nothing and Appreciate Everything
If Van Halen do bring out a new album, Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar wont be a part of it as they are in a new band called Chickenfoot

I read an interview with chickenfoot and they all said that they'd like to do at least 3 albums together.They didnt plan on a short term thing at all. Eddie VH will be back in rehab between now and the 3rd chickenfoot album.
