I think the mashups are cool. A fan site like VHND is the perfect place to find all of the arcane, obscure and trivial bits of news. Keep posting these kinds of things!

I though those were Lady Ga Ga’s assless chaps?

Greg this isn’t news, I understand the AWESOME arcane, obscure and trivial stuff…but this is pure unadulterated horseshit.

Lady He She has no fucking talent!!!!

Garbage! Period or exclamation mark I don’t give a fuck. The only good mashup I’ve seen is Rick Astley doing Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana. Fuckin’ Brilliant!
OzzyVanHalen

Lady Gaga doesn’t deserve to be in the same video as the mighty Van Halen!!!
I’m Not even going to attempt to watch this video because Lady Gaga is pop garbage. She shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence as Van Halen.

Yeah…that was pretty horrible

UM…no. Next?

Fucking nonsense. Talentless bitch with a bunch of half assed dancers behind her. Gee, did she dream that up all by herself? Thank the rock gods that VH is back in the studio recording the follow up to 1984. What will they call this one??? 1985? 1995? 2005? I’ve never waited for something so long in my life!

It started out with promise but then it kind of just went with one song back and forth over the other. Lady Ga-Ga is just a Madonna tribute. I like some of her songs but it’s all been done before.

Eh, I though it was kinda neat. I wouldn’t know a Lady Ga-Ga song if it hit me in the balls, but it’s a fun mashup though.

It’s not Lady Ga-Ga’s fault the average music listeners are tone-deaf, non-creative sheep. She’s just cashing in on a terrible “music” paradigm in our society. Just like in the 60′s, the Beatles, Stones and Who shattered the crappy surf music and bubblegum pop age, in the 70′s, Van Halen brought guitars back onto the music charts… the 80′s G’n'R kicked synth-pop in the nuts and Nirvana reshaped the 90′s into a guitar era. It’s time for our favorite band to make a comeback and give Lady Ga-Ga a pearl necklace.
No Mas Tony

Wow! That was a little less painful to listen to than I was expecting. (That’s a compliment I think). Lady Gaga is a hottie, she’s definitely “good enough”. Is she even wearing anything in this video!? I’ll pretend she isn’t. Yummy.

I just wonder what King Ed would think of this jibberish… remember 2-live-crew getting sued back in the 80′s for borrowing “house of pains” riff? LOL

Pretty good as far as maships go! Thank you VHND for keeping this site fresh with activity. Looking forward to later this year with everything looming with Van Halen!
Joe

Wow, nothing polarizes the news desk posters like the mash ups.

It’s someone’s amusing attempt at entertainment. Love it or hate it, it takes a lot of work to combine the songs and videos.

Lighten-up for 4 minutes and then get on with your life.
Let’s Rock

Here we go again…

iPod..Music…Artist…Van Halen…VHI…Song 4…..Much better!!

Stop the madness

ok, now its easy for us to be “this is bullshit” but mashups are just hit or miss naturally. I have worked for a concert venue in detroit for 5 years and as god as my witness i should absolutly hate her but i saw her show last year and this lady has talent that im not used to seeing these days. it wasnt a concert, it was a broadway style performance. as a matter of fact id say it was, in my humbly expert opinion, just as awe inspiring and awesome as when i saw VH in 2007 and i got to sit thru there sound check. granted they are different sections of music but the pure talent and showmanship speaks for itself.
dft

and lets not forget how loudly gene simmons of KISS sings her praises and says what an amazing talent she has. Which is saying something considering he only does that for truly talented people, like eddie.

its not a bad thing to try and shake things up with the same old vh songs that have been played to death on shit classic rock radio stations!!! i wouldnt ever buy it or go see it in a live setting but at least its something different and really cant hurt vh in anyway plus why give a shit? its all for fun which is what rock n roll is supposed to be about
Phil

LOL, There’s some funny comments on this. I’m really not sure what I think of the clip.
will cutshaw

As a life-long Van Halen fan and an all-around music lover from everything between Hank Williams , Elvis , Crue , and Tupac , what you have done with this is amazing ! Thank you , and please keep it up ! Also , notify me of your future musical endeavors , as you have made a fan of me . As for any persons writing you negatively , this is America , they have that right . As a former soldier who fought proudly for that , screw them ! Again , GREAT WORK , THANK YOU !!!!
josh

Man, this seems so irrelevant and has no importance after hearing al this new album spoilers! Lol I don’t think VHND needs to bother putting up mash-ups anymore, everyone is already stoked about the new album! Usually these type of things get posted when we have no “good” news in a while…but I can tell you that we have had “good” news in the past few weeks
Steve O

That sucks.
RobCT

Ok, it was interesting…but let’s not make a big deal or she may end up opening for them on the next tour! So, sshhhhhhhh……
Shyboy

Everytime I see those assless chaps that Dave wears, I laugh uncontrollably!!!! I have got to get some of those!!!
Jake

I thought this was done rather well, especially since they matched up rhythmically. The beginning with Gaga’s synths and ATBL’s guitar intro was pretty good.
RR

Brilliant mash. And for those that don’t like Gaga…love her or hate her – you better get used to her. She’s got talent and is going to be around for a long, long time. She ain’t no Kei$ha…she’s your kids’ generation’s new Madonna.
Jeff Q

I get the fact thtat Lady GA GA may have some talent but this is plain old stupid and a waste of time. Who ever does these things must still live in thier parents basement and have nothing better to do. I made it about 26 seconds. Totally fucking lame!!!!

Pls team VHND keep it REAL.this is makin me GAG!

The only thing losing credibility here is VHND!!!

That lady gaga is HOT!

I have heard VH sampled before (didn’t like it), but this took the cake. I am not a big fan of Lady Gaga, she has a few ok songs, but this was CRAP. It would be one thing to use Eddie guitar part, which is a classic as a background, but to play the whole song as it is with her too…it was like a musical trainwreck. It was embarrassing. I don’t know what would make her do this….maybe she ate some of her own raw meat dress and got Mad Gaga disease….

Sparks on the Horizon!!!

I stumbled across a clip of Paul Gilbert doing a live mash up of To Be With You and Aint Talkin’ ‘Bout Love. Now that is something that might go over a little better in here. Paul is f’n nuts. In a good way ofcoarse.
Ron

Who came up with this shit?
Sick4Tunz

I LOVE IT!! This is the closest we will get to having new VH music in our lifetimes! Keep pushing out the mash-ups!
