It now seems even more miraculous that A Different Kind Of Truth got made/released at all.Comment

People often like to cite how Hagar saved Van Halen. Maybe in new product money but in my opinion not the band's reputation and I think Hagar in hindsight has hurt Van Halen. How many studio LPs did Zeppelin or Hendrix have in comparison to Van Halen with Roth, but the legend not only remained intact but it grew. Thanks to Hagar, you have a whole generation with a skewed opinion of the group due to the AOR cliché rock Hagar made the band become... and now you have all the friction these ignorant 'new' fans cause every time Van Halen is now mentioned as if Sammy is a rightful representation of the legend in my opinionI got lost in the...Comment

I honestly don't give two shits what this band does tomorrow or 7 years from now. It will always be Dave, Al, Ed, and Wolfie. And no matter how hard anyone tries to listen to live cuts from any show, it ain't fucking Van Halen. It ain't. It will never sound right and anybody who caught the first tour who thought a 16 year old kid DESERVED to be up there is a moron.
Just retire al-fucking-ready before further destroying what made you great.
This Ellen thing is the lamest ever move.. I have nothing against Ellen as a person, or her show - never seen it,, and I don't care if other 'rockers' have been on her show, it ain't Van Halen. Is Wolfie's Mom managing the band ... FFS.
If you want goddam headlines, news coverage, to hit the TV screens of every home in the nation fair enough - but try and do something a bit more inventive, with some balls.THINK LIKE THE WAVESComment

It's the pussy generation today so VH is just marketing to it. Rock and roll is about piss and vinegar and breaking rules. It doesn't exist in a society where everyone is afraid of offending everyone and getting in trouble for it. No attitude no nothin.

I wondered about this the other day. They did nothing like this to promote ADKOT, which was a good record, but are apparently doing multiple tv appearances to promote this album, which i don't believe will be as good. These guys...

How did Ellen even get famous in the first place? Yeah she was a comedian but my gosh I don't even remember one routine of hers. All I know her for is she got a lot of air time for coming out gay. Now that's ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz. The whole fucking world has gone gay. Including Van Halen.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

My point is this: Ed trots out whatever version of VH - I'll even say this - Ed trots out whatever version of Van Fucking Halen that He thinks is the definitive version, whenever it suits him. Ed is a deluded moron. Al just wants to cash in. Dave...Dave just wanted to be back in. And he did whatever it took to get back in that band - including allowing some little kid to play bass and pretend to sing. Why else would he say at Cafe Wha? that it was all real and live? And then go on to tell RS that he wanted Mikey back?

But I do hope they rock the Ellen show. Because that's what Van Fucking Halen should do. Play on a show that airs in the afternoon. That's genius marketing. Showing up to a show that NOBODY you know ever watches on a regular basis. Hell, it's almost as big of a stroke of genius as having ONE billboard advertise the pic of the album cover of ADKOT. Seeing as how they stole it straight off another record. And there were 37 people here who even fuckin knew it would be there and knew what it was...I really love you baby, I love what you've got
Let's get together we can, Get hotComment
