I see a press machine working here. Few days ago I also watched a VH Special on VH1… I think everybody has to remember what was Van Halen before returning…

Everybody Want’s Some….New Van Halen!!

Long live the mighty Van Halen!

Here’s what the DUCK thinks….

Anytime a film uses a “classic VH” song it’s a plus.
More exposure for the band. (Ex: hey man…who sings that cool song that’s in that movie? You mean Van Halen?)Personally I would like some new music like any die hard fan but I’m a humble dude. I take what i’m given…and usually dont ask for more.
Unless of course we’re talkin cute girls…then I always want seconds!

People have the nerve to complain about too much Chickenfoot news.

Ok, they were great, but maybe VHND should take a break until Ed gets back from honeymoon! (just kidding).

Are we gonna get reports on Ed’s honeymoon next? LOL! J/K I love the site. Any related news is great!

Good news to me. If you like Chickenfoot good for you, I got the album but its ok at best. I don’t think anybody really believes its that great of an album. Kind of like Van Halen 3, I kept telling myself it was a good album cause I love Van Halen that much but bottom line it sucked. Ready for the new Van Halen album!

I, for one, think this is great. Thanks for posting. Referencing VH like this is just going to help continue the band’s legacy. I agree with Duck.
I love the VH references.

Yup…the younger generation will pick up on the legacy of Van Halen… they just don’t know it yet…!!

i would LOVE to see a comprehensive compilation of VH referances from tv/FILM — it would be amazing. they were mentioned on ” the drew carey show ” several times and had sweet referance in ” better off dead ” .

Hey Jor-L5150

You can go purchase the Van Halen Encyclopedia. It has all information about every song, what movies, etc. Tons of crazy stuff.

GOD I LOVE THIS BAND!!!!=VH= has “permiated” itself into”POP”
culture on the same level as the”WHO”,STONES,ZEP,BEATLES&MichaelJackson(recentheadline)for that matter.Just another sign of a legendary band.
It`s the “MUSIC THAT WOULD`T DIE!!”(Weird Science,Betteroffdead,”TheWildLife”etc.)ED&theBOYS have given us ALOT over the years,this is only the begining.As ED says,”This is only the tip of the icecube.You haven`t even SEEN the Iceberg!!”The glass is 1/2FULL folks,sit tight,It`s

You know things are slow when your fans get excited about mentions in movie trailers.

Van Halen is mentioned in tons of Adam Sandler movies… especially the older ones. That’s always fun! Hope Eddie is having a great time with Janie on their honeymoon!

I think it’s great that classic VH gets exposure to this generation. I always wanted see to them do a killer James Bond Movie Title Song.
