New VH Album And Tour or Box Set DVD's Of Old Shows?

[Jérôme Frenchise]

A DVD-CD box set mix would suit me. Old live stuff with the mighty glorious sound VH delivered on stage. I've grown tired of the stifled sound of most bootlegs.

I agree with Von's statement about Dave's voice though it hurts... WTF happened between 2008 and 2012? Dave delivered so much in 2007-08, his singing definitely made it, spot on, fully in tune. How badly that was missed during the ADKoT Tour...

I'd be delighted with another album, but it seems it's either a DVD and/or a CD box set that's in the works, but you never know - let's hope it isn't just a new flip-flop collection.

I'd really like the old shit.

If they tour, then great - I'm pretty sure, however, that they'll not come to Europe so for purely selfish reasons I voted for the boxset.

You know what if we had of played this game in 2007 or before we got wind of the album we would have been miles out.....
Using that logic they could have anything planned .
Judge them harshly ....please do .

I'd love to see a live box set.... CD's, DVD's, or both.

We know some quality video was shot, and those masters have to exist somewhere (We finally know who has the US Festival..that historical archive, or whatever it is.)

Quality audio recordings..... it's surprisingly disappointing how very few soundboard recordings exist of a band that has been around for 40 years. Maybe the band has a few stashed away in a vault and somehow they never leaked out. Surely the tapes must exist somewhere for the live album that was supposed to be released in 1982.

[ELVIS]

Don't mind if I do...

EVH can play better these days but his tone pretty much sucks...

Dave sucks live, but he still sounds pretty good on record...

He sounded awesome live though in 2007, go figure...

Wolfie is a fair player and a decent backup singer, but his distorted bass tones just plain sucks...

Alex is still good but he doesn't play the old songs correctly...

There...

I'm happy with the existing bootleg stuff...

Who gives a fuck if a cleaner version exists in an EVH vault ??

I'd only be interested in something I haven't heard before...

I think as a marker for their place in history they need to release a proper DVD/Blu-Ray of Classic™ VH.. It's a crime against all that does not suck that there isn't something out there for the 'kids' to reference VH with other than 2 shitty commercial releases with the fat clown. Release that Oakland 81, Fresno 78 or anything from 78-81 and watch the jaws drop.

[ELVIS]

I sort of agree, but I think it's a bit too late...

Van Halen (the now classic version) isn't really the big deal it could have been...

[78/84 guy]

Never happen.

[ELVIS]

Hmmm...

[78/84 guy]

I just don't think they give a fuck. Hope I'm wrong. I mean how out of touch are they ? What was up with Dave and that last Best Of he just put out of his solo stuff ? What a waste of time.

I do. I give a fuck about it. VH was awesome on stage until 84, they gave awesome gigs in 2007/08 too, their performances deserve adequately awesome releases.
But I agree with you about new stuff being most worthy.

[ELVIS]

You know, I always think ADKOT when properly presented (sans Tattoo) is almost 100% great, besides the muddy recording...

What happened ??

Did EVH refuse to sign in blood this time around ??

Interscope records could have made good money on that record...

Tattoo still sucks but the rest of the album stands well above 1984 and Diver Down in every way...

Excepting Michael Anthony, of course...

But you know...

Dave and Edwad especially have surprised us time and again...

I think they're more than capable of another good album...

Can't put it any better than you did!

I don't think Dave had anything to do with that...

i think it's the label and the contract I'm assuming he signed...
