Any Van Halen fans here?

jbmagic · 07-02-2005, 04:43 PM

does anybody know if Van Halen 2 cd greatest hit album that they release recently, has Sammy Hagar or David Lee Roth as the lead singer for singing there hits?

Token Asian Guy · 07-02-2005, 04:49 PM

I like Van Halen, not Van Hagar. But seriously, it has both of em singing their respective tunes. Nothing like blasting the, BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP (easiest bass line ever) opening of running with the devil to get your blood flowing.

jbmagic · 07-02-2005, 04:56 PM

thanks

even the live tracks? do they sing there respective songs?

Joe · 07-02-2005, 05:40 PM

so if it has both Haggar and Roth, its basically the same as the first GH album?

Bubba Wheels · 07-03-2005, 06:12 PM

Pure genius...remake all your old songs and get paid again. Being without talent doesn't mean having to give up your lavish lifestyle.

Yeah, I'm sure those multi-platinum albums sure make them talentless.

selling albums doesn't mean you have talent.

Now, I didn't say they were highly talented.

My point is that a group of people thought they were talented, so they bought their records.

Joe · 07-03-2005, 08:34 PM

theres always a group of dumb people who think someone is talented enough to buy their records. Ashlee Simpson is a multi-platinum recording artist.

Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard BBQ, arrive 4 hours early to the gig just for the parking lot, band. We we're a firm blast of Scotch but if you like a gentle iced tea then thats ok too.

Bubba Wheels · 07-04-2005, 09:23 AM

Just one thing: I myself was a pretty big Van Halen fan back in the 80s, and I never meant to say that they never did have talent. Just asking how much talent does it take to remake your old songs again and put them out as 'new?" And who are the folks that would be buying it?

Draft Dodger · 07-05-2005, 08:33 AM

Best of Both Worlds (which I think you are talking about) has some issues.

it does include both Roth and Hagar tracks (nothing from Cherone). it has 3 new tracks which sound like they were slapped together at the last minute; only one of them (It's About Time) is even remotely listenable. Rumor has it that Michael Anthony did not play bass on those tracks.

there are 3 live tracks, all culled from Right Here Right Now. Inexplicably, the 3 tracks are Roth songs sung by Sammy (Ain't Talking 'Bout Love, Panama and Jump).

there's also some production problems (again a function of the rushed job this was - they wanted to get this out in order to support their way-overpriced tour last summer). Not Enough has an instrumental in front of it that wasn't intended to be put on (and isn't listed). Even more egregious is the end of Finish What Ya Started. On OU812, the song fades out. Here, it just cuts of abruptly - obviously, someone just forgot to include the fade out on the album. When this issue was discovered, producer Glen Ballard hilariously tried to pass that off as a "directors cut" of the song.

The song sequencing of the albums is terrible, and there's the usual "how could they leave of ___" stuff and there are no photos of Diamond Dave in the liner notes. Classy guys!

Not a bad introduction for the new/casual fan, but I think the first Best of is better. The only reason a more serious fan would by this is for the remastered tracks which reportedly makes many of the songs sound much, much better.

Eddie Van Halen Goes Bananas on Howard Stern: The Full Highlights

A few days ago we reported on Eddie Van Halen’s recent radio interview with Howard Stern, but nothing but a transcription can capture the true insanity of this exchange — it’s taken us hours and hours just to process Van Halen’s vitriolic comments about David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar and how his 15-year old son Wolfgang is a better bass player than Michael Anthony. Let’s go straight to the highlights:

On curing his tongue cancer without chemo or radiation:

Eddie Van Halen: “I cured my cancer in a way that’s not exactly legal in this country. I’d tell you, but I don’t want to go to jail. When you drink your damn draino it just holds it at bay. It comes back. Cancer is like a cockroach. It just comes back stronger. I’m tearing apart the immune system of the cockroach and seeing how it ticks. I’ve opened up my own pathology center. Some of us open tequila bars in Mexico, I’m curing cancer. They cut a healthy piece of my tongue off and grew healthy cells outside of my body and tested them. I’m missing a third of my tongue. They butchered me. I didn’t quit smoking after I got tongue cancer cause smoking didn’t cause it.”

On a possible reunion with David Lee Roth:

HS: “Diamond David Lee Roth never wanted piano in Van Halen.”
EVH: “You mean cubic zirconia?”
HS: “You’re never going to do a reunion with him, are you?”
EVH: “Ummm…You know, I’m open to anything.”
HS: “Really? He makes it seem like you are never open…”
EVH: “In 2000 Alex and I tried to pull something together with him.”
HS: “What happened? You couldn’t stand being around him?”
EVH: “No, the guys’s a loose cannon - but I can deal with loose cannons.”
Robin: “Everyone says you’re the problem.”
EVH: “Yeah, because I don’t respond or talk about this stuff.”

On Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony’s current Sans Halen tour:

EVH: “Michael Sobolewski [Michael Anthony’s real last name] is out touring with ‘the little red rocker’ … I mean the little red worm. I got no problem with these guys, but they’re billing themselves as the other half of Van Halen. My brother is the other half of Van Halen. They’re out there selling hot sauce and tequila and playing all my songs. It doesn’t bother me. It just makes them a cover band.”

On the porno movie he wrote two songs for:

EVH: “I don’t call it porn. I call it sex. It’s like Braveheart with a cum shot. Everyone’s giving me their dweeb opinion about this - but without sex you wouldn’t be here to give me your dweeb opinion.”

On his new girlfriend:

EVH: “I have a girlfriend. Her name’s Janie. She’s a press agent…You’re damn right she’s super hot. We met at a press conference. We’ve been together two months.”

On his fifteen-year-old son Wolfgang joining Van Halen:

EVH: “My son Wolfgang plays drums, guitars and bass. This kid is fucking dangerous. If I excel at the speed of sound, he excels at the speed of light. My brother goes, ‘This is the first time I’ve had bass in my headphones.’ He’s only fifteen years old and he’s getting laid. He’s spanking it too.”
HS: “How do you know that?”
EVH: “When you spend 45 minutes in the bathroom you’re not taking a shower. … Valerie and I have joint custody of Wolfgang. For the last couple of weeks Alex, he and I have been jamming together.”
HS: “You wouldn’t go back on the road with Hagar, would you?”
EVH: “I’m pretty much open to anything. What’s going to happen is that there’s a new member of Van Halen, and that is my son.”
HS: “I’m hearing your son is in and Michael Anthony is out.”
EVH: “My son is in and Sobolewski can do whatever he wants. The name Van Halen, the family legacy, is going to go on long after I’m gone. This kid is just a natural. I’m going to have him play on a solo record, and it’s going to be out - he and I.”

VAN HALEN LOOKING AT 2007 LIVE DATES:
So, the word has started to leak...Van Halen are setting up a tour for 2007 and should everything fall into place it will start sooner rather than later. David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen and Wolfgang Van Halen have gotten together and parties involved in all aspects of the Van Halen machine are mobilizing to get this tour set up. I can confirm dates and venues are being penciled in. There isn't much more I can say at this time, but safe to say should everything go to plan (and we all know how things can change with these guys), the band should hit the road for US dates starting in September.

Reunited Van Halen Eyeing Fall Arena Run

July 03, 2007, 10:00 AM ET
Ray Waddell, Nashville

A proposed summer amphitheater tour by a reunited Van Halen that was derailed when guitarist Eddie Van Halen checked into rehab now looks like it may be resurrected as a fall arena run. Several arena holds are in place in major markets for potential Van Halen dates, Billboard.com has learned.

The tour, negotiations for which were first tipped here on Jan. 24, would feature David Lee Roth, Eddie and Alex Van Halen and Eddie Van Halen's teenage son Wolfgang on bass.

Wheels had been in motion for a 40-date, Live Nation-produced amphitheater tour, with original frontman Roth back in the fold for the first time in more than 20 years. Van Halen last toured in 2004 with vocalist Sammy Hagar, grossing nearly $40 million, according to Billboard Boxscore.

But the reunion never got off the ground, and Eddie Van Halen entered a rehabilitation facility for undisclosed reasons in March. In the months since, the artist has been seen publicly looking healthy and fit.

The buzz surrounding the prospect of a Van Halen tour with Roth seems to point toward a successful trek. "I see it absolutely as an inevitability," Roth told Billboard.com more than a year ago regarding a tour with his ex-bandmates. "To me, it's not rocket surgery. It's very simple to put together. And as far as hurt feelings and water under the dam, like what's-her-name says to what's-her-name at the end of the movie 'Chicago' -- 'So what? It's showbiz!'"

Draft Dodger · 07-03-2007, 02:49 PM

I'm sure it will be like the last VH tour - overpriced, undersold, and sloppily played.
