Pal works in a Radio Station and he gave me his press copy

[carloattb]

Jump.
Classic.

[SD1992]

Probably not going to be very popular for this, but I always preferred Sammy Hagar to David Lee Roth as far as vocals (i.e. not showmanship) are concerned...

Will pick it up anyway, I have always liked Van Halen

[Highrisedrifter]

New Van Halen album with Dave Lee Roth. OH YES. Always preferred him to Sammy Hagar.

Going to dig my copy of their first (and best) album out now.

Thankyou OP!!

Please God let it be good

[bigd74]

although i have it on pre order i couldn't help myself when it leaked last week and i've been listening all weekend, it's brilliant as is easily the best album since 5150.

If your idea of great rock is "1984" era and prior Van Halen you will be a happy man

Hell even the Kramer Ripley "Top Jimmy" stereo guitar is back! (Blood and Fire) And EVH has really found his form again - must've really put some hours in down the fretboard gym

ETA
Blimey part of the DVD is up on Youtube already!

Check out the boys having a complete blast nailing an acoustic version of Panama http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DF0c6naJkYEE&amp...

Or rather, he's managed to stay off the booze for more than 5 mins!

Desperate to get this (under stict instruction not to buy as birthday next week) - sincerely hope it's as good as I'm anticipating. Diamond Dave back in his rightful place.

[Ali2202]

THEY'RE BAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!........and I defy you not to grin and feel a sense of your Youth again whilst listening to 'Stay Frosty'

Downloaded and had a quick blast - very pleasantly surprised

I must have bought about 8 - 10 VH albums over the years and let's be honest about half of them were sh*te This definitely isn't

[chris5150]

Stay frosty hit me straight away...rest is growing, quite liking it. Wish Ed's guitars where louder in the mix though, his guitar just cut through so well in the old stuff, now its all sort of compressed & blended in, seems to be the way with modern music I suppose.
I hope a good live album follows this tour
