Extreme‘s Gary Cherone revealed that there’s still a wealth of unheard music in the vaults from his late-’90s stint fronting Van Halen. He explained, “After the VH III (album). . . we toured (and) went back in the studio, and we wrote a bunch of songs. Some of them are just rough demos; some of them were more finished products.”

He went on to say, “As far as if they ever see the light of day, I don’t know, maybe someday. Alex Van Halen is the boss of that, but you never know. But I can say some of those songs are really good.”

Bassist Michael Anthony recently told Eddie Trunk, “There is a plan. We’re starting a bunch of the reissue stuff with the Sammy (Hagar) years, with all his albums. . . So there is movement in there. We’re digging back into stuff. There’s a lot more stuff at Ed (Van Halen’s) 5150 studio; Wolfie (Van Halen) or Alex will start going through stuff there and see what there is. There’s a ton of stuff.”
