Chords for Van Halen 5150 studio Interview Part One

_ Oh!
_ _ I like that one!
I like that one!
Well, _ _ _ alright, I'm Sammy.
Ed.
Mikey.
Alex.
[A] And you're about to see a video that we made, or just us goofing around.
They had some cameras at 5150 and we performed a couple songs in the studio and just jived
[Bb] around and had conversation the way we are, basically.
And I hope you like it.
It's kind of fun.
Give you some insight.
We'll see you soon.
It's on when it is an echo.
When it goes one un.
Or two ooh.
_ The new lyrics?
Those new lyrics?
No, and three e.
When is three, when is a three an e?
It's when it's three e.
Four or.
When is a four, is it a three or a four or?
It's four or.
I have a philosophy.
It's safety of the past.
You know why?
Oh, wait.
_ You know why?
Why?
You're going to write a song about it?
[Bbm] Huh?
Why not?
Safety in the past?
Yeah.
It's just safety in the [Bb] past because it can't be changed.
It's comfort, you know?
Oh, because it can't be changed.
That's good.
Because it cannot be changed.
See, on the spot, we just made something [Bbm] new.
How about that?
What do you think?
[Bb] Where's Ed?
Can you write some music?
Man, this is a wicked orange, I mean.
Oh, man, look at it.
Look at it.
Give me goosebumps.
Look at my arm.
Beautiful.
Beautiful.
_ We've been here before and we walk a little faster usually, but.
_ _ Let's go and see the boys.
Let's go and see what they're doing.
_ _ Hey, we're locked out.
Hey, you idiots.
It is.
Them assholes.
What do you want?
We got some already.
Hey, guys.
Not the shit we got.
_ Come on in.
[E] You coming?
What's up, workmate?
I thought we were doing this on our own.
Listen, man, Al and I were out in the orange in your yard.
Hey, Al.
Hey, chase this orange.
How's it going?
Wait, wait, wait.
[N] Oh, break my glasses.
Not bad.
Ed, you want pieces? So, anyway. Hey, man.
Just came off your tree.
You want a cigarette?
Came off your tree.
Ed, you cleaned the place up?
No, I don't smoke those.
Well, yeah, we kind of redid it after the last record.
_ Looks nice.
Now on, after every record, we're going to redo the place.
What do you think?
I think by the time that we finish the last record here, this place looks like a sty.
You know, not the kind in your eye, but like a pig sty.
[Bb] It looks new to me, doesn't it?
It looks like work.
You know what, Al?
That's because you've changed.
The place hasn't changed.
Al just Al cleaned up.
It looks new to you because you've changed.
It's like you've raised your consciousness or something.
So, therefore, everything you see looks brand new.
The same old tree.
That's the whole secret to creativity.
Well, I think that last tour was pretty creative, too.
What do you think? _
Oh, you mean last summer?
Oh, you mean today?
Oh, you mean this one coming up?
No, last summer.
When do we start, anyway?
We go to Europe first, right?
We didn't used to have this much trouble communicating, did we? No.
_ [G] But, see, you try acting naturally in front of a camera.
_ _ [A] _ _
_ [D] You know, this place is home for us.
It's, uh, you know, everybody has a certain place they go to for, whatever,
spiritual enlightenment or just a moment of quiet.
And the studio is it for us.
This is the place.
And like I said, usually it's not this clean.
But, uh, it's nice.
What do you think?
The wide angle lens makes it look bigger, too.
It is. Okay.
_ But, um, weren't we supposed to mention [N] something about, uh, maybe,
like, our last tour?
Well, the tour coming up.
But I have a question for you guys, now that we're all together, you know?
Uh, so what songs are we gonna do?
Are we just gonna do the live album, like, from top to bottom?
Or are we gonna do live video top to bottom?
Or should we just, you know, put together a new [Bb] set?
Personally, I don't think we should open with Town Cake,
because we already did that.
Well, look, we got ten albums of stuff to play.
[N] And, uh, just make the best of it.
What do you think?
Yeah, kind of like our greatest hits, but it's not, you know?
Kind of like a 15-year anniversary, but it's not.
It's not.
It's not a live album, but it's_ It's not. It is.
But it is.
_ _ I guess that's kind of like the way you put the record together.
_ Yeah.
Yeah.
Hey, wait, wait, wait.
Hey, hey, hey.
I hear something.
Thank God, I'm Paul.
I hear something.
Please.
Do we have a caller on the line?
We do, indeed.
All right.
How are you guys?
Fine.
Oh, who is it?
Okay, this is Steve from International.
Oh, hi, Steve.
How you doing?
All right, Steve.
Are you in the truck?
_ What are you doing in that box?
What's happening right now, Steve?
So, listen, you [E] guys are coming to Europe.
_ _ March 30th is our first show in Munich.
_ Right.
It's in Germany. _ _
_ Is there any particular place you're wondering where we're coming to?
When?
So, tell me, you go to Europe, and you're starting off in Germany.
Where are you going after that?
All over.
Up and down and sideways.
You know, we're hoping to catch the beginning of the good weather.
No, I don't know where we go next, but we're going to go to Germany.
We're going to go to Italy, you know, France, Belgium, Holland, England, Switzerland, Norway,
Sweden, Finland.
And from [Cm] what we just heard, the Rotterdam show sold out in like one day.
One hour.
One hour.
Yeah, great.
Great.
Well, we're really looking forward to seeing you.
And we're looking forward to coming over.
Okay.
See you.
Take it easy.
[N] Okay.
That was a quick one.
