Ummm...not for nothing, but exactly what is "Safe European Home" from The Clash's second album ( Give "Em Enough Rope) doing on there? It's an inspired choice to be certain, but... Huh?

True, but I'd still hit it.

I think Wolf must have had a lot of say in the non-VH choices. Who knows!?

maybe but I also think the game company had a lot to say about it as well...I'm sure there were a lot of negotiations with the recordpublishing/management companies involved where they offered spots to certain people while others asked for spots etc.

It feels weird to Have Ed, Al and Dave in 1978 wardrobe and Wolfie in Ed's 1984 get up...but anyhow it looks cool.
I'm first in line to buy this one.

The whole thing with Wolf and Mike has been beat to death and I hope we're not treated to another debate in this thread.
That said, I think this game looks cool and I'm definitely picking it up.

Might have been beaten to death, but, there is something new in this video.
Instead of the real Wolfie, who by all accounts appeared onstage like a overweight, shy and confused teenager, we get a digital Wolf who apparently lost like 60 pounds overnight, and moves around like a confirmed pro. Even digitally the real Wolf couldnt cut it and they had to invent a fake digital character to make it work. Should definitely prove the guy has no place in VH.
It was exciting to see 3/4th of the classic Van Halen line-up, but there's definitely the odd man out, a bit like if super mario was holding the bass or zelda. It's not really Van Halen, it's kinda Van Halen. But I'll quote Dave on this one: a little ain't enough.

Something else has undergone change, as well. The first image below comes from a screen capture of the video that was played at that gaming convention a few months ago. The second comes from the video in it's current form. You'll notice that the "cartoon" Wolfgang Van Halen appears to have dropped a few pounds, and apparently has been working out sometime in between.

you've got to be kidding.
If you don't want to wait for this thread to play out...just skip over to this one:

It will be the same.

Random thought...
Is it just me, or would anyone else here find it a bit freaky to see themselves digitally animated like this? Just a thought...
