VAN HALEN COMMENCE WORK WITH PRODUCER JOHN SHANKS:
Van Halen will formally start work on a new studio album with Grammy Award winning producer John Shanks Monday January 17. The news of the band's plans was confirmed by myself this weekend.
Rumours of Shanks' involvement with the band surfaced a couple of months ago at the Van Halen Newsdesk. It can now be confirmed.
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.
 
Questions remain about what happened to the much discussed 2010 recording sessions with producer Ross Hogarth. Officially denied, and not likely to ever be addressed, the fact remains the band were in the studio writing and working for much of 2010. Several famous names commented positively about hearing new material during 2010, including Dweezil Zappa & John 5.
Additionally Warner Publishing issued a press release mid-year stating that the band had re-signed to the company, adding that they were (at that stage) in the studio recording.
 
Additional rumors remain about Warner's desire to release remastered versions of the band's Sammy Hagar fronted albums and I'm hearing talk of a career spanning Box Set at some stage - fuelled by news that Warner also reached new publishing agreements with Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony and David Lee Roth in 2010.
 
Stay tuned...

Eli VH keikkailee syksyllä Jenkkilän ulkopuolella, Viiden keikan kiertueen Australiassa

Joskus menee usko että onko oikeesti enää mitään hyvää kuunneltavaa musaa niin ei tarvitse muuta kuin laittaa Van Halenin Little Guitars tai Mean Streets niin sieltähän se..

Nyt vaan jännäämään tuleeko Euroopan rundia levyn ilmestymisen jälkeen... Olisi kyllä kovuutta nähdä VH Rothin kera edes kerran eläissään.

Hagarin kirja just kesken.
 
Urpo äijä, mutta kun lukee tota niin hiffaa et miks se on niin kaikkien kaveri ja tasapäiden suosikki. Eipä siinä, kova laulaja ja Van Halenissa syntyi huippujälkeä. Oma musa on ihan paskaa, vaikka hyvin se niissäkin laulaa.
 
Diamond Dave saa kyytiä laulutaitonsa puuttumisen vuoksi.

Muaahhaha. Jokainenhan tarttee jonkun jota halveksia? Froikkareiden Myllykoskihan totes, ett jos ei semmosta löydy, senku halveksii Myllykoskea sitte. Briljanttia!
 
Mut eihän Diamond Dave kyl laulaa osaa, se on saletti.

Osaa se laulaa sillä persoonallisella tavallaan. Ylittämätön solisti, omalla tavallaan.
 
Mutta Hagar lyttää sen koska siltä puuttuu käytännössä kokonaan vocal range, melodiat ja rytmiikka. Mutta silti, soindi on uniikki ja se pysty kuitenkin laulamaan niihin todella outoihin biiseihin jotain.
 
Ja eihän Hagrilta iteltä taitu esim. Unchained ollenkaan.

Mä oon aina ajatellut, että Davella on laulajaksi poikkeuksellisen vahva ote rytmiikkaan. Viestisi on sinänsä asiaa! Dave on uniikki ja pystyy laulaa niihin outoihin jotain, osittain siksi että Dave on niiden outojen biisien sielu ja varmasti myös niiden syntymän inspiraatio. Dave oli mieletön sparraaja (tai "spiritual guideksi" mies taisi itseään kutsua) Eddielle
 
David Lee Rothilla oli aikoinaan mahtava quote, kun häneltä kysyttiin miksi julkaisi 90-luvulla levyn DLR Band nimellä, eikä vanhaan tapaan David Lee Rothina:
 
"'I named it that because it sounds more like a band than 'David Lee Roth,' which just sounds like a person. When you hear 'David Lee Roth'--you think of a person. When you hear 'DLR Band'--you think of a band. Just like when you hear 'Eddie Van Halen' you think of a person, and when you hear 'Van Halen'--you think of David Lee Roth."

sirdickyj: Ylittämätön nokkamies ja lavapreesenshyypiö omalla tavallaan.
 
Tän allekirjoitan kyllä.
 
Ja kai se jotain laulaakin osas ku on saanu narulle esmes semmosen lätyn ku Fair Warning, josta ei kertakaikkiaan mitään marisemista.

"I always thought that song should be sung by a girl."- Roth about Sammy Hagar singing "Panama"
 
"Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a yacht big enough to pull up right alongside it"
 
"I used to jog but the ice-cubes kept falling out of my glass."
 
"People ask me, "so what about Van Halen today?" I tell 'em "hey I'm not in it, I don't give a shit." They say "so what about Valerie Bertinelli?" I say, "same answer."
 
Eipä lähde Hagarilta moinen läppä ja siinä on iso syy minkä takia Dave on aina ollut parempi nokkamies Van Haleniin.
Mitä vitun väliä sillä on että Sammy on teknisesti parempi laulaja?
Dave osaa viihdyttää!

VAN HALEN - NEW ALBUM RUMOUR ROUND-UP:
Dear rabid Van Halen fans - if you are looking for a factually infallible, dead on, "here are the facts" news update....this ain't it!
But seriously, a news report that does fit that description isn't far away as David Lee Roth tells us to "Get Ready..." (www.davidleeroth.com) and Van Halen actually open up a Facebook page (www.facebook.com/VanHalen). And Alter Bridge/Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti (friend of Wolfgang) starts yakking after sitting in on the trio of Van Halen's playing new songs live in the studio - reporting back that the band used ''old demos for inspiration for new material" (www.vhlinks.com/vbforums/mark-tremonti-new-t52379.html).
Plus the band are also hitting to road for the first time since 2007 with dates in Australia in 10 weeks' time. So we know something's happening right?
Right! But when are we going to really hear something official and when will we hear the first new Van Halen material since 2004 and the first new album with David Lee Roth since 1983? Soon folks....
 
What we know is that the album is done and mixed...John Shanks finishing production work on it earlier this year (with other producer names likely to appear inside the album credits.) The rumoured album title is VH '11, 2011 (or Two Zero One One to be precise) and all rumours point to a mid/late September release.
A single was again rumoured to hit airwaves this weekend, but failed to happen.
What I have previously stated is that I personally believe the new album will be released in October, after Van Halen return home from Australia and a single could likely appear late this month or in August.
 
I am hoping to have some more precise information from a source close to official goings on later this week. Stay tuned...
 
But in the meantime, I was contacted last week by an anonymous source with a summary of rumours and "inside" information they happened to be privy to. Ok....due to the demand from fans wanting to hear about anything Van Halen related to keep them busy while counting down the seconds to hell freezing over (the new album appearing in store), here is a summary of the information I was sent.
This is certainly not being printed as gospel or fact, but merely as yet another in the series of much loved Van Halen Rumor Reports that have been printed over the last decade of this band's colourful history. So with that disclaimer in place....here goes folks....
 
RUMOUR ROUND UP!
 
- Eddie Van Halen was apparently prepared to tour again with no new album, reluctant to produce new songs. David Lee Roth and especially Wolfgang Van Halen wanted to record new tracks. Wolfgang Van Halen finally convinced his father that he didn't want to go out on tour to replace Michael Anthony, with no new material and without David Lee Roth's input.
 
- It is suggested that the music was the main thing in EVH's mind and David Lee Roth was asked only to contribute lyrics.
 
- Seventeen songs were prepared in demo form. One was an instrumental. Fourteen songs were properly recorded. This includes the instrumental. A couple of tracks are likely to be held over as bonus tracks for various uses. Management are currently negotiating with specialist retailers for a deal to release the album, with these bonus tracks possible to make an appearance if an agreement is reached.
- Because of distributing/promotion matters, the release date of first single is still up in the air, although it will (apparently) 'definitely' happen no later than 2nd week of August. The album is expected to be ready to ship in September. I still say October....
- Only two tracks feature keyboards of any type. One is the instrumental which briefly features piano. The other features keyboards in the intro, and 'lightly' in the chorus.
 
- Although Wolfang Van Halen did not write any of the lyrics to the new album, he had a bass solo he was preparing that he titled "Hurricanes", for which David Lee Roth wrote lyrics with the same working title. It is unclear if this song will be included on the album, but it was recorded in demo-form.
 
- The album title has not been chosen at this point. Many rumours have surfaced... Two likely working titles may be in the running which are "VH '11" and "Two Zero One One". Rumored titles that have not been officially dismissed by band members however are "Mammoth" and "Play".
This information has surfaced because of proposed artwork for the new album which at this point features a brown circle on a glass table with a silver and red Van Halen logo emblazoned upon it (the circle which looks like an M&M). There is a rumour that the brown circle is supposed to represent both the "Brown Sound" of Van Halen and also the infamous M&M chocolate candy contract rider of years past. The proposed artwork does not show all edges of the circle due to a possible 'infringement' with the candy-maker. Rather the outer edges of the circle are 'cut-off' by the square-edged artwork. The reverse side of the album jacket features all four members standing by a garden like area shot in a sepia tone. This photo and others were taken in May on the grounds of Edward Van Halen's studio, 5150. Inner booklet/lyric sheets photos were also shot in and around 5150. Not sure about this folks...but I guess we'll know soon enough...
 
- Two songs recorded have been selected as singles. One song sounding like an early era Van Halen combination of "Beautiful Girls/Jamie's Crying", and the other song sounding more in the vein of "Unchained"/"Drop Dead Legs" (this one features a very lengthy guitar solo by comparison).
 
- Although no song titles are 'confirmed' at this point, some of the 'working' song titles were/are: "Hurricanes", "Stop Talking" (which is one of the possible first two singles), "Down This Road", and "Who's Looking Back At You?". Other titles have been mentioned, only these four keep resurfacing.

Jokainen vetäköön omat johtopäätöksensä tuosta "huhumyllystä"... No saadaanpa edes jotain hypeä tulevaa levyä kohtaan;).

Australian kiertuetta nyt ainakin pukkaa virallisen Facebook sivun mukaan.
