hard copies baby.

oddly enough , there is more profit for selling a no-cost mp3 for 4 bux than manufacturing a cd and selling it for 15….

Who cares about Chicken Feed, bring on EVH and Dave in 2010!!!!!!!
VH2008

256 kbps MP3′s are great – I have an awesome stereo and I can’t hear any difference at all between 256 kbps MP3′s or an actual CD.

By the way, the album is FANTASTIC – and this is an opinion that comes from a die hard Roth era VH fan!
Adrian

haha desperation anyone?
Rodney

VH will sell the mp3 version for 3X the price…..the same with their tickets.
VH2008

Adrian,

They are not desperate at all. They are the #1 selling downloadable album on Amazon right now! And the #7 selling CD!

I actually wish all downloads were in this price range. $10 for an album and not getting any artwork or anything to hold is a rip off. $4 is much more reasonable. Good for them.

Rodney, VH charges more because their show costs more to produce. It costs considerably more to rent out Madison Square Garden than Irving Plaza. That’s the diplomatic answer. The better answer is that VH charges more because they know their fans are over 30 and have the money to pay for it. That’s not greedy, that’s smart.
Adam

Regarding concert ticket prices – I hope by now that all people old enough to be VH & CF fans and post on VHND would realize that ALL bands CHARGE WHAT THEY CAN GET for their ticket prices.

I can’t believe that there are people out there who think that cheap ticket prices mean that a band is being “nice” to their fans. (Not that CF isn’t nice – they are – but they can’t charge what VH can, so they don’t).

Just bought the disc and still gonna buy the album on mp3.

Amazing album. Sounds great.

I love “Turning Left” and “Future in the Past”.

I know the haters are still gonna piss and moan all over this but all I have to say is at least give this album a chance.

Good quality rock is good for ALL of us. It sure beats the hell out of the canned crap they call rock being put out today.
Mike

Note that the Amazon version does not contain the bonus track “Bitten By The Wolf”. To get that, you have to either buy the vinyl from Best Buy (it comes with a code to download all 12 tracks as MP3) or get it at iTunes (10 bucks).

can’t beat $4 …Amazon has this right + the band makes the same $$ even on the 3-day sale price
Karl

VH2008, you need to get you ears checked.

And to all the haters: Joke’s on you guys, the album sounds very good indeed.
SCAR

Right on Karl!!!!
Rick

If I get my economics right, the price is what equals supply and demand. $3.99 then, that’s what it’s “worth”
http://www.musicgeekmedia.com Matt Collen

The album rocks… It is cool to hear Joe Satriani in a real rock band. While Chickenfoot is no Van Halen, they are still badass.
Shawn

Hey… it’s available NOW on iTunes (US) too! DRM Free. $9.99 (Bonus Track Version) includes “Bitten By The Wolf.”
Rod

Can someone please tell me where the VAN HALEN site is that used to be here……….somehow they have changed to wall to wall coverage of a sub par band!
Thanks!
SCAR

Wow, what a happy foot day it’s been so far!! Just saw the foot on the tonight show and they played “Oh Yea” and they sounded pretty damn good!!!! Chad Smith wore a I’m not Will Ferrel t-shirt – pure comedy!!!! Remember get your buzz on this weekend and leave all the drama behind!!!!

I love how all the ed clones are complaining about all CF news, and ‘where oh where has my little VH newsdesk gone?”
Well as you have been living in the dellusional closet for the past decade, VH hasnt got any news. No new tunes, no new projects, only sneakers, guitars, tuners and porno soundtracks.
Yes, Ed did venture out the other day, but even then he couldnt tell the truth and bullshitted about Mike.
Some of you may hate Sam, but you cant Mike, and Eddie pissed on him, so how is your hero now friends?
Bring on the foot, we all need a change from the bullshit, lies and false promises.
An alternative NOW exists. Embrace whats happening, not what is said to happen, we have been fooled too many times before, and we wont get fooled again.

ENOUGH ALREADY WITH CHICKENFOOT!!!!!!!!!!

ENOUGH ALREADY WITH KENNY THE CLOWN!
http://vhnd 50yrold fan

i keep wondering why the sammy haters and cf bashers don’t get the fact that there is no vh news to report. at least we can hear about former members. get a f**king clue.
DANNYBOY

EL C- Well said. It should never take someone so talented so damn long to release new material-They would have been nowhere without the fans-very little respect for the fans.
VIVA THE DESK!!!
pushtoshove

Hail to the sleepy brothers for snoozing and losing. The foot rocks!!!!! Hey scar-cese , lighting the fatty! …..Cough>.cough>.cough>>>…..Ere’…..it this’….
HotRats

“ENOUGH ALREADY WITH CHICKENFOOT!!!!!!!!!!”

“Can someone please tell me where the VAN HALEN site is that used to be here……….somehow they have changed to wall to wall coverage of a sub par band!”

“Who cares about Chicken Feed, bring on EVH and Dave in 2010!!!!!!!”

You Ed heads realize you are a broken record right? The owners of the website arent going to stop with Chickenfoot for one reason – Site Traffic.

Without Chickenfoot, this website would be dead and eventually people would stop coming to it at all. Does anyone remember the dark ages ala 2003 where NOTHING was going on?

So instead of acting like a lonely wife, be thankful chickenfoot news is keeping this site going. Cause other than that little burst of Ed news, you guys are going to be holding your breath for a REALLY, REALLY, REALLY long time.

Oh, and one more thing. Read the top of this website. It clearly says

“The Net’s Best Source for Van Halen, David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar, & CHICKENFOOT NEWS”

NUFF SAID
Rubbing Wit Da Debbol

I got mine. It’s still growing on me, but I think it’s a decent rock album. And VHND, you go right on ahead and keep promoting the latest haps of all VH members, past and present.
juca

Next year nobody knows CF. Anyway, not bad album.
Jeff

Best Buy opened at 10:00am.
I had my CD at 10:05 am.
Had it blasting in my car at 10:08.
And at 10:15am got pulled over for speeding!!!!!
It was well worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pete

to everyone still wondering why there isnt more van halen news on here.if you want a site that has van halen news only then just simply shut your computer off because its the same thing.
pete

funny thing is that there is more of a chance for a new chickenfoot album next year then there is for a new van halen album.if you compare van halen sites like this in 2000 and this year it would probably be hard to tell them apart.

Eddie Van Halen: The reason that I picked up the guitar 20 years ago. Joe Satriani: One reason to pursue mastery over the instrument. Eddie brought us the tap-ons & dive bombs. But, Joe takes it to it to a whole new level. I am so happy for Mikey & wish the Foot the best ! Without Mikey, VH has a huge void to fill both musically & vocally. Another example of Ed’s ego being the demise of something great. Let’s not forget who failed to appear at the Hall of Fame induction.
Karl

“Eddie brought us the tap-ons & dive bombs.”

Is that really what you think Eddie brought to the guitar? I’m always amazed when a guitarist doesn’t get it…
Andrew

Saw Chickenfoot on the Tonight Show friday night. Reminded me of a line in a song.
“I saw your band on stage last night, dancing around like a wounded duck!” Is Sammy for real? He could be on Dancing with the Stars. Maybe he took lesson’s from Celine Dion!
pushtoshove

Quit crying Karl….Ed’s making some mistakes right now and alot of people are upset…it is their right
Jor-L5150

good show with conan , conan’s cool.

very nice that joe ave conan a guitar .

the band is good , LOVE the way mike is amped up a lot more thanin the VH mix . sammy does need to give more thought to above-par lyrics , but i am satisfied about his performing ability.

getting the vinyl tomorrow !!!
Karl

pushtoshove: Eh, what?
Aftershock

I watched Chickenfoot on Conan, too. I’ve got to say I was underwhelmed.

Don’t know if it was just the song or the performance as a whole. I was excited to see them — I guess, I was just expecting more.

I’ll still get the album and give it a fair listen — I have liked a lot of the song snippets I’ve heard so far.

I did think it was cool of Joe to give his guitar to an obviously surprised Conan. Mike looked to be having a great time. I liked Chad’s drumming and shirt. But the whole package just seemed flat to me.
phillip m

Karl,

Given the space here, I am disinclined to write a thesis about VH v. Chickenfoot comparisons. Yes, VH has a musical legacy. I’m not disputing that. From a musician’s point of view, there are qualitative differences. Its a fallacy to presume that musicians can’t appreciate the other intangible components of either VH or Chickenfoot.
http://mitchgalietta.com Mitch

Wow, that’s great! After I got suckered into paying full price! I got a free download for buyin it on vinyl. But The pressing is pretty poor quality!

It’s an O.K. Album. Need to listen to it more, but. . . . Will Ferrell does an ok job, to much with the cymbals! Nice to hear Mikey! Sammy’s Lyrics aren’t much. Joe is a Bad ass player NO QUESTION , but the overall hooks don’t seem to be there. But, It’s a cool album all in all.

Hopefully, on tour they grow, and do another album.
pushtoshove

I feel the same way about lots of music ( it seems flat ) but then I opened my mind to new ideas and let go of the past….It helps…I know old Van Halen May never be topped…but maybe it shouldn’t be. I hope the new stuff ( VH ) sounds very different.
DANNYBOY

DISINCLINED?THESIS?QUALITATIVE?FALLACY TO PRESUME? INTANGIBLE COMPONENTS? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? GO HAVE SOME JACK, LIGHT UP A J, AND STOP AMAZING US WITH YOUR DICTION…cheerio old bean-

i don’t get why people get on a vh site and bag vh.then they try to justify it by calling vh fans “haters”.if i get on a chickenugget site and bag on them you “fans” would scream injustice.snatch is no eddie van halen.this band,while solid,is no vh.i’ll listen to the cd and actually enjoy some of the tunes but i’m not dilusional.eddie is not dead.roth is not dead.there is no reason to “let go” as someone has put it.vh rules.eat it.

Happy Birthday Steve Vai

“I am not Will Ferril” Chad Smith is hilarious!! (His hair too!)

Solid performance on Conan!!

What the hell was everybody expecting? Riser jumps by Sammy?

Hey-Zues Chreesto…

Seriously.

So tired of all the Chickenfoot hate/smack/retardedness.

So sick of it….
http://www.droppingalmonds.com Bach Anon

Really good album…

Didn’t know how Satch would incorporate his style; very well done.

Blues licks with some shredding!

Comparisons to EVH? EVH hasn’t put anything out this good since F.U.C.K.

Rod: “Can someone please tell me where the VAN HALEN site is that used to be here……….somehow they have changed to wall to wall coverage of a sub par band!”

The Van Halen site that used to be here is still here. All you need to do is dig back about two years in the archives for the news, and more than 10 years in the archives for news of an actual new album. If all you want is VH news, just start reading back then and pretend you’re living in the past. I’m sure you’ll get lots of responses to your comments on those posts.

You’ll find several promises of a vast arsenal of new music from EVH since then, but nothing that you can actually throw down your money to buy.

I bought the CF album and I’d say it’s not exactly sub-par. Maybe not as good as the better VH albums, but certainly better than some of them. Absolutely much better than most of the crap that’s been released in the last few years from other so-called “rock” bands.

For pretty well every Van Hagar album, I had to listen a few times to pick out more than one or two songs that I really liked. I got 4 on the first listen to the CF album, so I’d say it’s a pretty strong offering.

And even if it’s the only album they ever make, or the only one that’s any good, I’ll be listening to some of it 10 years from now I’m sure. There are lots of one-hit wonder albums from 10, 20 years ago that are still in my rotation.
satovan

sexy lil thing is my girls favorite and i have to say it has that certain sound that VH had with Sammy, is it just the fact that Mike is in the backround with great vocals and a drivin bass? maybe i’m just nostalgic or waitin for new VH and am used to hearin Sammy on the vocals with a great guitar player needless to say this shit makes my blood pump and cant wait to see these guys live! until VH 2010 comes round this stuff will satisfy me! Cold beer, Sticky bud and chickenfoot on the stereo = good times! feel sorry for those who just cant enjoy it! Rickyvanwhalen heres to you bro still waitin for that $500 post of your magnificent VH guitar lesson! ha ha!
Rod

to each his own…..

I find most of the lyrics silly and the music isnt that knock you on your ass vibe I am looking for. Just not my thing!
I wish them luck!

But my point stands! whether vanhalen never puts another song out this is still a vanhalen site, not a chickenfoot site, and that is exactly what it has turned into. I would rather have old pics and stories about van halen than anything about this band……..just my opinion!

But I bet I am not alone!
Karl

phillip m, my comment wasn’t a VH v Chickenfoot thing. It was a comment on your lack of understanding of what Eddie brought to the world of guitar playing. “tap-ons & dive bombs” are amongst the more superficial of the may things he showed the world. As I said, I’m always amazed when a guitarist doesn’t understand.
