yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[78/84 guy]

I was going through some CDs the other day and came across the Fair Warning album. As i looked at it, I noticed a sly bit of foreshadowing on the album. The guy pounding his head against the wall is actually a symbol for what it would be like to be a Van Halen fan after 1985. Well done VH. Well done.

I was never smart enough too get that album cover. I get it now. LOL !

[ELVIS]

Look at all the people here tonight...

MSG folks and very matter of fact about it.

My personal opinion is there is still some legal disagreement, just a hunch on my part. No proof just smells like it with the no stories and I know nothing that is floating around VH. So what I hear is not per se what I think. Either way this band is just so uncoordinated at doing anything its shocking.

[ELVIS]

What band ??

I just hope they make another kickass album and they tour near my latitudes.
I've fucking had it. I wanna see them before any of them croaks (Zappa forbid)

[Von Halen]

I've fucking had it.

You're 26 years old, and haven't been through shit with this band, and you've "fucking had it" already? That has to be the quote of the year right there.

My frustration with this band, is older than you are.

[ELVIS]

Is Wolfie 26 yet ??

We get it , you're old and frustrated .

Jeeez will you let it go

I know I'm not that old, but Van Halen came here for the first (and so far last) time 32 years ago. You live in the USA, you've had plenty more chances than me to see cool shows!

[ELVIS]

You didn't miss anything...

[doobiewah]

Is Wolfie 26 yet ??

Turning 24 this year.
I don't know about his charisma, but the Godlike status of Papa Eddie sure gets him plenty of punani. Oh, how I envy you, Wolfie.

[ELVIS]

What Eddie are you talking about ??

The Artist formerly (?) known as Eddie Van Halen.

Perhaps that's a legit graphic. It does go along with the theme of Dave's whacky Christmas video.

Looks a lot like this.....

Just to clarify for the completist are people being asked to do the following...?

Buy the Van Halen 1 LP
Buy the CD
Buy the Remasters
Buy The Best Of – Volume I
Buy The Best of Both Worlds
Buy the mp3 versions or on iTunes
Buy the 2013 The Studio Albums Boxset
Buy the new remasters
Buy the new remasters on vinyl

When Eddie sits complaining about torrents if a fan asks "Ok I've now bought Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love from you 7 times, can you blame me if I'm tempted to torrent #8?"

Buy the new remasters on vinyl again. Well VH, VHII, WACF and 1984 done in 2009-2010.

[ELVIS]

I'm done buying the same album over and over...

And I'm not buying the live album unless the vocals have been redone...

I would buy the RTI 180 gram VH s/t released on vinyl in 2009. It is going out of print.

This was not newly remastered as indicated. They re-used the stamper from DCC and the original DCC goes for a lot of money. My guess is this will too once it goes out of print, it is the best sounding version of that album (and for cheap).

I own the DCC Gold cd (which sounds great), the 2009 Rhino/DCC vinyl is better.

[ELVIS]

Hmmm...

Maybe if I found it for cheap...

[chefcraig]

What Eddie are you talking about ??

[bru87tr]

Hmmm...

Only $25.

Sure to go up when everyone on ebay finds out it is a clone of the DCC. That generally sells for $150.

[bru87tr]

Lets not kid ourselves here.. this was what we wanted and still WANTTTT!!!!!! FUCK!!! the timing was Impossible.. Ed was right off a huge success with Spam after DLR left in '85. Ed owned the world back then DLR couldn't have got any more that he did. ED was on heavens highest high and only he could decide what was right for his ... need,.. was gone..... it was like that I bet. Dave was right off the awesome YFLM great shit just excellent..the combat was on and ED owned the stage....ego smash and rightly so..just wasn't right.

almost 20 years ago 1996

We are lucky we got that two tunes MWM and CGTSNM THAT WAS IT!!!!


The Vaults are old and tired......Wolfies future and Eds grandkids legacy don't fool yourselves.


Things since 2007 have been great, ...now, What Will The Future Bring Us!!!!!!

New music studio tracs 10 - 12 tunes.. perhaps with some "thing" interesting to say ..NO EASY TASK!!!!

Ed sounded great on those tunes. He sounded like he took a time machine back to 1984 on those tunes. Just my opinion though.

A shame there was not more.

[bru87tr]

I haven't sat and watched some live VH in a while.

I forgot how bad eddie was in 2007. The band was not on Dave's level, IMO. Dave was singing like Dave and nailing everything.

Go figure now it is the other way around.

Listened to VH all week at work. Now a weekend binge of old VH, after some 2007-2008 VH!

He got better after their little break. Baltimore 08 is really good. I just watched Charlotte the other night. Opening night and Ed was o.k. but his solo was really bad.

[DLR Bridge]

I saw them in '08 post break in NJ and I thought Ed turned in a sterile, boring performance. I think when Ed did the Esquire interview in '12, he had mentioned that whatever rehab related sedative they had him on had him feeling pretty numb to what was going on. I'm amazed he was able to churn out any performance at all in the state he was in. I just remember being blown away by Dave at my show. He carried that band on his back like HE was the guy on the cover of 5150. Ok, that was ghey.

[vandeleur]

Dave was great in 07/08 and ed was either sloppy or pissed.Ed was on fire for the second tour fuck know what was up with dave wish it was he was pissed.

What the fuck have we done wrong to like this dysfunctional bunch , even when they bring it someone forgets to bring it.

Anyway bring back Mike , mullets and 8track. Cmon

Diamond Dave was above and beyond my (and I think most of us) expectations in '07/'08...
He was the Rock God... although Ed was good at the show I saw!

Again, not really sure where THAT guy went in '12/'13...

I think he got lazy & old.

[Never was]

Dave is a bad winner so that may contribute to a lack of focus and self indulgent choices in melody.
Plus it is 8 years later 50's vs 60's, any health struggles he may have will be a challenge for anyone as they age. That physical aspect is indeed his instrument so aging is a challenge more so for singers. He needs to learn to sing down which is a classic technique as singers age but he is going up which really is making matters much worse.

[Droomer5150]

We're 29 days from the release date of this "thing". VH still haven't said a word about it, acknowledged it at all and no one has heard any audio from it at all. COME ON!!!!

I am actually really interested to hear it, can't wait to hear some proper live mixed/mastered Roth fronted VH...if it even is true. Of course I'd love if a blu-ray/DVD was with it cause that's how VH are best presented, visuals and audio and I'd also like a 1984 blu-ray and a 78 set in the extras and then the 80 documentary and......but still ANYTHING! The pain, oh the pain....

[Von Halen]

Actually, we've all unfortunately heard audio from it.

[Von Halen]

Oh wait, you're talking about VH's version of the show? The one that won't be real? I hear they are piping in Mike and Dave's vocals.

Right Now (pun intended) they are feverishly syncing up the studio recordings to Dave's performance in Japan. But don't tell anyone. It's a secret.

They should just have someone go in the studio, film close ups of their lips lip syncing all the songs, and then digitize the lips onto Dave from the Japan show. Make it crude and obvious that it's digitized. If they are going to mock their legacy with this bullshit release, they might as well go full mockery.

[ELVIS]

I hear they are piping in Mike and Dave's vocals.

You serious, Clark ??

[Von Halen]

You serious, Clark ??

Wishful thinking.

[ELVIS]

I take it you won't be dropping the $79 smackers for eight sides of Dave yelping and screeching on non-collectors edition black vinyl ??
