Van Halen News Desk addresses the new album rumors
Saturday, 10 July 2010

Van Halen“We believe big time in publicizing the shit out of ‘we ain’t talkin’.’ First we make goddamn sure that everybody knows we ain’t saying anything…”

-David Lee Roth, 1997

We at the Van Halen News Desk feel that the majority of fans and even music news websites have misinterpreted Janie Van Halen’s recent statement. Many people are reacting as if Janie simply said that Van Halen is NOT making an album.

Janie gave a vague, two sentence statement to Rolling Stone: “What is going around is exactly that, rumors. I don’t have any updates at this time.” She did not deny the rumors. She didn’t confirm them, either.

The rock community is so hungry for new music from Van Halen that it believed what it wanted to hear. The rumor spread like wildfire. The fact that this was simply a rumor got lost in the excitement, and, in a matter of days, websites and countless radio stations were reporting the rumor as fact. Janie wanted to clarify that the news that was going around about a “new Van Halen album coming out next year” was only rumors and that it was not actual news that was put out by the band, and therefore not anything that people should count on.

If Van Halen is currently writing music for an album, you can bet that she would not admit it now. Van Halen is not the type of band that frequently gives their fans updates on what they are doing. That’s because they don’t want to say anything until their plans are 100% solid and everything is in place. If the band really is working on new music for an album, you wouldn’t hear it from them until the album is finished. They would not want to announce any plans that might not come to fruition.

For those who say that Van Halen must not care about the fans because they do not give them frequent updates… just the fact that Janie clarified that the “news” was just rumors proves that the band does care and doesn’t want misinformation spread. They don’t want want the fans to count on something happening that they didn’t say would happen.

Some loyal VHND readers have been asking us why we don’t simply contact Janie and ask her if anything is going on. Suffice to say, we do have a rapport with Janie, and if there was anything she wanted us to know at this time, she would let us know.

So, will we see a new Van Halen album and/or tour next year? The facts are, two guitarists who are friends with Eddie – Dweezil Zappa and John 5 – have both recently admitted to hearing new Van Halen material and that it was killer. That’s good sign. Time will tell.

Rafabasa.com escribió:Warner/Chappell Music ha ampliado sus acuerdos de administración con dos miembros de VAN HALEN, Eddie y Alex Van Halen. Gracias a esos contratos, Warner/Chappell seguirá administrando el catálogo del grupo.

En la nota de prensa enviada por la compañía, el sello confirma que el grupo, que se completa con el cantante original David Lee Roth y el hijo del guitarrista Eddie Wolfgang Van Halen como bajista, se encuentra actualmente en el estudio grabando un nuevo álbum que sacarán en el 2011.

Tras numerosas idas y venidas, parece que al final Melodic Rock tenía razón y el cuarteto sacará un nuevo trabajo a pesar de todos los esfuerzos por parte de VAN HALEN para acallar los rumores.

El trío canadiense TRIUMPH podrían ser los teloneros de la gira que realizaría VAN HALEN en el 2011. Los propios TRIUMPH confirmaron en una entrevista haber hablado del tema con representantes de Live Nation.

Most recently, the band toured with founding brothers, Eddie and Alex Van Halen, its original lead singer, David Lee Roth, and Eddie's son, Wolfgang, playing bass. The group is currently in the studio recording an album with Roth that is due for release in 2011.

Van Halen And David Lee Roth Working On Album Due In 2011 Warner/Chappell Music has extended its administration agreements with two original members of the legendary rock band, Van Halen, Eddie and Alex Van Halen. Under the agreement, Warner/Chappell will continue to administer their catalog of works.

The Grammy Award-winning Van Halen was formed in 1972 in Pasadena, CA and released its first album in 1978, quickly becoming one of the most influential rock bands in history. In 2007, after more than three decades dazzling audiences with their energetic performances and establishing their catalog of songs as one of the most enduring in the history of popular music, Van Halen was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

With 11 studio albums, Van Halen is the 19th best-selling group of all time in the U.S., according to the RIAA, with more than 56 million albums sold in the U.S., 10 of them certified platinum or multi-platinum, six albums that reached No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 and two of them, Van Halen and 1984, achieving diamond certification. Van Halen has been nominated multiple times by the American Music Awards and, in 1992, won Favorite Heavy Metal/Rock Album for the album For Unlawful Carnage Knowledge.

"It's fantastic to continue our relationship with Van Halen, which is one of the most enduring and successful partnerships within our roster of songwriters," said Scott Francis, President, Warner/Chappell Music, and Chairman and CEO, Warner/Chappell Music U.S. "Since its inception, Van Halen has written driving melodic rock songs performed in groundbreaking style."

During its more than three decades as a band, Van Halen has featured a number of different lineups and three different lead singers, and throughout has produced a string of multiplatinum albums that contained numerous No. 1 singles, including "Jump," "(OH) Pretty Woman," "Why Can't This Be Love?," "Humans Being," "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Me Wise Magic."

Most recently, the band toured with founding brothers, Eddie and Alex Van Halen, its original lead singer, David Lee Roth, and Eddie's son, Wolfgang, playing bass. The group is currently in the studio recording an album with Roth that is due for release in 2011.
