I agree that Ed is in a great zone and isn't afraid to put out something different - MWM IS different. He is a musical genious and it shows with the depth and variety of the tunes he can produce. His unique rhythm and groove will always lurk within him. ****** As for the happy departure of "Take me Back" and not being "rockin", I disagree. That was a great song and really speaks a lot melody wise. If you are lookin for rockin on that album, look no further than "Amsterdam" and "Aftershock". However, I do believe that "Humans Being" does fit into the context of the Balance album so I don't see why you relate this song to a new "crunchy - groove" type song. I think others would agree. Opinions? :) That should cover all the bases! But you are right, if the new album contains anything like the groove of MWM, than we are in for a new stylistic treat!

I have just downloaded the last section of the me wise magic clip and it is totally excellent!!!! (big understatement) Dave is just so right for Ed's guitar (or keyboard) - if this is allowed to pass it will be the biggest mistake they make apart from getting Cherone into the band, because we won't hear anything like MWM.....

Brian Good point, Brian. Maybe it took doing songs like Take Me Back, et al, to realize that it wasn't Ed's true style after all. Though he wrote the music for those songs, Sammy's wrap-up lyrics carved a different sound that might not have been Ed's original intention. Does this make sense?

We have seen the possibility of anyone from Billy Squier to Gary Cherone to a supposed narrowed down list of 30.(any of the Insiders know who was actually being considered?If so how bout a little info so we can banter even more) The facts are simple - For all you Sammy Fans - Mr. I Can't Drive 55 aint coming back.Get over it and accept it.Life does go on. For the Dave Fan's (which I am one) You could only hope but hey if the voice is shot well time to look for a new singer.

Both bands have similarities, they both have changed lead singers through the years and achieved greater success with the newer singer. You must be just too fucking ignorant to realize that! It seems to me that you want to control the opinions of others...but what could anyone expect from someone so stupid as to be a member of AOL (America OFF Line). How could anyone so stupid as to pay 9.95 for only 5 hours of service and then another 3 bucks an hour realize that Journey and Van Halen are bothe GREAT bands! Get a real internet account (like anyone that is only $20 bucks a month for UNLIMITED hours!) Then, and only then, will I acknowledge that you have any brains. But, then again, maybe not! Well, Joe ... though your reply is a little harsh, I wholeheartedly agree with your position on VH fans and Journey fans co-existing. The same can be said about RUSH. Color me stupid, but are their others out there (in mailing list land) that feel the same way? I mean, to me it seems simple ... if you like VH --sorry, LOVE VH, than you should also like RUSH and Journey. Again, is it just me, or does this cohesion not seem logical? VH, RUSH and Journey are three of the best inspirational rock bands in the last 20 years (other than KISS, Led Zep., and perhaps Def Leppard and ...ok, ok, there may be others, but without the full impact of the three aforementioned bands).

Adams" Date: Wed, 25 Sep 96 10:39:08 EST Subject: E-Mail Virus HOAX You might not want to forward that "Good Times" virus info to anyone because... ______________________________ Forward Header __________________________________ Subject: E-Mail Virus HOAX Author: Tom R. Raynor at NAESCO4 Date: 9/9/96 8:47 AM There are several "urban legends" surrounding the use of the Internet, and Internet E-mail in particular. NAESCo continues to experience repeated encounters with one such legend; "The Good Times Virus Hoax". The story goes like this: "There is a terrible virus that can spread to your computer simply by reading an E-mail message. Luckily for you, you can spot the virus-ridden message because it's known to have the words "Good Times" in the Subject: field. Since you are a very clever person, you will protect yourself and all your co-workers from this virus by spreading this warning to everyone you know." The facts are as follows: 1) THERE IS NO "GOOD TIMES" VIRUS!!!!!!! 2) And, even if there were, just reading an e-mail message text will NOT infect your computer. Nowadays, you CAN get infected if you LAUNCH AN APPLICATION, such as MS-Word, to view an attached e-mail message. But just viewing the text of a message in cc:MAIL can NEVER infect your computer. Ironically, this hoax spreads much more quickly than the hypothetical virus it warns against, and seems much harder to eradicate. Experienced Internauts laugh at beginners who believe and spread this hoax. I'm posting this in the hopes that will not happen to anyone else at NAESCo! We all have a professional obligation to research any "news" we get from the 'net, or from the proverbial "friend of a friend", before we spread it on the NAESCo LAN. Below is an excerpt from the "official" response to the Good Times Hoax, written back in 1994. You can link to the source yourself using Netscape Navigator, if you don't believe me. Excerpt from: CIAC Notes 94-04c - "Good Times" hoax Number 94-04c:December 8, 1994 Welcome to the fourth issue of CIAC Notes! This is a special edition to clear up recent reports of a "good times" virus-hoax. Let us know if you have topics you would like addressed or have feedback on what is useful and what is not. Please contact the editor, Allan L. Van Lehn, CIAC, 510-422-8193 or send E-mail to ciac@llnl.gov. THE "Good Times" VIRUS IS AN URBAN LEGEND In the early part of December, CIAC started to receive information requests about a supposed "virus" which could be contracted via America OnLine, simply by reading a message. The following is the message that CIAC received: Here is some important information. Beware of a file called Goodtimes. Happy Chanukah everyone, and be careful out there. There is a virus on America Online being sent by E-Mail. If you get anything called "Good Times", DON'T read it or download it. It is a virus that will erase your hard drive. Forward this to all your friends. It may help them a lot. THIS IS A HOAX. Upon investigation, CIAC has determined that this message originated from both a user of America Online and a student at a university at approximately the same time, and it was meant to be a hoax. CIAC has also seen other variations of this hoax, the main one is that any electronic mail message with the subject line of "xxx-1" will infect your computer. This rumor has been spreading very widely. This spread is due mainly to the fact that many people have seen a message with "Good Times" in the header. They delete the message without reading it, thus believing that they have saved themselves from being attacked. These first-hand reports give a false sense of credibility to the alert message. There has been one confirmation of a person who received a message with "xxx-1" in the header, but an empty message body. Then, (in a panic, because he had heard the alert), he checked his PC for viruses (the first time he checked his machine in months) and found a pre-existing virus on his machine. He incorrectly came to the conclusion that the E-mail message gave him the virus (this particular virus could NOT POSSIBLY have spread via an E-mail message). This person then spread his alert. As of this date, there are no known viruses which can infect merely through reading a mail message. For a virus to spread some program must be executed. Reading a mail message does not execute the mail message. Yes, Trojans have been found as executable attachments to mail messages, the most notorious being the IBM VM Christmas Card Trojan of 1987, also the TERM MODULE Worm (reference CIAC Bulletin B-7) and the GAME2 MODULE Worm (CIAC Bulletin B-12). But this is not the case for this particular "virus" alert. If you encounter this message being distributed on any mailing lists, simply ignore it or send a follow-up message stating that this is a false rumor. Karyn Pichnarczyk CIAC Team WHO IS CIAC?

CIAC is also a founding member of FIRST the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams, a global organization established to foster cooperation and coordination among computer security teams worldwide. << end of quoted material >> * Footnote: There is some scholarly debate over my claim that "Good Times" is not a virus. Some people would contend that it IS a virus; one that insidiously works by exploiting the weakest link in any computer system; the human operator! This is being called a "Memetic Virus", as in the following description: "...This is memetic warfare at work. For the "Good Times" chain letter is a virus, and its target is to spread using soft hearts as a vector of infection. ..." To take this to extremes, then, one might say the message you are reading now, and all other efforts to debunk the "Good Times" hoax, fall into yet another category of virus, as in the following excerpt: "[This debunking message] ... operates by the same means as the other memetic lifeforms that it seeks to destroy. By indicating (falsely) that the "Good Times" virus will bring actual harm to the recipient, it tries to quench the spread at the site of the potential vector. It might be termed a contingent virus, as its propagation relies on the "Good Times" virus to be effective. ..." As for me, I'm not getting any further into this debate. I've learned enough already! ------------------------------ From: Steve Wallace Date: Wed, 25 Sep 1996 09:53:57 -0400 Subject: Re: Get your own list At 09:35 AM 09/25/1996 -0400, WeidnerE@DGCOM.COM wrote: >From: DFeze@aol.com >Jouney is a pussy band,that is even worthy of licking the sweat of >Eddies balls.

At this point in this PR game, I have decided to hold off on buying the GH album until it can be confirmed that Dave is back in the band. The radio is going to give the two new tracks plenty of airplay anyway, so I'll still hear them regularly. If this Gary Cherone rumor is true, I will not be buying any more "Van Halen" music. When Hagar replaced Dave in 1986, it was a painful adjustment; nevertheless, I adjusted and bought all of the new albums (it was still good music, as opposed to the divine early material). In June of this year, when I heard that Dave was working with the band again, I was, to say the least, pumped. Gary Cherone, however, will be too much. I would rather see Sammy back in the fold (this is painful to say) than see Gary Cherone lead Van Halen. I am sure that I'll get plenty of flames on this one, but I am just being honest with all of you. Van Halen, as I new and loved it, ended in 1984. If Dave is back in, great. If not, its been fun.

His place is called Los Cabos Fishing, his name is Jeff Klassen (he's Canadian) and his stop is just up the street from Cabo Wabo. Keep walking past the club (away from the main street) and when you hit the corner, keep going straight across the street and turn right. You'll be right in front of it. Tell him I told you about it. :) >Is anyone gonna check out the VH award thing at Tower Records on Saturday, >the 5th? I'm still trying to decide what to do the 4th-6th.
