If VH waits any longer to release this album, one of them will drop dead before it happens.

Sometimes I wish I never became a VH fan.

[bru87tr]

Think of how many of the band's fans that have passed away while awaiting the recorded return of a Roth-fronted VH, and things become even sadder.

Very true and very very sad.

That makes me even more angry at VH. Wasted years for both the band and fans.

Sorry, but I only speak the truth and fact. VH has been dead a very long time and the brothers do suck donkey dick.

If your a donkey dick sucker, cool for you. I choose not to lick the balls of the VH brothers.

Don't let me hold you back though, feel free to lick the sweat.

DLR rocks although he has been lost for a bit now. Hopefully we get the big show when it happens. I want to see DLR in full mode!!!

This is a DLR site, correct ? No licking balls of VH ?

[Sensible Shoes]

I don't see why it means licking VH Balls.

[Northern Girl]

That makes me even more angry at VH. Wasted years for both the band and fans.

If you've "wasted" years waiting for new music from a band, that is YOUR fault.

I wished for but never expected any new music, so it's all gravy to me. Yippee!

[PETE'S BROTHER]

I think I will be in shock when it finally happens.

like many of us. you could change your dumb sig then

Amen Brother PB.:D

Thought this might be of interest to anyone wondering what the details of the VH Interscope deal might be. From the Guardian newspaper today - Madonna, another Warners artist signs with Interscope, for a three-album deal (a modest sounding $1m per album, probably reflecting the dip in sales these days)

================================================== =
Madonna signs to Interscope

Universal Music has signed a multi-album deal with Madonna worth a reported $3m, as the world's largest music company continues to flex its muscle.

Universal Music's Interscope Records has signed the Material Girl singer to a three-album deal, reportedly worth $1m an album.

The deal comes weeks after Universal swooped on Robbie Williams, who was out of contract with EMI, the British music major it controversially acquired in a £1.2bn bid last month.

Universal Music has made something of a habit of snapping up dissatisfied EMI stars, also signing the Rolling Stones and Queen in recent years.

Madonna was previously with Warner Music Group, where she started her career in 1982 and stayed until 2007.

She signed a 10-year multi-rights deal with Live Nation – reportedly worth $100m – that covers touring and merchandise.

At Interscope she will join artists including 50 Cent, P Diddy and Lady Gaga.

Madonna has been confirmed to perform at the NFL Super Bowl half-time show in the US next February, which has been touted as the start of a comeback.

Not much insight into anything related to Van Halen... due to lack of any public acknowledgements.

I guess in the speculation zone... you could draw some conclusions.

Madonna signed a 10 yr deal for touring, merchandising, fan clubs, etc with Live Nation under Azoff in 2007 along with Nickleback, U2 & JayZ. Van Halen was already on board with Azoff then and they lured Eddie off his death march for the 2007/2008 tour. Or forced it... contractually. So VH has some sort of deal with Live Nation.

Under Live Nation's 360 plan they appear to be linking up with UMG & Interscope to fill in the lack of record company ability. Allegedly Van Halen signed with Interscope a few weeks ago... at least a picture of the band and execs was leaked. But not a word officially from anyone directly involved... ??

Is it the Van Halen dumbass promotions department that keep missing the mark?

Interscope publicly confirmed signing Madonna... plus have announced a single release in January, Super Bowl appearance in February followed by an album release in March.

Mean while back on Howdy Doody Mountain... we've got an alleged album in the can, alleged tour schedule sputterings, alleged record deal signings, alleged single simmering somewhere, a picture... but Ed's still locked in the bathroom perfecting the solo for Two Burritos and Root Beer Float...

Ed's is buddies with Charlie Sheen... is this what they call "Winning"... "Tiger Blood"... WTF?

[VHscraps]

Yeah, aside from that photo, the lack of public acknowledgement is odd (yet also par for the course with VH).

[DLR Bridge]

Speaking of Sheen, I find it comically ironic that both Tiger Woods and Charlie Sheen had involvement in some way with VH just before their total and utter Fucked lifestyles got the better of them. But ofcourse, just like comic book villains, they all come back to fight another day. Life is strange.

So far, Tiger Woods managed to finally pull off a win in a tournament a couple of weeks ago. The verdict is still out on Sheen and Van Halen.
