To describe the current Van Halen situation a little without posting something that will set the world and Van Halen's management on fire here is what Edward Van Halen already told guitar.com:

"What have you been working on since Van Halen III?"
Edward Van Halen: "We've got so many songs. For Van Halen III, we were prepared to release a double album, but the powers that be said, no. It's hard to say what (the additional songs) sound like 'cause they're so across the board. There's some stuff that's reminiscent of old Van Halen. There's some Dark Side of the Moon Stuff, all kinds of things. And it has depth, stuff that makes you think, stuff that gives people hope instead of all this negative bullshit. See, music to me, besides it being my life, it has the power to heal. It is the universal language. It can make or break a scene in a movie. And so many parents have written us letters saying, our son was in a coma. We played Van Halen for him and he came out of it -- although whether it was to tell them to turn it off, I don't know." (laughs)

"Do you spend much time thinking about what you're going to do next with your music?"
Edward Van Halen: "Not really. Whatever we do, people always ask, was this conscious? Nothing we do is really planned. I personally don't know where music comes from. We start jamming and playing until we say, hey, that's kind of neat. We work on the neat stuff and dump the rest. To me, that's what rock 'n' roll has always been about. It's free-form music. I've never conformed to anything, and I'm not about to now just because Hanson and the Spice Girls are happening. That's not gonna change what I do. Van Halen has always been a band that's not followed trends or been a trend or anything. We just are what we are, and we take it straight to the people."

Sammy Hagar about a reunion with Van Halen:
"My fans are a lot more important to me than Van Halen or anything else, and I don't think they really want me to go back in Van Halen. And if they told me they did, and they (Van Halen) asked me to come back, I would do it if the fans said, if I put a poll on my web site, and if it was unanimous that they wanted me to do it, and they asked me, I'd do it. If they said they don't want me to do it, there's no amount of money, even if I wanted to do it, I'll never betray those fans again because they were right there with me when I got kicked out of that band, so I figure we're buddies for life now."

Interesting Van Halen related interview with Mitch Malloy posted on melodicrock.com:
"Things went so well, you actually recorded a demo with the guys live in the studio for the record. What tracks did you jam on?"

Mitch Malloy:
"Yes, it was Panama, Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love, Why Can't This Be Love, Don't Tell Me, Jump. Valerie was very nice to me and Wolfie and I had a great connection. He just took to me right away. Edward was very taken with that as I recall, he told me I must be the guy cause his son loved me. It was cool. It was very nice. Edward is really a great guy, and so is Alex and Michael. Edward was treating me like I was his best friend, his little brother. He still does most of the time. I miss him at the moment."
