Can they not use cgi like they did with daves hair ?

He is a Sexy cat!! Ed said so! And that was way back when he was like 3 years old or something!

You know, you could literally fill a book with Ed's retarded exclamations over the years...

You do realize Donnie that your preoccupation with Mike and Wolf is turning into a relatively unhealthy obsession...

[DONNIEP]

Not only that, Wolfie has the money to hire people to help him maintain a healthier diet and exercise regime. Don't tell me it's "genetics", the dude is a glutinous pig. No excuse being that young and have that much weight.

If anyone even knows what summer nights even sounds like can they please pick up their fuck off as they leave .

Ah, it was the first song that popped into my head. Stupid song, really. But it was the REAL Van Halen, according to Ed, so you gots to like it cause Ed said so!

[Kristy]

He sure as hell could stand to lose a few lbs. He is 24, and being that weight at 24 is not good. It is not like any of it is muscle, either. You would assume given his dads poor health that Wolf would take care to assure he is in good physical health. If he stays this size he is going to have his share of health issues when he gets older

And while we're at it, another "greatest hits" tour to support a live recording of the same songs from two years ago feels a lot like the "pasture"...and not the "future."

A few months ago, I thought we were going to get a scoop of both future and pasture this year. I'm still pumped up about the Van Halen Rising book and all of its untold tales and pictures from the pasture. But dammit, if they didn't blow the future on refusing to create new music. I can't even stand the word nostalgia. These are 4 guys who should be pushing each other in the studio and building on their legacy. There's no law that says they have to bag song writing at 60. If they are solely a nostalgia act now, that's just a waste. Sure, the shows will be fun. There's no denying that. But I am absolutely sick of these songs. Ed noodling during Dave's band-aid application gave me more wood than anything else he did that night. He's still got creativity on his side. If only he'd use it. All of them use it.

Don, I would have LOVED this. At last, something interesting on TV, and on a VH stage.
(carloscda lame rant coming in 3...2...)

[DONNIEP]

Or any Hagar tune, for that matter.

How funny would it have been if Ed launched into Summer Nights and the crowd goes wild? Woulda made for some good TV.

[philouze]

During the time they were covering Dave's nose, they shoulda shamed Dave into cooperation by playing LUTS or As Is.

For all those continuing to bash Dave & the band did you hear the walking zombies The Stones are going back on tour??
What's your criticism of them?

I think...and this may be a bit of a reach, but the Stones have such a long history of this that they actually get a pass. They have a much deeper discography than Van Halen (if you're only counting the Roth era due to the current incarnation of the band)

Plus, they also haven't alienated their fans with multiple personnel changes based primarily on spite, and I don't think the Stones have ever vanished from the radar for really prolonged periods of time.

Personally, I don't give a flying fuck about the Stones. Some of their songs are good, no doubt. But I just never was a serious fan.

They're old, wrinkley, and Mick still dances like he's having a seizure. But he does have nice hair. So he's got that going for him.

You are so funny it's not funny.

[philouze]

I guess your right. He just kicked so much ass on that tour, you know?. Talk about stage presence
