VAN HALEN BREAK SILENCE TO UPDATE FANS - "THERE IS NO UPDATE!":
Looks like I made the news again. This from Rolling Stone Online overnight:
www.rollingstone.com/music/news/17386/152865
"The web was abuzz with rumors that Van Halen had completed a new album — the first with David Lee Roth back as lead singer — over July Fourth weekend, with a "source" even telling MelodicRock.com that a first single is due at the end of the year. The report also claimed that the new album, the classic Van Halen lineup's first since 1984, was nearly halfway complete and that it would be released in the first half of 2011. However, Eddie Van Halen's wife and spokesperson Janie Van Halen has denied the report to Rolling Stone. "What is going around is exactly that, rumors. I don't have any updates at this time," Janie Van Halen said."

Just a couple of points. I'll stand by that info given to me…something is underway. It's not as if I expected the notoriously secretive organization to actually confirm something!
I'm actually a little intrigued as to why there has been an official response to this report, given the numerous other comments coming out of LA in recent months about "album work" underway at Van Halen's 5150 Studios that have been left unanswered. Guitarists John 5 and Dweezil Zappa have gone on record and another source claims to have spoken directly to Steve Stevens who had similar comments.
Regardless of what is happening right now, the band are again off the road this year (rumors of a tour for 2011 continue), fans could be well frustrated with the continued lack of communication from 5150 Studios, or the place fans have dubbed (kinda) affectionately dubbed "Howdie Doodie Mountain". Stay tuned as always!
