Can't wait to read the poorly spelled, nearly illiterate response filled with angry capitalization and bizarre attempts at proper grammar.

Actually I just saw he did in the thread....

The youtube came from cato @rotharmy.com he should get the thanks for it really...

[BenJammin]

Bridge, I feel ya, I'm curious about that too.

[chefcraig]

So much the better for the 11 and a half people that actually view the site at peak hours.

[Cato]

Who can speak to just how popular VH are in Japan currently? How has ADKOT been received and such?

You tell us! How has ADKOT been received over there?

Can aaaaaanyyyybody, for the luvagod, tell me how ADKOT is doing in Japan?? Hoping third times a charm here.

Japanese fans are similar to VH links users. I actually have seen some young people saying totally stupid things like "VH 3 is better than ADKOT" "would Dave sing Sammy's songs on stage?"

very annoying

[DLR Bridge]

Crazy! Thanks for answering and sorry for being a pain in the ass!

[DLR'sCock]

I have seen a TV show this guy hosted on bootleg years ago.
he seemed to be a worthless know-it-all pig or something there. I still don't know about him much, though

[fourthcoming]

Oh no Cato, you know plenty about him. There's nothing else you need to know sir.

Dave can't sing his own songs, let alone Sammy's, Sheesh ....

[ELVIS]

And you suck dick...

[twonabomber]

Surprised they are only doing two shows in Japan... looks like one is already sold out.

Sure seems like a long trip to haul all that gear and stuff for only two shows...

i dunno, the stage itself wasn't really anything special. they'll probably just rent everything and ship only the drum set and the guitars. Dave gets a new bamboo dance floor.

For accuracy's sake I thought they were doing three, two in Osaka and the one in Tokyo. Still, you'd think they'd do a couple more than that while over there.

[ZahZoo]

Starting to wonder... a good portion of the press/PR directly from Van Halen surrounding ADKOT and this tour seems to about embracing their legacy 74-85. Quite a shift for the Van Halen Brothers... Not long ago you'd thought they'd rather history was erased...

So is this an intro for new fans or a preface to writing an obituary..?

[ZahZoo]

Either more shows in Japan... or add others in that region.

Hello... Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Malaysia...

[vandeleur]

I was a bit conflicted about the Japan dates , wasn't happy because I was hoping the time off was for Dave to get a nip and tuck on his voice to sort whatever was troubling him but happy that the wheels hadn't fallen off the whole thing

[clarathecarrot]

After a thoughtfull and indepth search it appears ADKOT peaked at #3 on the Japanes Rock Charts.....I cannot find singles info or much else

http://www.oricon.co.jp/

Find a language pak or see if this is in english somewhere on this Japanes Chart site..?

we will know the sales totals at the end of the years I would suspect.

No Need To Yell.

[Dan]

I Really dont Know Why I Post So Much BS Here.

Tell Us About It.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Merged the Japanese threads....

[Va Beach VH Fan]

BTW, our DDE rep is headed to Japan tomorrow, not sure who else is going....

[Angel]

The band eventually, I assume

[Cato]

tell her to ask me how to use Japanese toilet seat, if she doesn't know about that.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

She's going with Dave....

[Cato]

Hummmm what's their purpose?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Hummmm what's their purpose?

I dunno, I told them to grab me some curry ramen on the way back though....

[Cato]

I'm moderating a small message board for DLR/CVH fans in Japanese SNS.

a couple of months ago, Dave asked us(me and other users) about Japanese popular singers, comedians, gags through his personal staff.

I think it was a research to make his performance in Japan special but I'm pretty sure he won't do anything for us because all of our answers were crap

[ZahZoo]

Is that the new model with the automatic Power Douche?

[Never was]

Yes there is a new power douche its called a Sammy

This is just giving me anxiety. Why is it cancelled/delayed??

[ZahZoo]

Have some patience... Russell the Van Halen SpokesDog™ is at the dog groomers being prepared for his next witty and well prepared band update...

Speculation is mounting that Dave was over in Japan to negotiate the A/C Off - Brown M&M clause with the Japanese venues and they're are refusing to budge on the issue unless the return of Headset Microphone is included in the deal... We can see the ref's reaching for the flag now... Another Unnecessary Roughness™ call is imminent...

[DONNIEP]

Nah, I don't think it was the headset mic the Japanese are pushing for - I heard it was the microphone with the saddle that Dave used to ride around the arena.

[ELVIS]

That would be unusual

What band are you talking about again ??
