Van Halen - The Downtown Sessions - "You Really Got Me" Video...

[Mr Walker]

A reacharound doesn't need to be gay.

Explain

[silverfish]

The only thing we're not playing Ed, is around

Heh, yeah. I love that line.

[kwame k]

So would you rather go back to The Van Halen Dark Ages, where we didn't see nor hear anything for years on end?

You'd rather them not release any videos or pictures, just release the album?

Exactly, our favorite band giving shit away to their fans......

When have we ever had this much access to this band and from the looks of it, they're happy and showing a side we've never seen before!

Those bastards

Maybe so...

Maybe the Van Halen mystique would be better kept intact...

But i'm not knocking the unplugged idea, just kinda expected the performance to be better...

It's Van Halen, it should be good...

Nice Va.

.I that would be me.. not being a musician, as in; needing to see Ed or Al or the Van Hagar years to keep up with what Ed or whattever what.. was sounding like ... Had no need for it and bieng a Roth preffered customer, haven't heard a note (sept radio that I couldn't reach the nob of) or seen a video of Van Halen in any form since 1984 and i mean the year...agree with you ,Dark Ages is a understatement from my perspective as far as I am concerned this is the first time I have seen or heard wanted or needed Ed since 84 and I like him more than I did back then...

Good stuff on a hump day. Never thought I'd live to see the day Van HALEN would release all this stuff.

Explain

Have you never done it?

Edward was pretty damn good there. Dave looks like it is killing him to be sitting down, lol

[Mr Walker]

Sometimes I start to sympathise with Eddie not wanting to release anything any more because it was a lose-lose situation with some people.

I've heard that's 95% of the reason why it took so long to get this new CD.

Fuck, if the internet were around back in the day there'd be a large group of knuckleheads who would have bashed 'Fair Warning' when it was released after 'WACF'....
"waaahh... it's to dark!" "waaahhh... where's the party music"... oh here's the party music on 'Diver Down'... "waaahhh... it's all covers!" "waaahhhh... it's not as good as Fair Warning"

[sonrisa salvaje]

Elvis, good to see you back bro'.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

By the way, I know that Dave talks about the Downtown Sessions, but YRGM is not one of the songs on the Deluxe CD...

Just Panama, Beautiful Girls, You and Your Blues (Intro) and You and Your Blues....

[Seshmeister]

It seems someone forgot to call Ray Davies.

He must have done pretty well out of Van Halen over the years you wouldn't think they would have had a problem.

Dave also said that this was a documentary...........

[Matt White]

Nice to see something (anything) from these guys............

[Zing!]

Wonder if Dave had a sore throat? That's what I first thought when he said "I'm gonna sing it anyway." Also looked like he had a cough drop in at the start, and maybe coughed a bit at the half way point (although that could be too many smokes, who knows - that would also explain why he looks like he can't catch his breath). Either way - if he had a sore throat, then he might have wanted to change his approach to the song. He's a professional musician, I assume he knows when to dial back the vocals. The opening Bugs Bunny voice is just...weird. Still, appreciate the band putting something out there for the fans...definitely warts and all! In the age of auto-tune, this is a rarity!
