Fuck It. I Went To The "Supposed" Source

[ALMOSTsaved]

Like everyone else here, I'm sick of the bullshit rumors and supposed "scoop" from "inside sources." So, I took matters into my own hands and just E Mailed Ed's porn star / publicist / girlfriend at her website with the following message. I know good and goddamn well it won't do a bit of good...but fuck it.

Dear Janie,

As the publicist for Eddie Van Halen, I would think that of all people, YOU should be making some kind of announcement regarding the statust of your client's supposed upcoming tour / career. Enough is enough already. What IS the deal? If the band is at ALL in contact with the internet, then I'm sure they must know that all of the underwhelming publicity surrounding their "comeback", not to mention their silence regarding the "postponement" of the tour is actually killing any and all hope that the few remaining fans have. In other words, the band, as well as you is dropping the ball.

For those interested, her E Mail Address is:

janie@janiesgotagun.com (perhaps Steven Tyler & Joe Perry should sue her for royalties regarding the name of her site).

AS, major kudos for writing to Janie and giving her the low down on what's happening in many eyes of the CVH fans (or of those that are left?). After all, we are the "investors" - without us, no ticket sales. We determine who big, how small the venue really is. A PR should know this and YES, it's a whole lot different to represent a legendary band vs. Ron Jeremy & Tera Patrick. Apples v. Kumquats.

Silencing the rumors about the delay, should be a priority, despite the underlying circumstances of the delay. VH is becoming the laughing stock of Rock, both in the media and fan base.

The longer VH waits to make a statement, the fan base is losing hope, momentum and any iota of excitement to attend the Summer/Fall Tour that "Will Happen", and then there are those who done left the creek, cuz it already ran dry.

Thank you, bantonelli. You're right, as an investor for over 25 years now, I feel that information on the product in which I'm investing should be made readily available. I never thought I'd see the day where I actually had to DEFEND my love for CVH. This is just unreal. If, Janie actually DOES read the E Mail, I'm sure she'll just delete it immediately. I get the feeling she knows absolutely NOTHING regarding the history of this once unstoppable band. It's just a paycheck for her...something she probably doesn't need now since she's leeched on to EVH.

As an investor myself, it's about time we start seeing some dividends payoff. As history has shown, the market always rebounds and investments are usually long term deals-the higher the risk the bigger the return. However, the bigger the risk the bigger the loss. So I think it's time for VH to rebound and correct itself and start paying their lont time investors with a nice return.

Very well stated!

Thank you kind sir.

Nice one, ALMOSTsaved! Why didn't we think of doing that??? Please post her response IF she does in fact respond to your e-mail. It'll be very interesting to see what she has to say. If she doesn't respond, then we'll know she's nothing more than a money grabbing twat with no regard for the important job she has screwed her way into. Right now for VH, positive public relations is CRITICAL! Everyone is watching the band's every move with a judgemental eye.
Has this fact even dawned on Pornwhore?
In my opinion, she's already failed miserably in her new "position." Maybe she should just return to the position she's most adept... ON HER GODDAMN BACK!

I can't believe Dave is tolerating this bullshit.
What in fuck's sake is going on here????

[ALMOSTsaved]

Oh I most certainly plan on posting her response. I guaran-fucking-tee you that when VH was in their prime the only songs she knew were probably the radio hits. VH needs a publicist that wants to celebrate the band as much as any die hard fan. Like I said earlier, she'll probably just send the E Mail to the trash and never EVER mention it to anyone in the band. After all, it would prove her incompetence. I swear if I didn't know any better I'd believe this bitch is secretly married to Ray Daniels and this is his final way of ruining the VH legacy.

[Venom Thrust]

That's not her real e-mail address!

[ALMOSTsaved]

Well because I don't know her personally, I can only go by the E Mail Address that says, "Contact Me" on her official site....And even if it's NOT her E Mail address, it felt so fucking good at least attempting to get the point across to her "clueless" ass. Remember, I never claimed that it would do any good.

[ELVIS]

Oh, so you think this pron slut should be the one making an announcement ??

Wrong!

I don't imagine even drunk Edward is dumb enough for that...

Any internet or public announcement needs to come from the band or Dave...


You guys need to hold yer horses...

Dave is in Van Halen...

[ALMOSTsaved]

I believe as a publicist, yes, she should be ENCOURAGING a statement from the band. However, I just don't think she gives a fuck or realizes the gravity of the situation. Yes, I believe Dave is still in, but even he should be making a statement...unless of course this is all just part of the plan. If that's the case, it's completely forgiveable.

What if all the talk of 'on again, off again' and the rumoured 'no-show' at the RRHOF is all just to garner the interest and check their relevance. Long shot, I know, but they may surprise us all and make the announcement at the induction ceremony and perform a hell of a show there at the same time.

[twonabomber]

investors? LOL.

you bought a product, and that's where your involvement ends. you're free to walk away...or make an ass of yourself, which, by calling yourself an "investor," you're doing.

[ALMOSTsaved]

I believe the "investor" analogy was open for interpretation. However, I do know that I've invested money in the band (yes by purchasing products, concert tickets) and I've invested time and belief in a band that I still HOPE will bring it full circle sometime in the near future.
