    When I first read it... my brain went back to the aborted 96 reunion when Dave was blasted by Al (I think) for the whole 'Club Dave' vibe he bought to the sessions.

      That makes sense. But Shanks is in the music biz and that Kim K song hit a couple days ago and was all over the blogosphere for how utterly awful it was. It truly is the epitome of what the music business has become. Take anyone that is famous for anything, work the auto-tune magic, and poof! instant hit. But this Kim K song was the final straw. The consensus is that it made paris Hiltons & Heidi Montags albums seem like the fucking Beatles in comparison.

      So I understand Shanks tweeting about this. In the music industry, this meltdown of a song was about as big as Charlie Sheens public meltdown. And Shanks was able to mention them both with one swoop. I don't think it has anything to do with the work he is doing with VH.

      WARNING! This is really really really really bad. It is being posted here merely to put John Shanks tweets into context. Don't shoot the fucking messenger (me). You were warned.

        So if Shanks is shitting on the current state of music today, I'm a little disappointed and worried that he is begging for music, melodies and choruses... wouldn't you hope it was right in front of him... wouldn't you hope he'd let us know that Diamond Dave and Van Halen are on the way to make things right?

          If he's fucking off trying to polish turds like a Kim Kardashian disc, then maybe he's not the right one for the Van Halen job. It's a shitty resume.

          He should probably stick to working with brainless bitches like Kim or Paris Hilton, and Van Halen should find a producer who actually knows real music.

            Yeah right, Walker.

            Do you believe for one second that SpEd doesnt have final cut on Shanks tweets?

              Does Ed really that kind of power in the business anymore?

                I gotta believe that if Shanks says anything about the band that Ed doesnt approve of, his ass is gone.

                All Im saying is I bet there was SOME kind of confidentiality agreement set up.

                Hes a shell of his former self..... But hes still Eddie V.

                    But then you missed it. it gets worse & worse the further into it you get. It really is a bad recording. I don't blame Shanks for calling her out on it. Next up we are gonna have a Snooki album...mark my words.

                          I can't even be bothered listening to whatever Kim Kardashian recorded...even if only to hear how bad it sucks.

                          I...just...can't.

                          Nope.

                          Uh-uh.

                          If she wants to show me her titties/ass/vag, fine.

                          Anything else, next!

                            i'd love to see her naked, but there is no fucking way i'll ever listen to her "music".

                              Christ...who fucking cares what Shanks says...or tweets...or fucking harmonics out his asshole...

                              ...fucking innuendos? Are we really still hung up on that with this band?

                              If Dave and spED walked out tomorrow, with a DVD in their hand and announced their new disc was finished...would ANYONE FUCKING BELIEVE THEM UNTIL THEY ACTUALLY PUT IT IN A DVD PLAYER?

                              So why pay attention to this guy?

                              DLoc...you are dead on. dED has no fucking clout...EXCEPT...with Shanks.

                                Good call.

                                It all boils down to one thing.

                                spEd and Shemp appear to be so unwilling to accomplish anything that we all should only believe they are going to do something when they actually DO something.

                                They are so non-productive it is fucking pathetic.
