From Melodicrock.com:
VAN HALEN BEST OF VOLUME 2 MOST LIKELY NEXT RELEASE:
More Van Halen rumors this week. I've had a little fresh info from one of my sources, which mirrors two other bits of info that have been mentioned elsewhere in the past week.
A newspaper in Canada has revealed information gathered at a recent Rock & Hyde reunion show (producer/musician Bob Rock and partner Paul Hyde). According to British Columbia paper The Province, Bob Rock has been tapped as the producer of 3 new tracks for a
Sammy Hagar fronted Van Halen.
The 3 tracks would appear on a new Greatest Hits release.
That's where my info comes in...I have been told that Van Halen Best Of Volume 2 will be the most likely next VH release - made more likely in light of the Canadian report (viewable at
www.rebeccabooth.com/VH_article.jpg Scan by Mike Booth - thanks Mike for the scan and link.).
Apparently the Best Of Volume 2 is being put together as a first step towards making sure the band can work together still, without any issues from the past interfering.
I am also told that this release would enable the band to do some live dates in 2004 without doing a full blown tour. If the reunion works, then a new studio album and full tour will follow.
And lastly, I hear that an announcement is imminent. Maybe straight after the new year - everything was apparently to be decided and put in place by the end of this year - fast approaching.
That's what I have folks....take it as a rumor for now, but official news can't be too far away
