It is taken right off the CD and is only 500k in its entireity. It can be downloaded from Unchained World in the SOUNDROOM. Nowhere near the quality of the CD, but it'll tide you over till you get the CD. 2nd, I've been so busy doing updates on the web site that I've fallen behind in my Trades, I mean I need new stuff!!!! Several things I'm looking for are the GH Radio premier from a week or so ago, any of the MTV Video press things that have been on TV, and any other interviews period from TV regarding all the new HUB BUB!__ Let me know if anyone wants to trade for this stuff, as many of you know I have a good trade list. Also, a while back I sent a post regarding a new section coming to Unchained World featuring guitarists and their EVH guitar clones etc.. Well the section is not indexed yet, but you can sneak peek it by typing http://www.mnsi.net/~eric/fan.html There's tips for guitar painting, pictures etc. Check it out.

Well.. All this talked regarding the set list for BOV1, I thought I did a poll for 7 of my closest friends who listen to VH occasionally. We were sitting around the past Tuesday having a strip poker game and Listen to VH to celebrate my birthday and the strangest things is that the song that they all liked are those if not all that made it to the BOV1. These are their fav songs from each albums VH1- ATBL, Erup, Little Dreammers VH2- Dance, You're no good WCF- Craddle, Everybody want some Fair War- Unchained, Hear About it DD- Pretty Woman, Secret, Good times gone 1984- Jump, Panama, I'll wait 5150- Dreams, Love walks in, WCTBL OU812- When It's Love, Feel so good, Sucker FUCK- Dreams is over, Poundcake, TOTW BALANCE- Can't stop loving, not enough, take me back It's funny because whoever picked the set list for BOV1 knew what the casual fans liked. I also disagreed with some of the song on the set list too but if I am a first time listener I would like some if not all the songs. Since all of us here on the Mailling list are die-hard VH fans we tend to disagreed with some songs and there's no way in heaven anyone can pick a VH song for us but I know alot of people who said we've finally get to hear all of our fav VH songs in one disc.

With the exception of ATBL, they didn't get the best songs from any of their albums, IMHO. But I'm sure there are people who disagree with me (especially with Unchained from FW). I think WB/VH came up with a good selection of songs, though. I love this cd and I was one of those who hated the idea of a GH cd. BTW, I also have a Take THE Whiskey Home copy. Everyone does, right? ** MTV Vid Collection/MwM Lyrics ** >>>WB paid big bucks to have this thing air... don't for a minute thnk MTV did >>>it because they had a cool spell. >>I thought it might have been payback for the VMA appearance. >First, that show was NOT MTV's style.

The payback for the MVA (implied by >Val) was that MTV would continue to play VH videos, which in itself is not >saying much. Of course, I could be way off base here. I agree that it was a promo. I remember that Val implied that MTV put pressure on VH to do the awards thing, but I don't remember her being specific about them saying "do the awards or no more vids." I thought someone else on the list brought that up as a way that MTV might have pressured VH. I could be wrong on that, though. I still think it might have been payback for the awards show. >>In an interview that someone posted, Ed was saying that they were going over >>song possibilities with Dave and Dave initially didn't feel comfortable with >>the line "I know what you're thinking" from MWM. It sounded too angry, or >>something. But I also didn't get the impression that Ballard wrote the >>whole thing.

Those lyrics were >written and handed to him in the take-it-as-it-is or leave-it manner. God >VH, please don't go this way. Wait a minute, MwM lyrically it better than >Lil' Jack Horny or however that song goes. I wasn't saying that the MWM originally presented to Dave only had the one line. I would assume that if the one line existed then there was a pretty complete lyrical idea when it was presented to Dave. What I was trying to say was that Dave probably got to add his opinions on the lyrical content once they started working on the song. We know for sure that the one line existed before Dave started working on the song. Of course, this is all speculation on my part. I really don't care who writes the lyrics as long as Eddie keeps writing the music. As long as they don't write stupid lyrics over great music. >BTW, does anyone think it's strange that WACF has outsold FW? I think it's strange that anything has outsold FW.

We're talking about a Greatest Hits album. Not a "Fan's Poll Best Of". Greatest Hits albums are NOT for the fans. We proud onwers of all VH albums are going to buy it, just because of the new songs. This is the mechanism they invented some time ago, to sell these GH compilations. The compilations are done like this: you take the most popular songs (not exactly the best ones), to please the people who "like" the band (oh yeah, I know this song! :o) but don't want to buy all their records, and then you put some new stuff to make the fans buy it. It's simple and as well effective. Bon jovi did it, Aerosmith did it, now Van Halen does it. Not wanting to compare the bands, just complaining about record labels' policies. So, what about, instead of complaining, let's do like the guys who did the new set list, let's do this "VH Mailing List's Best Of Poll". What do you think? Maybe we send this stuff to Warner, and maybe they use it in the Best Of Vol.II! m----- Marcel Alexandre Cabral Ribas - -a---- Engenheiro Eletricista - Electrical Engineer - --r--- marcel@iaccess.com.br - ---c-- http://www.iaccess.com.br/~marcel - ----e- +55-048-2331095 - -----l +55-048-9726614 ------------------------------ From: OSCAR JAVIER GARCIA VERASTEGUI <950449@cenco.ulima.edu.pe> Date: Thu, 24 Oct 1996 11:46:58 GMT -5 Subject: Vh audio boots Hi: I have those things to offer and boots for audio or video meterail of VH: CD'S: Stryper/Against the law Inxs/The swing Winger/Winger Slaughter/Stick it live Winger/In the heart of the young Eight Wonder/Fearless CASSETTES: Black Crowes/Shake your moneymaker Def Leppard/Hysteria Ratt/Detonator Overkill/Horrorscope Jellyfish/Split milk The Posies/Dear 23 The nothern Pikes/Snow in June Ian Gillan & Roger Glover/Accidentally on Purpose Raven/Life's a bitch Depeche Mode/101 Vol.1 Regards, Oscar P.S.:Does anyone has Eric Johnson's guitar tabs?.I'm looking for the trascription of Camel's night out. ------------------------------ From: Mike Date: Thu, 24 Oct 1996 11:45:42 -0500 (CDT) Subject: Details Mr.Dan Shaner, I am inquiring about the status of the UN-CD's.

According to TELETEXT there is a great demand via internet for the reinstatement of DLR. TELETEXT feels that this is the wish of the majority of fans and there will now be a mass boycott of any future VH music concerning Gary Cherone. Personally I fully support this, as Sammy and particularly Dave were the vital edge that gave Van Halen its magic. Indeed Cherone is not in the same mould and Eddy would be better off swallowing his pride and getting back Dave if he wants VH to sell albums and tour. Van Halen is not just about Eddie's guitar playing. Maybe there should be an election to determine the future singer!!!!!!!!!!!! See ya Phil P.S.

I get the feeling that the song "Fools" summed up his sentiments for education. ------------------------------ From: jsmith@maillink.dataram.com Date: Thu, 24 Oct 96 12:58:27 EST Subject: Commercials for VH lcozad@cris.com (Liza) wrote: Date: Wed, 23 Oct 1996 21:43:46 -0700 Subject: Re: New Van Halen Commercial Wow...has there *ever* been a commercial for a VH new release?

If Edward were obsessing over this whole thing, perhaps a guest spot on Good Morning America would be appropriate. To my knowledge, which is very limited trust me, Dave has only been on Howard Stern, correct? I didn't hear the Stern show, but from what I hear Dave was rather diplomatic about the whole thing, but was Howard egging him on to say bad things about the band? I would assume so because that's how Howard is (long time fan). Perhaps Dave is looking for an appropriate outlet for his response (his book?). Maybe the "smart businessman" approach fits him. I don't think Ed is obsessing either. Is he just supposed to say "No comment" when people ask him what's been happening? I think since he's become sober he's become a lot more honest about his feelings. If he hates Dave, then if someone asks him about Dave, should he say Dave's a great guy? Sure he's done a lot of interviews, but should he decline them all in the name of being tactful? Maybe I'm way off the beaten path here, and all the "It's all Ed's fault" people will flame me so much that not even flame-retardant clothing will help me, but it's just my opinion, I could be wrong. Mark By the way, aren't Ed and Sam supposed to be friends (the supposed exchange of phone numbers)? ------------------------------ From: lcozad@cris.com Date: Thu, 24 Oct 1996 10:00:36 -0700 Subject: Re: Best of Vol. I (OU812) No doubt!!?!
