I meant to post this the other day, but it’s been busy with family and the holidays. Both blogs pretty much were on hiatus there for a few days.
I got an email the day after Christmas from Van-Halen.com.
Their site has now been updated with three black and white seizure-inducing videos backed by tracks from the 1984 album.
Again, we’re seeing a tour without any announcement of a new album. I’m as big a Van Halen fan, as anyone out there, but I’m really disappointed that we’re not hearing anything about an album release. The email was a picture of a NY Central System train, accompanied by the classic VH logo and a date of “2.7.12.” Hopefully, that’s the album release day, which is probable as the 7th of February is a Tuesday — the typical day for new album releases.
This album better be supporting a new album. Otherwise, there’s no other conclusion than the Van Halens and DLR are in full-on money grab mode.
