+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted August 9, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted August 9, 2010 With Original Frontman, Van Halen to Release New Album in 2011 The rockers are currently working on their first studio album in more than two decades in 2011 along with original frontman David Lee Roth. Rockers Van Halen are back in the studio with original frontman David Lee Roth and will release their first studio album in more than two decades in 2011. The group completed its reunion tour with Roth in 2008 and many fans expected them to follow up the road success with a new record, but there was no word on any upcoming projects. However, the band recently renewed its deal with publishers Warner/Chappell and guitarist Eddie Van Halen and his drummer brother Alex have revealed they are working on new material. They stated, "(Van Halen) is currently in the studio recording an album with Roth that is due for release in 2011." And the band will promote the forthcoming disc by hitting the road once again, reports Billboard. The site claims the rockers' manager and Live Nation promotions executive Irving Azoff mentioned a Van Halen 2011 tour during a discussion about concert earnings on Thursday, August 5. The group's previous studio album, "Van Halen III", was released in 1998 and featured Gary Cherone on vocals. Roth last appeared with his Van Halen pals on their best-selling 1983 release, titled "1984". Source: aceshowbiz.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rathefeare Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 too bad roth's voice isn't nearly as good as it used to be I never thought his voice was the selling point. It was his wry playful delivery of witty lines and most of all his live performances that were his strengths. I am pretty sure he can pull of the first still just as I am pretty doubtful of his ability to pull off the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOC Veteran Posted August 11, 2010 Veteran Share Posted August 11, 2010 Still far better than Gary Cherone's. :laugh: Bingo :D I never thought his voice was the selling point. It was his wry playful delivery of witty lines and most of all his live performances that were his strengths. I am pretty sure he can pull of the first still just as I am pretty doubtful of his ability to pull off the second. Yeah that's what I thought about him also. I think it's awesome Van Halen are getting back together like this :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
