Can't get this stuff any more....Dave's Best

Hellz yeah!

I love both of those songs. I have enjoyed reading all of your comments on what Dave was saying, or what the sisters were missing, except for the fact that it all sounds so final...

What Dave has publicaly said, and what I will continue to go on believing until he publicaly says otherwise, is that as long as they are all breathing, there is a chance they will be together again. Instead of seeing those two songs as a final statement, a farewell, I see them as a teaser, a hint of what we could get if they could just work the shit out.

The three new songs are a dissappointment. I hate the songs even more because when I think of them... (its not like you actually hear them, unless you bought the album ) I just wonder how they would have sounded if they had FINISHED them with Dave!

Lyrically, those two songs were amazing.
Its like Dave spoke to us, explained the whole situation,
We, the fans got it.

It went straight over Edwina and Alices heads !
I like to think Dave knew they wouldnt figure it out,
(The Sisters)
and that it was a chance to finally say what he had to say..

And the sisters didnt have a clue !!!

They probably still listen to those songs and
go Huh ??? WTF was Dave saying ?

Obvious to us.......

As usual Panamark, dead on mate!

Dave so played Edwina and Alice in his own classy way! Kudos DLR!
Those two songs are great! Personally like Me Wise Magic a little better. Kinda sounds old school Halen, like I grew up listening to.

Those two new songs and the MTV appearance created so much excitement that it took years for it to die down. Those songs proved Dave and Eddie could do something different but wonderful together. Alex was shiting bricks.

Hardly a day or two goes by without me listening to both tracks.

Ed flat tore it up on MWM, too... sounded better than he had in twelve years. Inspired stuff. Dave too, and his vox on CGTSNM are so full of in-your-face emotion.

We've talked about it all before, but there is no doubt that Dave was quite clever with his pen and was expressing his feelings full-on on the big VH stage.

"They" got it though, just too late.

The best song out of the three new ones is probably "Up For Breakfast". I think Sammy did the best job he could with the songs, because they ARE NOT typical VH sounding songs.... Van Halen used to be a leader in music, everyone had to keep up with them.... The new songs make Van Halen sound like a follower which is sad.... I don't think Dave could even make those songs much better.... It's the music, it's not very good....

Lad, the lyrics to those 3 new tunes make "Wham ! Bam! Amsterdam" sound like bloody shakespeare. Bollocks to Spammy for writing such tripe. Absolutely horrid.

Raw van halen dare i say. The other song i got a min or so download was called 'down in flames' and was a lot like mean street.

The songs you are referring to are NOT new material recorded with Dave in 2000 - it's old bootlegs and demos that were recorded between 1975-1977.

[Blacklisted]

By the sounds of it Shaun should be on a Sammy forum. It looks like has his fly half way down is about to suck Spammy dry.

Those new songs are fucking terrible and they are NOT Van Halen. They are low quality even by Van Hagar standards.

DLR fucking RULES.

[singerman]

yeah in total agreement....the two newish dave/vh songs are and will be better than anything that will be produced by vh on their next album....and ya know what....if everyone in this forum thinks that... then im sure the vh camp and those closest to them know it too!
