Michael Anthony was rumored to rejoin Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, and David Lee Roth for a Van Halen reunion tour this year, but sadly it fell through, but he has toured with Sammy Hagar and the Circle. A fan on Instagram demanded that Anthony ask his ex-Van Halen bandmate for more money so he can get a Ferrari. A Van Halen icon made a disgusting Howard Stern joke yesterday.
jimbrigance commented on his social media, “I think you need a bigger garage! Maybe a pay raise from The Circle would help or Sammy can give you a Ferrari!”
Anthony responded, “@jimbrigance Hahahaha.”
A Van Halen fan named masong is remixing the band’s albums on the VHLinks.com forums.
He wrote, “I would first like to say thank you for all the positive feedback on my re-do of the Van Halen III album. There were a few requests I received to do something similar with A Different Kind Of Truth. I was busy the past few days putting this together for y’all. I expanded the tracks to lower the amount of compression, then lowered the level of the bass in the mix (contrary to VHIII where the bass is inaudible, the bass here overpowers the rest of the mix). In addition, I toyed with various features to try and give the album more of a ‘live’ feel akin to earlier albums. Once again, it’s a quick few edits I did on Audacity, and it’s as much as I could do without the multitracks.”
A Van Halen icon recently took a vicious shot at Bon Jovi. masong later wrote after requests, “I’m an audiophile so I actually dug into the coding and found them to be literally identical. The 2005 Forever Young 5150 and OU812s are both simply the same as the original Japanese releases, only louder. The increase in sound quality is from the fact that the American/European pressings of the original CD’s were half assed, partially accounting for the lack of bass presence and quality. The Japanese versions were done correctly. The true sound difference is between the original US and Japanese pressings.
Different? Yes. Louder? Yes. Remaster? No.
However interestingly enough, both the F.U.C.K. and Balance remasters are truly remastered. F.U.C.K. is loudened and the drum tone was altered slightly to sound more clear, in addition to a bass boost. The Balance CD is actually less compressed compared to the original, and the instruments are more defined.
I’ll toy around with both 5150 and OU812 on my flight and see what I can do. If I were you I would not go for the Japanese OU812 CD. Wait until I post and see if you like that.” A Van Halen member showed off his muscles in a shirtless photo last week.
