Oh Christ on fucking toast!!! Super Bowl talk? Again?
I'm becoming convinced that people purposely hardwire themselves for disappointment.
I'd be impressed if they actually did a "World Tour" and played for the overseas Van Halen fans. The half-time show doesn't mean jack shit anymore. Stop punishing yourself!
" three van halens and a roth...
dare any of us wish for more.
and now that we have it, wanna change it?
me neither".
Not me ... Am loving what we got ... Long may it continue

fuck your fucking framing
Jim Florentine just tweeted that Van Halen is playing the super bowl FWIW...not that it means anything because he tweeted it
geezus hambone, get another F%#@ hambone in to ya!!
Screw the Super Bowl - I want unreleased concert videos and demos and video of old studio recordings and outtakes from videos and anything else they have on tape all the way up 'til Dave split. I want it all and I want it to come in a big ass red/white/black striped box that takes two big dudes to carry off the UPS truck.
American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.
i want one of them
Maybe Florentine picked up on it from a blurb that Florio did at PFT.
Florio looks like a Hagar fan... fuck him! Sellout bitch!
I agree. During the lean years when we were desperate for anything it was a yearly pipe dream, but now not so much.
Same ole song and dance...
Why all the SuperBowl hate?
It's a high profile gig and Classic Van Halen is as Americana as the fucking SuperBowl itself.
Oh fuck I hope not. Doing the Super bowl is as lame as doing a Burger King commercial. Last Super Bowl performance that was worth a shit was Prince...ya I said Prince.
No one deserves to do it more than the Mighty Ones, but it would be a disservice to them because half of humanity wouldn't "get it".
" You ever notice when I scream I sound like Mr. Bill on acid" DLR
No hate. I think it would be cool if it happens. But if not, no biggie.
Hands down the most cringe-worthy quote of the year !!
Once again --- Ed reduces the world's greatest frontman to just a dude who owned his PA system.
I gotta tell ya --- when it comes to self-absorbed rocker scumbags --- there's Gene Simmons, then Spamborita Haggis, and finally Eddie Van Weirdo!
Ya, but it just so "mainstream" now. Maybe if the did a classic trashing of the venue and caused a small riot like in the old days then I'd be for it.
Yeah but he hits the buffet table like a dervish ---- type II diabetes can kill you just as fast as booze or cancer sticks, Ed !!
It was a joke nitwit.Hands down the most cringe-worthy quote of the year !!

Maybe if they parachuted onto the stage huh.....
Wow, you truly hate Ed huh.....lmao......your an angry one...........Yeah but he hits the buffet table like a dervish ---- type II diabetes can kill you just as fast as booze or cancer sticks, Ed !!
I never got any of that .....its a bloke who is over the moon and very proud of his son .. that interview screamed that .Hands down the most cringe-worthy quote of the year !!

The quote about the singer didnt bother me .. of course ed would prefer this to be a family affair but he wouldnt be playing the crowds he is now without dave.
For ed this tour is more about wolf than we get, man he even said dave was witty and funny thats ed gushing
Hey am not saying ed aint been a dick in the past but he came across ok , he is laughing and smiling more than he has in twenty years or more and its giving us abit of a vh indian summer ... fuck it he is a proud parent ,
Because this topic rears its ugly head every goddamn year, and it never happens. The people who select the performers end up picking the Black Eyed fuckin' Peas or some other act that smells like unwashed ass. Fuck 'em!
If they actually went overseas, they could actually play for the fans they have there, and their Van Halen experience won't be limited to YouTube videos. Plus the band could loosen up the show a little bit and throw some random covers in there...like they use to with "Beer Drinkers", "Heartbreak Hotel", and "Summertime Blues". That kicked ass and it looked like they were having fun.
The value of the Super Bowl half-time show has diminished with time. It means almost nothing anymore. Forget about it.
Problem with the Super Bowl is that we all have embedded in our memory banks Aerosmith and Britney and whomever else getting the chance to kill Walk this Way.
Nobody wants Madonna and Gaga with VH killing Jump.
It's not Superbowl hate, just the horror of what it could become.
You take a tune like Romeo Delight or Light Up the Sky, that goes perfect on its own with any sporting event. High octane music goes with sports like McDonalds and High Fructose Corn Syrup.
I just don't see it as "something big" nor anything special. It would be nice as a fan of the band... Sure... global exposure and all that.
But 12-15 minutes in a slapped together, canned, over produced made for TV bullshit entertainment fest... just don't excite me. Won't be any deep cuts, special set selection and damn sure nothin new... Well maybe Dave will have a new glittery matador jacket... and hat...
What do we hear... Jump, DTNA and maybe Tattoo. Doubt the TV folks would even allow Runnin With the Devil...
"If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”
the good thing is it could open the band up to a diverse audience who may not have seen how good they are.
plus it would constipate hagar further.
Panama, Hot For Teacher
HFT would get nixed... women's groups would claim it demoralizes women and depicts them as sex objects. Teacher's unions would cringe given all the high profile sex with minors cases... Too politically edgy for a vanilla TV crowd.
Hot for Student has been the trend for the last few years, so HFT would be way off limits today. At the time HFT was cool, but today... Just imagine the horror and controversy it would cause.
That I would not want to miss!
Oh dude, for some awful reason Nancy Grace was on several years ago. She was talking about the hot blonde teacher that had had sex with her high school student and the trial. Anyways, the bumper music as they come back from commercial was Hot For Teacher. Nancy was clearly pissed about it and apologized saying she did not approve that song and someone would be getting a talk to after the show. but it fit perfect. lol. Uptight bitch. That teacher WAS hot.
“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”
And Nancy Grace is an evil, bitter cow. Who DOESN'T like "Hot for Teacher"???
while we're jerking ourselves off....
Super Bowl setlist...
RWTD, She's the Woman, Panama, ATBL
David Lee Roth's the greatest motherfucker who ever lived!

I know... in the context of the mid-80's HFT was a perfect fit for the times and really quite innocent then and now. But the cultural views have obviously changed and people get worked up over silly shit that's not warranted in the first place. Such is the 21st century...
Given the last 5 years... A VH Super Bowl performance would probably start off with Dance The Night Away... choreographed with a bunch of kids dancing around the stage and maybe some Dancing With the Stars celeb's kickin up on a side stage. Then maybe Tattoo with some artsy light show. Then maybe a short montage thing with a verse from Panama, Cradle Will Rock, Unchained and half of Eruption... then close it out with Jump and some choreographed geeky dance/jump fest by the crew of Glee...
Afterwards all of us hardcore VH fans can go puke and resume drinking ourselves into oblivion for the damn embarrassment we just experienced and want to wipe from our minds.
Well everyone except Mr Walker... he'd be doing a happy dance on his roof the rest of the night!!
This is probably the best thing that could come from them doing the Super Bowl.
I'd much rather see them headline another US Festival type gig, than do the SB.
Or better yet, make all the suits and stuffed shirts at the game watch another stale boring halftime show inside the stadium, and show VH live from one of their shows, to the tv audience.
wonder what the payday is for the SB ?
Yeah --- and the joke about "We only needed Dave because of his PA system" has been perpetuated by Ed and Alex for 35 years now.
Revoke your membership to the Wolfgang Nutsack Nuzzlers Society, dumbo --- it's your only hope.
I know everyone has been lobbying for Pretty Woman to be replaced with something better (bitch, bitch, bitch) but from perspective of mainstream familiarity, this could be thrown in the mix with some smokin' hot cheerleaders decked out in franken striped attire.
It's OK to gush about your son ---- but don't do it at the expense of a legendary frontman who was at least 50% responsible for making your little band into a rock icon.
"We only hired Dave because he owned his PA system" lost it's funny around 1986 ---- now Ed and Al just look like delusional assholes when they repeat that shit over and over.
Perpetuated by saying they love him like a brother? If you say so. I think you're holding a grudge that Dave himself doesn't hold. Al elaborates beyond the PA story you cherish so much in the Early Years documentary. He new Dave was what they needed.
Without David Lee Roth, Eddie would have been just another George Lynch, Vito Bratta, Jake E Lee, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Tony MacAlpine, Marty Friedman, and hundreds of others type. All great guitarists but not rock legends & household names.It's OK to gush about your son ---- but don't do it at the expense of a legendary frontman who was at least 50% responsible for making your little band into a rock icon.

It aint Van Halen without Eddie, but it aint legendary without Diamond Dave.
Man they all said shit about each other ..... If ur gonna hold the past against them and let it spoil the now .... Your gonna miss the now ... Am not denying it didn't happen am just listening to what there saying now ....
It requires a degree of acceptance
