      General, you have a right to your opinion, but I disagree. The majority of your Vanhalen fan base are DLR era fans and they will have nothing to do with a compilation containing DLR era tunes sung by Hagar. Sure some VanHagar sheep will purchase this piece of crap, but DLR era fans strongly out number Van Hagar fans.

        R & T buys lots of TV time as does Rhino.

        Rhino does more Best of and R&T compilations.

        Mezro...at the end of the day they may as well be one and the same

            The topic isn't the problem; many of the members just don't like you.

            Mezro...i don't have a problem with you Hina...i treat people how they treat me....but i still hate Sam...fuck him...

                Now 15 and every other Now CD has been certified Gold...even though people probably already had the tunes...BOBW's will do good.

                  Most people in the states are suckers when it comes to buying shit off of the tele.

                  They'll show a few clips of classic Dave/VH, they'll show some Spammy stuff and people who have not listened to VH for 5, 10 or even 15 years will remember the songs from their youth, pick up the phone and order it.

                  Mezro...nostalgia = dollars

                    The "Now" CD brand is so strong that many people don't even care about the track listing; they know "Now" will deliver exactly the type of hits they are looking for.

                    Mezro...said it once, i'll say it again, best of both worlds will do well in the direct to consumer market

                      Marketing nostalgia on TV can do well. It can also turn off music buyers who initially thought "their" band was not a nostalgia act.

                      You have to look at the audience for this product. Van Halen fans are split.

                      Dave era fans will not buy. Most Sam era fans have moved beyond this kind of music. And many others have downloaded the new songs and will not buy.

                      Clever direct marketing? For ROI, Perhaps.
                      Enough market left to matter? For total sales, Nope.

                        Not because of the 3 new songs but because this CD will appeal to the casual fan.
                        This 2 CD set is a definite catalogue killer as it has most if not all of the songs a casual fan knows and loves.
                        Again this will make tons of money in the long run for Dave and Sammy.

                                You failed to mention the normal people who like both versions of the band.
                                Those people far out number the the pro DLR people here or the pro Sammy people at the links.
