He has, in essence, been retired for nearly 20 years already. Least in terms of coming up with new music.Quote:

Since Balance came out in...what...1994 or so, we've gotten 5 new tracks for 2 different greatest hits albums, a full length album with Cherone, and a full length album with Roth of which half the tunes were re-recorded/reworked old demos. That output represents nearly a quarter century of his career. Oh, yeah...I forgot the instrumental and the Van Hagar song he recorded for the Twister soundtrack and his work on that porn flick 11 years back. Sorry. Don't want to undersell Ed's prolific output.
I think it's clear Wolfgang was making a flippant remark. Even so, does it even matter if Ed retires?
No chatbox anymore? Cheap fuckers.

What happened with ADKOT has me wondering why they claimed to not have enough original material at the ready when working on Diver Down and were forced to lace the platter with cover tunes. There are numerous original riffs and melodies from the club days that didn't get touched when this last CD was made. They must have really had a low opinion of the remainder of their work. I also think retooling their originals in '82 would have been less work than researching, learning, then putting their own personal stamp on a fist full of covers. I can think of at least 10 club days original songs that I wished got the Where Were You Last Nite? to Hang'em High treatment.Quote:

Gotcha. People have to ruin everything. Was always handy to pop in and BS occasionally.Quote:

That's Donnie's fault...too!Quote:

I never figured Vandy to be a bacon pounder... This new age of gender openess leaves nothing off the table... Go figure.
Man some of the women I've been knocked back off a bacon pounder is a compliment :)
A nice box set featuring previously unreleased live material like Oakland 1981 would be great. But that would detract all of Ed's time from a third or fourth remaster of studio albums.Quote:

Yeah, some previously officially unavailable CVH-related live material being officially released WOULD be pretty cool.Quote:

More likely is a few token extra tracks thrown in on an overpriced, mixed-era greatest hits release. I mean, I've heard the various remasters, and none of them were really an improvement to my ears over my original cd purchases...but, sometimes your original purchases get scratched/shit the bed/whatever, and you end up replacing them with a remaster because nothing else is in the stores anymore. Short of replacing a CVH cd for functionality reasons, I'm done repurchasing the CVH albums: between vinyl to cassette to cd, I've bought each of those 6 albums at least 3 times.
As suckers who invested in VH aLl these years we should be allowed to tour 5150 studio for free lol... on behalf of evh thanks for everything....now let evh rest in piece enjoying the view of the pacific ocean from his Malibu beach house...RNR! Nota Bene: always interesting to read you Terry.Quote:

The reality of it is I've extracted a lot of...I dunno...what do I call it...just the pure pleasure of listening to those first 6 Van Halen albums for roughly 3 & 1/2 decades now. And I'm thankful that band got together and did what they did. Far as a free tour of the 5150 studio, not interested. I don't even particularly want to meet the guy. Last I heard, he still puts his pants on one leg at a time, just like anyone else.
Now, full access to his gear and his archives and the ability to abscond with whatever I may want to take, THAT is another story.
I used to until ADKOT and those tours. Obviously it would have been better if Ed and Dave had both been good at the same time but whatever.Quote:

I should have known! Hey Double Z. Hope all is well.Quote:
