I want a new Van Halen Album!

[Rikk]

I'm just giving WARF a hard time too. I admire his excitement. I don't have that kind of excitement for today's Van Halen anymore. But I guess I'm excited enough to finally see Dave and Ed onstage together.

But Edward Van Halen is a fucking piece of shit.

[conmee]

It's just not the Mighty Van Halen, the Pasadena Express for me without MA. And as a few folks like Lounge have pointed out, let's see if this trainwreck makes it past the first show intact.

I'm not trying to talk anyone out of going to see it, but don't drink the Kool-Aid and start spinning it as it was such a good idea to dump MA, we won't miss the backing vocals cuz they'll just pipe them in via iPod, that they'll out-gross Kiss '96, and that a 15-year old with 3 months of bass under his belt never having played in front of a real audience, with pressure on, glare of the lights, gotta hit the right notes, alot of pressure as someone mentioned (was that Lounge too?).

Anyhow, if you want to see it, go see it. But don't bullshit yourselves or the DLR faithful on this site who have held out for 20+ years to see a REUNION. That shit just doesn't fly. Hell, even go with the whole Page/Plant motif if that makes you feel good about your decision to part with hard earned cash to see the show.

Carry on.

Well said. The "Teen Wolf" version of this band isn't what I've been waiting to see.

[Atomic Dyver]

Maybe they should do what Iommi and Geezer are doing and call it something else. A legend should be treated like a legend. For 20 years we've sat on the sidelines and watched the jv team dismantle a legend.....and now we're handed a cookie and asked for loyalty....

I'm sick of the nostalgia tours!

There hasn't been a studio Van Halen album in 9 years.

And it's been 23 years since REAL Van Halen album was released.

Does anyone think this tour should happen with a full studio album, and MTV video single???

on all points.

If Ed doesn't feel the need to record a new album after a 22 year wait; or the need to release a new album after screwing the public with VDIII; then I don't feel the need to give him a penny of my money either. Sure, I'd like to see them live, but I'll just wait for the release on You Tube.

That Gollum/EVH pic is priceless, R&R.

It does look like him; doesn't it? Thanks.

Of course this should all be kicked off with a new album.

These guys have PLENTY of time on their hands. None of their careers are at warp speed anymore.

Fuck, just go in there for even a month, let it rip and put it out. They don't need to collaborate with Desmond Childs or have Bob Rock and some corporate therapy guru produce some two year recording process.

I'm sure if Dave sat down and went through the hundreds of hours of material Ed has, or even just sorted through the tunes that comprise the three to ten albums Ed proclaims are in the can, I'm sure he could find ten things that were worth putting vocals on.

When does the tour start? April? RnRHoF is in a month? That gives them two months, maybe even longer if it doesn't kick off until the summer. They don't need to spend 6 months rehearsing CVH stuff.

Well, maybe Ed does...

[hideyoursheep]

Ed has way too many demons to exorcise before this can be a success.

Personal issues,addictions ,grudges.Dude better wake up!

Needs to start riding to AA with Linsay Lohan like RIGHT NOW.

A new full length album is what I've been waiting for for 23 years now. That to me is more important than the tour. New music first, then a tour would be icing on the cake. But I have given up all hope for new music. I guess I'll have to settle for whatever Ed wants to do. It's just a shame how he has treated his fans all these years.

WARF,

He helps those who help themselves, and there's no "Thy will be done" without Judas... every hero needs to be sold down the river, so MA is a necessity... glad you still have faith... that and booze are excellent defenses against the inevitable meaninglessness of life.

Wow! Talk about my nihilist tendencies. lol

I sure as hell hope you haven't been waiting around 23 years to see DLR take the stage in the company of a neckbrace, half a tongue, and a 15 year old. I'd have to say your faith wasn't very well rewarded.

Look, you want to show your faith? Abraham, Jonah, Job type faith? Then DON'T support this abomination. This is the whore of Babylon of tours. Get on your knees and pray for MA reconciliation.

Reconciliation is always better... imagine how different the world would be if God gave Satan a second chance/parole/time off for good behavior... lol

Peace be with you, carry on.

I've taken alot of shots here, in my supposed fairy tale myth of Christianity.

But there is no point to life without faith...

Christianity is not a fairy tale.

WARF's not saying it is...
