They should at least do it for a month.

They’ll continue it. They did it for rush. They’ll do it for VH.

Hopefully with the material that they put out after Ed’s untimely passing.

There's a hell of a lot more than they're playing, I can tell you that. I'm in my truck a lot during the day...I've heard the exact same sequence of songs twice in a day more than a few times.

I guess they want to play the guest DJ tribute shows a good bit right now, but they play the same stuff over and over. I've heard Top of the World live 2-3 times in a day, with a preceding announcement of "The Majesty of Van Halen" right before it.

They could play loads of other stuff is the channel becomes permanent. You have all the studio albums. 2 live albums, plus the audio from LWAN. Whatever live stuff from the DLR era there is. Plus soundboard stuff. Whatever unfinished/unused tracks there are...we know there are a few from 5150, and Gary. What else?

And then Wolf/Alex could release some alternate takes when they get around to it. Maybe some instrumental stuff, or Ed alternate solo takes.
Plenty of material.

On the good side, I've also heard several of the demo tracks. Let's Get Rockin and Put Out the Lights a couple of times. Good bit of ADKOT, too. Even heard Up For Breakfast a couple of times....for some reason, I don't mind it as much now. It really does have a killer groove...lyrics are not cool, but they don't bother me as much now.

The rarest stuff I heard was "Starfleet" and both LL Cool J songs. Haven't heard the demos yet.

**Pacfanweb** · 10.16.20, 10:13 AM

Yeah I have heard Starfleet several times. Heard the LL Cool J stuff twice. Actually I heard the We're the Greatest a couple of times, and then another one that I had not heard previously yesterday.

How many times have you heard the live (well, the pretend live) version of "Spanked?"

**Al Van Bundy** · 10.16.20, 10:46 AM

I had a streak of hearing When It's Love about 8 times in a row a few days ago.

Now I'm on a Respect The Wind streak.

**Raldo** · 10.16.20, 10:56 AM

Lots of good stuff they are playing on that channel.

**DFVH5150** · 10.16.20, 11:57 AM

I think the only post-Balance songs I haven't heard yet are:

Me Wise Magic
Neworld
One I Want
Year to the Day
It's About Time
Learning to See
Rise
Catherine
Tattoo
Honeybabysweetiedoll
The Trouble with Never
Stay Frosty
Beats Workin'

I’ve heard a lot of live stuff. Plus I heard get the show on the road. They also played the Kenny Chesney concert where Ed and al showed up.

But by far, the saddest thing I heard was zekke Clark.

Done!

**Railrunner130** · 10.16.20, 04:49 PM

It's really interesting hearing the tracks from III. Neworld came on the other day and it was exactly that. When taken away from the context of the album they take on a different life.

**PT 5150** · 10.16.20, 06:45 PM

Just signed.

Great channel I’m listening to it in Australia..
Heaps of cool songs.
Rare live stuff.
Kenny Chesney concert where Ed and Al showed up and did YRGM
Hearing Zekke Clarke talk of Ed was sad he was very emotional.
