If a Van Halen biopic was ever made, should it be a comedy?

    Yes, there is plenty of material to make it funny - but I'd rather see it funny like 'Dazed & Confused' is funny but also serious and cool at the same time. Personally, I'd much rather a professional documentary with previously unseen archival footage. Do you have access to any?
    My karma just ran over your dogma.

      Maybe funny in a Shakespeare comedy sorta funny...
      "Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."

        You talking to me? I'm just some schmo with an idea for a screen play and a desire to try and whip one up right. I know I wasn't there when it all happened, but then again, was Oliver Stone with Jim Morrison on dawns highway bleeding while ghosts crowded the young child's fragile egg shell mind?

        That was for you Poj. G'head. Hit the thanks button. Just once. You'll feel better. Lol

          Who could play Dave? Certainly that guy from Shit Panther... (Sorry, I liked them better as Atomic Punks)

                    All unknowns. No celebs in the movie.


                    Except David Grohl. He apparently insisted on playing the parts of Alex, 2 different roadie friends, the guy who gets knifed to death at one of their biker bar shows and Michael Anthony's kid brother.

                    Damn, that guy is everywhere.

                        Beck needs a part...but something random...

                        like a pimp on Sunset...
