It's very cool to see the "three twins" rehearsing these gems, but let's face it, it all comes down to whether or not Dave will sing them. I see this whole movement becoming a flashpoint for another fight between Dave, Ed, and Al.
On the positive side, it shows me that Wolfgang is keeping his ear to the ground, and maybe woke his pops and uncle up to the fact that true fans are pissed that they're being sold this "live album" as an excuse for a cash grab "greatest hits tour."
Maybe they finally realize the stupidity of performing "greatest hits" live, based on a LIVE recording of "greatest hits" from 2 fucking years ago.
Maybe they finally realize that perhaps they overestimated the level of "fan desperation", and that their strategy of starving fans to the point of near death and then throwing them small morsels of food won't work this time. I think most of us are completely over being "enablers" to these guys...acting like abused spouses who know they should leave but decide to stick around for "one more chance" because "deep down, he/she is really a good person who cares about me."
The fans have spoken. If we're going to pay through the nose for concert tickets again, then we had better hear some FUCKING songs that we didn't just hear two years ago, and are now hearing again on the "Tokyo Dome" recording. VH has gotten wind of this and are now scrambling to dig out the deep cuts / B-sides and perhaps give the fans what they want for a change.
But if Dave won't sing 'em, it won't be worth shit. And wouldn't it just be fitting if this whole tour imploded over the idea of giving the fans what they want? That is SO Van Halen....

I smell bullshit around this whole thing. We're being led around by the fucking nose.
These Instagram snippets are nothing but a marketing strategy to sell tickets to suckers like us, and are in NO WAY any indication or confirmation that these songs will be performed on the upcoming tour.
It's the 3 Van Halens fucking around in the studio and doing different things because they're bored out of their fucking skulls by the "Dave-approved" setlist. (Just like most of the fans at this point)
When Dave's away, the Van Halen's will play....

Seems these guys are rehearsing daily, to get ready.
I wonder what Dave is doing? Smoking? Studying Japanese? Dancing? Karate? Practicing his baton routine? Getting more tattoos? Watching his hair grow back? Debating his wardrobe? Rustling cattle?

They are probably scanning youtube for a clone that can and will sing all the songs!
I believe Ed would like to make more new music. I believe he knows there is nobody that can emulate the magic he has with Dave. I think Ed having a clear head, and perspective, is allowing him to be much more tolerant with Dave, than he would have been, and was, previously.

I want to believe that, but he's too stuck in nostalgia land. He could be making new music with anyone and call the project something other than Van Halen. He could make a solo album with various guest singers. Sitting on the sidelines to watch his son make a record with his friends is not a great use of his time. Maybe his well is dry.

I agree it looks and sounds like Ed's willing to make new music... He and his brother & kid seem to be able to get together and rehearse. That would be an excellent spring-board for creativity to occur.
You'd think Dave would like to also... But I don't know... there's something a miss and disconnected with Dave and the Van Halens going on. It could be that they are avoiding any casual contact and just allowing formal, booked business obligations to drive collaboration... none of them want to blink first or go out on a limb to try something for fear it could blow up at any bump in the road.
It's just speculation since no communications have come from Roth. I suspect it's beyond whatever legal troubles he's gotten himself shut down in the media. That's a subject that everyone seems to be avoiding, but the silent elephant in the room keeps growing. WTF?

Because Dave knows deep down that the "5" in John 5 represents the number of people who would be interested in actually hearing it. Let's face it....Dave is OVERJOYED about being back in the public eye and the mainstream media, and he knows the reason for it is named "Edward Van Halen."
Any music he releases on his own, whether it's with John 5 or anybody else, will not get him appearances on daytime or late night talk shows, or huge music awards shows.
"Love the craft. Or love the buck." I think it's pretty clear what Dave's choice is.
Von Halen (05-06-2015)
I don't think that Ed wants to give any appearances that he's taking the "Hagar" path of creating new bands on a whim.
And if Ed's nostalgic, that's cool with me. He's made peace with the past and has learned to enjoy it.
I don't think he's dry...he's just content. If/when the restlessness hits, he'll start producing.
What I don't understand is the " Dave can't hit the high notes anymore " bullshit. I listen to the VH catalog almost every day. Didn't Edward have to tune down to David's lower register back in the day ? Did David ever sing high like he's doing now, except maybe to scream or wail ? When he talks on ADKOT, he's low and sexy like normal. Is the loss of Michael affecting his register, as in him believing he has to compensate - even tho there is really no need to ? I don't understand.

The loss of Mike is affecting the harmonies, it's not affecting Dave personally.
Wolfgang takes care of the higher register stuff...but not with the same quality as Mike.
None of us understand what is going on with Dave, so you're not alone. All we do know for sure is that he's doing things with what's left of his voice that are completely unnecessary and uncalled for.
The reason why remains a complete mystery.

I'm guessing that you're speaking for Ed there...and I would 100% agree with him if it goes down that way.
They've milked the "greatest hits" cow for 8 years now with the exception of ADKOT, a solid record that saw very little representation on the tours.
Without another new record, there's nothing I want to hear or see live EXCEPT the deep cuts.

Never heard it, or if I have then did my best to forget it.
Too MTV so...ghey
Interesting. Tell me MORE! Give it to me, baby! Give it to me hard!
Really? Predictable, I suppose.
Um, okay. Sure
Rather pass on this seeing Roth sings like a Gitmo prisoner undergoing a waterboarding procedure. Pass. Good one, though.
Never heard. So that's ghey, too.
Sexist MTV 80's shit. Seeing this is probably Eddie's "coolest" riff I'll let it slide
Maybe if they played it ABBA/disco style where Dave gyrates his pelvis then maybe.
I sure as shit don't. So yeah, ghey.
I would have to be on some really kick-ass weed to enjoy this one.
Tolerable. If there is more Eddie and less Dave on this one.
Without the original F A T bass player on vocal? Pass
Cathedroll
Well, I do like some BDSM from time to time so yeah, cool
More sexist shit
Another one I really don't care for.
That should be the entire concert right there.

The original album cover to Spinal Tap's Smell The Glove was sexist. VH songs? Not so much.

Sounds good!
Props to WVH for trying to drum up some interest in this tour.
That being said, I'm sitting this one out. If I see some killer setlists, and the band is hitting on all cylinders a month from now I will gladly contradict myself and grab some tix last minute.

So.. That's the second time Wolfie posts snippets of Dirty Movies?
Well I guess they're gonna play it then.
They better be. Now, it's all up to DLR. I'm not saying the faggot will pull a 2012 "I'm not singing Light Up The Sky/As Is" schtick. I just hope he comes to his senses and please the fans.
