Having all domain issues solved, it was time to kick back and wait for christmas weekend to arrive. As Sammy Hagar would say in the song Amsterdam, "Light 'em up!". We added our christmas lights not only to bring cheer and holiday togetherness..but to simply have more lights than VHforums.com does. hahahaha Merry Christmas Brett.

I sincerely Hope all visitors to this site and your families have a safe and happy holiday.

Come the new year, I will give all Van Halen Fans around the globe some VERY Cool news. Everyone will want one, and yes it does involve a tour, but no...there is no singer. We don't need a singer for this kind of tour. Know what it is yet? I'll let you think about that one. Stay tuned.

VHvault.com is down..if you can see this message..your lucky...LOL

meanwhile...

or if you want to see any vhvault member sites go to:
http://66.70.190.25/vhvault/membersites.html

I've transfered the domain to networksolutions from another isp (which I didn't like). To ensure vhvault's future without any problems I wanted to make sure I was dealing with a good company. Well, during this transfer, they somehow put the domain vhvault.com linked to an OLD name server...therefore some or all of you can't see vhvault.com right now. It will be back. I've submitted the correct server info. and all should be good in 24-48hrs.

He Helped Eddie Van Halen Tape up his guitar, and even dubbed in (Backstage) Eddie's blazing lead riffs when his fingers were "tour weary" and on rare occasion dub in David Lee Roth's vocals when his pipes needed a rest. Who is this guy you ask?

Note From Hain23x:

Some of you will remember that I made a video for "Me Wise Magic" back in the spring as a protest to TK and their crappy video called "Look at all the People Here Tonight" well, I wanted to show them that they weren't the only ones who could make a video using $35 software! So without further backslappin' or brownnosin' I present to you the rest of the trilogy. Yes, I know they kinda look alike but you have to remember that I was using a limited number of clips so don't expect the 2nd coming or nothing! -Enjoy.

10-08-01 ..."an article from the April '79 issue of Record Review. This one is very cool! It is written by Steven Rosen. ( This is the guy that kept reporting in Guitar World, in the mid eighties, that he was writing a biography of EVH. ) It contains an interview with Ed just prior to the release of VH II, and in it he makes references to "Angel Eyes" and "Big Trouble" and also has some interesting comments about Ritchie Blackmore".

I'm back from vacation, time for some updates. If you haven't heard or seen this yet, check it out, 2 very creative people have put their minds together.

New Book Illustrates Van Halen's Strange and Twisted Past, Present and Future!

New Book Brings Relief to Van Halen Fans.

 

These days, it's tough to be a Van Halen fan. After the failed David Lee Roth reunion in 1996, the mercifully brief reign of frontman, Gary Cherone and Edward Van Halen's alleged battle with cancer - the future of Van Halen remains uncertain. And Fan frustration escalates with every cryptic press release and comment from band members and other public figures "in the know".

Van Halen fans finally have a reason to rejoice. Crank Farm Comics, an independant publishing company located in Portland, OR, has released a new illustrated book, entitled: Van Halen: Strange & Twisted Tales. The book is an epic parody of the entire history and future of Van Halen. Nothing is sacred and no band member (past or present) is left un-skewered. The book also features a hilarious glimpse at the much anticipated Van Halen/Roth reunion.

Brilliantly written and conceived by Lance Watts and beautifully illustrated by Garth Jones, Strange and Twisted Tales distills the entire Van Halen universe and all it's inhabitants into the most entertaining book ever written about the world's greatest rock band. It's a must-have for fans and collectors.

To order a copy of Van Halen: Strange & Twisted Tales, visit www.crankfarm.com.
At just $9.95 (US) no Van Halen, Sammy Hagar or David Lee Roth fan should be without one.

Welcome to the following 3 members!!!

Email Request from ~Nyssa Graff~:

  "Hello, I have been visiting several major VH websites in hope to gain some support. I am sure you are firmiliar with the cable/satellite channel VH1 which broadcasts a show "Behind The Music" which focuses one hour on a band. They have created many shows, yet surprisingly, Van Halen is not one of them. They even have one on Creed!! Think of all the stories Van Halen could tell.

I am hoping to create a petition!!!

Have anyone who is interested in a Van Halen Behind The Music e-mail: VHbtm@vhguitar.com
If you do not have VH1 then it is still wonderful press for Van Halen. Remember that fans have the power and the voice. Please say you will help!! Thank you!!"

What can this hurt, email VHbtm@vhguitar.com, and support Van Halen on VH1, because VH, is #1 right???
