Maybe if Eddie read Dave's book it would be easier for him to 'get' Dave... he obviously doesn't.

Who the fuck has been "inspired" by Van HAGAR and Hagar in general?
I've only seen one admit it, and it was the frontman from Tesla claiming he won a slot in the band by singing "You're love is driving me crazy".
Classic Van Halen? Every fucking hairband ever, plus Smashing Pumpkins, Pantera, Alice In Chains, L7, (FORD claims Nirvana..cannot confirm nor deny) Green Day, Living Colour. oh..forgot..in the "All My Life" video for Foo Fighters, they're actually playing "Panama"
The whole crowd including CHRIS ROCK didn't go apeshit over the 04 reunion did they? No, because Roth led Van Halen was fucking awesome. Van HAGAR is the fucking 80's version of Nickelback with a better guitarist.
Nailed it ! Van Gaygar sucked ass.“A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.”Comment

Best part?
Trunk is gonna HAVE to eat his words if this VH release has any legs....it'll outsell ANY of the Spammy era.....
Having DAVID LEE ROTH fronting the von Halen bros right right in front of your face would cause any Ghey van haggis fan to go straight.............
Trunk is gonna see the light.....
remember that PIECE OF SHIT video they shot for DREAMS in a club way back in the day? PLaying it off like it was CLASSIC VAN HALENish???

At least the Asian guy was in the fucking moment. Yeah, irritating as a splinter from a cheap chopstick (fuck you Panda Express!) but holy motherfuck was the little dude having some fun. Gotta love it.
Trunk goes & is "less than impressed". Compared to an Army member who goes & says the band looked kinda fuzzy through all the tears of joy that were streaming and can't talk for a week after due to losing their voice.
Big difference.
Fuck Eddie Trunk. I don't like the guy & never have. Fucking know-it-all who doesn't really.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment

That story was in the liner notes for their "Reel To Real" album, but the story was that Jeff Keith "won a vocal contest singing a Sammy Hagar song just days before joining the band". He was leaving the band Troubleshooter, which he was in with his brother, to form City Kidd with Frank, Brian, Tommy and Troy in 1984, which was later renamed Tesla."Don't want 'em to get you goat, don't show 'em where it's hid." - David Lee RothComment

Are there really people here who wonder how or why Trunk got to go to The Wha? show..?
Maybe because he is the host of the leading televised Music / Rock and Roll talk show going right now.
Or is it the only talk show about Rock and Roll ?
Should they have sent some more of The RA members,.. well, Hell Yeah! they should have..but all this -why Trunk?- just sounds stupid.
Maybe due to Trunks comments about VH and negativity, gave DDE and The Van Halen Machines, the oportunity to live review thier new tune and sound in front of what no-one would call a stacked deck of fans or editorial music writers.
I like Florentine better anyway...so there.
This version doesn't need the Eddie Trunk / That Metal Show stamp of approval any more than they did four years ago.
Trunk can dislike the new album all he likes and can have Mike Anthony and Sam Hagar on TMS every other week; Chickenfoot ain't gonna move any albums or fill any halls even close to what Van Halen 2012 will.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

I am so glad there are so many truly dedicated fans here!
I am hoping that the receipt totals for this tour will show all those talking heads out there that they have been talking out of their collective ases!!"Why behave in public if you're livin' on a playground?"Comment

They did $93M last time out but I don't think surpassing that will be a problem. The 2007 tour didn't have NEAR the publicity OR a new album to go with it."Don't want 'em to get you goat, don't show 'em where it's hid." - David Lee RothComment

He wore it a gig at the high school and it was a big hit! He's just about to wear it out

EddieTrunk So finally listened to all of new VH. As you know I was holding off commenting until I heard full CD because I was not loving Tattoo...

EddieTrunk I can honestly say Im shocked @ how good it is! Heavy, no keys, no ballads, prod is very live, songs kick ass, & king EVH is back ruling!

EddieTrunk Some songs are much better than others but reminds me at times of Woman & Children which is an all time favorite. Suspect it will grow more

EddieTrunk I still miss Michael Anthony but its way better and heavier than I ever would have thought, especially with Tattoo leading the way!
