Van Halen 1984 documentary thread

**AlanCBerry** · 05.07.23, 09:06 AM

After seven months of work, my new Van Halen 5-part series is about to be released. (Over 2.5 hours) Lots of newly uncovered information and media never seen by the public. The trailer will be released later this week. Photos by Neil Zlozower

I will use this thread to keep everyone updated and post pics etc.

Thanks man! I thought it fit the subject matter pretty well.

Looking forward to this, just hoping it is what really happened and not the tried and untrue "Dave was a dick and he quit on April 1st" rendition.

Well, the Dave is a dick part is probably true....

No disrespect. My earlier comment about money etc. This looks cool. It looks like love for subject.

Modern editing has really made that picture pop.

We've all seen it before, but not like that.

They look like Zeppelin etc.

They LOOK like the Gods they're supposed to be.

Ed is wearing the VH necklace.

I've seen some video of this shoot. It was funny cause Alex kept using the suitcases as dominos and just could not stop. Not sure where that footage is maybe Greg has it

Yeah but he is good with german shepherds so I give him a pass

Very cool, will there be any unseen concert footage?

**Jedi McFly** · 05.07.23, 11:24 AM

Sounds super cool - looking forward to it!

Side note: What are those bowling shoes Ed's wearing?

**Dave's Dreidel** · 05.07.23, 11:30 AM

I guess only Mike and Al got the memo of "the shoes make the man".

My doc has been heavily vetted by VH insiders and authors. Maybe something slipped through the cracks, but I feel pretty confident I got most of it right, or as close as you can come to it. On the areas that are gray, I tell both sides and let the viewer decide. Once it's released if you think I got something wrong I truly want to know about it.
