"If the American people had ever known the truth about what we (the BCE) have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched." - Poppy Bush, 1992
I woke up this morning and started doing chores to Peter Frampton 'Do You Feel'
Then the Van Halen Began...
Eruption at 8am in the cave with every angry device I own that can pump the jams. No, I am not sorry neighbors.
Then it was much, much more and still is a Van Halen Marathon at my pad.
Some of my brothers from the other mothers sent ole' JD =VH= concert vids that are now the main focus of the house. (nothing is subtle here, Jack)
Volume man, VOLUME!!!
Things are paused so I can refill my rum eggnog and talk to a man about a horse and I'm feeling pretty good about telling you cats to crank it when I see this thread title.
Heart skips a beat then.....DAMMIT JIM...speculation...
Nothing wrong with speculation, Holmes. It nearly killed me though.
There Can Be Only One
=VH=
The Mighty Van Halen should be the 2009 album title.
Fuck N A, Jack!
Now it's back to cleaning for my baby and cranking Van Halen for my Rock & Roll soul!
I could go for a new tour ... one with the whole classic line up ... not the same without Mike.
Heck, I'll even take another tour of what we just had. The Police made no bones about it...after the tour they were DONE. Even made a big production about it at the last show - had a fat lady come out & sing, etc... Sure I wanna see Mike up there and a true reunion, but if it was between Wolfie & nothing I'll take Wolfie and just toss ring dings to far stage right to keep him out of my line of sight for Dave & Ed.
“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”
What's your toughts
I think they are into something
Ed's probably into another case of Smoking Loon...
...far as actual new music with Dave that will be released for public consumption, well, we'll probably see yet another new, definitive, "THIS time I got it right/it's the guitar and sound I've been looking for all these years/all the other attempts were crap" EVH Signature Model guitar made by [insert manufacturer name here] long before any new tunes from 5150 with Roth at the helm.
Not Likely! I'd expect something rehashed before anything new came out. At best you might get a "Live at ..." CD or DVD, but I wouldn't expect anything new first. Besides, no new material was presented during the tour. What a wasted opportunity for promotion if there were any new material. Hope I am wrong!

As much as I'd like to see the original 4 - at this point in the game Mike is so far up spambo's ass he doesn't know which end is up. I saw VH 6 times in 07/08 and not once did I miss bass player.

Think about it - at the rate the shows were bootlegged, releasing any new material on tour would totally ruin the surprise/enthusiasm for said material.
I believe that we'll get something in 09. Will it be a DVD? Probably. I know that Al & Dave are going through about 20 bootleg DVDs from the last tour to get the feel of the show from the audience side. If they can get that out before summer, I'll be happy enough until there's an album.

Honestly, out of the all the things the band could do and all the options they have for a new release, with the pace things get done at in Van Halen World these days I'm hoping the first order of biz isn't a sole dvd release of the last tour.
While I'll take what I can get, can think of many other things I'd rather see happen first.
