Just got word that Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth have appear to be near completing the once-thought impossible--a complete CD of new Van Halen tunes. The last time they were in the studio together to record a complete album was in 1983 for the smash 1984.
Apparently, the new music will be released in the fall, so we still have at least a six-month wait. However, most Van Halen fans never thought they would see the day, especially after they teased us with Me Wise Magic on the Greatest Hits compilation and went their own ways citing the same ol' crap fans had come well known with.
The only down side is the true Van Halen sound won't be heard since Michael Anthony won't be providing his backing vocals. He is recording with Chickenfoot for their second album.
Here's one of my favorites from David Lee Roth singing lead for Van Halen: Unchained.
