Van Halen roll call

this friday, i'll be there. :)

Sorry, I'm holding out for the Anaheim show to be with my boys like the good ol' days. I wonder how many of them are going to cancel because of wives/kids?

Come on, some of you have to be going to this? Don't be shy….

I would have really thoguht about it, if the whole controversy over Van Hagar's Greatest Hits Volume 2 didn't come up. Now they'll never get a cent more of my money. Bastards.

notice, with the exception of the last three songs off of GH#1, a soundtrack filler, and two new ones with DLR, all of the previous ones appear on GH#2. Granted, a bunch of other stuff does too, but still, it just really pisses me off. It makes a mokcery of the first GH, and all the suckers who bought it – myself included. So, no more money from me will they get. I'm sure I paid $16 for that CD. Bastards…

That's why you won't go see them live? That's ridiculous!

You can find just about every VH album in the $1 bins these days anyway, so why buy a Greatest Hits package in the first place? Just buy the originals and put together a redsock greatest hits collection so crap like "an't Stop Lovin' You" doesn't sneak into your mix.

For .99 cents you can download the new tracks and you have the whole collection for less than the cost of the Greatest Hits package.

Well, Exit Clov's playing that night too… but still, i'm sticking to my guns. Besides, would you trust anyone who thought Gary from Extreme was a good singer?

It's good to have principles.

Nonetheless, It will be interesting to see who gets in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame first: Van Halen or Exit Clov.

VH Suck

I'll be there.

No more than I would trust anyone who thought Sammy Hagar was a good singer.

Theres alot of people that arent good singers but are still good. Liz Phair for example, she's good but she's definetely not one of the best singers in the world or even close to it. She's just got a unique voice and writes good songs. But if she were in a contest, aint no way she's even coming close to winning.

I read that quickly & thought at first you were dismissing Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love…which is one of the best badass rock songs of ALL time.

But - upon further review, I see that you were talking about some other crap & my faith in vansmack has been restored.

I would never dismiss "Ain't talkin' 'bout love!" - I will now whistle that opening lick all day!

I remember spending days trying to learn that lick on the guitar way back when. Sweet lick.

Hey Redsock, bear in mind that many times the records labels are the ones pushing these new release compilations and not the band. The band sometimes will go along with it because they are pressured into it. So it's OK to protest by not buying the CD, but I wouldn't necessarily punish the band. You never know if the label is at fault.

i saw Van Halen back in 1991 with Alice In Chains (when they were nobodys) and they were pretty good. I was in the LAST row of Maple Leaf Gardens but still, they rocked, and they always will!
