Roth And Roll
There have also been many comments about Dave's rap during Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love. During the "I've been to the edge" section, Dave has taken shots at Sammy Hagar, Gary Cherone and Edward Van Halen. Can you imagine living life as a Van Halen/Sammy Hagar/David Lee Roth fan, without controversy? Naaa, it would be too boring!
Van Halen Radio! July 7, 1999 - Have you ever had the following thoughts:
If you've had these thoughts, you're not alone. We've been doing some testing over the past few months, and have decided to make our all Van Halen radio station public. At last, there is a radio station, available worldwide via the Internet, that only plays Van Halen, David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar! VHND Radio is now broadcasting live over the Internet! To tune in to the broadcast, click on the link below: 
Link: VHND Radio
If the link doesn't work, run
WinAmp, press CTRL-L
and type: VHND Radio will bring you all the songs you love, plus a few surprises. We have a huge playlist, including all the Van Halen albums, plus rare live tracks and demos. The station will run 24/7 until Sunday afternoon (Jul 11, 1999). After that it will operate between 11PM - 3PM PST from Sunday to Thursday, then 24 hours during Friday and Saturday. Unfortunately I can't run the station 24/7 just yet, but this may be a possibility in the future, depending on how successful it is. Apologies also for the weird hours - the VHND is run from Australia so the time difference causes problems with things like this. Feedback is welcome!
Hard Rock Live 
July 26, 1999 - Sammy Hagar and the Waboritas will be appearing on VH1's Hard Rock Live on September 25. The show was recorded on July 10 in New York at the Sony Music Studios, in front of a small crowd of dedicated Red Rocker fans. Songs performed included Shag, Rock Candy, One Way To Rock, On The Other Hand (acoustic), Little White Lie, Mas Tequila and Right Now. Hard Rock Live airs on VH1 in North America on Saturday nights at midnight. It is repeated the following Monday and Wednesday at 7PM and Thursday at midnight. Viewers in Australia, New Zealand and Asia can see Hard Rock Live on TNT every Saturday night after WCW Nitro.
Van Halen Tribute Album July 30, 1999 - Another Van Halen tribute album is in the works. The album follows in the footsteps of Everybody Wants Some from Boston-based independent label Cherrydisc Records (released in October 1997), and the yet to be released "Nine Inch Halen" album that has been plugged on the official Van Halen web site since late last year. At present the confirmed artists/tracks for "Running With The Devil - A Tribute To Van Halen" are as follows:
The album is being put together by Conquest Music Group. They are currently seeking four more bands to contribute to the release. Any and all interested bands are invited to submit press kits by September 15th, 1999 to:
