All-Encompassing Van Halen New Album / Interscope Thread

[VAiN]

My money's on Dave, not the producer, not on Ed or the rest of the band.

Amen to that, brotha!!

Can't say I disagree with you but..........Dave stepped it up during the last tour, IMHO, and with the pressure to deliver an album on par with The Six Pack. I just can't see Dave not having a major say in the musical direction. He wrote the melodies and lyrics. I can't see how he won't do the same on this album, too.

Agreed that Dave was fantastic 99% of the time on the last tour. All Im sayin is how can Dave mold a great tune if all SpEd hands him is a tape with a bunch of "Aids Walks In" snippets?

Dave would undoubtedly laugh his ass off which would prompt Ed to mumble something about wearing a cup.

Just sayin. Im sure Dave has plenty of input. But it's still Ed's band. Has been since Dave bailed. Thats why they sucked until 2007 with one breath of fresh air in '96. :D

Finally something that actually confirms that this news is true!

Since we can no longer blame Edward for no new music, what are we gonna bitch about next? ...well let's balk that it's not gonna be Fair Warning. (we got it already so we don't really need that over again!) For starters, I'd say why isn't Mike paying bass instead of Ed's son? ...but Mike's too busy working with Sammy Hagar all the fuckin' time!

At least Diamond Dave is writing the lyrics once again; that's a bonus. It's too fucking bad he had to bail back in '85!

Tell you what, no matter what everyone has to bitch about when it comes to this awesome news, one thing can be said. It's new Van Fucking Badass Halen music!

Amen.

We've earned our right to bitch, Junior..... Awesome news, yes, but we've been burned before going down this road, so it's not unprecedented.....

Hail thee Mighty VH

...how can Dave mold a great tune if all SpEd hands him is a tape with a bunch of "Aids Walks In" snippets? :D

How can Dave mold a tune? The way he's always done; with his genius mind. Think back to 1980 when Ed and Al handed him an instrumental demo of 'Romeo's Delight'. Dave was a wizzard to come up with the melody and lyrics he did for that song. Obviously there's no comparison to "Crud Walks In' and 'Romeo's Delight', but good things will indeed come to us who wait.

As a fellow sober alcoholic, I certainly am glad that Ed is sober. He was a bloody headcase for many years because of his problem. A clear mind creates endless possiblities.

I pumped both fists in the air when I saw the news today on VHND. What a great day.

No doubt about it.........it's Ed's band. If it truly was the Old CVH then BassPlayer would of been there.

The only hope I have is between the producer and Dave they can save Ed from himself!

Don't be a jackass... Do you honestly think this thread got 10 pages deep WITHOUT someone noticing something that you noticed this AFTERNOON???

Here's a thought - if you found a gem TODAY - look back at TODAY'S postings and not the entire thread... but I'm sure you already knew that.

Thanks for visiting, don't let the door hit you on the way out!

[DlocRoth]

Shut your glory hole.

Some folks "live" on here so poopknuckles like you can swing by.

Thanks for playing and kindly fuck off.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

What a dipshit, but being a Ravens fan, perfectly understandable...

Maybe because everytime YOU post something, it's ALREADY been posted....

It's called common sense, try it sometime....
