Thanks for posting that video, it's the coolest thing I've seen in a while. After a decade of false starts and disappointments I've been trying to temper my enthusiasm but after watching that I think it's hopeless. Dave looks great, like he's ready to rule the world again.

My "Hide Your Sheep" tour t gave up the ghost about 5-6 years ago. I've seen them on ebay, but you would not believe the asking price. No doubt, it will double in the coming weeks. Seriously, people are asking for 150 American (starting price) for the damned thing, and you have no way of knowing if it's the real McCoy.
No doubt. Here, take a look at the shirt I'm speaking of. Don't these things appear to be in remarkable shape for being almost THIRTY YEARS OLD? EbayLINK

I've got both those, plus a 1982 tour shirt all in pretty good shape. Unfortunately there is one small problem......... I cut the sleeves out of them because they didn't fit me anymore. Back in those days if my memory serves S-M-L was about all you could find at the shows and now I'm an XXL, so they are now muscle shirts.
I've bought a couple of the re-issues but it isn't the same without the hammer guy on the back. If they brought back hammer guy shirts I'd be buying one right now instead of typing this.

Fantastic. Did he actually shoot himself in the foot ...! You couldn't make it up. LMFAO.

Followed these fuckers since 1982 (I was 10), doing flying eddies around the house (and hiding my tapes so my dad didn't smash them)...
...suffered through not one but two Hagar eras with nothing but Dave's solo shit to pull me through...
...ignored the stutter step that was Gary Cherone... (I can't believe that fucking happened...)...
...cheered as I watched the VMAs, then cried as the whole reunion fell apart...
...basked in the glory of the last tour as Dave came screaming into the place and brought the REAL Van Halen back to life...
...smiled as I watched all the new fans rocking out at work (I fucking TOLD you so)...
...and prayed for some new shit and not another greatest hits cash grab, to make this all legit...
FUCKING A.
Time to pour a cold one (or seven) and enjoy the greatness that is CVH...we fucking earned it.
Fasten your fucking seat belts.

OK, So I finally got to watch Dave's amazing video. I love the vocaleze beat he's got going as his dance track. He looks great with that beard. I love hearing him tinker with the acoustic guitar. I love the shots in the park with the dog. I hate helicopters. Dave, please stay the fuck away from helicopter!
Damn things is gettin' good!

Naturally, this took place in Florida, and it just keeps getting better. Not only did he shoot himself in the foot, he was suspended for 5 days and then he tried to sue the government because his mistake was made public, thus damaging his career as an undercover agent.

I'm a Kentucky Wildcats basketball fan and have been since I was about 7 years old. And I compare the VMA fiasco the same as I would to the 1992 Regional Finals game against Duke where Leattner hits that shot after UK went up 1 with 2 secs left. ---you know where they blast that at me year after year on CBS
It was that same joy and utter dagger death that was devistating as a fan.
Maybe VH in their 50s ends up being cooler than they all were in the 40s? Sure as shit won't ever be as cool as their 20s!

VA, you just blew my fucking mind.

I saw Henry Rollins live back when he turned 40. He did a good bit about how men, for the most part, attain their ultimate cool in their 50's and pretty much wrote off the 40's as a doomed decade in a man's life. So far, I'm in agreement. 40 felt like an accomplishment. 42 feels like blehhhcchhcchh.

My dash of self deprication can be summed up in this question: Why has it taken me 42 years to turn 21? When I was in college, I felt like a 12 year old because so many around me that were the same age, to me, seemed worldly and hip beyond their years. I felt like I was just a couple years removed from actually playing with Star Wars toys ffs.
OK, back to the topic. Dave is one hip 50 something.
Yes and i catch your drift. As was pointed out these things shrank like hell back in the day so the only chance you had was to put it up in the closet right after the show and NEVER wash or wear it. I damn sure didn't have the foresight to do it and i doubt most of these sellers did either. That was why i was glad Dave put out those EEAS remake shirts back around the Diamond Dave record. I think i bought 3 or 4 of them and i put one away to save. That is what was so cool about the CVH 1984 shirts they put out for the 2007 tour. I would give anything for a vintage one with hammer guy on the back though. I see they have the remade 82 shirts out now with the lion on them. I need to pick one of those up as well. I often wondered why when the EEAS shirts got remade, they didn't put the band photo on the back. Then i figured out they would probably have to pay Steve, Billy and Greg if they did that but i would still be curious to know for sure.
Dave is a dazzler...He looks like he's Italian with that goutee. I had a nickname called Wha once. I want to lick his guitar strings till my toungue bleeds.

I have a vintage 82 shirt with the lion on the back. Thing is, a) it has been machine washed so many times it is now less than size small. b) It has no sleeves.
I oughta donate it to someone's kid...as it won't fit an adult anymore, lol.

Well, I will say this. I never had any direct communication with Brett until a month ago.
He sent me a very kind message when my Dad passed away.
Sure there may be a buncha cheeseheads at the links. But Brett is ok in my book.
That one act tells me all I need to know.
Just my 2 cents.
Now back to the discussion!
Was at my Mom's house tonight. Wanted to watch the video. Only problem? I had set the fucking default Windows font size to 120 dpi so my Mom could read stuff easier on the computer.
The fucking onboard audio program will not work unless it is at the normal size of 96dpi....and I cannot change it back unless I have the original Windows install disc....which is here at MY fucking house.....so I turned on the video for a few seconds, and had no sound. I was fucking pissed. I had to leave anyway to catch a ride back home (my car is out of order for the next few days).
So I will have to wait for another few days so I can bring the original install disc to my Mom's, so I can change the fucking font so the goddamn sound software will fucking work....THEN I can watch the video in all it's glory.....

Now if the video was on youtube, I could download it. It might take a couple of hours, but at least I could watch the thing sooner, lol. Damn dialup tin-can-and-string fucking bullshit!
Very cool Chapter 1 of the 2012 DLR Video Scrapbook --- can't wait to see more chapters soon.
I suppose Dave will be screamin' to the VH sisters after every gig on the world tour ----- " GET TO DA CHOPPA !! "

Thank you! Dave is my hero forever! Love the dog. I was planning on getting a border collie this spring but might have to rethink the breed. Thanks for making my year (still one more day to top this, can't imagine how).
