New Van Halen music being released

Eddie Van Halen, that is. :D

 

He's contributing 2 new tracks (Rise and Catherine) to a movie and the soundtrack is coming out soon.

 

See the Van Halen News Desk - EVH Music for the links and YouTube video.

 

The playing is pretty cool...basically noodling around, but still interesting.

Yeah, he's written the porn music, sat in with Kenny Chesney and played a gig for a flower shop. Meanwhile Sammy is touring with Michael Anthony. What's up with that guy? Back on the wagon, apparently.

 

He played the flower shop gig with Patrick Leonard, hopefully Pat is kicking his ass into recording some new music. Apparently Patrick produced some tracks years ago with the band that were never released, I would love to hear those. (PL produced Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, Toy Matinee, Madonna, etc.)

 

Come back, Eddie.

Regardless of the music's purpose, the sad reality is that it's sh***y. Even his tone is lousy. Sounds like he's jamming with a POD and a drum machine.

 

He can do a lot better.

I am no fan of porn movies but you gotta give them credit for this one. There are about six million porn s released every year so to make yours stand out what are you going to do? nobody will remember the neame of the movie but it will be "that one that Van-halen played the music on". This is a good business move for whoever produced the movie and I think it was probably fun for Eddie to just jam some without the whole 'van-halen' thing hanging around his neck.

Huh? His tone is cool....don't know what clip you're listening to. :confused:

 

This is a far superior tone than the over-chorused and heavily processed mess he had on 5150.

Is that "muh-lah'-chee" or "mal'-uh-kai" crunch, and where in the world did you come up with that? It's one of the coolest sayings I have run across in a while.

Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else.

EVH aside, I wonder how many players here would turn down an offer to score or at least play guitar on the soundtrack to porn flick. Let's say Michael Ninn made you an offer of $10,000 up front and a small percentage of the gross. Any takers???

 

IMO, I don't think EVH has "jumped the shark" just yet... he's only in his early 50s... give him a little time to get his act together.

Why not? It sounds like a decent business opportunity to me. It's not like I'd be playing some soundtrack for some terrorist propaganda flick.

Uh. . . listen to "Fair Warning" and get back to me.

 

I agree re: Eddie's "5150" tone. That sucked too.

Sacred Sin, which Ninn said is aimed at the "couples market,"...

That's even better:

 

"Honey, this porno has Eddie Van Halen, who you know is my fave - - PLUS this video is for couples - Isn't that great !!"

The "couples" porn is very mild and very romantic. It's not like the XXX, Stag film porn, you may be used to seeing. Personally, I don't understand it. If you want to watch a movie, watch a movie. If you want to watch porn, watch porn. What's the point of having something in between that is neither?

Eh... I'll admit that I have a few titles that fit this category (mostly burned onto CD-roms). :D

 

Just a matter of personal taste. It's a nice escape from the typical Hollywood movie. :)

 

Oh well, if I wanted more 'porn', I'd watch the animal shows on the National Geographic channel on cable.

I thought it was pretty funny to. I was thinking Malachi from Children of the Corn! :D
