Sweet! It looks like next year we'll finally get some new Van Halen music, with a tour to follow, supporting it. If the tracks are along the lines of the last new tracks with Roth ("Me Wise Magic" and "Can't Get This Stuff No More"), it should rock. I'm looking forward to finally adding some more Van Halen tracks to my collection — finally!
As for Ed's comment about Michael Anthony quitting the band — I gotta call BS! The Van Halens weren't doing anything in the music biz and former Van Halen alum Sammy Hagar was. Anthony had every right and was justified going out on the road with Hagar. Once the Van Halens got Roth back in the mix, I can understand him wanting to be participating. But that being said, the Van Halens wrote Anthony off long before bringing DLR back. On the Van Halen 3 album (with Gary Cherone fronting), Anthony wasn't involved in the studio recordings, and only was involved in the last Hagar-fronted tour at Hagar's insistence. So I'm definitely calling BS.
That being said, I'll be first in line to buy the album later next year, along with the Guitar Hero: Van Halen game [hopefully] this year.

Can,t wait to hear some new Van Halen
Who are you people to call BS on Anything? You are not qualified to judge anyone. I am sick to death of people on the internet with big mouths who think what they say matters when Eddie was busting his ass night and say to hone his craft. Micheal went on tour with Hagar, and wanted back in the band again after that, but Eddie got his son to play bass instead. Oh well, too bad. Deal with it.
