       Your absolutely right that the quality sucks. I posted what
       started hitting YouTube. I'm hopeful someone there got some
       decent video and the entire Set instead of songs. If I find
       those and it's of better quality, I will post more. You wouldn't
       know it from here, but a lot of people were uploading
       Dave....talking.
       ZzzzzZZzzzzzZZZzzzzzZZZzzzzz........
       Yeah, that's what people want to see.

       This is somewhat better in quality, which is being generous
       here. The downside to this 15 minute clip is the annoying
       twaaaat that felt the need to record himself singing along. I've
       never wanted to punch a face as much as his. Alex's drums sound
       pretty good but damn, that's the smallest kit I've ever seen him
       play on. Dave needs to turn on his mic. In all the videos so
       far, you can't hear him at all.

       [glow=red,2,300]Van Halen to kick off tour, album in February

       [quote](Reuters) - Veteran rockers Van Halen said on Friday that
       they will kick off a North American tour with original lead
       singer David Lee Roth in mid-February, shortly after the release
       of the band's first full album with Roth in nearly 30 years.
       "A Different Kind of Truth" will be released in the United
       States on Feb 7 but the first single, "Tattoo," and its
       accompanying video, will debut on Jan 10. Roth's last album with
       the group was the popular "1984," released on Dec 31, 1983.
       The band will be joined by Kool & The Gang for select dates on
       the 40-plus city tour, which opens at the KFC Yum! Center in
       Louisville, Kentucky on Feb 18 with over four months of dates
       through the New Orleans Arena announced so far.
       Tickets go on sale on Jan 14.
       Van Halen's relationship with Roth has been a stormy one over
       the years. Roth left the band in a bitter breakup in 1985, only
       to rejoin for a performance at the MTV Video Music Awards in
       1996, then quickly depart in another bitter split.
       He returned to Van Halen for a tour in 2007-2008.
       The band, whose early hits include "Runnin' with the Devil" and
       "Dance the Night Away," was among the leading rock acts of the
       late 1970s, 1980s and into the 1990s, when Sammy Hagar replaced
       Roth as singer.
       Michael Anthony was the original bassist, but alongside Hagar he
       has joined another band, Chickenfoot. Wolfgang Van Halen,
       Eddie's son, took over on bass.

       I will say this about Wolfie's bass playing, it's much improved
       and dare I say...good. He's still no Michael Anthony in the
       vocal department, but the kid can lay down a solid bass groove
       with Alex and give Eddie something to work off of.

       Good. It's obvious they have made choices which led them to
       unexpected areas. As long as it's good for us, I'm for it. I
       just hope they continue to contribute to good music and don't
       implode.

       I am curious and can't wait to pick up the new album and see
       what the kid can bring. The only "negative" thing about the new
       album is that it's not new material. The songs from what I have
       heard from others talking about, are old. We are talking about
       songs that were written, going back as far as to the bands
       inception. The only thing missing were the lyrics and of course
       the vocals. So any ideas about the 4 of them getting into a room
       and writing new songs here is a stretch. Take this with a grain
       of salt as it hasn't been confirmed or denied yet.

       From stereogum
       [quote]Earlier today, Van Halen released the video for “Tattoo,”
       their first song with David Lee Roth since those cuts from Best
       Of Volume I. But as it turns out, that new song might not
       actually be a new song. According to Rolling Stone, former Van
       Halen singer Sammy Hagar, the guy who replaced Roth when he
       parted ways with the band, claims that the forthcoming album A
       Different Kind Of Truth is made up of songs that the band wrote
       back in the early days: “Ed and Dave didn’t actually write new
       songs. They took old stuff from previous sessions, and then
       maybe Dave had to go in and add vocals because they just had
       scat vocals, or even no vocal part at all.”
       When the band announced the new-album plans with a quick set at
       New York’s Café Wha?, they debuted a song called “She’s The
       Woman,” which actually appeared on a 1976 demo. And as some fans
       have noticed, “Tattoo” sounds pretty similar to “Down In
       Flames,” a song the band played live but never recorded. Below,
       listen to “Tattoo” back-to-back with a version of “Down In
       Flames” that they played on New Year’s Eve in 1977.[/quote]
       Maybe a little underwhelmed coming out of the gate?
       The first single tattoo is ok. It does sound like 35 years ago.
       For some that's great, others may be looking for something, uh,
       new.

       Once I saw the link, I knew it would involve a Brown M&M. We
       have all heard about this request of theirs. But not many people
       know or even understand why the request was made. If you're a
       good little boy and clean up your room today, I will tell you
       this wonderful story called....The Brown M&M.
