Dave's sister to make a Van Halen Lullabye album

[hambon4lif]

"a number of summers ago, I lived a very very crazy and colorful life, and alot of you may well be my children."

sounds like a classic Roth-ism to me.

[Guitar Shark]

Seemed kinda forced and awkward to me, actually. Good to see Dave, though.

[DONNIEP]

How cool is that? Lullabies and Jack Daniels - only from Dave... Good to see Dave back in front of the camera. Hopefully he'll be all over the place soon hyping the hell out of the new record!

For real - despite the vague nature of the address, that link will not put a virus on your computer. Was linked to it because I am on the facebook "Rock-a-bye-baby" "like" list.

New Dave Video For His Sister's Rockabye Baby Collection, 11/11/11

I didn't believe it either when I saw the Google alert. But no shit, here is Dave in an ad for his sister's collection of VH covers for children. Apparently, this was uploaded to Youtube around 4:30 EST this afternoon.

Enjoy!

Sonnet

That's what I was thinking...I hope it's out b4 June...if not I'll go with Guns N Roses...Welcome to the Jungle baby!!!

Don't do that baby....

[CreatureFrmTheC]

It's about time!!! I have purchased several for friends and family...this is the one I have been waiting for!!!

[ZahZoo]

Fun thread... nice to see this coming to fruition. I'll have to pick this up for my 4th grandchild...

Fuckin Van Halen... I thought I was joking about them putting out something in time for my grand kids to enjoy. Now it's a damn reality!!!

[FORD]

(notice the absence of any “Van Hagar” material!)

Well, since it's Dave's sister who put this album together, I would hope not!

Besides, subjecting babies to Van Hagar songs would be considered child abuse.

[mohican]

I knew we'll get a vh album by Christmas. No 'On Fire'?

Some tracks on this list I can see are easier to translate to lullabies (I'll Wait, Beautiful Girls, Feel Your Love Tonight, Dance...) I'm actually curious to hear ‘Runnin’ With The Devil’, 'Unchained' and HFT. Why 'You Really Got Me’? It's a cover of a cover and it will end up sounding more like the original. 'And the Cradle Will Rock' is very appropriate.

Yep, no Van Hagar. Don't want jr to

[fifth element]

Just archiving this for myself...

saw this a few months ago somewhere...
another member of the family in the music business...
even if it is someone elses music, and she is simply presenting it in a new way....

hehe...at least we know now that there WILL be a new VH album ... hehe

Van Halen ‘Rockabye Baby’ Lullaby CD Coming From David Lee Roth’s Sister

by: Amy Sciarretto Ultimateclassicrock

It was only a matter of time before a Van Halen version of the ‘Rockabye Baby’ lullaby series came to fruition. The series, which morphs rock ‘n’ roll songs into soothing, pretty instrumental lullabies, is the brain child of David Lee Roth‘s sister Lisa, so it’s sort of a family “business.” The VH edition, titled ‘Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Van Halen’ will drop on Nov. 8.

The series has already made over tunes by Metallica, Pearl Jam and more! It’s about time Lisa Roth re-imagined her brother’s anthems! We wonder if the ability to do high leg kicks runs in the Roth family, too.

Roth (Lisa) told Forbes that while babies tend to respond to the music, the lullabies are really something the parents dig. “It’s more for the parent than the child but it calms the child at the same time,” she said. The ‘Rockabye Baby!’ records are also a good way for rockers to give their kids an early start on their musical education. Parents can prep their kids for a life of rock by introducing the to the soft, innocuous versions of rock tunes at first. The rest will come in due time.

Roth also spoke about some of the challenges in translating songs from rowdy to soothing! We can’t imagine that work is particularly easy.

‘Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Van Halen’ Tracklist:

‘Runnin’ With The Devil’
‘Hot For Teacher’
‘Jump’
‘You Really Got Me’
‘Jamie’s Cryin”
‘Panama ‘
‘Eruption’
‘Feel Your Love Tonight ‘
‘Unchained ‘
‘Beautiful Girls’
‘I’ll Wait’
‘And The Cradle Will Rock… ‘
‘Dance The Night Away’

(notice the absence of any “Van Hagar” material!)

i think most of the guys here are avoiding this thread cause it it challenges their cool rock star vibe. They fail to see/accept the reality of the times and the true musical genius that runs deep in the roth family.

Vh needs so fucking bad to drop the porn publicist and hire lisa as manager/publicist and creative director it's so damn obvious!!

SPOT ON - Jamie's Cryin.... You need a ROTH in order to get anything done... inevitable.
