===2024–present: Aftermath=== In October and November 2024,<ref name="2025_RS">{{cite web|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/alex-van-halen-eddie-van-halen-brothers-book-interview-1235129960/|work=Rolling Stone|title=My Brother, Eddie Van Halen: Alex Van Halen Tells All|author=Hiatt, Brian|date=October 15, 2024|accessdate=January 9, 2025}}</ref> Alex Van Halen announced that he has been going through the band's various backlog of unreleased songs and his intentions to release the material as a tribute to his deceased brother. He stated: "There are so many different variables in a band like ours. We don't just walk in the studio and plan, 'Let's make a record,' although we have done that to some degree. But it's not a mechanical process for us. We go in and we play and see what happens, listen to it, invite a couple of people and then see what happens with that. ...But now that Ed's gone, none of those things are really valid because all I have, and Wolf has, is all the recordings in the vault. And they will stay there until we figure out how and why and what to do with them. And again, you have to remember, it has to be on the level of where Ed and I, where we used to play." The musician explained that there is enough material for three to four complete albums.<ref name="2025_BM">{{cite web|url=https://blabbermouth.net/news/alex-van-halen-says-there-is-probably-three-or-four-records-worth-of-unreleased-eddie-van-halen-music\work=Blabbermouth|title=ALEX VAN HALEN Says There Is 'Probably Three Or Four' Records' Worth Of Unreleased EDDIE VAN HALEN Music|publisher=Blabbermouth.net|date=November 16, 2024|accessdate=January 9, 2025}}</ref> Alex detailed that in addition to the need for collaboration with other musicians to complete these variety of songs, he has looked into the potential use of [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] to duplicate the style of guitar work by his brother, Eddie Van Halen.
