      Fuckin incredible eh......
      Actually no, that is FUCKED UP!

      VH are at a little over 385,000 physical units sold in the US....granted, some of that 100,000 units will not be in the US, but a large chunk of those downloads ARE....if the fuckers would get off their lazy goddamnable asses and buy the fucking album at the store or through Amazon...VH would get another Gold album in the US!

        Give it some time HR. Like all things VH, it takes a little while and it will slowly soak into the fabric of America. Then in 5+ years we won't even remember what it was like to not have these 13 songs. Someone earlier said Beats Workin' was played during a Nascar event. Only 6 weeks since release man. It'll get it's legs. Just wait until NFL season.

          Yeah it is. There's a flea market near me where this one guy is KILLING IT. His selection is insane. I bring back like 10 records for 50 bucks. It's worth a little money because he pulls excellent finds in good condition. Even got a Stones Euro '73 soundboard LP last week.

          But the search is awesome. I've been wanting Tres Hombres for awhile and the other day I found it for less than $1 in great shape! SCORE! It's a fun hobby. Then you spin the fuckers loud as hell while you get RETAHDED!!

            Wait until NFL season ? Why ? Why should we even have to negotiate that the cd will grow some legs. The fuckin' cd has legs, but our boys are not promoting this album like I had anticipated at all.

            I been telling everyone about this disc, yet, I get the same answer all the time, "Van Halen has a new album out?" "I haven't heard anything off the album yet ..."

            I even had this dipshit at work thinking that Sammy was still in the band. WTF?

            All's I'm saying is that, why make this killer albumand release it, if nobody but us die hards are the only ones that's gonna hear it ?

            illogical logic, if you ask me ...

              If they did sell that many already in the US, then they most certainly will be getting then the GOLD award within the near future.

                Weird thing is, only 14.29%, or 15 of us, were realistic enough with our predictions in the "Under a Million" category in sales.

                Where are all the people who predicted Millions sold ?

                We should be told !

                  IT'S ONLY BEEN FUCKING 6 GOD DAMMED WEEKS!



                  Jesus Christ people. Chill the fuck out. You act like if 10 million people didn't line up to buy it on release day & send it diamond status immediately then it's a fucking failure. 6 weeks!! 6 weeks!! 6 weeks!! Man you guys are fucking picky & impatient.

                  STAY FROSTY you over caffeinated VH fans. Record it & the sales #'s will come.

                    .

                    So? That means the dipshit at work doesn't know about Chickenfoot either. Lucky him.

                        I had a dipshit at work tell me he thought Sammy was the lead guitarist in Van Halen.
