It's still going to be epic though!!
#3443 Re: The Sunset Strip » Van Halen Discussion » 700 weeks ago
I know right? some of these people just want to make a scene and probably only listened to all the big Van Halen songs. If they don't like the new lineup, they can find something else to listen to.

Is it possible for you to upload the stuff onto Mediafire?

Um..... if you were coming to DLR-era-VH, you were coming to the wrong place to begin with. Second, the lyrics or Tattoo are actually pretty good when you listen/look at what DLR says about them. Third; when HASN'T Dave "phoned in" his singing? Isn't that part of the charm?
Sorry to rant, but it just kind of came to a head for me tonight after seeing Trunk tweet about how unimpressed with the material he is. It's like, look man, go back to going on and on about bands NO ONE cares about and leave the enjoying Van Halen to actual fans of the band in the first place.
I mean.... what the fuck where people expecting??
Yeah, Dave's never been a high pitched screamer. He's more of a yeller which means that his voice doesn't sound all that different. I'm enjoying all the new VH stuff. Van Halen has always been fun music to listen to and I'm really not sure what the complaints are. I mean no one realistically expects them to put out another classic like Fair Warning considering the circumstances. I mean Eddie was near death a few years ago and had tongue cancer and looked like shit. Now he looks happier and looks like he is enjoying life.
Blood and fire has a pretty good solo near the end. I caught The Trouble with Never and that has some really interesting guitar stuff from Eddie. Stay Frosty sounds odd to me too but the last part of the clip was really kicking into high gear.
I'm extremely impressed with Eddie's guitar work on the tracks. He's taking that classic sound with the tapping in the solos and giving it a modern sound that could be traced back to FUCK or a Humans Being style of playing. I heard some of Stay Frosty on CSI last night (which is only reason I watched that episode) and got to hear some more of the riffs and I was impressed. It basically could be the sequel to Ice Cream Man in a sense. A good ol' 70's Dave VH track with some other stuff thrown into the mix that gives it a weirdness to it. Blood and Fire is just a fun song; but I liked the Trouble with Never better. xD COME ON, VH! JUST TAKE MY MONEY, PLEASE!!! XD Yeah..I agree I was getting pissed at Trunk. I mean dude! Van Halen shouldn't be something to be over analyzed with listening to individual tracks. They are the mighty Van Halen and finally putting out a record of some form. In the words of Guns N' Roses, Just a little patience....

Those songs were great! Can't wait to hear the rest of the amazing!! The mighty Van Halen is about to shake the rock world once again in only a few weeks!

They should do something epic for Axl's 50'th. That's a huge step in anyone's life.

That's pretty much the case in the nut shell. Live Nation is just the scum of the earth when it comes to over expensive deals.

I'm still deciding if I should invest seeing both trilogies in 3D. I think I may skip Episode 2 since it's my least favorite SW film. Hayden making Anakin a whiny bitch throughout the whole film and focusing the best parts of the franchise to the last 15 minutes of the film with the exception of the Obi Wan vs. Jango Fett fight. The only problem I had with Episode 1 was some of the dialogue and characters could of been more developed and that there is a huge transition between 1 & 2 that leaves alot for more structure. Also the pacing of the film was another thing I saw when I got older. Liam Neeson is still a badass. I do have fond memories of it when I was younger. I remember seeing the original (classic) trilogy in theaters back in 1997. It changed my life!! I'm so excited for the Hobbit films. The trailer blew my mind!!

I just learned that the ONLY way to get the album on vinyl in the US is through Live Nation for FIFTY FIVE FUCKING DOLLARS.....for a double LP set.
What. The. Fuck.
Goddamnitsomuch....fuck you Azoff!
Yeah...Live Nation can go fuck itself. $199-$699 for VIP packages or ultimate VIP packages. ..and they don't even include getting a photo or a meet & greet with the band either. Looks like I'll just try to get okay setting when I go to one of the shows through Ticketmaster. Even though I hate the fucking $10 extra fees. I'll probably pick up the album at either Hot Topic or Best Buy the week it comes out. Definitely getting the deluxe version. 
I love how Dave is doing alot of promoting and staying in touch with the fans. Eddie is getting a little better at it too. Everyone seems in good spirits. Even though I wish I owned a EVH Wolfgang guitar. Money is always in the way!! xP 
Azoff is just an asshole when it comes to planning a tour. He almost screwed up financing the last GNR US tour on the grounds he had to do it properly on legal terms. Live Nation and Ticketmaster charged a ton of money for ticket prices/packages for Roger Water's THE WALL in DC (and probably every other area in the U.S.). From what I've heard and seen on the internet, it's an amazing show & experience. BUT..I'm not paying $250 or more for tickets for a 2 hour show based off an album I got for less than $30 and can now listen to anytime for free. Dark Side, The Wall, Piper, and Wish You Were Here are my favorite Floyd albums. 
That just pisses me off and the Pink Floyd fan community in general.
