Another Rumor...

[Unchainme]

"Warner Brothers has worked out a deal to issue a "Kissology" style DVD set of Van Halen material. It would be a multi-disc set with all early promotional videos, including Running With The Devil, You Really Got Me and Pretty Woman (which, as we all know, were left off the "Video Hits" release), the long-lost Showtime Concert, US Festival footage and various other odds and ends.

Basically, the idea is to make it a collection of pre-1984 Van Halen material, and go with the same idea as KISS did, which is that the quality of the footage isn't as important when you give them so much material."

This does seem plausible at this point and would be an Awesome kickass idea!

PLEASE GOD..LET THIS HAPPEN!

This, then a new album, then a public burning of a Sammy effigy
by the current band. You know it makes sense !

That would be Awesomeness X 1000000. Surely they have to release a DVD of the old stuff at some point. Look at the way fans are eating up the crappy YouTube clips. If they clean up some of the old clips I'm sure everyone would buy them even if they're not brilliant quality.

Um, sure, for those that don't have those videos already, I'm sure it'll be a great set...

But on first read, doesn't sound like there's very much stuff that fans can't readily get right now.....

The "Showtime concert" was just the overdubbed US Festival songs, was it not ??

Those other videos are not exactly "rare" either....

Am I missing something ??

[DlocRoth]

Yep...that's what I was thinking......

[thome]

Put it all in a box set and please have the footage be quality!!! I would throw a benjamin at this.

Add a current pro-shot of the set list(vid) from varied cities of this tour.

If you think about it DVDs are really the only way for them to make money other than touring and touring is fun but a pain in the ass.

If they release a new studio CD or a live CD set they won't make much money from it due to piracy.

However most people do not know how to pirate DVDs, so a DVD or DVD set would actually make good money for them.

They are probably waiting till after the tour so that people do not buy the DVDs instead of going to the concert.
