In der VAN HALEN Gerüchteküche brodelt es weiter! Laut Melodic Rock hat die Band am gestern mit Produzent John Shanks mit den Aufnahmen des neuen Albums mit Sänger David Lee Roth begonnen. Wir werden mal abwarten was die Band und Ihr Sprecher Larry Solters dazu sagen.

"The band will record their first all-new studio album since 1998's Van Halen III and their first with original singer David Lee Roth since 1983's 1984.

There are no further details available about this latest stint in the studio, nor any suggestion of when the band will be finished and anything subsequently released. Manager Irving Azoff is said to be pushing the band to tour, but I'm told Eddie Van Halen is reluctant to do so without any new material to release.
So while a 2011 tour has been publicly mentioned previously by Azoff, it remains up in the air as to when, or even if a tour will happen this year. A record needs to be completed and I doubt anyone will want to start speculating as to when that will happen."
