[PETE'S BROTHER]

i hope we get hooked up with tickets to the secret fair warning concert....

[FORD]

This can't be true. The Billboard Awards never have musical acts that actually play instruments or sing without an autotuner.

[WARF]

Retire already!

[PETE'S BROTHER]

Retire already!

i'm tryin'...

Hey if Dave used an Autotuner I would thank him for saving my ears. The coke, cigarettes, joints, and booze have taken their toll.

[vandeleur]

Retire already!

Fuck off , they have only been shot since you seen them

[Nitro Express]

Retire already!

It's Wolfie's band now and the only reason Dave is in it is he no longer can borrow against the Mojo Dojo.

[Romeo Delight]

Why aren't they marketing, why are they marketing?

Miserable fools...

[vandeleur]

Wolf just confirmed this on twatter

[PETE'S BROTHER]

Wolf just confirmed this on twatter

[vandeleur]

ask him for the secret show tickets

He has stopped all that stuff since sesh banned him

[Heater]

Speaking of Billboard, the new album is already off the top 200? I honestly thought it would sell a little better, I hope they don't start canceling shows if ticket sales are sluggish.

I think the Billboard rating system is out of date to the times. People rarely buy albums anymore. They buy singles and for what they cost hard to make any money off them. Another question is do album sales reflect live show ticket sales. There might not be the correlation there used to be. Times have changed and the VH audience is going to be an average of 50 years old.

[Nitro Express]

Why aren't they marketing, why are they marketing?

Miserable fools...

They never got marketing. They should be sending Dave around to promote the band. Dave loves to do it but nope. Have Dave go out and give away some free VH and EVH swag and pump up some excitement. They aren't hungry anymore and that's a big part of the problem.

[Nitro Express]

I'll be at the first show! :P

Flash Dave your tits!

[FORD]

What "deets" Wolf??

I click that link and all I see is a bunch of mindless spam for various bubblegum singers lobbying against each other to win some useless award.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Just saw a commercial for it while watching the Draft...

List several acts performing, none of which were Van Halen....

[FORD]

For the love of God, play something that is NOT "Jump" or "Panama".

Remind these fucking boyband posers and idiots who think a turntable is a musical instrument what REAL rock & roll sounds like.

[VAiN]

If they came out and rolled Romeo Delight into Unchained that would do it..

Hahahaha!! I just read the 'talent' listed on the site.. Just wow! It's a shitshow in every way possible! VH will rock the house..

Not really much better news there, unfortunately.

[Carloscda]

Wolf also dropped some IG clips of them rehearsing Drop Dead Legs & Dirty Movies!

And he's asking the fans what other deep cuts would they like to hear on the upcoming tour.

I said on the news desk, Could all these TV appearances be culminating with dare I say it...The Super Bowl halftime show??!!

Another opportunity to bring out DTNA and Dave's Dancing with the Stars audience plant...

Well, what do you expect?

You know something? I think Kristy's right & most of you are still stuck in 1985 & are now slowly awakening to the realization that the world has changed around you. Not by choice, but because Van Halen is interacting with the real world, so you guys have no choice but notice it.

Well, welcome to 2015. All entertainment has gone to SHIT. Music is safe, bland corporatized bullshit that sounds exactly the same no matter who's auto-tuning, movies are recycled trash with the same actors, camera shots, soundtracks & ONE carefully woven plot that tries very hard not to offend any susceptibilities or allows you to think during the whole ordeal. Books have become poorly written fan-fiction with emphasis on either forced sexual tension - Young Adults - or straight up, also poorly written mind pornography for frustrated housewives.

Culture has become the equivalent of talking about the weather.

Welcome to my nightmare - I think you're gonna like it.

Cheers!

I have a feeling it won't.

Your world is about to come crashing down, VAiN. No one will give two shits about Van Halen. Nobody will care about who's playing what. All everyone will care about will be the way the "artists" dress & if they kiss on stage.

Read my post above this. Welcome to 2015.

It's ok to cry. I do it a lot.

Cheers!

[ZahZoo]

You're right Izzy... as usual... It's 2015 and Van Halen has evolved into the Pluto of the music universe. Not even quite a planet any more.

I read the charts or channel flip during any of these music awards shows on TV... I don't even recognize 70% of the names nor have heard their music which most of it sucks!!

It's somewhat a shame that Rock music didn't retain it's core genre like country has... instead the industry went chasing after any shit that turned a dime and forgot what built the house to begin with.

Your assessment of the industry is spot-on. I know that no one will give a shit about VH that night other than a few of us around here. I'm looking forward to seeing Eddie play and having a quality recording of it. That's about it.. No tears.

Post Of The Year (sarcasm mode turned to "OFF" position).

I am not kidding...Ima's commentary on books, music...shit, all forms of so-called entertainment is razor-sharp and right on.

Good for you brother, and nicely played.
