Why haven't there been any updates at madanthony.com? It has been over a month. I was looking back at past news on the site over the last two or so years and seems a little strange to me.

Well looking back at the old news i found this:

On Van Halen:

BM: Alright. Ya know, all the calls we get at the radio station, at KOMP, all the Van Halen fans .... The Van Halen fans, they wanna know, they wanna know one thing. Will Van Halen be a band again? Is it still gonna happen?

MA: Van Halen will be back. It's just there are certain things... kind of dictated us taking a little bit more time off than we actually wanted to. Because you know, of course, the most important thing to all of us is getting out there and playing for the fans. Because that's been the life's blood of this band for the last, God ...next year is going to be 25 years. But Van Halen will be back.
So tell all the Van Halen fans not to worry.

I know it is not very likely but maybe they are coming back soon and that is why there is a lack of updates on his site.

I don't want to start a fight over who did what in the past, but I think that this is probably the most accurate answer to what is taking so long, certain things like Ed's health, Ed's marriage, ending ties with WB, protecting Ed's intellectual property, and probably letting all contracts run out are all combined to putting the recording of a new album on hold.

I have always felt that there's just some holdups be it legal or personal and they (VH) don't feel like giving us daily, weekly or even monthly updates.

People bitch that they don't tell us anything or that they'll keep in touch, and don't.

People would still bitch if they gave a daily update that constantly said "Gee, since yesterday we worked on some music, called our lawyers, but we're still waiting for some contracts to run out, and you know, my cancer is fine but I still have to go get checked up all the time, and my marriage isn't doing so good. Talk to you tomorrow. Love, Ed."

So between not doing anything and having people bitch, and giving updates and people still bitching, I think they're just choosing to let you guys bitch on your own.

Well, that's about as deep as I get
