Just saw this on twitter....Wolfgang was nominated for best bassist in the Revolver Golden Gods. And guess who one of his competitors is?! You guessed it...hot sauce!!! We gotta vote for Wolfie!!! How awesome would that be?!

Mr Walker
02-22-2012, 05:09 PM
Come on fuckers... let's make a concerted effort to give this title to Wolfgang.
We all know that Wolf was instrumental in getting Ed and Dave back together.
The kid wants it, so let's do our best to give it to him... besides his bass playing is pretty kick ass on 'ADKOT' and so far on the tour.

@Wolfgang Van Halen
Wow!! I got nominated for best bassist at the revolver golden gods awards! Vote for me here!

voted for Wolfy, and if you ask me this is an arranged shit pissing contest that Sammy instigated since other than Sixx (probably put in to cloak it), all the other categories contain bands that are of a younger variety and lack the names recognition of an extended history for the most part

Ellifson deserves a shout...
Sixx, really? Fuck off.
Wolfie was the obvious choice.

There's a spot to vote for Ed ('Riff Lord') and the band ("Comeback of the Year") too.

Some of the shit in these categories...jeezus. Either I'm really old, or rock music is going to shit in a sugar sack - I think it's both.

How the fuck did Guns N Roses make it into "Best Live Band" category?

David Ellefson - bass player in Megadeth.

Dave Mustaine couldn't deal with there being 2 'Daves' in the band, so Ellefson became 'Jr'.

I was 10 when I first got into them, so I suppose so :D

Megadeth are easily one of the most influential bands in the history of heavy music. Pretty much every metal band after 1990 should pay an honourary royalty to Mustaine.

Not to mention the first Metallica albums too !

Sesh when I got into Megadeth I had hair way past my shoulders, loved Metallica too, hated metal bands that
looked like chicks, Poison, Cinderella, Faster Pussycat. They were Rockers who digged dressing up in womens clothing
and wearing Makeup. Were you one of those ?

Wolfie gets my vote, only cos Jr has years on him and probably has a cupboard full of such awards.

The kid makes it a point to post a thank you tweet after every show, was instrumental in getting Dave back with Ed, played on the new disc that everyone is pretty much apeshit over and I would guess it was his call to start rolling in a different classic every night on the tour... it might be a strain for some, but I don't think a few mouse clicks to show some appreciation is too much to ask.

Agreed. If you want the absolute, unbiased truth, you should always rely on melodi-crock.com, a time-proven source of non-hyperbole influenced, hard-hitting and unquestionably fact-based reporting. Particularly if you happen to be a fan of soul-stirring groups like the unforgivably underrated Survivor.

Everything went great until....remember in the Cinderella video where the guitarist throws his guitar way up & it loops over his head & back around the other side?....

Dig this: The Cinderella moment actually occurred for me one miserable night on stage, and I have a scar to prove it.

My band was playing yet another tiny, sweaty shithole here in "not-so-good-old" South Florida, which featured the by now typical postage stamp sized stage. Nonetheless, one of our two guitarists insisted upon using his (at that time) new wireless gizmo. This piece of crap worked quite well, until he went into a solo and it started playing an AM radio station's broadcast of a Miami Heat game.

The thing is, he only wore the piece of shit so he could pull off that dumb as a box of hammers "fling the guitar around the neck/Ain't I bitchin' as all hell?" move. Unfortunately (for me), the nitwit decided to do the stunt as I was standing roughly a foot and a half behind him. One moment, I'm trying to get a fix on the bass drum, next thing I know I'm getting the fucking living bejesus slammed out of the side of my skull with the dim-bulb's guitar headstock. Somewhat dazed, I finished the set only to later discover what I thought was sweat was in fact blood dripping from a two inch gash in the side of my head, which required stitches.

Yep, guitar players are fucking boneheads. I'm only thankful that the bone in my head was stronger than the neck of some imbecile's shred-o-matic, Japanese knock off.

I dunno man, but it seems that not so long ago it was Sarge's stance not to be involved in that sort of way...

I don't believe this to be true. But then again, what do I know?


You lose a bit of freedom that you have as just a fan site, and you might feel some pressure to say this or do that...

Comes with the territory. However, the Army will never be as censored as most "official" sites. Ever.




I do think that it's pretty cool that the Army has been involved with DDE but is it really necessary ??

Here's the difference between what went on previously, and what is going on now. Somebody in the Van Halen camp finally realized the internet is a promotional tool to be used as their ally. I will never forget the time when Dave was shown the DDLR site on a laptop in the studio, and his EX-MANAGER said to Dave, "Do you want me to have it shut down?". Why the fuck would they want to shut down something that is PROMOTING them? The allowance of video camera's, audio devices and DSLR's into the shows on this tour is further proof as to how different the attitudes in that camp are now. I like their philosophy. Flood the internet with more stuff than people know what to do with, and ultimately they will be the ones making the money. Not the bootleggers or picture pirates. This is why the Army will NEVER be as censored as most "official" sites. Sarge wouldn't allow that, and in this day and age, it just isn't necessary. DDE and VH have realized this. I applaud them.

Dig this: The Cinderella moment actually occurred for me one miserable night on stage, and I have a scar to prove it.

My band was playing yet another tiny, sweaty shithole here in "not-so-good-old" South Florida, which featured the by now typical postage stamp sized stage. Nonetheless, one of our two guitarists insisted upon using his (at that time) new wireless gizmo. This piece of crap worked quite well, until he went into a solo and it started playing an AM radio station's broadcast of a Miami Heat game.

The thing is, he only wore the piece of shit so he could pull off that dumb as a box of hammers "fling the guitar around the neck/Ain't I bitchin' as all hell?" move. Unfortunately (for me), the nitwit decided to do the stunt as I was standing roughly a foot and a half behind him.

Brethren and Sistren,

Voting for Wolfie is a moral imperative. He's done more to resurrect the No.1 rock band in history than ANY other single person in history! Name ANYONE else who had to survive his parents' divorce, get his dad clean and sober, learn all the classic tunes written before he was even born, ditch Sammy and Mike, force feed DLR Ritalin, help his mom lose weight, deal with all the online drama and bullshit, graduate from high school all at once...

Seriously, he's done more for family, friends, band, and fan base than anyone in history given all the headwinds against such an album, tour, execution, rehab, etc.

A simple vote.

When the current tour ends he'd be up early every morning draggin his dad and uncle into the studio to crank out the next record. Feed the beast... at least 25% of the band is young and hungry.
