I cant go into any deep details about why this and why that,but its definetly focused on trying to get monetary gain out of putting it out there for all to see.This is a CVH site,and to me,1978-1984 Van Halen is all there is,period.At this stage in the game,all that matters is footage of that era.Yeah,the new album and new music is cool and all that shit,but lets face it,1978-1984 VH is the most captivating phase of their career.All the unseen video footage and music they have to share but yet refuse is beyond me guys.I give VHND tons of credit to keep pushing the envelope just like me to get this shit out there.Jeff is a die hard as you can tell and is trying his ass off to get it out there.Back in the day,about 20 years ago,Eruption video was our only hope for unearthed gems to surface.I don't need to mention names of that brief video supplier,but they know who they are,and what United State they were working out of instead the state they moved to now.All I can say at this point is that this stuff is out there and sooooo close to being released,whether it be an official band release or fan bootleg.I thank God for giving me the opportunity to see that 8mm backyard footage,that just like all of you,didnt think existed,but believe me it does!!! That 1980 Invasion pro shot that I told all of you about is close on being put out there.That show is FUCKING killer!!!!! Just like Fresno 79,you know that whole show exists.What do you think,after they filmed Youre No Good,DTNA,and Bottoms Up!,they turned the camera off? Fuck no!!!!! That film kept rolling.Then you have the photo shoot for WACF in black and white.Theres a still shot of one of the photos during that shoot where you see a guy about 5 feet away from the band with a camera and a video tape inside that camera rolling.Where the fuck is that tape?? You know its out there.Give Jeff a high 5 for his continued quest over at VHND for the REAL VH footage to get out there.As he is doing his best,I am also over here on the east coast doing mine.Its gonna be out there for us.Hang in there
