VH live album - OFFICIAL

[DLR Bridge]

He doesn't even have that...

It's a lie...

Edwad lied to you...

Get over it...

I was over it right after he said it. Still think he's sitting on a shit ton of experimental stuff, but aren't we all?

[DLR Bridge]

If what he has in the can is along the lines of "Catherine" or his other porn compositions, he can keep them there.

I actually don't mind parts of Catherine. The sustainer abuse, I do mind, however. I don't think he even wrote that tune. I think he was just jamming over an existing gothic porn soundtrack. Strange days indeed for that guy.

[ELVIS]

No, he wrote that garbage...

[Jérôme Frenchise]

LATEST NEWS: Those cabinets supposedly filled with tons of riffs and demos at 5150 are actually containing a stock of frankenflipflops.

[DLR Bridge]

No, he wrote that garbage...

I dunno. Says here, he worked off of a song from a previous film of Ninn's.

http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/edd...deo-available/

"The Van Halen songs in "Sacred Sin" are "Rise" (mp3) and "Catherine" (mp3), a remix of the theme from Ninn's 2005 movie of the same name.

"One of the things that Eddie really, really liked," Ninn said, "was the theme from 'Catherine'. He did a remix, it still carries the melody, but it's got a 'Kashmir' kind of feel to it now. A very, very powerful piece of music.”

The "Catherine" video is pretty depressing. Sweaty Eddie, by himself in the studio, playing all the instruments and noodling at the board.

This was at when he was at one of his lowest points personally. The video portrays him pretty much like he probably was at the time....a madman holed up in his studio, isolated from most folks due to his various addictions.

[VetteLS5]

He probably has 7 or 8 albums worth of him dicking around on piano and cello and skin flute

What, no meat whistle?

Not to mention tossing the guitar on the floor like its nothing and grabbing a bottle of Smoking Loon.

VEINARD!!!

I ordered a copy I'll get on Monday from Fnac. Thanks for sharing your impressions!

[vaijuju]

very happy ! dynamic record! VH is on fire ! forget chinatown or dance the night away...

[Jetstream]

Roth, and even Hagar have both stated in the past that writing a song with Edward, is Edward showing up with an odd assortment of cool sounds and assorted riffs but nothing that approaches a completed song. One of the reasons both versions of Van Halen sound so different, it is essentially Roth or Hagar constructing a coherent song out of Eddie's bits and pieces. I would think Edward's 'vault' is just a bunch of sounds the equivalent to ring tones and hardly songs lol

Nice to see they put Dave's website on there so people can navigate to a black screen.

Masters of planning and logistics these guys....

[Jérôme Frenchise]

Damn, I've just seen they sent me an email telling me I could pick up my copy today. I'll have to wait till tomorrow for now.

Keep posting your thoughts if you can!

[vaijuju]

great recording ! VH is on fire ..It's my band !! perhaps better than 1984 ( i Know i never saw the band live)

The bad : Dave vocal's always on Chinatown and Dance the night away

I didn't enjoy with the ed's solo ( from the 80's)

but anyway, i'm happy with this recording! ATBL time ..i think i'm going to listen the all thing again !!!

They'd said it would be on March 31st in the US and the 30th in the rest of the world. It's 3 days early here.

I'll skip China Town. I can't stand that tune, even from ADKoT. A pain in the balls.

How is the sound as a whole? Have we been moaning for nothing in advance listening to the Youtubes?

[vaijuju]

Who is Michael McDonald in the 3 footnote?

are you jooking ? Doobie brothers

[Romeo Delight]

Lol, sorry...I am actually quite proud of the fact I have no idea who he is

[Romeo Delight]

Lol, sorry...I am actually quite proud of the fact I have no idea who he is

I honestly didn't know he was a part of writing I'll Wait

[Va Beach VH Fan]

EVH Solo Teaser....

[VHscraps]

I honestly didn't know he was a part of writing I'll Wait

Ted Templeman / Don Landee connection there. Ted produced - and won a Grammy for - 'What a Fool Believes' by the Doobies, which is probably Michael McDonald's most famous tune ...

Has anyone heard 'Peg' by Steely Dan? He sings a pretty unique harmony on that - he voices every note of a chord, or something - like four or five voices schlocked together. Good stuff.

But, I think Dave was lacking inspiration with I'll Wait. He mentioned somewhere actually sitting in a room with Michael McDonald, who Ted roped in to try and help them get the tune finished.

[Romeo Delight]

Yeah it makes sense now. I made the Ted connection right away but tomorrow if you asked me tomorrow who was the singer for the Doobies, I will have forgotten hopefully.

[clarathecarrot]

I have always thought that as one of my go to songs on a juke box while out to prime some good times at the bar, one of my favorite Roth songs.

I think he does exceptional on it and perhaps, as Dave has said, a little controversy and tension can produce magic....

[ZahZoo]

Who is Michael McDonald in the 3 footnote?

He's a singer songwriter... first known for his backing vocals on a lot of Steely Dan's biggest hits. Then in the mid 70's joined the Doobie brothers... best known for Minute by Minute and What a Fool Believes vocals in which he won Grammys. Lot of lesser known solo stuff after that.

Steely Dan: Jesus fucking Christ.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Apparently the entire album is now available online, and Van Halen Radio is streaming it online all day today....

I don't know....

I fully realize that it's inevitable, so I'm not surprised that now that it's available online....

But I think it's completely fucked up for Van Halen Radio to be streaming it before the official release date....

[ELVIS]

Why ??

Are you afraid someone might hear what turds sound like before they get flushed ??

[VAiN]

I'm guessing that Van Halen Radio isn't 'official' in any way?

[ELVIS]

What a rip off !!

Where's the live lyrics ??

[Va Beach VH Fan]

That's not the point, but you know that....
