The VH brothers had no problem receiving $1 million for the use of Right Now for a Crystal Pepsi commercial back in the 90s.

Van Halen should be proud and flattered that millions of people
heard their song that night. McCain just gave them a huge amount of free publicity. And Palin as well, saying she’s a fan. Hello, is anyone home?

Sammy Hagar most likely game permission. All they need is one.

The VH brothers should be happy “Right Now” was used in this way, nothing but good could come from it! Eddie and Alex really need to do two things, one chill out and two please, please as a lifelong Van Halen fan bring Michale Anthony back!

“How can you be a VH fan and be right wing”
—————
Easy, don’t be a failure in a capitalistic society & you can afford to purchase the music that you like.

“Clinton had sex in the oval office! COOL!”

Yes, the entire nation was quite proud of that illustrious moment.

Love the “hate sex” part, btw. Every righty I bump into is always complaining about sex & how much they hate it. I bet they kick puppies, too.

Talk about shooting fish in a freaking barrel. Stick to discussing music & leave the politics to the adults, okay?

If you are looking to Van Halen songs(lyrically) as a road map on how to live your life you are a loser. Sorry.

Its not about the fact that most VH songs glamorize sex and drugs….its about the fact that its a bad-ass band, period.

“How can you be a Van Halen fan and be right wing”??? Is a ludicrous statement.

Just as a guess…I would venture that most die-hard VH fans are moderate to relatively conservative. Not that it matters though.
