If Van Halen...

[Carloscda]

Sorry, Paul has a better voice than dave, dave always had a limited range so he overdid those yelpy-buttmoan-squeals. Saw KISS last week, great show, saw vh last year, just ok, even with dave trying way too hard, just ok, it was hard to watch dave be a former shadow of himself.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion... But Seriously

Well The Joshua Tree wasn't spectacular in revenue but we're talking about the 6pk here!! What every true VH Fan & others want to see!!
The early days to 84, the infamous full show of the 81 tour!!

Just about every major band has live shows documented from back then, best believe people would go crazy to see this band when the we On Fire!
Ridiculous amount of money would be made!!

I've been meaning to introduce myself since joining, and how fitting that my 1st post will be about kiss. NO, not because I like kiss but because of how MUCH I can't stand them and all the bullSHIT talk of how great they are, and that the shows are great and blah blah blah. I don't even consider them a band, it's a fucking circus with lousy sounds and noise that they think and call music.

I hope they all fuckin slip and fall on stage when they hit South Florida so my kiss fanatic bud can cry like a fuckin baby! He's one that bores me with this bullSHIT talk of Gene's demo and so called helping of VH. WTF, if anything Gene and kiss needed the help. No really, they did and still do. Unless you're like my kiss bud and the rest of the brainWASHED kiss freaks who drool and blabber about the show, yea only the show and it's smoke and mirrors to coverup those lousy sounds and noise I mentioned earlier.

And how can anyone actually prefer Paul over Diamond Dave? You must be really FUCKED up on something to say that bullSHIT!!! kiss SUCKS ASS!!! Right ON VAiN!

Queero wishes he was the guy in the public urinal when Paul Stanley looked over and said "nice dick"

[Carloscda]

Far as Daves voice goes, after those trade mark screams & yells over the past 30yrs takes a toll on ones voice. And to be in his mids 50's he looks & sounds good!

[sonrisa salvaje]

Have to take your word on that. Do you prefer your trannies with big tits or big dicks? As long as everyone is consenting, have at it. Strange the number of dudes attracted to this type of "gal". Did you dress in your mom's clothes as a kid?:tongue0011:

Awwww. Did him get his feewings hurt? Sniff. sniff. Him better go take a baby aspirin since his vagina hurts.

[Big Troubles]

it almost doesn't matter. its all opinion and were entitled. i just find it a little creepy that a closet fag like deero joins a dave site to bash him

Instinct says Van Halen would have been discovered and gone on to success with or without Simmons.

It wasn't like Mo Austin and Warner Brothers signed the band upon the recommendation of Gene Simmons or anyone else then in the KISS organization.

If anything, had the band actually went with Casablanca and took the recommendations of Simmons, Roth would have booted out and the band would have changed its name to Daddy Longlegs.

Their involvement with Simmons was just a brief interlude. A bump in the road on the way to success.

I'd open the wallet pretty wide for that.

For, like, say...

a 4 dvd set, including restored live footage from 1977-1984 (throw Largo 82 and the US Fest on, as well as whatever was shot on the WACF tour for that proposed and eventually abandoned movie...have a bonus disc of 1983 South American footage on there...shit, rumor is there were multiple 1984 dates pro shot by the band/WB). The great thing being that a good chunk of that stuff was shot on proper film, as opposed to videotape (am sure I'm not the only one who thinks that film just plain looks better).

Then a 2-disc audio companion with, say, the VH1 demos (and whatever other demos exist for the other albums). Bunch of live shit.

Fuck. I'd pay upwards of a c-note for that. $75, at any rate. Hell, make it a c-note if the band just keeps all Sam Halen shit AWAY from the whole project!

I have to imagine such a thing isn't possible because of a) legal wrangling over ownership, b) the source materials have been lost or c) the Van Halens won't release it because they're just plain afraid too - a case of fearing the kickass past dwarfing their meager present re: perceptions.

Otherwise, something along those lines would have been released by now.

So in retrospect, it's actually a good thing that Casablanca wasn't signing anything but Disco acts in 1977. Hell, even KISS themselves had to make a disco album to stay on the label (Dynasty)

Can't imagine a Van Halen disco record. "Dancing In The Streets" was as close as they ever needed to get.

Not to quibble, or to disagree (rock bands in the 1970s turning to disco to revive flagging careers or to just jump on a fad for an easy hit produced a lot of cheesy results), but was Dynasty a disco album? Or just the single off it?

Agreed that DITS was MORE than close enough for VH to be approaching disco...although I'd rather have a Van Halen disco album with Roth at the helm than a "rocking" Van Hagar album any day of the week.

Brought this subject up because catching those clips from their concerts which were really a fireworks display vs music.
They have that type of 3-4 concert dvd set thing out that was mentioned.

But to see Raw On Fire Ground breaking talent of Van Halen is every VH fans dream!!

Queero.....are you a tranny?
Cause all you bring up is gay trash....
Go to the the Perez Hilton site, its more your style...
