Eddie Van Halen’s Holiday Message

From Eddie’s Facebook:

I would like to thank all of you for your continued support. Have a safe and happy holiday and a rockin’ new year! See you soon!

Eddie

  • JSTDNS

    See you soon for sure. Bring the family by for brunch!

  • Steve

    Sounds positive for something new in 2011

  • Panama Red

    I will be buying the new CD the day it goes on sale and I will probably blow the speakers out in my stereo.

  • Don

    All of us truly diehard Van Halen fans wish you guys a safe and Merry Christmas. Obviously greatly understated, we are truly excited and optimistic about new VH music in ’11.

    May this be the year when we get some great new Van Halen music and a largely successful, well-received tour with a strong in-their-own-right opening act.

    To Dave, Ed, Al, and Wolfie, I for one wish you guys the very best in this season of family and friends and nothing but the very best of luck in 2011. While keeping things in perspective, there are greater things in life than Van Halen. I simply say that in my life it starts with God, my beautiful, angelic wife, family, good friends, and a tall, cold one on a hot July evening with ‘So This Is Love?’ cranked up with steaks on the grill.

    Thanks for the music, memories, and friendships made and I speak for many when I say we are soooooooooooooooooo looking forward to hearing from you guys in Ed’s words “soon!”

    Take care, God Bless, and Peace to you all!

    Happy Holidays to you, too. Now cut the crap and bring back Michael Anthony!

    Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to you, Wolfie, Alex and Dave. Don’t listen to all the negative crap around here such as the album won’t be made, bringing michael anthony back etc for goodness sake the band wouldn’t still be going if not for Wolfgang, so learn to live with it. As long as Eddie and Alex are in the band I’ll take any new music from Van Halen! BE OPTIMISTIC PEOPLE!

    I’m definitely looking forward to seeing Van Halen soon.

    (Let’s hope that the fans who read the VHND respect the spirit of Ed’s message and don’t use it as another excuse to take a swipe at the band. Lighten up, guys!)

  • 51504VH

    Happy Holidays Van Halen (Dave,Ed,Alex, and Wolfie). See you guys front and center in 2011.

  • Brian

    That guitar is a hidden message..
    WHAT does it mean????!?!

  • chrisvanguitar5150

    It’s good to see the note from Ed, and indeed it does sound very good! Glad to see nobody hating on Eddie and the boys, which is a nice change. This is going to be an amazing year! I hope Ed, Al, Wolfie and Dave are doing great and see you 4 as soon as possible!!!

  • J5150C

    Thank you, and happy holidays to you too, Janie.

  • Ray

    same to you Ed…see you down the road…

  • phil

  • Dave Gunger

    Back at ya! Thank you for letting us stay informed through VHND. Is Reverend Al going to perform a Christmas service? Rock on!

    P.S. I took a great “end of show” photo all of you from the Chicago ’08 gig. I’ll mail it to ya soon. It’s a really good shot.

    “No Boozin”

    Merry Christmas Eddie to your and Your Family, god bless and stay strong and healthy. Hope we see you on the road in 2011.
    VH is, Eddie, Alex Dave and Wolfie.

  • Steve 5150

    Great to hear something from Eddie like back in the mid to late 90′s when this was the usual. Really was cool to see this.

  • ed

  • enrico

    I can’t wait no more!
    Happy Holidays from Milano- North Italy

  • pete

    Yeah ok ed, thanks for keeping ur fans up to date. Would be nice to have some real news.

  • T-Con

    Thanks Ed. How about an announcement that you are working on some material for a new album in 2011. That would be a nice Christmas present for the fans that made you who you are. We’re not asking for much.

    Remember, without us, no $$ for album sales and no $$ for concerts. Throw us a Christmas bone!!!!

  • Ben

    Happy holidays looking forward to seeing you on the road next year!

  • Lifelong FAN

    Thanks Van Halen for that Holiday message ! LOL

  • Brock Landers

    “HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM VAN HALEN
    Los Angeles, CA — December 29, 2009
    Happy New Year to our fans, friends and family.

    May 2010 bring health, happiness, peace and love to you and yours.

    Keep Rockin’
    Dave, Eddie, Alex and Wolfgang”

    Cmon Boys!! Update your own website, or at least change the date for us……..

    Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. It’s going to be a rockin year! Chickenfoot, Halen, Aerosmith w/Paul Rodgers, and maybe even Page/Daltry!!

  • WTF

    Happy holidays to you too ED,AL,WOLFIE,AND DAVE. I can’t help but point out your website was last updated with this very same message but for 2010 instead of 2011 maybe your wife could do a better job of keeping us posted seeing how she’s a publicist and all. Bands older than yours have embraced the internet give it a try.

  • Tater Salad

    Brian: it means Eddie Van Halen is flipping awesome! Haha

    Happy holidays everyone!! :)

  • Roth_Brutha

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS to the greatest rock band in human history:

    David Lee Roth = lead vocals
    Eddie Van Halen = lead guitar
    Alex Van Halen = drums
    Michael Anthony = bass

  • Dooley

    Everybody knows this band absolutely sucks at public relations. But the fact that Ed wrote “See you soon!” is a good thing. I like Sam’s approach much better. Whether you like him or not, everything is up front where you can see it.

  • Big Boy

    This all sounds promising……but we’ll see. With Van Halen, you never know. Eddie & Dave could easily be “divored” in a month or two or they might “live happily ever after” (let’s hope so!).

  • http://davidrobinsonmagic.com David

    Merry Christmas to the guys in Van Halen (Eddie, Alex, Wolf, and David Lee) and even Mike and Sam.
    Also Merry Christmas to all the fellow Van Halen fans.

    Being in entertainment field, and with a very good personal source, I can tell you for sure that a new Van Halen CD is about to be recorded (not a rumor) and the material is killer! True Van Halen classic fans will be very pleasantly surprised in the coming months!!! Get ready to Rock!!!

    Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

  • WTF

    Dooley I know what your saying and I didn’t want my post to seem negative. I’m very excited to read or hear anything from the world’s greatest rock band. It just sucks that Sam and or Chickenfoot are more fan accessible. Everything doesn’t have to revolve around new music or not just let us know what your up too.

  • Tommy Boy

    Merry Christmas folks…peace n love to all.

  • Kevin Rider

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to my all time favorite band and guitar God. Looking forward to Fair Warning II coming out with DLR next year and to see the band again. The most amazing live band ever and I’ve seen Fair Warning, Diver Down, 1984, 5150, F.U.C.K., and the reunion tour.

  • JACK N SAM

    That’s because Sam is a business man – he is good at selling a product. Ed is only good at making music.

  • paul wilkinson

    happy and safe christmas to all VH fans!!!!! from a very cold england

  • Fair Warning

    I would like to wish a Merry Christmas to Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani and Chad Smith

  • Phil

    Happy Holidays VHND! Have a great one.

  • Dooley

    I hear ya’ WTF. Best of everything in the rock n roll universe and elsewhere in 2011.

  • Joe

    i was listening to Fergie with Heart and if you were ever thinking about having a women lead singer there you go !

  • Careyvanhalen

    Make amends with Michael Anthony!!

  • pauleeroth

    Merry Christmas and a stellar NEW YEAR to Van Halen and a huge toast to everyone at VHND, thanks for all the scoops. Don’t forget us here in Australia, we do it pretty tough here, as far as VH tours go…

  • swizzle

    Merry Christmas, Happy New Year & Good Health, & Happiness to VH News Desk & Van Halen.

    Very much looking forward to 2011.

    ~Cheers,

    A fan 4 ever.

  • phillster

    If Ed says “See You Soon”;
    Believe it.
    Period.

  • 5150nick
