As long as Michael Anthony is still left out, it isn't Van Halen. They can go fark themselves.

Don't be... just because it is old doesn't mean it isn't freaking sweet. People still quote Casablanca, too.

Would it have been too much to include a video link, NYT?

Tickets cost between US $29.50 - US $149.50

If Michael Anthony was playing I'd easily pay $150 a ticket to see them.

Since they brought Wolfgang in the band, I thought it would cool if they auditioned for someone with the last name Van Halen who could sing their songs. Then they would all be VAN HALEN.
 
2012-01-06 12:34:56 PM
I just hope this new album doesn't end up being like the album we all agreed didn't happen. I love the new stuff from Anthrax, Megadeth,some new awesome "Me Wise Magic" VH stuff would be nice.

Horse shiat. If they were able to call themselves Van Halen with that poser assclown generic singer Sammy Hagar in there, then they can certainly call themselves Van Halen now.

Especially when the guy replacing Michael Anthony is farking named VAN HALEN.

The entire David Lee Roth era are some of the best hard rock albums ever. Especially "Fair Warning" and "Women and Children First".

When 5150 came out, that was probably the most profound fan base split I've ever seen. Everybody had an opinion on it.

I will open myself up to ridicule for the sake of amusing the masses.

Every once in a while I would see a car with a front plate that was red with a diagonal white stripe and I would remark to myself:
"Cool! Van Halen fan!"

I'd love to comment upon your post, but I have no idea what you are talking about. None...at...all.



Really. I think this is the craziest thing I've seen on Fark. I don't think dougermouse read the article OR the headline OR any post in this thread and he hasn't heard any Van Halen news is the past 10 or 15 years. Is that even possible?

Thwack: Will they ever again play anything from the Van Hagar era?

Even Bruce Dickinson was man enough to do all three of the good songs from the Blayze Bayley-era Iron Maiden live when he returned.

And for the record, the Gary Cherone business happened in an alternate universe. The universe that has the Highlander sequels and we only have the one Highlander movie.

You had me right up until Casablanca...which was not a very good movie. Yes, a lot of movie cliches came out of it because it was popular, but "popular" and "good" are two different things. To Have and Have Not is what Casablanca could have been if it had been well written. Watch them back to back and see for yourself.

In a related note, just because something is quoted doesn't mean that it is freaking sweet. "People don't think it be like it is, but it do."

For reals. People don't realize it, but Anthony's vocals were a big part of that old VH signature sound. No, his bass playing wasn't as unique as someone like Les Claypool or Flea, but it's just not Van Halen without him.

/good musicians know when to be quiet as well as when to show off
