Hi,

I want to let Van Halen know how much the fans are behind the idea of the Van Halen Movie.

I’ve heard from many of you privately or on this board, in favor and not, but now let me hear you at your loudest, most passionate, most loving and supportive!

PM me or post it here. I’ll put them together and get them to the band.

My own is below…

Please include your name and where you’re from. If you want, include your favorite song and/or album, what shows you’ve seen.

Please no, “when’s the next record” or other complaints, stay positive!

Here’s mine:

Ed,

You should make this movie because people don’t really know your story. They think they know, but they don’t.

It’s a story that transcends rock and roll, it’s a human story of triumph and tragedy. It’s about family and love and loss. It’s an American Dream story that speaks to everyone.

IT WOULD BE MONSTEROUS!!!

Mike, Los Angeles
Favorite album: Fair Warning
Favorite song: Unchained
Shows: 1986 Detroit, 1988 Alpine Valley, 1998 Chicago, 2004 St. Paul, 2004 LA, 2007 Charlotte, 2007 LA.

This is the best video EVER! I have watched this everyday, and I can’t stop laughing. I literally have tears in my eyes!!
It is genius! The voices are hilarious! The best part is the “IMMIGRANT” parts where he says “always play with passion boys” and “drink this, but don’t tell your mother”. I love love love it! Especially when Eddie talks about kickin Dave in the nuts! Oh man, who else sees the beauty in this, it is pure entertainment. The Valerie part ha!!!! “I’m with you Eddie” hahahah! Some folks may be taking this too seriously with the posted comments but man it is the best thing on the web right now! The Dave voice is hilarious!Ok I’m done I hope the guy who made this is very successful because he has brightened up my days-brother you are good!

Yeah, I chased the Van Halen guitar glory dream for 17 years- More years than I should have held on for. All the years after the FAIR WARNING era were a series of unfortunate letdowns and hope disappointments. After that, each album had only 2 songs each of what they built their following and reputation on.

I will say this- when I heard Me Wise Magic on the radio, I knew they could still do it if they really wanted to. But I agree with Jim’s comments above about Eddie’s attitude towards the fans that made him. But the man has a serious problem that took the life of his father and threatens his life too, and we should be praying for his recovery and mental well-being.

Any movie that would be made that covered anything after FAIR WARNING would just be detrimental to Ed and the rest of Van Halen and the fans, in my opinion. Eddie although gifted with guitar genius has become a drunken pathetic fool from the reports circulating in the last 10-15 years. He used to be my hero, now I just feel sorry for him now.

Man…it´s would be easier to make a movie about Hendrix…($$$$ too)

Eddie Van Halen is my Guitar Hero, but is a crazy and too much complicated(boring)human being. Ask Mike, Dave, Sammy…

If this movie idea is about EVH, forget it.

Sorry, man!!

Why we, the VH fans don´t make a official pettition to ask for a new cd??? Even a Eddie Van Halen solo-instrumental release??

Let´s kick the Van Halen asses!!!

Jan van Halen’s accent sounds ridiculous, I thought it was Achmed the dead terrorist.
