[Sensible Shoes]

There's a clip of another song called "The Trouble with Never".......but Amazon won't let me buy either one.

[Zing!]

Holy balls. 'The Trouble With Never' just swallowed my soul. And I'm begging for more. HELLO! Could this day get any better? Oh yeah... CSI tonight!

[joetas]

Not to tease but the full track is awesome! Love the solo and little dave spoken word bit!

[ZahZoo]

Hot Damn... Trouble with Never kicks some serious ass!!!!

[Little Texan]

[Guitar Shark]

Wow! This is like an orgasm that never ends!

[ZahZoo]

Darn geographical restrictions won't let me buy it...

[kwame k]

[kwame k]

Wow! This is like an orgasm that never ends!


Well...........

Nah, too easy;)

[joetas]

[Guitar Shark]

Thread title edited and stickied!

[joetas]

Awesome, Amazon says it was released on Monday, wonder if its been on the site since then?

Joe

[Combat Ready]

Wow. These are Good Times. Damn Good Times!

Sounds great. This album is gonna be big.
Nice to see the VH PR machine finally doing something....

[clarathecarrot]

Wow!........

[hain23x]

Someone needs to check amazon Istanbul and see if they have the whole album for download now

[WARF]

Did I just hear Michael Anthony-esque harmonies????

[DLR Bridge]

Awesome chorus!! Hey, Wolfs voice is none too deep last we heard.

[SparkieD]

Did I just hear Michael Anthony-esque harmonies????

Now you know those must've been piped in :)

[WARF]

This song is legitimate proof Van Halen can make Classic Van Halen sounding songs WITHOUT Michael Anthony!!!!

Are you guys excited?!?!?!

[jhale667]

WOW!! :killer:

[JJtheVagPounder]

Holy dog shit that rocks!

[VAiN]

Holy shit!!!! A double whammy wednesday!! This song roooooocks!!!!!

Hey Brits, wake the fuck up and download this, NOW!!!

[DLR'sCock]

Ok, I tried to buy the clip, but it wouldn't let me......due to geographical restrictions. So how does one get it if they do not live in the UK?

[Vinnie Velvet]

This song is legitimate proof Van Halen can make Classic Van Halen sounding songs WITHOUT Michael Anthony!!!!

Are you guys excited?!?!?!

Damn straight bro.

CVH LIVES!!!!

[SNIPER]

Bad ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WARF]

Damn straight bro.

CVH LIVES!!!!

I won't go as far to say CVH LIVES...

Classic Van Halen died in Germany in the summer of 84'... and it can't be classic Van Halen without the original lineup!

This is a new era... and I am embracing it! It's really great to hear the harmonies back... I thought they would be missing for the entire album.

[mohican]

Dave's voice hasn't noticeably changed in 30 years.

[DLR'sCock]

how do you get the whole clip?????

[WARF]

Dave's voice hasn't noticeably changed in 30 years.

Daves' voice has changed ALOT over the years.... and i'm not saying that is a bad thing.

Long gone are the WHISTLE screams.... you would be a fool to believe those are still there!

I like Daves' voice now, it's alot deeper.... more bluesy... and the most important aspect of his voice is THE CHARISMA IS STILL THERE!!!!

[Sensible Shoes]

how do you get the whole clip?????

Apparently, you have to live in the UK.

[VAiN]

Have any of you in the UK gotten this yet?????


(If so, I want a copy)

[DLR'sCock]

Apparently, you have to live in the UK.

I was hoping someone knew a way around this.......this album is going to kick so much ass..........

[DLR'sCock]

Have any of you in the UK gotten this yet?????


(If so, I want a copy)


we all want a copy..........!!!!

[Sensible Shoes]

They must have caught on after we all got tattoo early off the NZ site ( it wasn't amazon)

[JJtheVagPounder]

we all want a copy..........!!!!

I want one more than you. :first: They call me the one upper....

[Dave's Bitch]

How typical is it that I don't get paid till next week :pullinghair:

[Sensible Shoes]

I want one more than you. :first: They call me the one upper....

I want one the most. They call me superlative.

[JJtheVagPounder]

I want one the most. They call me superlative.

Touche...

[WARF]

Dave is almost hitting 60 years old!
If you're expecting him to BELT OUT unchained like it's 1981... it's not gonna happen...
Hell... I think his kicks would still be there if he didn't take his knee out with the ninja sword!
I love all the music heard so far??? Is it better than the first six?? Hell no!
However, it's by far the best Van Halen music recorded since 1984...
Dave has been good to us over the years... You know I remember staring in AWE at him at Cafe Wha?
He's a much older David Lee Roth.... The spandex and whistle screams are gone...
But don't be depressed over that... we have a much wiser and mature Roth still on top of his game!!
He is a much better song writer than he was 30 years ago... and dare I say more humble???
Whatever the case.... This is Van fucking Halen..... better than ever!

[SNIPER]

Everybody wants a copy, I want one too!! HAHA

[guwapo_rocker]

I want one the most. They call me superlative.

Ahem, that's not what we call you. :bolt:

[Northern Girl]

So, does this sound completely new then?

[Sensible Shoes]

Ahem, that's not what we call you. :bolt:

How bout, you're not included in "they"! :biggrin:

[SNIPER]

So, does this sound completely new then?

Although it just being a small sample I don't hear anything familiar and I love it!!

[Cruiser]

This song fookin rocks...what a great day!

[Northern Girl]

Although it just being a small sample I don't hear anything familiar and I love it!!

Cool! I'm not an expert in the unreleased stuff.

[WARF]

I was gonna start a thread earlier today...

I just recently dumped a girlfriend because she didn't like Van Halen....

It may sound irrational to some people... hell I dont care if the lady was missing arms and legs...

But if a women is nagging me to shut off Van Halen??? The only band that ever mattered??? BYE BYE!!!!

Loyalty is the key....

If you ain't 1000% Roth... that I dont have respect for ya!

I never spent a penny on Hagar.... NEVER!!!!

I boycotted every Van Halen disc after 1984.... every tour.... and I pride myself on being a TRUE FAN!

Hell, I was fired here for refusing to stop dissing Hagar at vhlinks.... FACT!!! haha

[gbranton]

Did I just hear Michael Anthony-esque harmonies????

No way. We've been told that Van Halen's Michael Anthony Harmonies™ can't exist with Michael Anthony.

[wadzilla74]

Love this shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kwame k]

No way. We've been told that Van Halen's Michael Anthony Harmonies™ can't exist with Michael Anthony.

Sure they can...you just pipe 'em in;)

[FORD]

So, does this sound completely new then?

Yeah, this one sounds like they wrote it completely from scratch (as opposed to the other three we have heard already, which were all built on older songs).

Of course that's not to say it couldn't have existed in early 1985, or in the previous reunion attempts of 1996 or 2000-01, but nothing that's been in circulated bootlegs at least.

Not that any of this fucking matters of course. What matters is that it goddamn rocks. :rockon:

[Guitar Shark]

I never spent a penny on Hagar.... NEVER!!!!


Well, except for that Directors Cut of Beaches at your house...

[FORD]

Sammy is the wind beneath WARF's wings :lmao:

I have dated many women who did not share my love for VH and they would bitch, complain, and mock me when I would play or talk anything VH. I am thankful for my girlfriend of 4 years loves VH almost as much as I do and we can share that with each other. Makes life easier. Now isn't that sweet? :appl:

[WARF]

Well, except for that Directors Cut of Beaches at your house...

BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!!!!!!

I think I got RUTHLESS PEOPLE laying around somewhere too....

A double whammy!!!!

Interesting. It's usually RUSH that the women can't stand.

[JJtheVagPounder]

Interesting. It's usually RUSH that the women can't stand.

Why don't women like Rush? I would think they would appreciate a touted rock band with a female lead singer.

[SNIPER]

Interesting. It's usually RUSH that the women can't stand.

Well, deep down I am sure they liked it but they would rather make my life hell any way they could it seemed.

My minimum requirement is that you can atleast tolerate it...

I mean... it's all I listen to at home... in the car... singin in the shower.... or while i'm fucking!!!

So if you reject this... it's like rejecting me having kid or something to that extent.

I am obsessed with Van Halen.... I wouldn't take a million bucks to support Hagar....

[Johnniebhoy]

Both of the new songs are amazing! Blood and Fire is so good, it's way more than just a reworking of the Wild Life instrumental, really top track!
However, The Trouble With Never is even better! Sounds like a classic Dave song - "How deep does a rabbit hole go?" He really is on top form here! It has a really great tempo, fantastic backing vocals and a killer solo!

You guys are gonna love these when you get to hear them properly, the clips don't do them justice at all!

I really like Tattoo, but, these are way better!

[Sensible Shoes]

That's very sweet.

[ToraToraTora]

If tattoo had Daves stamp all over it, this one has Eddies stamp all over it....welcome back Eddie. LOVE IT

[So this is love]

Aren`t we all obsessed with VH ...but in all conscience I worked all my life for assholes and prick along with putting up with jealous people for a lot less than a million bucks... But it would fucking hurt to accept beeing part of Chickenfuck...it would feel like having to share a cell with boubah in a Max sec jail

[Northern Girl]

When you turn on your stereo, does it return the favor? I gotta know...

[ZahZoo]

Where's Sesh..?

Poor guy probably passed out and called it a night... now he's missing all the hoopla in his neighborhood!!

You have to dump anyone that doesn't let you be yourself. Period! Even if they don't like it...they have to let you do your thing. Unless you are WARF, which I'll get to...

[Tiki-Tom]

Hell yes!!!!! Now thats what I've been waitin' all these years for. Killer sounds goin down here......it sounds to me like wolf has the EEAS bass sound goin' on here. :)

[iamthedoctor]

Just downloaded both of these from Amazon UK.....Trouble with Never is HUGE!!!! Happy F****n January :-)

Cheeky bastard....

Even as a hardcore fan, this would be very annoying.

Prepare to be alone for the rest of your life!

Or at least find a few other bands you like...

[WARF]

Hey Northern Girl,

I'm single.... will you let me be me????

Let's rock out... and name our kids FROSTY and TATiana uh uh u hu hu h u

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Can't wait to hear Ed's solo on this one.....

[Northern Girl]

Just downloaded both of these from Amazon UK.....Trouble with Never is HUGE!!!! Happy F****n January :-)

Gloating is very unbecoming! :bigwink:

But so is envy...:)

I actually listen to alot of other bands, but Van Halen is what never seems to leave the ipod.

I'm too old for you! My eggs dried up during the great Van Halen Drought.

[Sensible Shoes]

I'm too old for you! My eggs dried up during the great Van Halen Drought.


LMAO! Ditto.

[SNIPER]

My women let me put Tattoo on a play loop at bed time for the first 3 nights after its release. Thats true love. haha

[WARF]

I'm too old for you! My eggs dried up during the great Van Halen Drought.

I like em' older baby!!!!

I'll enter the bedroom with a roundhouse kick and a backwards somersault.... ya dig????

Your eggs are dried.... my brain is scrambled.... we are a perfect combo!!!

[WARF]

My women let me put Tattoo on a play loop at bed time for the first 3 nights after its release. Thats true love. haha

I like how you said MY WOMEN not MY WOMAN!!!!

[Halen High]

So, does this sound completely new then?

From what I can tell from the short clip, I think so. Perhaps it's from the 2000 sessions or something Eddie and Dave came up with when they started writing for the new album at Dave's house in 2009.

[SNIPER]

I like how you said MY WOMEN not MY WOMAN!!!!

Ha!! oops

TWN - I've never heard any of it before. The main riff is mental....very Eat'em and Smile. Got a big cheesy grin on my face. Bet the buggers don't tour the UK though!@&(*&^

[WARF]

LMAO! Ditto.

I get where you're coming from. This girl I used to date asked me one night, after we'd both had a few beers, "What are you passionate about? And you can't say raising your daughter, or Van Halen or David Lee Roth." I knew what answer she was looking for - "why YOU honey, of course"...So I said raising my daughter, Van Halen and David Lee Roth. :)

[Sensible Shoes]

Slow down, Marky!

Tell us how you really feel;)

I was doing a quick check on the site today before a meeting and boom! These two clips drop!

I kept trying to move the meeting along, looking at the clock, interrupting people when they started their chit chat and cursing the Gods until I could log off the VPN and rock out!!!!!!!

Most productive meeting I've had all year;)

[Seshmeister]

I need to hear these fucking songs in their entirety.

Tattoo comes a poor third to both.

[Seshmeister]

"When you turn on your stereo does it return the favor!?"

[Halen High]

Happy Australia Day to you and family and ALL the other Aussies at the Roth Army!

I'm trying to be objective as well as a fan, but I can honestly say that I'm blown away by what we've heard so far. Just listened to those few seconds of Trouble With Never again - how much does that ROCK!

[DLR Bridge]

"When you turn on your stereo does it return the favor!?"

Had to make one of these gems Dave served up my new siggy.

[Warham]

Tattoo comes a poor third to both.

"Tattoo" is just an average CVH tune. I knew the other shit would be better.

[Matt White]

I'm so FUCKING JAZZED for this new CD to drop..............

and lucky too....my Lady is not at ALL into "rock", let alone "Hard Rock"....yet I never catch any grief for listening to what I do.....

true story: We're sitting around the other night...I mention how fired up I am with the new VAN HALEN single...her 9 yr old son hears us....walks into the living room and belts out....

"I got elvis, on my elbow,
when I flex, Elvis talks,
I got hula Girls on the back on my leg,
and she hulas when I walk"......all the while doing the crazy DIAMOND DAVE dance from the TATTOO video (which of course I watched with him numerous times)

We BOTH cracked up....she thought it was HYSTERICAL......."Way to go kid....you're gonna go far!"

[Luke D]

Managed to get both songs off Amazon UK using a proxy. Love em both!

[WARF]

Can someone please put the entire song on youtube if you got it in the UK??

[guwapo_rocker]

Managed to get both songs off Amazon UK using a proxy. Love em both!

I can NOT fucking believe how good Blood and Fire is!! Damn right Dave, you said you'd be back...waited 29 fucking years for this and it's like you never left. Anybody who doesn't like this - what more are you hoping for???

[Little Texan]

That solo on Blood and Fire...holy shit! King Edward is back! That is his best solo in many years!

Dave has not lost a bit of his lyric writing ability...all stellar thus far, and he hadn't written any lyrics for an original song since the DLR Band album.

I didn't sign up.

Hover over the album cover upper left under VH Radio logo, and hit play.

[Yount]

still waiting...

[DONNIEP]

Hey Sammy - did you feel that when you hit play on Blood and Fire??? That was all the air being sucked out of the room.. Get used to it you fat bastard... :gulp:

[guwapo_rocker]

still waiting...

Turn the volume up :)

[guwapo_rocker]

I reloaded the page and it still works for me.

[scottydabodi]

I just listened to these new tracks.... these are SO FAR BEYOND where VH has been in the last 28 years.... I am shocked that this kind of quality is what I'm getting. I mean, this is some really cool shit. Gimme a margarita, I'm gonna keep listening!!

[TAKIN WHISKEY]

Just listened to both tracks about 4 times each through headphones and I am truly speechless. The boys know what they've done and they have to be sooooo proud. I am just shaking my head in disbelief. I thought this album would be pretty good, but WOW. Do ya think tweedle dumb and tweedle dumber are reference to Spambo and MA?

[DLR'sCock]

God the solo in blood and fire...........holy shit........

[TAKIN WHISKEY]

God the solo in blood and fire...........holy shit........

I know, I know dude. I am completely blown away!

[TAKIN WHISKEY]

I really am at a loss for words.

[Yount]

ok i figured it out!!! but here's my first listen lyrics. Anything wrong?

You often wonder
You wanna know
How deep does a rabbit hole go?
I know, you never thought about it but
Ask yourself later
When you turn on your stereo does it return the favour?
I gotta know

That’s the trouble with never
Sure seems like a mighty long time
That’s the trouble with never
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
Hello!

Every Einstein’s a sign
A tweedledumb and tweedledumber
Ain’t no fool could see
Never even wonder
Yeah, we could come together
I will call for you, hey
Heaven’s good for me
How’s never sound to you?
1800-tell me babe

Chorus

Level with me baby, talk to me

This could damage your reputation
My wicked, wicked ways
But maybe that’s just as well
Since you put it that way
Delusions of eloquence
You never can say
You wanna play, the game?
You can’t quit when you can’t play
Mistakes make people, isn’t that what people say?
Let’s not plan the moment
Dance the night away
Selective amnesia is only a heartbeat away

Ask him a question
Concerning time
Suppose you wait forever and then you
Change your mind

Chorus

When was it? When was it? Tax me baby!
When baby?
When was the last time?
Tell me!

(Now that Ed solo Alex drums just like Humans being!!)

[BumBahDeeDah]

This is so great.....the next twelve days are gonna fuckin DRAG!!

[Roth & Roll]

Anyone who says that VH sorely misses MA's harmonies really needs to give this one a listen - very eclectic tune. Kick ass!

[ZahZoo]

I really am at a loss for words.

I really have to ask myself... every new piece just gets better and better... WTF if we still haven't heard the best on the new album yet..?

I've got to pace myself... this shit is wild...

HA! Nice reference to Fred Sanford, there. The thing that's impressed me most is how different every song has been - eclectic is the best description I can come up with.
So far, it definitely sounds like they went far beyond the musical limits of anything they did with the original 6 pack yet it still maintains that undeniable VH sound.

I haven't been this stoked to hear a new album since I was a teenager.

All, I am going to remove this link from here...

THE Roth Army is not going to jeopardize our relationship with Diamond Dave Enterprises by linking to illegally downloaded Van Halen songs....

I hope you can understand that.....

So please, do not link to that site on here again....

You want to go to there on your own, go right ahead.....

Thanks....

[ZahZoo]

I've got to wonder if Interscope realizes they are missing some significant revenue at the moment by making Blood & Fire and The Trouble with Never available in the UK only..?

Maybe it's a nice gesture to the folks over there who've been VH starved for years... but then you've got the rest of the VH fan world going crazy... using proxies, etc to buy it somewhat illegally. Plus add to that the fools at vhradio who have the songs up unprotected from piracy and illegal downloads.

I look at all that and all I can say... bad move guys & gals... Release this stuff globally at the same time and watch your bank accounts fill up to their maximum potential.

You've created buzz and momentum... now put your business hats back on.

[Zing!]

I was thinking the same thing. In the age of black lights and 8 tracks this strategy made sense. Now things have to be released globally - or else. Interscope seems to have dropped the ball on this one. 90 second sneak previews of tunes is one thing - but making the entire track available only to certain markets just begs to be ripped off. Oh well, guess Dave can't be everywhere at once telling every record label suit and intern how to do their job...

I thought that yesterday, was going to say something, but knew the mods here would do the right thing.

Same reason I am not listening to the full versions of these two newly dropped songs.

I can wait to sent the money where it should be..This is also why I never purchased the six pak after Dave left. I figured the money wasn't going in his pocket. I will however if they reissue the 6pak buy the fucking shit out of it.

I have no real issue with dowload sharing it just isn't where I go with available merch.


Ethics are wierd and must be figured first in business..why I will never be a succsess..lol.

[gbranton]

If it's out there and I can listen to it without breaking the law then I am going to do it. BUT I will be at the store to buy the new album the day it comes out, no matter what. I love Van Halen and I want them to have my money in exchange for the work they have done and the shows I see. I feel like they have earned every penny of it. I want to see them succeed in conquering the world AGAIN.

Sounds like a tribute to Hendrix. Love it

[DRD]

I do hear a little Hendrix. Fire or Crosstown Traffic sorta thing as it starts off with the Guitar, Bass and drums grooving together.

Still trying to wrap my muppet brain around why they chose Tattoo over The Trouble With Never as the first single? This so is so Van Halen it makes me want to throw a block party and invite all the neighbors that I normally can't stand on a marching band parade to the liquor store.

this song just plain kicks ass

The thing I love about Dave's lyrics are that every time you listen to them you find another 'oh yeah... now I get it' moment.
After reading the NY Times review in the 3/28 MSG thread it got me thinking... do you think Dave took a shot at the brothers with the line “Every Einstein’s assigned a Tweedle-Dumb and Tweedle-Dumber...”?
Fucking awesome!

[Zing!]

After reading the NY Times review in the 3/28 MSG thread it got me thinking... do you think Dave took a shot at the brothers with the line "Every Einstein's assigned a Tweedle-Dumb and Tweedle-Dumber..."

I thought the same thing when I heard that line. Not sure Dave would be so obvious with that reference, but then again, he did get away with "Can't Get This Stuff No More," which seems blatantly obvious. One interesting thing I came across concerning 'The Trouble With Never' lyrics was this reference in Dave's book. In the chapter WARS AND REMEMBERANCE, page 235 of the hardcover version, we get this:

"I said, "Okay, since there's so many breaks in time, so many times when there's no answered phone calls, I'll make another video, I'll wait until everybody does arrive back in Hollywood, to make the new album." And I started to create 'Just A Gigolo.' Came time to release the video and I ran into a routine that a lot of drinkers practice. I call it "selective amnesia." Selective amnesia is where you select what you're going to forget. So here's Ed, crying at his baby grand piano in his little studio, 5150: "But you didn't tell me that you were going to release 'California Girls."

"Well, yeah, I did, Ed. Why else would I spend that much money and recruit that much stellar talent?"

"Yeah, but I don't remember..." This is on the heels of easily a half a dozen private projects of his own.

I did not want to be guilty of any kind of subterfuge. I was always the protector of that band, so I made sure - goddamn sure - that everybody knew. And I also knew that memories were short when diluted, so I had repeated my plan, again and again. Nevertheless, when I released 'California Girls/Just a Gigolo' on New Year's of 1985, the cry was, "Oh, my God, we didn't know about it. We don't remember you telling us about this."

All of this transpired in an interim. A MAJOR interim. But I figured, sooner or later this circus was going to reconvene.

[fletch]

you just never know...

[SunisinuS]

Ok my first tune from VH off this album that makes it into the inner sanctum.

Because of this:



This did it...close your eyes.....damage your rep....this is the Mighty VH.

Right up there with "In a Simple Rhyme".(---Period.

[Yount]

How's never sound to you? :rolleyes:

[Angel]

do you think Dave took a shot at the brothers with the line “Every Einstein’s assigned a Tweedle-Dumb and Tweedle-Dumber...”?
Fucking awesome!

I've thought that since the first time I heard it! Didn't someone at DDLR used to refer to them as that? Not sure if they'd be bright enough to catch it...and he could always explain it as Ed being the Einstein, and Mike and Sam being Dumb and dumber.

[Angel]

How's never sound to you? :rolleyes:

Why the :rolleyes: ?

[Yount]

All they want is Jimmy baby, love it when he rolls his eyes. :rolleyes:

[Angel]

What the fuck have you been smoking tonight? :rolleyes:

[Yount]

Dave has made a career out of rolling his eyes, so to speak. You understand, Angel???
