All-Encompassing Van Halen New Album / Interscope Thread

[POJO_Risin]

The Rhino site lists a handful of Roth era VH remasters coming out (again)...which could be interpreted as some sort of activity, I guess. WARNING: The site has some sort of FLASH nonsense that bogs out you plug in if you are using Firefox. RHINO LINK

Still waiting to hear from or latest poster as to where his info came from. As VA said..."tick, tock...". Wow, I feel so enlightened.

Yeah...like the original six-pack remasters?

[Terry]

Fuck rumors.

There's been too many of them concerning Van Halen to get psyched up for anything that may or may not happen down the road, and since Cherone left the band 11 years ago there have been upwards of (off the top of my head) a dozen or so widely spread scenarios regarding what "the band is gonna do" that have turned out to be not even close to the mark...95% of the time Van Halen ended up doing nada.

The only informed sources that matter are the current members of the band, and they're not talking.

Whatever happens, happens.

[chefcraig]

Yeah...like the original six-pack remasters?

It lists three albums due in December...WACF, 1984 and VH II. I don't get it...they are reissuing the remasters, or are they remastering them a second time?

EDIT: Come to find out, these are vinyl releases. part of a shitload of Warner Bros. stuff getting released in this format for around 25 bucks per album.

Damn...I wonder how much I can get for my original albums...not that I'd sell them...

I have that in my truck right now. I burned it myself a few months ago. The only difference is the 1st few tracks on mine are Unchained, Panama & Dance The Night Away. (It's my morning wake-up with coffee cd)

Yup, and all of mine were purchased first day of sale, so it's possible they might be worth something. But like you, no way I'd part with them.

Over at the Links, they're hinging on every word coming from Andrew...

You know, because Tasmania is the center of the music world.....

Yep. I burned my own "Best of Van Halen" volumes 1&2 CD's years ago for road trip convenience (and not having any Hagar songs in the mix). Funny thing is when you burn the Van HALEN catalog onto 2 80 minute CD's, it takes up most of the 6 pack. Though I actually used a couple songs from the Zero demo in the mix rather than from the first album. RWTD & On Fire, if I remember correctly. Plus I also used that version of House of Pain, which in my humble opinion blows away the 1984 version. Damned if I know why that never made the first album.

[POJO_Risin]

I actually have a CD that I listen to every morning, with just Mean Street, Unchained, So This is Love, I'm the One and Take Your Whiskey Home

rinse...repeat..

In 2000...we had a release sent to us, complete with the Warner Bros. heading...about a new tour with Roth, starting with an appearance at the MTV music awards. I had a friend that worked for WB distribution in Nashville who said, "Damn, that looks like the real deal."

Brownsound and hain (webbies here at the time...Brownie still is) and I thought it was the real deal...

Of course...it wasn't...

But there has been some good stuff to come down the pipe since 1996...

Fuck, I remember that shit. I think I still have captures of that fake WB letterhead, and the artwork and whatever else that troll put up as his "evidence". Unfortunately, it's probably on the same dead hard drive that has all my pics of the 2002 Gorge show and a whole lot of other shit that I'll never actually see again

You know what...that wasn't an Army thing...it was an EUAS thing. We got it because of our movement on the Links...right?

Long time ago...fuck...

[Etienne]

I would like the title "BOLD".

[SunisinuS]

I would like the title "BOLD".

Only problem is that Dave so far would never title an album like this. Subconsciously or not it does not sound like his normal call. So it looks like it....hmmm feels like it......smells like it.....tastes like it.....Damn, good thing we didn't step in it! Perhaps "Bold" might be a compromise with Eddie as they are a "Band" now. But, Ego's aside, Eddie has not been known for his command of the english language.

[chefcraig]

"BOLD" could be an acronym for "Best Of Lonesome Dave", but that would make it a Foghat album.

My personal association goes more with - Axis: Bold As Love - Jimi Hendrix
