    BOBW already dieing

    Today, I went to "Cheapers" a local CD shop that sells New and Used CD's. I found 4 or 5 copies of BOBW in the used section of the store. People who bought the album are already getting sick of it and selling it for cash. It says how bad the album is, people are trying to sell it, when it was released a few weeks ago.

          No matter how much we want this to kick Ed in the butt, the album does contain some great Dave tunes. There are thousands of ignorants in this world that know nothing about the Van Halen
          politics, and will buy it for Dave's songs alone.

          We know its not for the three new tunes, has anyone read one
          postive review regarding those songs ? No, Van Hagar was done
          when it was done. They were a band selling less albums with each
          release.

          And they wanted to ressurect this ??

          Just listen to those three new songs if you
          need further confirmation. Van Hagar is finished as a productive
          unit. So I wouldnt think Sammy is part of a longer term deal....

          Now thats some good news !

            AMEN!

            Most of the people who bought it probably did burn it and hock it...God knows I've done enough of that in my time, so on a rational level, badhorsie makes some sense, admittedly.

            But I didn't do that with ALL of the CDs I bought, either, depending on the overall packaging...

            Since the BOBW packaging is a steaming pile of shit, that probably says a lot for people who might have wanted to keep an official copy.

            And since this thing is mostly selling to Hagar diehards and a SLIM few casual fans....

            What does that lead you to?

            EVEN THE HAGAR FANS DON'T LIKE THE WAY IT'S PUT TOGETHER!

            HAHA!

            :D

            Fuck Hagar, anyway.

            Out.
            Twistin' by the pool.

              Why would you say "Slim" casual fans? You dont believe any new fans would be attracted to the greatest hits album after hearing number of the Roth tunes on the radio and the mystique of the classic era?? (since thats all the radio ever plays from VH)

              As I said in a different post. This album will be an investment for the next few years.(for VH/DLR/HAGAR) Its not meant to sell 2 million right away. Its going to gradually sell more and more copies as some new kids read up about VH in guitar magazines and hear the Roth tunes on the radio and of course some of the old timers who havent updated their cd collections in a long time.

              The new songs are only there to attract the diehards who already own all the albums.

                This new Greatest Hits/MONEY GRAB will take YEARS to ever achieve GOLD, let alone PLATINUM status. Fans of the CLASSIC VAN HALEN already own the cd's and most likely GHVI due to the 2 new tracks featuring DAVE. BOBW is seen by the MAJORITY of the VAN HALEN community as a LAME excuse for the mediocre Van Hagar to tour behind. The 3 new songs with Spammy SUCK....Pure and simple, they blow CHUNKS!!!!! The casual younf un-informed fan will probably check it out due to curiosity, but they are just as LIKELY to download CLASSIC VAN HALEN tracks.


                FUCK YOU Van Hagar!!!! :fucku2:

                  I second that...fuck you, Van Hagar. This rip-off is a disgusting ploy from a band that claims it doesn't live in its past. Refusing to release archive material or consider touring with their original singer is disgusting considering the fact that they keep living off of his legacy.

                    They failed so horribly. Why did they even try?

                      I'll bet eddie is wishing he put the 3 songs he
                      recorded with DLR a few years ago on this set
                      instead of Spammy Haggis's three steaming turds....

                      Those 3 DLR VH songs would have easily outsold
                      this abomination....

                          any new, unreleased or live dave would have made this much more attractive. They could put out an EP with the 3 dave tunes and that would have outsold BOBW. would be funny too, 3 new dave/vh songs versus a 36 song comp.

                          which would sell more?

                            It's too bad that Eddie hung his hat on BOBW. But what do you expect from someone who gets all his inspiration from sitting on a tiolet. Lost the best front man ever, lost half his tongue, lost his wife 'cause he didn't have a full tongue to lick her with and because she preferred Dave over Spammy and now he's lost all common sense. Some one tell this guy to shut his brother up, get rid of Laura Petrie, learn how to play "Unchained" again and get Dave back in the band and "...hit the ground runnin'"
