New Van Halen debate

[Terry]

Oh, terrific. The thoughts of Elvis have returned, in a disembodied, somewhat fractured form.

To celebrate, I'm going to let off some premature fireworks in my driveway, microwave a Cup 'O' Noodles, then make a giant toast with that gallon box of wine I got on sale today at Publix with free corn chips.

First person to shoot me gets my lawnmower.

Is that Publix wine/corn chips combo promo available statewide, or just in your county?

Is it a riding mower ??? I have been looking...


I could probably estimate the trajectory from KC to FL..and just let one fly due to the earths rotation some declination issues....I will try to hit you on the top of the head.

If I only had a rifle...or one of those SCUD missles.....ahh to much collateral.....perhaps hot wire one of these Kansas Silos....they got the nukes in em..ya know.

But then who wants a radio actice lawn mower....ok, to many variable....never mind but thanks,

See ya, veggie...

Eddie Trunk, brought to you by Walmart and White Castle...

And on his latest podcast a snake oil supplement ironically called Mental Titan...

[ZahZoo]

If the people who guide him in matters of PR - if there is, indeed, any advice about that kind of stuff being offered or listened to - had a sense adventure or history, they might have advertised the tour as more of a celebration.

Take into consideration... Ed's primary source of "people who guide him in matters of PR" is his wife, a former Porn PR rep. I don't know much about PR in the Porn industry... It's obviously something that slithers around in the shadows beyond the view of mainstream media marketing. Maybe we're not hanging in the right slimy places... The irony... porn's primary market reach is via the internet... yet Van Halen has nothing remarkable going on the net.

That notion is quite astute. Consider the fact that the dithering idiot actually came up with two non-shirted, sweaty, howling messes for one of the dullest porn flicks in recorded memory, and history starts to fall into place like a set of tabletop stacked dominos.

Dave needs to start making his presence known outside of being on stage. This recent silence is completely odd. Does he have a freaking ban from talking from the Van Halens. What the hell does he do all day to remain sane or is he totally loony now because Ed has a gag order on him. I can see Dave at this moment doing one of a hundred videos talking, talking to himself and answering questions of himself because he cannot be quiet, and is storing them away like Prince. For better or worse, the guy cannot stop moving, talking or thinking and yet he is in a band dedicated to silence and zero fan outreach... Dave is the biggest oxymoron in the music industry (other than Kanye West being called a genius) because he is in a band whose character is press shy lol

I had thought possibly Edward, Al and Dave would have a fairly good grasp on band promotion given they've had 35+ years of doing it... But clearly they learned nothing from their past experience.

They are like a pack of prize winning, veteran show dogs... After all these years you'd think they'd know what to do. But let them off the leash and they just run around wildly, sniffin butts, barking, snapping at each other and crapping in any corner they choose.

Imagine yourself as the poor UPS driver arriving at Howdy Doofy Mountain waiting for Edwad to sign the electronic signature thing while listening to him say "Hey, it's what I use!" while delivering a case of tube socks.

[Jetstream]

Well Happy Fourth of July guys... I give you a guy off cue, timing off, not hitting high notes and forgetting lyrics and laughing his way through a song who is not named David lol

OK, here is a challenge...it takes about seven solid swings of a hammer focused directly at my forehead to provide relief from this noise. Any takers out there that can make it in a lesser amount of swipes?

If ya want, we can lay some money on the table...

That is one of the worst vocal performances and lyrics of any song to date, regardless of the band... but what is interesting is that Ed probably got a wake up call on it too because he tried to get it right on the VH III song "Fire in the Hole" which uses the same composition, DAMN IT LET DAVE HAVE A GO AT THAT RIFF BABY
