guilty posting. The threads and activity is so important now !
I am sitting here with my jaw dropping. Hard to know where
to jump back in.
Many thanks to all who said "welcome" in the other thread too.
Great to see whats happening with Dave, VH and this mighty forum.
Looking forward to WARF's adventure and everyone else here.
Our time has finally come !!! Its fucking great !!
Welcome back, Marky!
Congratz WARF.Pressures on now for a blow by blow review
I really love you baby, I love what you've got
Let's get together we can, Get hot
Swear to God, was just going to type Joe Thunder was going to MC the event, LMAO
DAMN, about 14 hrs from now you get best VH experience in History! Need sleep but this excitement is too painful for stillness.
That my friends, is the classiest post I've ever had the pleasure of reading here!
WARF, have the time of your life! We all know that MAX, Al, Bg and all those gone but never to be forgotten Army Soldiers will be sittin on your shoulders and smilin from ear to ear with you tonight!
Congrats to one of my long time fellow EUAS brothers.
Bottoms Up, WARF!

Hey....He Is 5'2 Naked.

Don't notice most of my posts are less than 2 lines...

How cool is this... Both of the oldest internet fan sites get a nod to have a member attend an exclusive event like this. Unprecedented... fucking Unprecedented...
Am I still on the same planet that I was on last week..? Really..?
"If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”
Dave definitely has an affinity for the place. I remember thinking when his radio show started, how long would it be before he brings it to topic. A week? A month? I believe it was like the second minute of the second show. Unfortunately, it came off as a telling sign that there wasn't much of a game plan to the format. Spontaneousness works. Aimlessness doesn't. In any case, I'm glad things worked out as they did. The man is too big for yap radio.
The interviews will be making a comeback soon....

I don't want to rain on everyone's glee parade for WARF, 'cause it WILL be an unreal experience, but I was told overnight in a PM that this is a PRESS event, not a concert, per se.....
WARF is going there in a REPORTER/BLOGGER capacity representing the Army....
So as much as he'd like to, he won't be able to be chugging brews and wave his Bic lighter around....
I've had to do this in a sports capacity last year a few times going to Penguins games in Pittsburgh in the press box.... It ain't easy at first, because you are NOT a fan that night....
I'm fairly confident that he'll have a good time anyway....
I'd offer to give blow by blow updates of Cafe Wha tonight, but they'll be slightly less interesting than WARF's as I'll just be loitering around outside:
8:00PM: It's freezing outside
8:05PM: Just took a pee in an alleyway
8:10PM: Hey was that Seinfeld in that taxi?
8:17PM: Still freezing
8:25PM: Grabbing a slice of pizza
8:35PM: Looks like they're gonna let some fans in! Oh wait. Nevermind ...
8:44PM: Still freezing
8:55PM: Occupy Wall Streeters hanging around
9:00PM: Show must be over. People are coming out.
9:10PM: On the subway home
I just think it's gonna be 8 or 9 oldies and "Tattoo"..... And that'll be it....
Being a "Press Event" sounds even better... I'd be expecting some great one-liners from Dave and more open banter than a rehearsed concert scenario.
What a night and day difference this Interscope signing has made!! Surreal hardly describes this...
I am glad you said that this is designed to be a fun time, but most of the invited are producers, press and other executives, from tour sponsers, etc... and such .I don't want to rain on everyone's glee parade for WARF, 'cause it WILL be an unreal experience, but I was told overnight in a PM that this is a PRESS event, not a concert, per se.....

I am not saying a subdued atmosphere, but think business =WARF= as you try not to hit on the wrong guys girl. I am sure there will be a few not so sensible shoe wearing ladies there..lol.
As for the rest of us here at The RA we really should show the love for brother =WARF= by contacting the local NYC Bail Bondsman and setting aside a couple hundred dollars in fast cash..lol
Rock and Roll WARF!

Boston morning radio show "Karlson and Mackenzie" just announced that Van Halen is playing the Boston Garden on 3/11.
Tickets go on sale 1/14 and they said they will have some you can win...They tweeted it also!!
Dumb question, but any possibility that this will be a filmed event which will then be shared with the public online?I don't want to rain on everyone's glee parade for WARF, 'cause it WILL be an unreal experience, but I was told overnight in a PM that this is a PRESS event, not a concert, per se.....

I agree.
I do hope they play the new song. Wouldn't be much for the press if it was just all oldies, now would it?
You know what's nearly as cool as this actually happening , is that every one is so positive and generous about it and fucking hyper ..... I know I don't post as much as others and I kinda just watch from the side lines but I can feel the buzz at the moment and it's a beautiful thing. .....
Roth on brothers and sisters ...
fuck your fucking framing
Congrats, WARF! This is truly awesome!
I'm not really that excited yet for some reason. I guess maybe I will be after we see some real dates.
Glad you are though. Keep posting dude. You'll be at 3000 before ya know it.
VHND just posted a link to a 360 degree view of the inside of Cafe Wha?....
Pretty cool...click the linky below

I think I might stroll around these images around 8pm tonite just to feel like I'm there. The place looks like a real fucking firetrap...hope they don't pull a "Great White"...

That's always been available....
HOLY FUCK!!!! I think I peed a little when I read that, fucking hilarious!!! WARF, I'm so happy for you baby!!! I can't think of anyone more deserving. I'm sure if we polled all members new and old of both here and DDLR.com, you would come out as the number one all time favourite!!! Just remember, you IMMEDIATELY report...THEN go get hammered! LOVE YA, WARFY BABY!!!!!Outstanding.....just when we got in the good graces of Dave's people we unleash WARF on 'em!
Do you think we'll all be banned from the entire tour or just the Mods and WARF
Seriously, that is just amazing news and I'm thrilled that a true CVH fan gets to go!

Many a time you've brought tears to my eyes...always through laughter. Not this time. Mark this post of the fucking century!
Damn, used up all my "thanks" in this thread alone in about 2 minutes.
Sweet!! I hadnt seen that yet!
Waaaaay better venue!!
And I just happen to live downtown about 6 blocks from the X!!
Fuck Scott Weiland. Fucking asshole. I get trashed all the time and still go to work. And my job sucks ass. -ODShowtime
Ahhh...the process for choosing WARF.
As I was heading down to Florida for a family vacation...you don't know how damn close I came to turning the car around and heading to NYC while the family was sleeping.
I can imagine my wife waking up saying, "Uh, where the hell are we..."
and me giddily laughing...and screaming..."VAN HALEN BABY!!!!!!!!!"
Woulda been a dream come true.
That said...I kept heading to Florida instead of risking divorce (ten years ago...there's have been risking for sure)...
There isn't anyone better that deserves this more than the WARF-meister general...definitely had to be someone who paid his dues here at the Army. Most don't remember that he was a webbie here way back in the day (yo ThatArtGuy, he was added some time after Brownsound and I), and a moderator for many...many years...
...not to mention some classic alias' that I won't get into...but there was one that was so damn classic...you wouldn't fucking believe it...
That said...tear it up WARF...have a great time...
"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."
My guess set list (half 'hope list'/half 'they will play' list)
1. Unchained
2. Romeo Delight
3. Runnin' With the Devil
4. Tattoo
5. Bottoms Up
6. Secrets
7. Hear About it Later
8. Panama
9. Jump
10. Eruption/You Really Got Me
Ummmm....OK.
I'm sure it's always been on Google's page...but I thought they usually only did exteriors...
The link (that's always been there on Google) was just put on VHND's page. Is that better?
Why yes, it is...
We are 350+ posts into this thread & my eyes are bloodshot from just waking up. Has anyone thought of the possibility they only play the new album live? Maybe 1-2 classics and the rest new stuff to kinda trot it out, let the critics hear it & all in a fashion that makes it more difficult to give it a bad review?
“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”
Holy Jesus! It will be like having Van Halen play in your living room. WARF is gonna be so damn close to the band it's amazing & unreal.
I should've just been a dick and taken the pass myself...
Fuck...

LOVE THIS!!
"The Cafe Wha? will be closed on Thursday for a private event. "
Yeah, but that would have meant driving North and circumnavigating New York in the wintertime. It also would have resulted in a serious case of the trots around the time you hit Philadelphia, after eating at gas stations and Taco Bell franchises. But if you change your mind, bring back a case or two of Schaefer.I should've just been a dick and taken the pass myself...

“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”― Stephen Hawking
Nah, WARF will represent us just fine...
we should have set WARF up with the old time reporter look, fedora hat with the "PRESS" card in the band, bad suit, and a big notebook with pencils. that would have gotten someone's attention.
Dont forget the "Hi! My name is Waldo" press badge.
You were!
