Van Halen song on Family Guy

I saw it! I was so excited when the song came on, I told everyone around me that it was Van Halen.

I love it!!!! That show’s funny!!…and of course that song kicks ass…

I smiled while watching that episode as well. That show is hilarious. I hope they play that song on the tour next year. They need to change things up, cut some of the same old songs out and play some songs that we haven’t heard in a long time.

Family Guy–funniest show on TV. And that’s not the first Van Halen reference they’ve had. Some of the writers must have good taste in music.

Penis in a wheelchair … lol. Great song, but I have never seen even 1 second of that show. Well, I guess I have now.

I remember hearing a bit of “Unchained” on American Dad. I wish we could have some REAL VH news.

What next, Eddie Van Halen breakfast cereal? I’m just sick of merch peddeling when he should be doing an album.

What great news! Hey I farted and it sounded like one of the licks from everybody wants some.

Funny you said that Rickie. I was gonna say something similar. Wonder what SCAR will say! : )

This just in. A man was listening to Van Halen on his I-pod on the 1&9 in Midtown Manhattan earlier today. Witnesses said he had tears in his eyes.

Way to go SCAR !!!!

Better Off Dead!….Nice ‘Bosox’….

Let the VH machine roll, when there’s a new album to promote, they’ll promote it.
I think it’s good news to have VH on tv shows, it seems to me they are preparing something, it’s just not normal to have VH everywere.
Enjoy people, want to complain, then twitt Eddie directly as simple as that!

Ludwig, i think it’s great VH is having a huge resurgence. i attended my first VH show in 1980 and have been supportive of all the VH eras. we all know classic VH can’t be touched. but sammy era and yes, even gary era VH fans are real fans too. you spewing all the crap that you claim sammy fans spew makes you know better then those you talk about. appreciate the VH machine while they are still capable of performing and making music. no matter what the lineup is. let it go ludwig, VH is happy with dave and wolfie and sam and mike are having a great time with chickenfoot. enough of this dave vs. sam thing. it’s getting old…

If there isn’t a peep to be heard about VH, people bitch. When there’s something VH related in the public eye, people bitch. Can’t win.
Screw it…It is what it is. If we’re lucky enough to get a new album, cool. And if we aren’t, it’s cool to at least see them showing up in the public eye to some degree.

Personally, I’d rather hear about a Van Halen tune showing up on tv than hearing Eddie is loaded and on the way to rehab again, there’s problems between him and Dave or whatever.

Goes to show you the ones doing these episodes and movies are more into classic VH that’s hardcore vs that mushy Love walks in crap!!

And in related news, earlier today a radio station in Wyoming played Hot for Teacher. Also, unconfirmed report have reached us that, apparently, record stores stock Van Halen CDs…

Edward Van Halen declined to comment on either report.

Brilliant!

They also used ‘Unchanined’ in an episode of American Dad, the 1st one i think. XD

Okay SCAR, whatever man. I love Eddie Van Halen. I don’t come onto this site to bash him, I come on here because like the rest of us I have (what some would call) an unhealthy fixation on this awesome man. I love all of Van Halen’s music. I remember the first time I got Van Halen II, I lived in that album for months. And then I downloaded a bootleg of a Fresno show on their “II” tour in 79 and it was amazing what they did with those songs live.

I love Hagar material too, I even quite like VH3 for the guitar work, not so crazy on Gary. But it was stellar.

The only thing I’m saying is, I wouldn’t mind all the comments made in interviews etc to come to pass. However, saying that, they seem to have gone from strength to strength since being back with Roth. Another tour sounds great, even though they probably won’t come to England so I won’t get to see them. So really the only thing I have to look forward to is a new album, I just hope they deliver on it. I’m not going to go into who I think should be where with who when, I’m just enjoying the current situation as much as I can. You don’t even know how jealous I am of those of you guys who got to see them once, twice, three times or more on their last tour. Because they have a heavy/complicated stage set they don’t like coming to Europe (or so I heard). Flights to America are ludicrously expensive and as a Uni student I really don’t have the money!

(and yes, I realise Eddie didn’t make that clip. Jeez. I love Family Guy, glad they’re bringing out a new season. That episode was hilarious).

“Drop Dead Legs” is truly a great song man. It just screams classic VH! I wonder if it was recorded live in the studio like many songs from the first album. It just sounds live to me. Everytime I hear it I picture eddie dave mike and alex in the studio drinkin’ beers and just jammin! Cool stuff….

I think it’s great that classic VH is finally getting some “air play” so to speak! LOL! I mean jeez, around here you always hear the same damn songs on the radio. “Jump” “Running with the devil” “Unchained” “Hot for teacher” “I’ll wait” ect. Dont get me wrong….great songs…I just wish they would play all the other shit too!
I dont think i’ve ever heard “Drop Dead Legs” on the radio once. Ridiculous. I never understood radio stations and their policy’s.

Whatever right?

O.K. jerk off, you asked for it Rich, YOU are just another HATER whining and complaining about EVH!!! You whined “I’m just sick of merch pedaling when he should be doing an album”. I’m a little confused here Rich, who are you to tell EVH what he should be doing???? Hasn’t he done enough for Rock N Roll???? EVH has done a lot more for Rock N Roll than you have right??? You’re damn right I jump to EVH’s defense, I may slam all you hater’s but I don’t come here to complain about one of the greatest Rock N Roll icons of all time, but YOU DID, just like the rest of the haters do!!!! Face it Gomer, you just thought you were cool making that lame idiotic complaint! If yo had the chance to complain to EVH in person would you??? No, all you would do is stand there in your urine soaked drawers drueling like a pole smoker!!! Gee, I figured for once I was talking like a civil human being, considering I’m usually a belligerent jerk!!!!! Well dough boy, face it, nothing you can say will change the fact that you’re just another pathetic hater!!!! So, deal with that you greasy inbred knucklehead!!!!

Wow, you really do come here just to argue don’t you? All you can do is whine at other people who don’t think that every little bit of news on here about EVH is amazing and worthy of the front page in every newspaper in the world. I don’t hate Eddie Van Halen. Did you even read my post?! I AM NOT A HATER. In fact, I’m a lover. Everything that Eddie has done musically, i’ve enjoyed. Roth, Hagar, Cherone. Les Paul tributes, instrumentals on TV, hell even 2 and a half men was worth watching for the riffage. Please don’t suggest that I dislike Eddie, otherwise what would be the point in me being here? You didn’t figure anything, you just spewed out a load of crap and half-assed insults.

Who is anyone to tell anyone else what they should be doing? Who are you to tell me I can’t express my opinion? Who are the media to portray any celebrity in any sort of light?

Yes, I said I’m sick of merch peddling. But theres not a time where I think that his stuff looks cheap or shit or nasty. Being a guitar player, I can honestly say i’ve dreamed of owning Kramer Strikers, Musicman Axis’, and Peavey Wolfgangs, as well as the Charvels and the new (Fender) Wolfgang. His amps look amazing.

But you have to understand, when we hear lots of interviews saying “i’ve got x amount of material”, we can only guess as to when it will be released. Don’t you get it? A new fully formed band, touring again, the world is their oyster. I’m not the only VH fan on this planet wondering about a new album, mainly because Ed and VH are in the public eye a lot more now!

I didn’t think I was cool making a complaint, I thought I was expressing my opinion like a human being. Is that not what this forum/comment section is for?

Do you have some sort of love for exclamation marks? One is enough.

“Nothing will change the fact that you’re just another pathetic hater!!!!” – say that to my Van Halen albums, dvds, bootleg concerts, posters and t-shirts. And my musical influence and preference.

Zombieland,Spike,2&1/2men,&now Family Guy all within the last month or so.That`s more”publicity” than chickenfeed`s
done all summer.Not enough?how`bout a videogame too?How about
“leaked’comments of a tour?Still not enough?how`bout EDDIE
telling paparazzi&Everyone else he`s recording with DAVE.
“we fans have waited 10 yrs for an album”-go fuck yourselves.
Try waiting 25yrs
Sammy=VHGR
DIAMOND DAVID LEE ROTH==VAN FUCKIN`HALEN=

I agree with heather and russ….

For many many years classic VH was ignored. Sure you could still hear a song or two on the radio but that was about it.
No classic VH t-shirts…posters…nothing! It was as if classic VH never exsisted. Not only was this annoying and frustrating it also made me wonder how the world percieved rock and roll. I mean how the fuck could you possibly forget the roots of this band? It was a question I pondered for many years. Well, here we are X-amount of years later and it seems like classic VH is EVERYWHERE. The radio is constantly playing the old roth classics and even some of his solo stuff. I barely hear anything sammy related anymore. Not that im complaining. Believe me….I’m not! Now it seems that TV is jumpin’ on the bandwagon….and thats fine by me.
It’s about damn time the orginal era gets the respect and praise it deserves….period! I feel that heather and russ are correct when they say that something must be in the works. The buzz is becoming bigger and I really do think this is a strategic plan here folks. Have faith in the mighty VH!

Its weird, but with this new reunion I finally understand what Roth fans were complaining about. As soon as Sammy came into the band, its as if the previous 6 albums (save about 5 songs) hadn’t really existed. And now the same thing is happening with Roth, and its not necessarily a bad thing. I’d love for there to be room for all VH material but with two dynamic singers and one rebound, there isn’t room for it. I’m fine with EVH doing stuff, its just merch peddling that doesn’t really grow on me like it does other people I spose. Note: I’m not suggesting Ed is a sellout or trying to get more $ with stuff. People want to emulate him and they can through his gear, but it would just be cool to hear a snippet of even jams of old stuff he’s doing with Wolf & Alex (as we hear about). Twitter, myspace etc is cool but it needs to lead to something!

SCAR: Complaining like a pinhead? What would you like, an essay on the history of Van Halen and how they should or shouldn’t have an album out by now? These things don’t make a difference but neither do your morose, sarcastic comments.

Still don’t really get your insults – “putz”? Guess its cos I’m from the UK.

I also love how somebody says for you to shut the fuck up and you call them “feeble minded”. We are tired of your comments but you’re not going to let up and neither is anyone else.

I love all the turmoil! I dont think Scar is serious, I think he is just joking around and getting all your panties in a bunch. Now if any of you want to go you If you want to throw down fisticuffs, fine. I’ve got Jack Johnson and Tom O’Leary waiting for ya, right here.
Or better yet why dont all of you go back to Whore Island!
