Word on the street has it that Van Halen is in the finishing stages of a new record!? Several websites quoted from a “trusted source,” but I’m skeptical of the validity of this statement.

Eddie Van Halen is just one of countless celebrities stunned by the news of Michael Jackson’s sudden death by cardiac arrest on June 25, 2009. Like so many artists of all musical genres, Eddie reacted by recounting an instance of how Michael touched his life.
The media reported Eddie’s response, “I am really shocked; as I’m sure the world is, to hear the news. I had the pleasure of working with Michael on ‘Beat It’ back in ‘83 — one of my fondest memories in my career. Michael will be missed and may he rest in peace.”

Though they’re not scheduled for tour anytime soon, Van Halen has denied any rumors that their June 2, 2008 concert was their last concert.
“I’ll be making music ’til the day I die. I’ve done all kinds of stuff, and more is coming. I can’t tell you exactly when right now. Wolfgang is in the 12th grade and he needs to graduate first. Then I’m getting married in June. We’ll pick it up after that,” Eddie Van Halen said.

Eddie Van Halen recently auctioned two 1956 Chevy Classics complete with custom, theme-matching guitars with each vehicle.
The cars were auctioned at the 38th Annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, from January 11-18 with NO RESERVE!
“Rock ‘n’ roll and collector cars go hand in hand,” said President of Barrett-Jackson Steve Davis. “And Eddie’s cars, although from the same year, represent the diversity of the collector car hobby. The Nomad is restored to original specifications while the 210 is a custom built street rod with modern performance gear. I expect these cars to enter special collections that salute both rock ‘n’ roll and automobiles.”

For the past two years, Eddie Van Halen has been extensively testing the new EVH Wolfgang electric guitar. Now, it’s finally ready.
Starting January 2009, you can pick up your very own EVH guitar worldwide.
“A guitar is a very personal extension of the person playing it. You have to be emotionally and spiritually connected to your instrument. I could have just stayed at home and built this guitar for myself. I do this because a lot of people ask if they can get what I use. Well, yes you can and what you get is identical to what I use,” Van Halen said. “From the basics of the guitar to painstaking aspects like the binding and everything else-we re-did everything on this guitar.”

Van Helen’s “no brown M&M’s” concert rider has finally been explained, thanks to the estate of a concert promoter, which dusted off a copy for the Smoking Gun.
The 10-page document makes colorful demands, along with other outrageous requests for a “successful show.” The document and requests were allegedly created in order to determine if the bean-counters were actually paying attention to more important matters, such as providing four-pronged metal forks, and a few packs of specific brand cigarettes.
The M&M demand also required the backstage presence of canned malt liquor, herring in sour cream and a single tube of K-Y jelly. More details of the document can be found on thesmokinggun.com.
