    ADKOT and this live record release show that Van Halen is simply not a well runned organization. Every fan poll and critic review cited Stay Frosty as the highlight and VH basically ignored the damn thing. Their sense of the market just plain sucks. I hope this tour they give some life to ADKOT that is different such as Stay Frasty or As Is, etc... China Town doesn't work live and Sesh nailed it on Trouble w Never, it should be a good song, the pieces are there but for whatever reason it just doesn't come together as it should.

    I saw Dave do DOA on Long Island in 06 and he nailed it perfectly, that would be a great one to bring back. Hopefully the band noticed some songs like HAIL that were dead for decades were what fans left talking about, that was such highlight last tour.
    As Dave stated previously, Stay Frosty was the one and only truly brand new song on the whole album, and he wrote the whole thing including the melody. For that reason, I'd be a million more times excited about the John 5 disc, than I am this bullshit Tokyo stuff.

      So 12 of the 13 songs had riffs that had been kicking around for a while? I thought it was 7. Doesn't matter to me either way. They were well within their rights to dig into their own trick bag. Screw anyone who thinks they shouldn't have.

        According to Dave.

        I had no problem with them rehashing old riffs either. But I do have a problem with what they are trying to sell me on in March.

          Besides John 5 project I would love for Dave to release a bunch of acoustic stuff he recorded but never released. I actually enjoy his playing and think his voice now is better suited acoustically to highlight his tone over him forcing power not there anymore.

            Every time Sammy Hagar talks about how much money he makes, I illegally download one of his albums for FREE and never listen to it.

                  Has it been mentioned that if a live album is to be released in 6 weeks, then we are probably at least 9 months away from an album of new music, if at all?

                    Why not get a bottle of Cabo Wabo tequila for a 5 finger discount instead?

                    You'll still be taking Sammy's money, but at least you'll get something out of it, for a little while.

                      That's actually worse. The people at the store will just restock because they think people want the stuff.

                        I have an idea for a sticker on the Nth remasters:

                              That's what bothers me most. If they were an actual working band, this live album would probably delay new material for at least a year, but probably more like two. With these guys and their thumb twiddling, who knows and meanwhile the sun of their careers creeps closer to the horizon. The thought of it being at least a couple more years for any new material is depressing. Crack the fuckin' whip, Wolf.

                                He said in his next tweet that he was talking about the game, not VH fans
