VH "The Future" out 2/7 according to Eddie Trunk

[VAiN]

I really hope the new album is titled ''2012'' More of a ''This is our year''
''The future'' Kinda sounds lame. But whatever it is I hope it kicks ass!!!!

To me it picks up from Dave's statement in the 07 press conference - 'Meet us in the future, not the pasture'... so it all makes sense to me!

Yeah, i had the same impression, thinking it all ties in with Dave's reference.
I like it.

Whoah, so much cool shit happening, today!
I love that new graphic (album cover), it's aggressive like FW! HAHA!

God damn, February 7th!!!!
THE perfect Valentine's present, i say.

I hope they hit Boston early in the tour, as i hate the outdoor/summer shows.
I wanna see them inside, in a dark arena.

It does add up. Feb 7 is a Tuesday and most of the time thats when new albums come out.

I think we can expect a new single to debut in the first week of January!
You have to assume they will want to hit the airwaves and music television.

Fuck! All this excitement and anticipation is GREAT!

I stay away from the internet from a few days, I come back and I have an email from Van Halen. Jesus Christ! I did not see that coming!

I really like the supposed new cover. When thinking of what they might do for cover art, I couldn't think of anything that wouldn't be lame or just a logo. They thought of something good though. The steam train is huge, like their sound and image, it is a classic, like the band and it looks kind of aggressive.

I think the title should be 2012 like GRAZI said though. 1984 was a year that people were anxious of the world being taken over by Big Brother (or whatever), and iconic year. We enter 2012 with people being anxious about the supposed end of the world, once again an iconic age. It would a good allusion to the classic days, yet modern.

I agree, rock on Jack! It's gonna be a good year.

I keep re-clicking on that intial email, as that cover looks so badass!

I'm totally down with 2/7, and i like how they did this.
Very few words, yet powerful.

I think the point will be, it's gonna be about the music.
Fuck the tweets, the constant yapping to the press (ala Chickenfoot), the FB, etc.
It's coming, so get ready.

Eddie Trunk is an ass. He knows just as much as us die hards do.
