Van Halen Mix 01

Amen Bocephus!

Enrique…it’s just catchy. It takes all versions of Van Halen and mashes it together to make a Van Halen explosion. Roland did an excellent job with this. I like it very much.

sweet love those beats badass =VH=

NICE MIX !!! I was suprised at all 3 eras being represented; with Cherone he had a TOUGH gig trying to follow up Roth and Hagar, give him some credit ‘cos I’m sure he honestly didn’t set out to suck. I am looking forward to the new album – hopefully they’ll finally get “Big Trouble” on an album..Roland keep mixing!!! Nice work!!!

Eat Em and Smile..

And make sure you don’t end up with A Filthy
Little Mouth!

Hah.

Only for the few who know.

Nice job, love it all, but of course it once again proves Dave was/is the best VH frontman, and by far.

To Roland

Please don’t flatter yourself!! If you think Sir George Martin, his son and the surviving Beatles used your idea? Then you’re dreaming. Give me a break!!!! I’m sure I don’t need to tell you of how time consuming it is to do what you did. It would be very naive of you if you think it’s an easy process. All you’re doing is what club DJ’s have been doing forever.

You don’t work for Van Halen, so that means you don’t have access to the master tapes of their albums. Whereas The Beatles ‘Love’ album was an official release. In fact if you watch the making of the ‘Love’ album it was first put into motion at least 2 years prior to its release. So that would make it as far back as late 2002 when work started on it!! Let’s not forget the painstaking and delicate work re-mixing, editing and mastering analogue tapes that are more than 40 years old into digital format. That had to be done so they could then work with it on Pro Tools.

However, I thought you did a great job!! Particularly the very start until the Poundcake song section went far too long, but hey that’s my opinion.

I love the fact that the same group of people continually respond to all of these silly posts. (I’m one of them) This site has turned into a place for us to just vent our frustrations and desires. I hope that they glance at this site and see that there is people that really want to see Eddie rebound and give us something worthy of all of our waiting and wishing. We deserve the best that VH has to offer.

All those askin for no VHIII tunes speak for yourselves. I loved that disc, not every song obviously but 2/3rds of it, and I thought including “Without You” and “Dirty Water Dog” was very cool.

Nice work Roland –

Rather than a remix feel it had a “cut the songs and splice them together” vibe. Great concept though. To my ear, it would benefit from a foundation rhythm part throughout, and the other samples layered on top.

Number 3, like number 2 before it starts off ok, but quickly degenerates into a Van Halen noise fest. That may sound like a good thing…if maybe Van Halen were doing it. The first track this guy did was pretty good and I’ve purposefully listened to it several times in the past. I quite like it. Like the others it starts off great, but unlike the others that one has a more coherent (word usage?) middle and end. I think with number 3 he’s going overboard with the concept. It sounds overmixed.

Very cool…good job!

I don’t care if the Martins took my idea or not… I know that I did it at least a year and -a-half before them and that I’ve used a lot more songs arrangements than them. They did it with 2 song at a time…, I do it with up to 8 songs playing at the same time. 55 songs per mix (hear my Classic Rock mixes, lots of Van Halen in them).

Dude! pretty good but leave out VH III. It gets going good then we run smack dab into a wall (Van Halen III) just mix up some kick ass VH!!

Excellent! Thank you, the beginning hooked me.

Bocephus,

Whaaa??

Bocephus-

Ed has always been more limited working with Dave because of his vocal range. He even said this in interviews. This is where the detuning came in to cater to Dave cuz he couldnt hit the notes. Ed always said that working witrh Sammy waqs easy because he was not limited to the things he could write because Sammy could sing anything. However, I am excited for a new album as everyone. If it sounds anything like the 2 songs on the best of vol 1 like Me wise Magic and Cnt Get This Stuff No More we will be in for a real treat!Those 2 songs probably had the best vocal range of any Dave VH song. Woo Hoo! Cant wait.

dude you rule!!!

Awesome, great work.

How does this even qualify as “news”? Enough of all of this garbage already. Why can’t they just give us a little teaser of a song just to pacify us? Anything. Listening to people splice little bits and pieces of songs that I’ve listened to a million times does not do it for me. I’ve become seriously frustrated and disenchanted with this band as of late. I really hope they throw us a bone soon.

love it………..from an old school van halen fan, old van halen, new van halen, it dosent make a dam bit of differance, VH still rules, hopefully we’ll get a new album soon!!

That mix kicks some ass! I like how all 3 singers are no there. Sammy,Gary, n even Dave. Good Job!!!!!!!!!! How do I get a copy of this cool mixs? It would sound cool in my car crusen n jammen it very loud.

To KTC5150…

After the 3 Van Halen mixes, there’s plenty of Van Halen goodies in my Classic Rock mixes…

omg, wow… this is so excellent! now if only vh would put all these mixes on cd, that would be great!!!

Great job! Very creative work. I’d love to hear the others that you have made. Real catchy. I like the way you blended the 3 eras and made it work real well.
