VAN HALEN STORY DOCUMENTRY DUE ON DVD:
The Van Halen Story: The Early Years is a DVD set to be released by Passport Video November 25. While no details of the feature are available as yet, the DVD is listed as a documentary. A little further digging turned up some information about the company behind this release. "Based in North Hollywood, California, Passport Video is a full service production company that launched its video and television production business in 1989. Passport owns a vast stock footage library, an extensive collection of over 16,000 trailers, 3,000 feature films and more than 90 years of news libraries plus interviews with over 2,000 celebrities and political/influential personalities. Original innovative programming is created utilizing film footage from the Passport Library, licensed film clips, archival footage, and interviews with celebrities and leading authorities relating to the specific subject". More info when available.
While we are on Van Halen,
David Lee Roth has dropped his lawsuit against Van Halen, "without predjudice". That's certainly a positive move, perhaps an out of court settlement was reached? No doubt the re-union rumors will start up again, but I've heard nothing to suggest that is any more likely.
