[DiverDowninKy]

All I can say is this Mother Fucker....will kick your ass!!! Unreal....

[Seshmeister]

It almost validates the 10 years sitting about on this site waiting(and moaning)...

Quick question....

Are Dave's handwritten lyrics in the CD booklet, or is that only on the gatefold of the vinyl copy?

Anyone???

[Warham]

"As Is" is fucking ridiculous.

Well back at work after 3 hours sleep. Drank almost everything in the house listening to this til 4am.. just the way I planned...

Drove to work... CD in car stereo - traffic was soooo bad but it didn't matter - I had VH telling me to "Stay Frosty" ...

This shit is killer... now on at work. Listen up work people.. "THIS IS FCKN VAN HALEN - GET USED TO HEARING IT!"

Different songs sound different in the light of day.. You and Your Blues was a GREAT track to start my day, where as last night I was drawn towards others.

This album is the shit.. period.. game over.

Van Hagar has been wiped from existence. There will just be a black hole between 1984 and 2012.

oh hell yeah....this thing is epic man!

When did Ed get his mojo back?

In between the end of the last tour and recording this something has happened.

It can't be just the sobriety, Roth brings the best out of him.

After 20 years on a plateau he has added a bunch of new tricks to the tool kit.

Quote of the day right here! Maybe we can get a group rate on rehab once this tour's over

[Seshmeister]

Remember 3 hours sleep is not enough to get you sober to drive FFS.

[Panamark]

Awake (and working unfortunately) but I have it now !!!!
Its there on my PC waiting.
Have to finish a freakin coding deadline today and then
beer oclock to the new album.

I think I will be rushing the code a little more than usual

Like Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, they may have bitched and moaned at each other like a married couple over the years, but together - it just IS THIS: the sum is greater than the parts. Dave always knew it, Ed was in denial during the Van Hagar years, but he knows it in hs bones.

He and Dave ended up together because it always made sense.

Sammy just heard it...
