Radio is so behind the times.....absolutely pathetic

[Hardrock69]

THe L.A. Times article was published what, a week ago?

My clock-radio went off this morning just in time to hear them play the news.

"Van Halen Tour In Jeapordy!...We'll have details in a moment!"

They went on to report that according to the L.A. Times, a top official at LiveNation said the tour was on shaky ground, and that in an interview with the L..A.Times, David Lee Roth had said the sisters might not even make it to the Hall Of Fame ceremony.


What lame motherfuckers!

I am gonna send those sad bastards an email and tell them what lazy, ignorant cocksuckers they have in their news department.

Sounds like their news is being transported via stagecoach or they don't have DSL ??

They are totally lame on radio. Just like all the other media in America. They don't do their damn job and we all suffer for it. They're more concerned about shit like Anna Nicole or Britney shaving her head than they are about real news. It's always interesting to watch the news on tv, and see one of the top stories is way too often some bullshit like Britney or Anna Nicole, and what follows that story is something really important. As for music coveage, forget the media, they'll fuck it up anyway.

Done.

Hope they choke.

Worthless bastards.


Their website is an amazing clutter of advertising for everything except music. And YES...there is a large link to the current Anna Nicole Bitch story.

Christ they are fucking full of shit!

There, Fat Woflie...the dog has left your lunch in the grass.

[ppg960]

What was their first clue???
It's been a bad state of affairs for years in the VH camp.

[fryingdutchman]

I've railed against the radio "industry" and DJ's in general in numerous threads 'round here.

This is just further proof that radio folks are the dregs of the entertainment industry.

Bottom of the barrel, for sure.

[fryingdutchman]

I can just hear it now...

Some idiot jock starts running his mouth over a song, watching the clock and trying desperately to hit his post...

"That's right, baby....word on the street is that the Van Halen tour is D.O.A. ...more details on the other side of this morning rock block of Hall & Oates..."

And inevitably, the jock sucks and ends up yapping over the first 3 or 4 words of whatever song comes on.

i was listening to krna 94.1 cedar rapids. iowa, today and they did a few classic vh songs , then the dj came on the air and said that the tour had been cancled because of funding for a tour.
i thought that sounded like bullshit since im kinda living here on the site every spare moment i can get away from my old lady these days,which isnt alot.

anyways i called in and spoke to the dj and suggested he come here to the army if he want to get some info that isnt bullshit heresay.

i didnt know it but he taped our conversation and aired it on the radio so i got a plug in for the army on the radio, hopefully some new people will log in.
oh and i did tell him that we throw rocks at vanhagar lovers, he started laughing.

And yet they keep coming back for more....

When the news first broke here in SanDiego on KGB 101.5 fm they were playing CVH around the clock and it seemed since this chaos happened theyve slowed way down.And what they keep insinuating that it not yet official that the tour been canceled.So go figure.They can't seemed to help the mass confusions either.I think the fan forum is far more advance then the radios industry as far as getting a legit sources out.

[HOGLEG]

I love Sammy Hagar. Also, I just threw away my 19th beer can of the night.

[Oxford]

Good for you have some Hagar fondue with some breadsticks youre be hungry later.

[HOGLEG]

Breadsticks do not come until after the weed.

[HOGLEG]

Oxford, it is called sarcasm.

[diamondsgirl]

The radio news here just said "Al Qaeda was planning a reunion but since the original bassplayer wasn't coming back they decided to cancel ...oh no wait...thats Van Halen"

[Rothaholic]

We won't really know wtf is going on until the fat lady sings...

So, where the fuck are you, Sammy?! Sing already!

[jharp84]

If there was no radio!!! I would never masturbate!!!

[POJO_Risin]

Who's more behind the news,

the radio...who was a week?

or the people that believed that this was going to happen...

who seem to be behind 22 years...

[fe_lung]

Blame has to start with the professional fluffer that VH hired for publicity. If they'd handled publicity correctly the VH reunion buzz would be huge and would be covered in all the outlets. Instead, people were talking about the genisis reunion more than VH.

Look at the difference between VH and The Police.

The Police:
Rumors swirl about a reunion for a couple of weeks.
Then they issue a statement "We're gonna do something, but we're not sure what."
A couple of weeks later they announce the grammy performance.
After a couple more weeks they announce that they'll follow the grammys with a special club show and announcement.
They play the grammys - everyone cums in their pants
The nexy day they announce a full fleged tour with sponsorship, dates booked, and a shiny new website from which they can disseminate furhter info.
The tour keeps growing with more shows added daily.

Compare to VH
Rumors swirl of a reunion for months
band says and does nothing
Band announced as Hall of Fame inductees
band says and does nothing
rumors continue to spread
band says and does nothing
website goes dead for weeks
band says and does nothing
website come back on with 3 paragraph announcement of reunion and "coming tour"
band says and does nothing.
no further website updates.
band finally releases 1inch by 1 inch photo via rolling stone magazine (which is buried in the middle of the magazine)
No further comment from band. No link to picture, no info
Rumors swirl about breakup and tour cancellation
band says and does nothing
website doesn't change
tour "onofficially" officially posponed
no comment from band....

and here we are. I sure hope Ed's girl gives good head cause she sucks at her day job.

Dam Pojo youre a master poet man you absolutely so clear and pricise.Hope to come a tiny fraction to your expressive skills down the road.You say it how it is man you cut right through the truth whether it is going to be pretty or ugly.Beautiful gift man lol.

[Terry]

Shit, I heard one of the local djs THIS morning say "yes, it's true, Van Halen have officially postponed their summer tour", like it was a fucking news flash or some such shit.

[ELVIS]

Ummm...

Don't forget, we're Van Halen internet junkies...

We're the loser freaks, not the DJ's...


LMAO!
