    Does this Generation know it was Dave's Band?

    I get this feeling that todays culture forgot that Dave was the leader and the main reason for getting into vh, despite ed's awesome guitar riffs. dave was the heart and soul of vh. it was daves band, everyone at that time knew it.for some reason i feel people forgot this!!

    This generation and future to come were born after Classic VH so if radio stations and music store just announce any CD by the band as Van Halen, who knows if the future generation will know who sang what without doing their research.

    ...wrong.

    the media makes the emo thing seem big. in truth not too many people like bands like fall out boy or panic! at the disco. people that do are more often than not girls. most "emo" guys you see probably listen to heavier metal than anyone

    no this generation has no idea who david lee roth is or vanhalen with or without dave.

    they have had rap and bubblegum pop shoved down thier throats by mtv and BET.

    the rock stations play music from bands like the red hot chili peppers,saliva, crede, and every other shit whiner band you can name, over and over.

    i cant tell you how many times ive switched to 3 or 4 different stations here and the chili peppers are on all of em.

    i cant tell you one band or 1 song from any of them that i truly like or am happy to hear playing.

    i can remember walking down a street here in my town that has several bars in a row and every one of them had limp biscuits i did it for the nookie playing all day long. im so glad that band is over.

    music today sucks dirty ball sacks, its boring and has absolutely no meaning, these fuckers couldnt tell a story if thier lives depended on it. mediocre at best.

    when i ask kids close to my family or just anyone if they ever listen to vanhalen, they are like HUH? i say yeah vanhalen, they are clueless.
    i dont understand it.

    ive said this before and i mean it, kids today suck, they are worthless and weak no ambition or sense of adventure. maybe im just and old fuddy duddy. but GODDAMNIT i know what good music sounds like.


    ok ill take that back they aint worthless.

    You've never lived where I have, have you? Sorry but I know for a fact a lot of so-called metal people called emos do listen to a load of crap. I mean take My Chemical Romance headling Download this year! As for heavier metal, it may be heavier but it's just noise not music. I listen to heavier and better metal than all the emos put together and the difference is, I know Brave New World was not Iron Maiden's first album! That is just an example of their mentality. *^_^* lml

    The new generation doesn't even know who Van Halen was because they peed their legacy down the toilet like cheap beer.

    CVH is the only version of the band on radio today...to many young people, it's the only VH they have ever heard...Lucky them!

    Welcome to the Army. Good thing you put the "H" in your name or we might mistake you for all the other Jesus Christ's out there...

    If there's anthing good I can say about today's radio is that the only VH I here on air is CVH. A local radio station here runs a bumper every time VH is on deck.

    It says... "Got Roth? It ain't Van Halen if it ain't got David Lee Roth!"
    Trolls take heed...LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!!

    Kids these days the twenty somethings and under don't know what good music is, our fathers said the same thing but that was before rock&roll, so i think there are two generations that had a oportunity
    to be raised on rock&roll.

    My generation de finately was there for the best of it.

    Music hit me about when i was 10 1970 so i was hearing 1970 back to 1956 music on the radio off and on.

    1973 was when i knew this was more than just some new sensation,to me.

    I have been to the edge with R&R and to this,Salome bangs her drum.

    I really think 2% of Rap i fenominal 98% is the same 2% tunes done over by other angry frosty freezeis icie chilli fools with a mic and a half assed paragraph of words.

    The 80s music was just like the lights in your eyes Punk was slammin

    Then there was the kinder gentler stuff mixed in and it all went to shit
    about the time Cry Babystarted pokeing fun at the rockstar he was
    thinking it was the others that were selfish.

    So in retrospect you kids really were not DOWN you were Off center.

    That's cool So be it poor lil chillins'have no idea at all what they are missing.

    I bet all kids know who Roth is from a pic -5 BUCKS- i bet kids 20 and under couldn't tell a Spam from a Diamond tune.5 Bucks!

    Ps there was some good music.I am sure they didn't get to hear it unless they were at a -buds -house. Cause, it shure wasn't getting air time.Older bro layin down some Roth may have opened thier eyes to the Roth /Hagar differences.

    Just think of the poor jr that had a older brother who was a spammie fan.......*shudder*..................*weeping* ..............................................Poor lil tike d'nn stand a chance....*sob*

    I was initially attracted by Edward and I kinda thought of Van Halen as his band. Many of my friends at the time thought the same way...

    some of the people who i work w/ who are freshmen in college haven't the slightest idea of who VH is/was/are.
    Of course the majority of them use their ipods and don't know exactly who is playing what song either.

    Well, lemme tell you about the situation outside the US. Here, in Russia there also not many young people who know what was Van Halen. For example: there is a russian site vkontakte.ru (like an american facebook.com), which was created for communication between students, and there are around 600.000 members on it. And only 150 people wrote in music preferences "Van Halen". And among these 150 about a half are Spammy fans. It's all very pity.

    CVH was a team deal... it was stupid bullshit thinking just as you speculate that led to Dave making the biggest dumbass decision of his life.

    You don't walk away from the game at half-time in the Super Bowl when you are on the winning team!!

    History has clearly demonstrated that neither DLR nor VH were the force to be reconned with... without each other.

    Never really thought of VH being Dave's band. CVH will always be centered around Ed's guitar playing and Dave's showmanship.

    At least someone else besides me has the brains and the balls to lay the blame on Roth for walking out on the greatest rock band in the world at the height of their popularity...

    That in turn is the reason their legacy doesn't have the impact or staying power it should...

    Oh well...

    I have teenage daughters and they know classic VH, obviously because of me. I ask their friends if they know who Van Halen is and some do and some don't, but I can tell you this. The ones who do know, always refer to a CVH songs. Jump, Hot For Teacher, Running With The Devil, Dance the Night Away, Beautiful Girls etc.. The other day, I'm in the car with my 13yr old, and a Van Hagar song comes on, which I have never exposed her ears to. She can name almost any big name band right away. So I throw her this ugly curve ball, thinking she might recognize Ed's guitar. Nope, she says I don't know. I tell her it is Van Halen with Fat Sam. She says, no joking aside, she says, did they bring in a girl to write their lyrics for them. HA HA

    Your daughter is very keen and smart!!
    At her age, girls love going to card shops - so she knows a Hallmark/Spamella Lyric from a Roth/In your face & Rockin' Lyric...
    Kudos to her for being educated properly.

    Most of the boys from this generation know who VH is/was. The rocker chicks know, too.

    And just saying, "Mama" by MCR is a pretty cool song.
