Why the hell are Dave and the boys getting so much hate this time around?

[fraroc]

I have followed this new album and tour ever since it was first announced and as soon as the Tattoo video was released......All I saw was Van Halen "Fans" on youtube make some of the most vile comments about Van Halen, especially David Lee Roth. And when the concert footage came out, people did nothing but rip on them and bitch about how much Dave sucks.

Then those douchebags started to call me a delusional idiot and one of them even went low enough to tell me I should kill myself because I like Dave. I know I already mentioned the assholes that were giving the finger to the band when the did Tattoo at the concert I went to (2/28 MSG) But the fact that they're still getting hate from their fans is fucking bullshit.

I love Van Halen, but I HATE the "fans." I've never seen any band that has taken that much abuse from their fans like Van Halen. On any VH video on YT, there's comments saying "Van Halen sucks now they should hang it up" and "fuck dave, where's sammy?" It's like all their fans are blind, deaf and retarded! When I saw them on 2/28 at MSG they were on FIRE! In the case of Van Halen, their haters are their own FANS. THEY'RE the fucking delusional idiots, not us.

Unfortunately the population of douchebags has increased drastically in the last five years since the last VH go around. Facebook, twitter, the internet as a whole has been taken over by these ass clowns. Do we blame Jersey Shore, Real Housewives, tanning salons, tequila makers, Fitch, Hollister? I don't know. But one thing is for certain...douchebags generally identify with Sammy and the Cabo Babbo mindset. It's a sad thing really.

This world needs an enema.

It's not just David Lee Roth, the know it all fucksticks on the internet think it is cool to criticise everything and every mouthbreathing idiot troll with a keyboard is a fucking self styled expert. Reading those comments are enough to make me lose what little faith I have left in humanity.

Because on the date of February 07 2012, Van Halen released their 7th album, A Different Kind of Truth. And it made everything erroneously released under the "Van Halen" name from 1986 - 2004 completely irrelevant.

And the sheep hate that.

[chefcraig]

I am frequently astounded at the level of utter stupidity and outright ignorance displayed by the mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging and more than likely inbred boneheads that post commentary at Youtube. Occasionally you'll click on the "Show more" option in order to find out some details of the clip, and immediately below it will be dozens of gas-huffers arguing as to why the clip sucks and insulting each other using the most illiterate terminology and downright ghastly spelling that it's nearly impossible to follow along without resorting to heavy narcotics.

Just say no to stupidity.

Uncle Ben and Aunt May raised a web shooting, wall crawling potty mouth?

[envy_me]

I am okay with the hate.

To put the hate in perspective you have to see who is recieving love. Sammy? Rihanna? Miley Cyrus? Sometimes hate is a compliment. Who cares what these idiots think, they are obviously the lowest form of life. Now I am exaggerating it but it's just to make a point; would you wanna be loved by Hitler?

[DONNIEP]

The dipshits arguing on youtube are no different than the morons who show up here and try to make a big splash or wanna talk shit just to get some attention. Any attention. Even if it's just getting their teeth kicked in over and over and over again.

It's fairly simple - The fans of the Bette and the Hagaritas version of Van Hagar are becoming increasingly non-existent in the eyes of current Van Halen, there is nothing on the horizon to expect that any portion of the Bette catalog will EVER be played again, and those sheep® are stomping their feet like the red-headed chick in Wedding Crashers....

Simply put.. (including over at the Sheep-dominated VHLinks) Anything Dave does or says will be pounced on and turned in to something it's not. Like the Super Bowl statement. Essentially Dave (cleverly) said we have not been asked, but if asked we'd accept. Pretty simple really. Then people start turning it in to Dave is begging to be on the Super Bowl halftime...blah blah blah.

Dave is a genius. Immediately after making that statement ESPN put up a poll about VH at halftime. FREE MOTHERFUCKING PUBLICITY! Right there, folks, is why DLR is a flippin one of a kind motherfucker. Took advantage of a rumor and turned it in to an advantage.

Ya nailed it --- way too many people (apparently 34% visitors to ESPN.com) still think Van Halen '86-'96 is something that needs to come back --- fuckin' weird and delusional sheepies.
