    Incredible how happy/outgoing he has recently become with myspace, twitter, and what not. Remember just a couple of years ago? It sure is a welcome change.

    2010 VH tours with DLR.
    2011 VH parts way with DLR.
    2012 VH reunites with sam and mike. make album and tours.
    2013 VH realizes they can’t stand sam and mike.
    2014 VH recruits susan boyle to sing for VH. susan is delighted to sing VH songs from all three eras.
    2014 VH parts way with boyle due to the fact that she is a retard!
    2015 VH parts way with wolfie. wolfie replaces satch in chickenfoot.
    2016 Ed and AL decides they are too old for this shit and retires to cabo san lucas and opens a bar name “BIG BAD BILL” across from the cabo wabo.
    2017 VH fans on VHND are still bitching and being dramatic!

    sorry guys, my wife is in labor and i was bored! we are naming our boy EDWARD ALEXANDER!

  15. ben says:

    You can see the reflex of basket on the water!

  16. kayser sozay says:

    Congrats Sammyvanroth!

  17. Simdood says:

    So nice to see Eddie with a smile on his face. He looks healthy, happy and content. Good to finally see the old Eddie back.

  18. GKG5150 says:

    What they need to do is to play what the TRUE LIFELONG FANS WANT TO HEAR…..PAH-LEASE WE’VE ALL SEEN THEM 30,40,50+ times, it’s enough with the same old schtick!!! LONG LIVE the machine that is the MIGHTY VAN HALEN!!!!!!!!!

  19. name withheld says:

    i am gonna write some thought that come to mind at random:

    were gonna finally get alot of van halen publicity now that eddie married a publicist! she builds her new company..and van halen finally connects with the fans!
    plus…wolfie is in touch with the younger generation. thats gonna boost it.
    but if there is no mystery in van halen…it may backfire and make the band too accessible. oh well…better more than less at this point.
    roth is younger than sammy…and i like sammy..sometimes more than roth…but roth is gonna be a better younger payoff.
    chickenfoot makes sense.
    chad smith playing with a single bass and a simplistic style makes chickenfoot less likely to sound like van halen and less progressive. but, sounding great and classic..like led zep.
    mikey can have freedom in the chickenfoot band. its a band that doesnt bear the name of two members or half of a band.
    sammy has alot of money. you know he is doing chickenfoot for mike.
    plus…its a slight slap in the face to eddie. satriani is a guitar god..and he is more diverse than eddie..and hasnt abused himself like eddie has. of course eddie invented the style that satriani took and turned into his own thing. eddie will always get the credit for that. he has forever cemented his mark as THE guitar god.
    but, i think sam and mike know that in a slight way, they are putting pressure on eddie to straighten up..and find himself again. people will make comparisons of eddie and the new van halen to satriani…and eddie isnt the loser type.
    its a win win every direction.
    but i miss mike in van halen. and ill miss those background vocals!
    we will get music from chickenfoot, and music from van halen!
    music from sammy! but probably no more music from van hagar for a while.
    but i bet you…one day…as eddie realizes his drunken past..and confused anger towards mike and sam(whatever that is!)….he will apologize. wolfy will split off after he makes a name for himself in van halen…and wolfie will tell his dad…”hey dad…get mike back..i dont wanna be the reason the fans cant get that and you should apologize to mike..and i want to go off on my own and be my own man…and i want the respect of not making it off my fathers legacy”.

    but you know…i like the progressive style eddie and alex played after hooking up with hagar.
    with roth, it was more bee bop 50’s sounding. of course it was a gem…it lacked the ballsy recording the evolved in the late 80’s too. 1984 with roth…was radical! and then roth left! the drums..finally came through in the mix! wow. good for alex!
    but mikey only got to show off his pipes..his bass was hidden till f.u.c.k. album.
    as usual with van halen, we never get the whole thing that we want. only a partial. never satisfied. never the full thing. never….

    and by the way, i thought vh3 was a great album. it just wasnt the expected van halen. but its great. put it back in the big stereo and turn it up loud. van cherone was different, but good. just think of it as a different band youll love it!

  20. dlr says:

    Great pics. Now let’s see some with The Diamond One in the pics!!! EVH looks as well as ever. I’ll keep fingers crossed.

  21. Bocephus says:

    He looks well and happy.

    Nice work Ed, keep it up.

  22. sykes in Savannah says:

    To see a legend in the studio is a good thing! Need some new tunes, but I still love all the old (no matter who is singing), since I was born I liked guitar music, since I heard eruption (live), I LOVE GUITAR!

  23. Brad says:

    Sammyvanroth: If your wife is in labor, it would behoove you to get your ass in there and let her break a few of your fingers or something. That is, unless she doesn’t want you in there.

    Anything stupid you do during a woman’s pregnancy is never forgotten.

    Oh yeah, and Ed looks good. The man’s come a long way from 2004. I don’t care what you think about him, you have to give him his due on that…..

  24. Pliskin says:

    He looks great. I’m looking forward to the new tour.

    I like the new modern look, though someone should tell him that the jeans with knee-holes style is about 20 years off now. :)

  25. dlr says:

    Whoa I say momma living ain’t a luxury
    Whoa I say momma Ain’t A Little Ain’t Enough For me………..

    Might could be worked in the next tour setlist somewhere?

  26. andy says:

    There’s a wooden wall next to his mixing console with a lot of “black rectangular objects” on it. Anybody know what those are?

  27. Corvette Dave says:

    This just keeps getting and better……awesome !!

  28. John R says:

    Sobriety!

  29. Bullitt says:

    Hehe, 80’s style dimmer switches for all the lights in the studio! =)

  30. RickieVanWhalen says:

    I think those are the decibel scales throughout the studio?

  31. Keith says:

    Ben, you see a basket in the puddle ? I see branches, and water

  32. Garrett says:

    Thanks for posting these. Now I won’t have to log in to that gawd awful social networking monstrosity they call “Myspace.”

  33. dlr says:

    Ed is smiling a good bit these days kind of like he is up to something. Could Janie be pregnant????

  34. Darren from Brooklyn says:

    Kool. Nice to see him smiling again.

  35. Bluesbro says:

    Great pictures, I see some of that old fun loving Eddie in both of them. Maybe with thie money they make off the next tour he can buy some jeans without holes in them ;)

  36. Skutch says:

    Bluesbro, I guarantee he bought those jeans on Rodeo Ave with the holes already there. Probably $400 a pair. LOL

  37. kenny says:

    this whole thing is a publicity stunt!!!!!!! Eddie doesnt care about the fans or the music anymore, he lost it years agoooooooooo. IT’S all about the almighty dollar to him!

  38. sammyvanroth says:

    brad, my wife is a hardcore VH fan. she asked me to go in the lobby and check up on the VHND for new updates. she’s a warrior! and it was her idea to name our baby edward alexander! born 2:25am sept 12……

  39. Bob says:

    Andy i’d say those are DAT tapes. Probably with alot of material he’s written and possibly a new hit.

  40. Lou says:

    They are freaking pictures, people calm down! I think it’s funny how people try to “read” something into the pictures. It is what it is. Glad to hear VH is touring next year, will be more excited if there is actually new music to go along with it. I agree w/ Kenny, this is a money grab, Ed does not give a damn about the fans.

  41. Fab says:

    PUT OUT A NEW DISC AND TOUR… WHO CARES ABOUT THE REST!

  42. scott says:

    name withheld says chad smith is less progressive? alex is just another drummer, nothing special. chad smith has far more feel and flare to his style. sammy doing chickenfoot for mike? chad smith was the guy pushing for a band with sam and mike. new pictures and recent comments from eddie… whatever! vh really is just about the money. dave doesn’t really sing in a live show, he talks his way through the songs when he remembers the words. satch is by far a more diverse player then eddie. ed is the same riff in different keys everythings sounds the same when it comes to the solo

    thank god for chickenfoot

  43. john says:

    roll up onto the sidewalk and take a better look

  44. john says:

    chickenfoot at least put forth new material……..still waiting for the new VH material..(cricket sounds)…..(more cricket sounds)……..(even more cricket sounds)…..

  45. phillster says:

    I SEE THE SAME OLD FACES&HEAR THAT SAME OLD TALK.
    THIS IS HOME,
    THIS IS MEAN ST.

  46. phillster says:

    CONGRATS SammyVanRoth!!!!!
    Welcome to the “club”;)
    “Hope you don`t mind sleeping for the next18yrs”LOL
    Best Wishes;)

  47. andy says:

    Bob : Yeah, the ones under the guitars are probably DAT tapes. I was thinkin’ about the ones in the upper-right part of the image. The big black rectangles with a “bright round thingy” sorta in the middle. There’s about 5-10 of these, and I can’t see what they are on my monitor. Any guess?

  48. L. J. says:

    ED you loook great man, really looking healthy! Wolf is the MAN! His bass playing really kicks ass! Peace!

  49. Rocko says:

    First pic was good.

  50. DiamondDLR says:

    All the publicity in the world isn’t worth a damn without new music. Over and out.

  51. swingin' sinner says:

    these are old pictures from before he even got married!

  52. dlr says:

    It’s all here and now my friends
    It ain’t once upon a time
    It’s all over but the shouting
    I come to take what’s mine……..

  53. dlr says:

    Somebody said Fair Warning
    Lord stike that poor boy down
    Get it Edward!!!!!

  54. non-stop rocker blue eyed booger muncher legend says:

    rock on. Hopefully Diamond is writing new lyrics too!

    PEACE OUT

  55. Pete says:

    Proof of life…we have proof of life. Now press record and “play”…

    Still can’t get used to those new chompers of Ed…I felt so bad for him when his teeth became discolored due to the cancer treatments he took…he looked so humbled…now it’s like HOLY COW…those are some big-ass, white chompers!

    Ed does look good. I hope his new honey keeps him happy and alive. There’s just been so much wasted time with Ed, and I’m SURE there’s so much more music between his ears that we’ve yet to hear.

  56. Dooley says:

    The pics are nice. But Chickenfoot going gold with their debut album means more. Eddie: get off your ass and put some new music out.

  57. D.O.A. 5150 says:

    dlr didn’t you get a fair warning from scar last week? LOL.

  58. halenhead says:

    Okay, the pics are great. Now how about some new music?

  59. Fair Warning says:

    I grabbed that telephone
    I thought we were alone
    Telling me there’s company
    Your husband’s comin’ home…

  60. stephan chartier says:

    eddie you look great long live the king !!!!!!!!! A new Vh cd now that’s what i am talking about

  61. Bob says:

    Andy, I’d say those are monitors in my best guess.

  62. Vanicionado says:

    This is the first sign of hope I have for a new album…

    Cause about the time they released ‘F.U.C.K.’there was a lot of pix and interviews in the guitar mags.

    I remember alot of smiling Eddie pix, with bad, poofy ‘91 Rock Hair, some Lennon-shaped dark sun glasses, some bad ‘91 clothing, and an Ernie Ball guitar.

    And cowboy boots, and 5150.

    And they took those during the making…

    We’ll see.

  63. mg says:

    Let The Van Halen Rock n Roll Parade Begin.Eddie Looks Good And A New Album Would Sound Better.

  64. joe bordon says:

    notice the stripped floor in the first photo,its the driveway at 5150,seen it with my eyes,good that the whole van halen is cruising along at a steady pace.

  65. Renfis Otto says:
