Here's The Latest in VH Land.....

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Just had a great conversation with our DDE contact....

Here's how fucking surreal this has been for me... I call her, we're talking for a few minutes, and then she tells me she has to hang up, Dave is calling !! She called back, talked a while more, she's been up all night editing video...

Met both WARF and GreenEyedMurder at the show... Hilarious describing how pumped WARF was !!

The band is still in NYC, although some are leaving today... Dave is leaving tomorrow...

MUCH more video to come... The band had 3 cameras there, they're in the process of converting it all, so get ready for that...

They also taped the soundcheck, and a session at S.I.R. studios.....

That's it for now....

[Vinnie Velvet]

That is so awesome! Thanks Va.

[Zing!]

Jesus H. Christ. I must be dreaming. Is this Van Halen we're talking about?

I would be telling that story to my grandkids, Va. It would be passed down from generation to generation.

"I have to hang up, Dave is calling."

A phone call cut short by Diamond David Lee Roth. Damn...

[GreenEyedMurder]

It just keeps getting better!

[neuralfraud]

No; it's Van Kick ASS! :D

How cool would it be for them to just start plastering videos and shit like this? Well they had camera's in 2k7/2k8 too and we're still hoping some of that footage might make it to DVD and of course the indications are that it may well happen..

could it be they're gearing up some kick ass content for a REAL website?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Don't know about that, but I'd bet that we'll get one of those videos exclusively...

How long they remain exclusive is another issue, but at least it'll be originally....

[jhale667]

Just awesome! I knew there was a reason we stuck around here all these years! :baaa:

Uh huhu uhuhuuhhuh uhhu huh hhuhuhu....Cheap Gin & Hubris!!!!

The ROTH ARMY proves once again that it is the HOME of CLASSIC VAN HALEN

[fourthcoming]

As soon as I headr they signed with Interscope because of the insistance of Dave, I had a good feeling. Chickenshit can do all the grass roots promotion they want but Jimmy Iovine is no dummy. Billboards in times square for millions to see, a professionally shot live show from a 250 seat venue in NYC.....I have a feeling VH is going to be promoted like a mofo under their new label. It might be just me being optimistic, but Dave finally, once again seems like a full fledged member of the band and that can mean nothing but good things to come.The fact that the venue they chose to play last night has ties to Dave's family proves that he's no longer a silent minority member but rather the rutter of the ship.

[Jagermeister]

We have so many threads up now I don't know where to post anything. Ticketmaster has info up now.

[VH Drummer]

And most of the shows are pretty reasonably priced, seems to be even a little cheaper than 2007/8.

[Von Halen]

Sounds like the VH machine might be finally getting the importance of sites like this, and the internet in general.

[Jagermeister]

And most of the shows are pretty reasonably priced, seems to be even a little cheaper than 2007/8.

Yeah. Some are $165. Walker MSG goes on sale the 10th it looks like. :bigwink:

[Matt White]

Hopefully MILWAUKEE is on the 2nd leg of the tour....

SUMMERFEST would be too much to ask for.....................................

[Guitar Shark]

We have so many threads up now I don't know where to post anything.

I'm gonna sticky this thread, at least for the time being. Folks, please try to just post new information in here, and save the commentary for other threads. Thanks!

Praying to god Cleveland gets a shot

Cleveland loves CVH! Crowd went apeshit the last time the boys were here!

[Rikk]

If she's editing up all night, must be a bonus disc for the album. I fuckin' hope so. That would be an amazing package...the album on Disc 1, the DVD on Disc 2 in the Deluxe set.

I never thought I'd be more jealous of a non-VH member than that lucky kid who won the "Lost Weekend with Van Halen" MTV contest in 1984 ---- but WARF is giving him a run for his money!

It's like a dream and I don't want to wake up... Holy shit Dave's people are amazing! VH with a proper marketing push, go figure!

[WACF]

Awesome to see they are attempting to do this right.

Great to see clips fo what looks like a healthy Eddie and a band that can work together.

[don don]

Thanks Va for the update...we're all so freakin' stoked!

[WARF]

Alright you rowdy motherfuckers....

I am still in awe from the simple fact Van Halen blew my fucking head off last night....

Beyond Epic...

Review is coming up....

[Jagermeister]

No info yet but I read that blabber deal closley and this is where the VIP stuff will be sold.

http://vipnation.com/programs/van-halen/

[Angel]

Next time you're talking to them, tell them they've got room to throw in Regina between Winnipeg and Edmonton...and then remind them that Mick Jagger calls it "The city that rhymes with fun". :bigwink:...Hey, I'm desperate, I'll try anything!!!

[Rikk]

Fucking A.

Cannot wait to read this sucker.

You lucky, lucky son of a bitch.

[Catfish]

He's still writing the review because he's still gathering info from all the online reviews so he can further invent the show in his head.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

No info yet but I read that blabber deal closley and this is where the VIP stuff will be sold.

http://vipnation.com/programs/van-halen/

I got $100 that says that, just like last tour, NONE of the VIP passes will specifically include a Meet & Greet with the band....

Which is absolute horseshit for the amount of money that those things cost....

I would seriously consider getting one if I got to meet the band, but I'm not shelling out $500 to get some cheap VH swag, eat some chicken wings and drink a couple of beers....

No sir....

[if6was9]

No Europe this time. Again.

[sadaist]

No Europe this time. Again.


It looks as if the US dates end in time for the main part of summer when all the European festivals kick into high gear. Give it time. I have a strong feeling this tour will be a lot bigger than the dates posted so far. Especially when the album pops out next month & overseas sales are strong.

[Jagermeister]

Nothing really new here except some art work for tatoo which may have been posted already. Fuck if I know.

That answered my burning question from last night's show.

[Grit]

I was thinking the same thing. Could you imagine Van Halen at Summerfest in Milwaukee! How KICK ASS would that be? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE :hitch:

[fryingdutchman]

I agree. I gotta believe they would do more than one show in Philly.

And thanks for all the information VA...the hits just keep on comin'...

[chi-town324]

i couldn't sleep last night ..thinking about the Feb 24 show and April 1st show in Chicago!!! this is like a dream!!

[High Life Man]

Hopefully MILWAUKEE is on the 2nd leg of the tour....

Fits perfectly. Hoping this happens!

Looks like Dave has the right people in place to represent him as he should be represented. That includes "our" (I love that!) DDE contact, VA, Poj, GEM, WARF and every single die-hard Roth Fan here. All of us.

Whoa...Whoa...WHOA!!!

WTF is James C McKinley talking about??? I hope Daves sues the living FUCK out of him.

I saw McKinleys same article in the NYTimes and that 'part' wasn't there. Possibly Metal Sludge found it funny to add that? If so, they will be the ones feeling the wrath of truth.

Hmmmmmm...... Will they release the whole thing ? I'm so joneain for this show snatchin youtubes and thinking about putting together by own multicam

[Antman]

In all defense of Metal Sludge, they do rag on a lot of bands, but are always cool about VH. They often post from other sources and give the credit. Anything they add is usually highlighted in red.

[Sensible Shoes]

Yeah that'll be highlighted in red real soon - by lawyers.

[Sensible Shoes]

In spite of this guy's very blatant attempt to get his ASS SUED, the article points up just how fucking special it was that WARF and Greeneyedmurder got into this gig:

"Outside, some fans grumbled it would have been nice if the band had done a second date in the club and let the hoi poloi buy tickets. “Even a lottery would have been better than this,” said one fan, who gave his name only as Tony. Others said they had called everyone they knew in an effort to get on the list, to no avail. Still, they lingered outside in the chill, hoping the band would let a few extra people in, then hung around the back door to hear what they could. “That’s what we do,” said Kimberly Barnhill, 21, an aspiring singer. “We wait in the cold weather for our band.” "

Somebody tell Tony and Kimberly to join the Roth Army!

[Antman]

If anything he's openly awesome...

http://bigjournalism.com/tag/james-c-mckinley-jr/

Yeah, according to Wikipedia (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/James_C._McKinley,_Jr.), this guy is a low class douchenozzle all the way....


On March 8, 2011, The New York Times published an article by McKinley on the brutal rape of an eleven-year-old girl in the East Texas town of Cleveland. The story prompted outrage not only because of the crime involved - a gang rape perpetrated by 18 boys and men - but also because of how McKinley framed the piece. That framing included relying heavily on quotes from individuals who blamed the victim, scant attention to reporting details on the boys and men involved, and an overemphasis on the impoverished environment where the assault occurred.

On March 11, 2011, The New York Times' public editor Artur R. Brisbane wrote that he found that the outrage was understandable. He found that the piece lacked critical balance by relying heavily on quotes from individuals who expressed concern for the perpetrators, as well as detailing the victim's appearance. McKinley and The New York Times, Brisbane determined, created an impression that the victim "had it coming". Brisbane never interviewed McKinley, nor his editors, before writing his column.

On March 29, 2011, the times published a second article by McKinley and Erica Goode that delved more deeply into the criminal backgrounds of many of the alleged rapists as well as the family of the victim. The second article left no doubt the girl was the victim of a horrendous crime.

[kwame k]

Cool, now I don't feel so bad about bringing down the Thunder on this douche bag!

[GreenEyedMurder]

I wonder if someone thought they were being funny and inserted that into the copy, assuming it would be spotted and removed. I've seen that happen (where it was removed) when I was a sportswriter (sports dept full of practical jokers) at a daily paper.

[Sensible Shoes]

I can't believe somebody would do that with the potential for a lawsuit - oh wait - I worked in TV News - yes I can.

[Halen High]

I know....I'm still thinking this is a dream and waiting to wake up!

HA HA! I was thinking the same thing. I better not wake up and discover none of this is fucking happening!

[VAiN]

Was the article modified? I don't see anything worth getting upset about anywhere near the 5th paragraph....

There was no way to sneak in to see Van Halen on Thursday. Metal barriers had been set up around the front door of Cafe Wha? on Macdougal Street, and a team of bouncers and promoters was checking the driver’s license of everyone in line to make sure they were on a carefully selected list of guests. Several police officers had been assigned by the local precinct to control whatever crowds developed.

What am I missing?

[Sensible Shoes]

He called Dave "Openly gay frontman"

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Yes, they "corrected" it, but they made up a bullshit excuse for the "correction".....

[JJtheVagPounder]

He called Dave "Openly gay frontman"

Wow. What an asshole.

[Sensible Shoes]

Indeed. How rude.

[VAiN]

He called Dave "Openly gay frontman"

Well damn.. what the fuck??? Someone's getting a roundhouse to the dome...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Just a short update:

Can't get into any details right now, but there are some other events involving the band being planned prior to the release of the ADKOT album on Feb. 7th... Not necessarily public events, but events nonetheless....

I'm also checking on whether we'll be receiving any video from DDE from the Cafe Wha? show....

Excellent as always! Thanks, VA!

[CDABOAT1]

VA Beach VH Fan,

Do you know any reason why VH isn't doing any sort of a public release for the new CD? Would they not do some sort of a radio premiere? Cafe Wha was great, but only played to a small audience. I know it created a lot of buzz.. but wouldn't they do something for the public with the release and prior to the tour?

Thanks,

Dennis

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Cafe Wha? may have been a "press event", but it succeeded in stirring the VH pot once again....

Reviews of their performance, as well as publicity for the upcoming album release and tour, were all over the music websites and newspaper Entertainment sections....

Not to mention the dozens of videos all over the 'Net....

So in essence, that was certainly for the public....

Now, I agree that I think while their PR machine, while outstanding so far, could be doing even more, in terms of social media....

But right now, they've played their cards pretty fucking well, in my half-assed opinion....

[Angel]

For Christ sakes, don't miss more classes... Absolutely nothing imminent....No to worry, I never go to the first class in a term. All they do is "syllabus, blah, blah, blah". Thankfully all the news broke in the first week of the term. :D Besides, isn't that what work is for (surfing this site?) :beers8:

[POJO_Risin]

Rarely do Va and I agree on much of anything past the Steelers, Penguins and Van Halen...

but I agree with him 100%...

They've managed to tight rope the fine line of overboard and underboard...they are swelling the media not with shit they are saying or not saying...

they are swelling the media with their music...and going after the fans, more than anything...

It's pretty brilliant...so either thank VH for their sudden withitness...or ride on over to interscope, knock on their door, and whoever answers...give them a big hug...

It doesn't take much...just an understanding of the social media...

[Angel]

Not to mention the dozens of videos all over the 'Net.... That, I'm sure was intentional...only reason you would allow small cameras in a venue.

[GreenEyedMurder]

That, I'm sure was intentional...only reason you would allow small cameras in a venue.

Yes, it was probably intentional. But on the other hand, no way in hell could they have stopped people from taking in our phones, or stopped people from filming and snapping pics, especially up front where it was SO packed in tight.

[Angel]

Cheap advertising. Buy the drinks, put on a show, say bring your cameras... and voila. :D

[CDABOAT1]

Thanks VA and the folks who responded... appreciate your input. Makes sense. The ONE thing that I do want is for the band to do some interviews. It would be great to hear from them personally, talk about the writing and recording process, what went into getting the songs arranged, etc. Agree?

That's a double-edged sword with this band...that's when the egos start flying...

Who really knows how much they do or don't get along...and the more they talk...the more shit that could hit the fan...

While I agree...I'd love to hear interviews (and I'm sure we'll get bombed with print interviews), I'd rather they keep their pieholes shut, and let the music do the talking...

1 - I WANT TO HEAR/SEE INTERVIEWS! - absolutely

problem - interviewers have a nasty habit of opening old wounds. Old quotes, Sammy, Michael, 1986, 1996, 2000, MTV and Daves cup, Chickenfoot, & on & on & on.....

I don't know if I trust Eddie enough that he is strong enough to handle opened wounds. Guy is a serious grudge holder. Now Dave on the other hand, he is a master wordsmith & spin doctor and can answer any question without really answering it.

[binnie]

It's my understanding that the press rounds for a new record happen a couple of months in advance. If they'd been doing press, pretty sure we'd have picked up on snippets of it now via Blabbermouth or some such site......

I've been hoping maybe there's some of the video from the interviews/war stories of days gone by coming on The Downtown Sessions... Seems 4 acoustic cuts, while stellar no doubt, might be just one possible ingredient on the bonus DVD. Any thoughts?

[clarathecarrot]

There were two or three audio clips that were posted at this site, soon after Roth and The DDE video was posted here, before Cafe Wha? gig.

I am not certain, but I bet these audio cuts are from those, Bonus traks.

Exactly... You know they probably HDd those chats, and there has to be way more than a minute about this or 30 seconds about that. I say lay it on us! That would truly be a Deluxe Edition!

So... VH will show footage from Cafe Wha? huh.. Does this mean we'll all see future Van Halen CLASSIC Footage like Oakland '81? :D

I am not so much a nostalgia nut as others, I want the new stuff man..!!!..,but I would buy some of -the vaults- things that is for sure!

Maybe they panned the audience with a camera... and there I was, 15 rows back .. standing all concert long back in 78' with some girl on my shoulders while she showed the band her tits.

[clarathecarrot]

I am down for whattever they retail out that is in refference to DLR back up front even, 07 footage. I will have to call it there on my foolish spend thrift ways, more than likely. Releasing vault material is the golden goose around here and with, perhaps any music fan that digs R&R or just digs timeline travel musical retrospectives.

problem - interviewers have a nasty habit of opening old wounds. Old quotes, Sammy, Michael, 1986, 1996, 2000, MTV and Daves cup, Chickenfoot, & on & on & on.....

I don't know if I trust Eddie enough that he is strong enough to handle opened wounds. Guy is a serious grudge holder. Now Dave on the other hand, he is a master wordsmith & spin doctor and can answer any question without really answering it.

I would *love* to interview them -- and I have a ton of questions to ask, none of which would open old (or new) wounds. As a journalist who's also a fan, that would be awesome.

I am not so much a nostalgia nut as others, I want the new stuff man..!!!..,but I would buy some of -the vaults- things that is for sure!

Maybe they panned the audience with a camera... and there I was, 15 rows back .. standing all concert long back in 78' with some girl on my shoulders while she showed the band her tits.
I guess you're right, new stuff is what we want, but also classic shit wouldn't hurt. I can remeber the first time I saw VH... March 30th 1984, Madison Square Garden, I was 17 years old, best time o' my life! THOSE WERE DAMN GOOD TIMES

[IceCreamBlondie]

So... VH will show footage from Cafe Wha? huh.. Does this mean we'll all see future Van Halen CLASSIC Footage like Oakland '81? :D

Now, that would be something.....!!! Time to open up the vaults....

[FORD]

Given all the archive releases from other classic rock bands now signed to Universal Music Group labels, I would not at all be surprised if something from the VH vaults sees the light of day in the near future.

Maybe they'll even have a website similar to this one day ------>http://www.stonesarchive.com/

[Dave's Bitch]

something like kissology would be cool.Van Halenology would be very cool,perhaps think of a different name though

I'd be a blubbering idiot, not unlike the way I usually am... ;)

There were two or three audio clips that were posted at this site, soon after Roth and The DDE video was posted here, before Cafe Wha? gig.

I am not certain, but I bet these audio cuts are from those, Bonus traks.

Ed talks about a junk car he modified to hold his equip back in the club days and such.

Once I have my pad, pen, and digital voice recorder with me, I'm actually quite the professional.
Back when I was a sportswriter, I got to interview more than a few famous people and I just focused on making sure I did my job and didn't embarrass myself. :D

That is a sad place, my personal blog thread got thrown in there ..alas she is morte' .no more caput...smote in twain..alas...:baby:

The interviews I was taking about are somewhere..? in this thread ..? a couple audio clips.

[Panamark]

VA, We want all handwritten lyrics from Dave for every track, studio shenanigans, tablature for Ed's new stuff and
every word they have uttered in 2012 whilst a microphone was turned on. Plus an exclusive 20 question interview
with Dave, 20 best questions picked from here. Oh and bonus VIP passes for our members. :biggrin:

Will hit you with the difficult requests later :)

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I'll get right on that.... ;)

Although that 20 question thing is intriguing, I must say....

[ZahZoo]

How's progress on Panamark's project going..?

Got an update, yet? :winkglasses:

[Zing!]

What the hell is wrong with Van Halen? They haven't told us a damn thing in like four days.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

You're gonna hear about something in about a week or so, if not sooner....

'Bout all I can say right now, sorry....

Is Al Roker going to be booked on another flight with Alex Van Halen this week?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

No, but you can shrink that pic any day now....

[Roth & Roll]

No, but you can shrink that pic any day now....

Just saw your request in another thread - didn't see it sooner. It's gone. You could have just PM'ed me if it was a problem.
Thx!

I like Marks idea :thumb:

to make it easier....you can leave out the "every word they uttered in 2012" part...

...well, I mean...unless you can get it...

That the NFL came to their senses and realized a Madonna Half Time show for the Super Bowl was an epic brain fart and will be replaced by VH?

[ZahZoo]

Hear about it later... hmmm sounds familiar...

[sadaist]

That is a sad place, my personal blog thread got thrown in there

.

That makes me sad for you. I'm laughing right now at your post but with a sadness in my heart. I'll give you a thanks for that post, maybe help the boo-boo.

[Romeo Delight]

Info on stage configuration!!!

They showed a bit of a catwalk type thing on ed's side of the stage that was shaped like a hockey stick...and it went kind of towards the centre.

It was detailed on Ticket master when I bought my tix today

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Yeah, I saw that on locations too....

Kinda like a bent shaft.... ;)

[Sensible Shoes]

[ZahZoo]
