Here's The Latest in VH Land.....

Not to mention the dozens of videos all over the 'Net....

That, I'm sure was intentional...only reason you would allow small cameras in a venue.

Yes, it was probably intentional. But on the other hand, no way in hell could they have stopped people from taking in our phones, or stopped people from filming and snapping pics, especially up front where it was SO packed in tight.

Cheap advertising. Buy the drinks, put on a show, say bring your cameras... and voila. :D

Thanks VA and the folks who responded... appreciate your input. Makes sense. The ONE thing that I do want is for the band to do some interviews. It would be great to hear from them personally, talk about the writing and recording process, what went into getting the songs arranged, etc. Agree?

That's a double-edged sword with this band...that's when the egos start flying...

Who really knows how much they do or don't get along...and the more they talk...the more shit that could hit the fan...

While I agree...I'd love to hear interviews (and I'm sure we'll get bombed with print interviews), I'd rather they keep their pieholes shut, and let the music do the talking...

1 - I WANT TO HEAR/SEE INTERVIEWS! - absolutely

problem - interviewers have a nasty habit of opening old wounds. Old quotes, Sammy, Michael, 1986, 1996, 2000, MTV and Daves cup, Chickenfoot, & on & on & on.....

I don't know if I trust Eddie enough that he is strong enough to handle opened wounds. Guy is a serious grudge holder. Now Dave on the other hand, he is a master wordsmith & spin doctor and can answer any question without really answering it.

It's my understanding that the press rounds for a new record happen a couple of months in advance. If they'd been doing press, pretty sure we'd have picked up on snippets of it now via Blabbermouth or some such site......

Anyone remember this Van Hagar leak ??

I've been hoping maybe there's some of the video from the interviews/war stories of days gone by coming on The Downtown Sessions... Seems 4 acoustic cuts, while stellar no doubt, might be just one possible ingredient on the bonus DVD. Any thoughts?

[clarathecarrot]

There were two or three audio clips that were posted at this site, soon after Roth and The DDE video was posted here, before Cafe Wha? gig.

I am not certain, but I bet these audio cuts are from those, Bonus traks.

Ed talks about a junk car he modified to hold his equip back in the club days and such.

[VanHalenI]

So... VH will show footage from Cafe Wha? huh.. Does this mean we'll all see future Van Halen CLASSIC Footage like Oakland '81? :D

Exactly... You know they probably HDd those chats, and there has to be way more than a minute about this or 30 seconds about that. I say lay it on us! That would truly be a Deluxe Edition!

I am not so much a nostalgia nut as others, I want the new stuff man..!!!..,but I would buy some of -the vaults- things that is for sure!

Maybe they panned the audience with a camera... and there I was, 15 rows back .. standing all concert long back in 78' with some girl on my shoulders while she showed the band her tits.
