All-Encompassing Van Halen New Album / Interscope Thread

[TAKIN WHISKEY]

Isn't Van Hagar flavored with vomit?

No, more like an artery clogging, fried dick smothered in velveeta flavored.

[Halen High]

Can't believe how many linkers worship that clown.

There's a delusional 'vocal' minority over there, probably only 10 or 12, who dominate the site with their pro-Sammy/anti CVH stance and Andrew tends to tell them what they want to hear, you know current VH news with a slightly negative slant on it.

I noticed someone over there saying VH was going nowhere with Dave in 1984 so Sammy 'saved' them, while another says he's 19yo and states his favourite Van Halen album is......not a Van Halen album. That's right, not Fair Warning, not 1984, not VH1. No it is of course...Chickenfoot.

BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Halen High]

I hope they shoot about five videos for this album - with Dave directing of course. Then put out a DVD featuring the new videos, every video from the CVH era and documentary footage of the 2011 recording sessions.

Is that asking too much?

No it's not. But I think we will be lucky to get 1 video...sadly. But if they did one cool video for a single off a new album and it got tons of hits on Youtube, it might spur them to do another. Fuck, if Rebecca Blacks 'Friday' can get 65 million hits.......

If they tour for a new album, I really hope they film it & release it this time. They should have released something from the 07/08 tour. I'm tired of the cellphone shots on Youtube. Dying for something pro-shot.

[Halen High]

They must have paid a lot of money to have those shows filmed so it's amazing nothing was released.

I think we will get 2 or 3 videos. Dave certainly loves the whole visual side of VH and he will push for that.

I just can't wait to hear the first single! If the album is out in October, what's the likely release for a single? August?

[Seshmeister]

What does your cat know?? Don't hold out on us!

Just yesterday he was saying how his asshole tasted very similar to Cabo Wabo.

Dave no longer has a say in the band. He's just a hired gun now.

August? More like the twelfth of never. You are being waaaay too optimistic as this band has a history of failing to deliver.

It never hurts to ask, I guess.

The strategy I've adopted as a Van Halen fan since 1998 is to lower my expectations to virtually nothing. This way, the level of dissatisfaction is tolerable when various VH-related endeavours predictably come up snake eyes. It enabled me to rationalize the choice of Wolfgang as bassplayer with the mindset of "hey, it's not CVH anymore, and the Van Halens these days are bound to over-complicate and fuck up what should be simple and easy choices."

This frame of reference helps me explain why a comprehensive CVH audio/video box set hasn't been released: It's what the fans want, so naturally we won't get it. Par for the course with this band now. Same with the 2004 tour: the fans want Roth back in the band, so naturally they end up touring with Hagar.

I'm thinking some of the 08 footage will pop up in a video.... at least I hope so.

If we ain't seen it by now....

chances are we won't at all.

You guys are assuming that Van Halen actually gives a shit about its fans, and that's where the problem lies.

When a new album is out and it's decent - will you lighten up at all? Maybe just a little?

I am thinking of going green.

That's nice. You'll have to go green without any Van Halen IV though, be prepared.

I have always been against the orange and have felt a kinship to the green.
