    Current state of Van Halen revealed!

    OK...so the title and description were hyped up bullshit.

    Ed is currently working on.......(drum roll please!)

    FIXING A DRUM KIT!!!!!

    Ed apparently stopped in to a Grainger store in Burbank to pick up a clamp for a drum kit! Here's a picture of him with some lowlife retail hardware store manager!



    So there you have it!!!

    If anybody gives a rats ass about this, you can find it at the VH News Desk.

    Now we can finally close all of the "What's Van Halen's Next Move?" threads (and all similar threads)

    We can all breathe a collective sigh of relief, now that we know the state of things!

    Arguably the funniest thing I can ever imagine myself seeing is Eddie Van Halen playing the drum track for Hot For Teacher and Al playing Eruption...

    Eddie looks great. And he is buying something for the drums at his home studio while they are recording some new music? Please? Thank you.

    So someone is a lowlife because they work in retail? How many poor fucks lost their 'real' jobs and had to take a lower paying job to support themselves or their families?
    I work in a warehouse, so what does that make me?
    Van Halen has always struck me as a people's band, the kind of music that gets the working class through their day.
    This is a free country, and folks like myself have served so folks like yourself can voice their opinions freely, but that was fucked up knocking somebody just because they are in a lower tax bracket.

    To all taking offense at the "lowlife" comment....get the sand out of your vaginas and get a sense of humor.

    Like it or not, the retail service industry is chock full of 'em, and while the guy pictured above may NOT be one, I was painting with a broad brush.

    I'm sure the Grainger guy pictured above is a wonderful, kind human being dedicated to customer service.

    But if his face ever shows up on America's Most Wanted (or whatever similar type show you Aussies have, Markie) all of you over-sensitive bastards owe me an apology.

    Un-fucking-believable. A post about Eddie's whereabouts and goings on (the first CREDIBLE piece of information on the forums lately by the way), and people pick apart a meaningless offhand comment about a retail sales clerk in Burbank that nobody knows.

    All I can say is "wow"...

    Try to stay on topic, asshat.

    Hey Panamark...take the word "lowlife" out of my original post so ol' tojoro here can pontificate about the actual topic at hand with his glorious 29th post...

    We're waiting to see what insight you would have offered had you not felt compelled to come to the defense of the retail service industry.

    Please, continue....

    Yep, there's also plenty of lowlifes in the upper echelons of industry as well.
    Sorry, man...I don't mean to come off as a dickhole...just seemed like a cheap shot at folks who actually work for a living.

    Wow...now I do feel like an asshat for being the bigger man and apologizing...
    What does my post count have to do with anything? Just because you're over 2,000 posts makes you an overlord of some sort? Nice attitude...seems like you're the one with the sand in your vagina, pal.
    Not for nothing...you're really scraping when you have to find some random pic of Ed shopping at Grainger.
    Sorry to have gone off topic on your enlightening post, but what was there really to be on topic about?

    Apology accepted!

    You are really much too sensitive, friend. There's a thread on here somewhere about Valerie Bertinelli's new sitcom with Betty White...your sensibilities may be better suited for that topic.

    As for the pic being "random", I wouldn't say that something found on the Van Halen News Desk (Van Halen News Desk) is exactly "random."

    Many of the threads that show up here originate from there.

    What was there to be "on topic" about you ask? Perhaps you don't have enough time in here to notice, but the place is overrun with random speculation threads about the future of Van Halen, and what everyone thinks is going on. What's Ed doing? What's Dave doing? Is Mikey back in? Who's the next member of Van Halen to market a condiment? What's your "best guess"? etc... ad FUCKING infinitum...

    None of it has any basis in any kind of fact. I was simply providing actual, real information about the latest goings on in the world of Eddie. That was the topic....albeit somewhat tongue in cheek.

    But you're obviously not very keen on subtlety or sarcasm.

    Spot on, dude.

    Frying, you normally come across as a grate poster whit a good head on his shoulders, but that comment about the number of Tojoro's post was completely uncalled for.

    Thankfully, this forum has very little of the retardedness of the rest of the internet, but every now & again a post pops up about the member number/number of posts.

    Let me stress here once & for all, that that kind of behaviour, along with posting FRIST!!!11!! comments, l33tspeak, & a shitload of other retarded behaviour has contributed fiercely to hijack the internet from its original purpose of spreading free porn around the world & turn it into a cesspool of abhorrent stupidity that completely challenges any sane concept of evolution.

    I now address every single member of this forum.

    Please.

    Don't be a retard.

    Cheers! :bottle:

    Look, Dutch...
    I said I was sorry...you don't seem to be picking up on that, as you continued to be pretty much condescending to me just because I said you were out of line.
    Maybe I should of waited til after lunch to post. I work in a warehouse...along with that, I have to work with folks who look down their nose at me because of my position.
    I chose my own career path, and this isn't yours or anyone's problem.
    It's obvious I didn't set my sights too high in life, and that's tough shit for me, but it doesn't make me or folks in a position like mine any less of a human...just different.
    You're also being a little sensitive yourself.

    Imapus,
    You are correct, this place has very little of the foolishness I've seen on other boards, and that's refreshing...part of the reason I joined.
    I'm here to make friends, not enemies. I suppose I crapped on Dutch's post, and should have kept negative comments to myself.
    I'll leave it alone from here...sorry to cause a ruckus.

    Back to the point of the thread, what sort of clamp would you need on a drum kit that you couldn't find at a music store? OK, it's unlikely Ludwig makes anything that will allow you to clip on a coffee holder or ashtray next to the snare drum, but come on, isn't that what a second floor tom is used for, to rest your drinks and snacks on?

    Please don't keep your negative comments to yourself - if we all did that there would be no posts here at all.

    I think 13 thanks from just 33 posts means you must be doing just fine...

    Dude...I saw your apology...and I accepted it.

    Back at ya if you took my comment in my original post as some sort of "attack" on everyone who works in retail or the service industry.

    I also think the guy in the picture with Ed looks like Danny Bonaduce after he lost a battle with some black hair dye.

    But by no means should that be interpreted as me casting aspersions at all retail clerks or warehouse workers and saying that they all look like a steroid-riddled former child TV star.

    Sounds like you work with some assholes who disrespect you, and you saw a comment in my post that made you feel the same way those folks do. Obviously not my intent...I don't know you or your co-workers.

    All is well.

    Carry on....let's all talk about Ed and his drum kit clamp.

    Uncalled for....probably.

    Damaging and the worst possible thing that could have been said to someone on here? Not by a long shot.

    I was annoyed that someone as "new" as tojoro would step in to a thread that had the first "legitimate" piece of VH news in months (even if it was completely miniscule, retarded, and non-newsworthy) and completely derail it by taking offense to an offhand comment completely unrelated to the topic. He took a silly thread about Eddie buying a stupid clamp for a drum kit and turned it into a diatribe about freedom of speech, his military service, and the plight of the unemployed.

    Not that those aren't all worthwhile topics, mind you...but holy FUCK!!! A little deep for a thread about Eddie buying a clamp at a hardware store....dontcha think?

    He came in with a chip on his shoulder, looking to mix it up...and he got what he came for.

    Honestly, I would think that if you felt compelled to admonish anyone for their behavior, it would be those who throw threads off-topic so they can grind an axe about something they found "personally" offensive.

    Instead, you chose to admonish me for swinging back after I got jumped on over a meaningless comment. Look at the thread again and see who started stirring the shit. If, after you're done, you still think it was me...then so be it.

    I won't love you any less, Imapus....

    Anyway...tojo and I have patched things up and we're singing "Kumbaya." Care to join us for a verse?

    Again...all is well. Let's all have a drink at lunch.

    I bet we can call Grainger and find out what he bought. But I think its something that he wants to change and make it his own EVH brand drum division.

    Sorry, Dutch..I didn't come in with a chip on my shoulder, or to derail your thread, or jump you to the point you felt the need to swing back.

    For some reason, I have to log onto this site repeatedly to post a reply, and by the time I'm actually 'logged on', a couple of posts have gone by.
    I'm not someone who looks to stir up shit, or fuck with people for no reason.
    Like I said, it was wrong of me to crap on your thread...my problems aren't your problems.
    Just out of curiosity, exactly how long do I have to be a member, before I can 'mix it up' with a senior member?
    The comment wasn't unrelated to the topic, as you're the one who put it there yourself. As far as I'm concerned I was on topic.
    The Bonaduce comment is scarily accurate....

    Is it legitimate VH news or is it E-Taintment Poparatso News..?

    EDV took a dump today and my tits are hard.

    It is a pic of Ed that is for sure but is it news...?

    It is nice to see ED buddying up instead of being aloof and all movie starlike.

    Ed has always as far as I know been a personable guy so ....

    It is kinda Teen Beat or What's Hanna Montana wearing isn't it.

    It's not a update on what is going on ?

    Here let me save you the trouble ....Fukk Off thome.

    Ya know, you might be on to something there. Having cornered the market on doodads for the guitar and having moved on to the field of shoes, maybe Ed plans to now make his mark in the world of percussion.

    "Yeah, these guys at Grainger, they get it."

    Surely, the sky is the limit, and I can't wait until Ed decides to set his sights on the Mr. Coffee machine, thus causing a revolution in the world of drip coffee makers. That Dyson guy with his vaccuum cleaner featuring a ball had better stay sharp should EVH decide to further pursue things in the home appliance field.

    I can't sing kumbaya.

    And the reason I posted that semi-rant was only one: The remark about the number of posts.

    I couldn't care less if you were wiping the floor with Tojoro, or if it was the other way around. That's the beauty of this place. It's all for one & every man for himself.

    And nearly, if not all,regular posters here have proven again & again that they can fend for themselves, and there's only a "gang up" of any sorts when it's to chase away trolls and/or obviously mentally challenged newcomers.

    Really, my beef was with that only one comment, not with either one of you.

    I wouldn't like to see stuff like that spread around here. I bet I'm not the only one.

    Cheers! :bottle:

    There's something I've wondered about Ed...do you suppose he lays down rough drum tracks of his own to present to AL.
    Not to sound like a doof, where Al is his brother and drummer, but as Ed originally started on drums and may or may not be inspired by an idea in the middle of the night, do you think he has a small kit up at 5150 to bash out ideas on, or would it be a drum machine/ protools?

    None. Though if we're talking about webmasters & super moderators, it'd be wise to post here not in quantity, but quality enough that you're not regarded as a troll.

    I think it's safe to say that noone here would ban you just for being a wiseass/smartmouth/wisemouth/smartass/assmouth.

    I'm sure Ed has basic drum skills and his own internal meter adequate to prepare rough tracks so he can convey his ideas to others.

    True, there is a myriad of post/thread topics on this site but after all the common ground is,.. We are all more than just a little bit hungry for some music that we all know is "perhaps" a bar or two above what we can find on the shelves these days.

    To me it is just like politics, wake me up when China slams into the west coast.

    And who sais it was a drum part.? don't they sell electric motors and machine parts at Graingers..?

    True that, Dutch! Believe me, I've been a spectator at this site for at least four years. Folks here can be brutal, but incredibly hilarious as well.
    This is the one message board that has caused me to laugh out loud on several occasions.
    This is a good place, with good people...I'm glad I made the jump and finally joined.
    'Tis odd Ed would go to Grainger for some drum gear...but then, when he was a lad, he invented some pretty cool shit out of nothing. It would be cool to see that innovator return.

    He has a kit there, and used it to record the dismal tracks for that crummy porn film a few years back. You can see him pounding on it in a few brief shots in this clip. (I chose the short version to lessen the pain of watching this, as it's obvious that Ed wasn't exactly in the best state of mind at this time).
