Both the tour and the LP will include David Lee Roth, who went on a reunion tour with the band in 2008, but hasn’t recorded an album with them since 1983′s 1984. Billboard reports that Eddie and Alex Van Halen recently re-upped their contracts with their publisher, and that Live Nation said they were planning on a Van Halen tour in 2011, which also points to a new album.

Minor nitpick: There were two DLR songs on the 1996 Greatest Hits album.

I mean, who can forget the lyric “Steak and potatoes taste better in a bucket”?
I should have said “…recorded an album with them.” Fixed!
I’ll believe it when I see/hear it. Michael Anthony not being involved is going to bring up some issues I’m sure Ego Eddie hasn’t considered.
I don’t know how this album will turn out, but I do know this: Every DLR-era album by Van Halen is worth worshiping and they were great on the 2008 tour.
