VH live album - OFFICIAL

[DONNIEP]

Maybe a little advertising would pay for a VBulletin replacement?

Ron Jeremy dick growing secrets pop up ads!! Not that I've ever seen those on porn sites, I just heard they're annoying.

Well nice to see everyone isn't completely throwing Dave under the bus.

No, I think it sucks they made an album from a tour where Dave was clearly having voice trouble and was coughing through almost every show...

it's the same as if they used a 2007 show where Ed was wasted...

I've got live boots going all the way back to the club days. I'll just continue enjoying them.

Look at it this way, it would give Von one less thing to bitch about...

No screw that and also fuck shaking down all the users each year for thousands while threatening to shut down if they don't pay up.

There is a donate button and the Amazon thing but apart from that this has been a pirate ship for 17 years now and we aren't going corporate...

Von will always find something to bitch about...

Dude, get a tampon and chill out.

But you can't say I'm wrong though. There has honestly been such little positivity and sanity in the Van Halen fanbase I'd say ever since Tattoo came out. Now hating DLR/Van Halen is the hip thing to do.

This time to sabotage Roth once again by releasing a horrible live show in which Dave was COMPLETELY off the entire night.

If he felt sabotaged would he have worked on choosing the artwork?

On that point I think the French flag thing is a bit odd, I'm surprised he didn't find something Japanese or American or a mixture.

Here's my two cents....

You know, I still buy Rolling Stones live albums. I don't expect them to measure up to "A Brussels Affair", and know goddamned well that they will never make a record that sounds like that again.

Difference there, of course, is that the Stones actually RELEASED "A Brussels Affair". Granted, it took them 40 fucking years to do it, and still didn't make it easy to obtain, with no CD release, so you were limited (legally) to shitty MP3 files (in the US of course) or to a ridiculously priced vinyl version ($700, last I checked). But I found the FLACs that were sold legitimately in all the other countries NOT ruled by corporate fascism

So I own that album. And I own the album they released from the Hyde Park show at their 50th anniversary show last year. And there's no question which one I like better. But thanks, Mick & Keith, for putting them BOTH out there for the fans to listen to.

This is the message they need to hear up on Howdy Doody Mountain. Put this album out? Sure, why not? But we all know damn well there's an official live album already in the can from 1981 tour (scrapped at the 11th hour, causing the forced recording of Diver Down).

So enough already, Eddie. Open the goddamned archives like every other aging rock star has.

Oh, and if your ridiculous dispute with Sobolewski is the cause of this leaving the vault doors slammed shut, then you both need to GROW THE FUCK UP ALREADY AND GET OVER IT. Wolfie's clearly got other interests, and wants to be in a band with guys closer to his own age. Can't blame him for that. Let him go, with your full blessings, and do what's right for the band, for fucks sake.

See this is the type of rage I like to see! If they want to release tokyo live, then release it, if anyone doesn't like it then they just shouldn't buy it...but then open the vault and start unleashing live VH in their prime! Imagine VH released Oakland 81 first then released Tokyo Dome live, TD wouldn't even sell at all. Trying to follow up that with a modern release (that doesn't have Anthony either) would be suicide. It at least has the novelty interest of being Daves only official live album (so far). Maybe there's hope for the vaults to open now.

fuck. The. Van. Halen. Fans.

Go. Get. A. Fucking. Job.

You call that artwork ??

Second rant of the night here, not about the album, but rather about the fans....

First was from the Aussie Droomer, and now you....

You know what the common denominators are? Regardless of the fact that you're both big VH fans, and that's cool as hell, YOU'RE BOTH KIDS.....

You guys do not have 1/10th of the time invested in this band like we do, it's that simple....

If you've experienced getting screwed over by this band for the better part of what, 19 years (since '96, let's say), then you'll know EXACTLY what we're talking about.....

So look at it in our point of view.....

[ELVIS]

It at least has the novelty interest of being Daves only official live album.

What a horrible thought...

You should be BANNED !!

[DONNIEP]

Are you fuckin kidding me? This coming from the kid who threatens to kill people cause they post some shit about Sammy or Kiss or some shit on YouTube?? And he wants to talk about positivity now?? What the fuck you think this is - some kind of support group?

[TFM_Dale]

But you can't say I'm wrong though. There has honestly been such little positivity and sanity in the Van Halen fanbase I'd say ever since Tattoo came out. Now hating DLR/Van Halen is the hip thing to do.

They are releasing one of the worst live shows they have ever done as a live album when they have HUNDREDS of better shows they could choose from. If they want to do a Classic VH through the years box set and include this show than fine, but on its own is bullshit.
