    More Lies Coming From VH Camp!

    I just come back from a store where I read an article in a metal mag about van hagar. they made an interview by phone with the bass player (TBP).
    while the band was doing the soundcheck TBP gave a shit about what his sound would be this night and talked to the german mag (TBP: "soundcheck is important but letting the fans in europe know about what's going on is more important")

    TBP says that when he was playing with hagar and the wabos he felt that hagar "still has the power and the energy and that the final word in the VH history has not been spoken yet".

    what we get to read is that the new album is a mega seller and the three new songs are brilliant, "learning to see" one of the band's all-time-masterpieces says the mag (what a perfect example of investigative journalism this is) there are no plans for a full album in the future because at that point the band has no real deal with a rec-company and the best of is only a kind of catalogue thing. they also didn't have much time to think about making a new record, because so many gigs were offered so fast that they suddenly found themselves in tour busses and air planes...

    they only play to "OUTSOLD" arenas and the tour is such a success that they have to add date after date. after more than 80 dates in the US they think about going to japan. (the mag reports this as facts not as spoken word from TBP, maybe they should ckeck the internet and this site from time to time as they claim to be a serious music magazine)

    everyone is so happy that sam is back after the management divided the band in 1996 (so they finally found someone to blame for the split) and after every attempt to get back together with david lee roth failed. and this will be the final chapter of the band's history...

    sorry if I missed something but I didn't bother buying the mag...I had enough from what I had to read in the store...

      I mean...it's not that difficult to get some real facts about the tour and the album sales these days...and they just write down what the VH fuckers tell them...I was wondering that they didn't write how the sam era outsold dave's catalogue....fuck these writers

        That's how it goes for Van Hagar.....throw some FICTION into the mix and try and spin it in their favor. Probably knew even then that BOBW was gonna tank. Not like Van Hagar are gonna hit the road for a EUROPEAN TOUR. You guys on "The Continent" are LUCKY!!!! You don't have to have these FUCKERS hidin' out over there, all the while talkin' 'bout "sellouts" when their playin' to HALF FULL sheds!!!!

          Honest reporters don't get interviews. It is all so political.

            and it's lousy enough that now the bass player seems to be the spokesman of the band and as some revierwers wrote the center of the show...

              That's truth. More and more increasingly, it seems to me that Van Halen has been saying the same things over and over again - Sammy Hagar is the best possible choice, our album is a runaway smash hit, we're selling out night after night and the tour's success is straight to the moon, blah blah blah...

              And the magazines never really do anything to research this, do they? It almost seems like the interviewers, even when they DO actually ask somebody in the band a question, have had all the questions that will be answered handed to them before the fact, because I seriously don't see why any journalist worth his weight would NOT be asking some seriously hard questions...and NOBODY has done that yet!

              We live in the brave new world, kids - it's no stretch for anybody to actually LOOK online at the sales figures for both album and tour and discover that both are complete SHIT, as opposed to what they should be doing at this point, i.e. having any Van Halen back after a 6 year off-the-radar absence. These "DEFININING VAN HALEN" songs off of BOBW have failed, that's already been determined - they've utterly vanished off of the radio, and the rotation wasn't great in the first place. Most people disliked them at the very least, and the numbers are showing that.

              How ignorant does Van Halen think we, as fans, are?

                  what surprises me is that they print them as facts without ANY research at all...

                    Well, the jerks know they can...There are a lot of ignorant people in the world!! Often, however, it is not their fault!

                    But the truth is the truth, so may the ARMY prevail!
