    Ok I'm not comparing them musically at all, I'm talking about the way The Scorpions actually LISTEN to their fans, and say what's up. Take a look at their website http://www.the-scorpions.com/english/ They are even going to make musical changes based on fans' reactions on their message boards! Bit of a change from what we're used to, huh?

    Van Halen could learn from a lot of bands.
    "One of the reasons I left Sabbath was because Van Halen was blowing us off the stage every night. It was embarrassing." -Ozzy Osbourne

    "When I first heard "Runnin' With The Devil" on the radio, I was stunned and found myself dizzy, walking through my high school hallways thinking, "What was THAT?!"
    Eddie Van Halen was so innovative and kicked so much ass, and David Lee Roth was for a time indisputably the Greatest Man in America.
    If aliens came down and challenged us to a Battle of the Bands to decide the fate of Planet Earth, I would feel very confident putting early Van Halen forward as our champion." -Tom Morello

    "There is no heir to the throne of Eddie Van Halen. Nobody sits on that throne. Nobody takes that throne. Here's why it's different with Eddie: when a great guitar player passes, you just move on to another, right? But in this case, Eddie wasn't just a 'guitar player'. We're talking about a guy who changed culture and how we play guitar. He was like an alien coming in and fucking everything up so much that even the legends beforehand are like, 'Okay .. what is happening here? What sorcery is this?'" -Nuno Bettencourt

    Van Halen could learn alot if they just looked into the mirror.

    But they are all to damn stubborn.

    No music in 2002 along with no information released to their fans, then I say fuck them. To go 3 years and not let your fans know your intentions is nothing but a slap in the face to them. They/we don't deserve to be treated like that for all the changes they went through over the years and we were all still there for them. (for the most part that is)

    Do they owe us any new music? NO

    But they shouldn't forget about us either.

    Are they looking for a new singer in ernest?

    or are they looking for a singer just as hard as O.J. is looking for the real killer?

    I simple message from them would be very nice and appreciated greatly by their fans.

    Everybody from Hanson and Britney to The Scorpiions and Metallica keep their fans updated as to what they are doing or planning to do.
    Thats not alot to ask.

    Why bother having a web-site and pay Brad when they have nothing to add to it?
    'Old Van Halen, when I was in it-classic Van Halen-makes you wanna drink, dance and screw, right? And the new Van Halen encourages you to drink milk, drive a Nissan and have a relationship.' - David Lee Roth.

    In this case, Eddie and Alex ARE the real killers. Not Nicole, the band.

    Why bother having a web-site and pay Brad when they have nothing to add to it?

    That was always the case with the Pasture Dump anyway.

    Welcome back, Van HALEN!!!!

    ...It's the BAND and Dave is really the cat that can front VH. He sang his ASS off and was really cool. No cheese here guys, this is filet Mignon! - Steve Lukather's comment after witnessing a Van HALEN 2007 rehearsal
