Van Halen......

[tlapinski]

just heard Hagar is back in for some new songs and a possible summer tour.

[BigFish]

Best news I have heard in a long time! VH with Sammy is the best incarnation I believe. Great news T-Lap.

[Scotch Bonnet]

Too bad David Lee Roth evolved into such a loser........

He was THE MAN in the late 70's, Sammy can't hold a candle to the original Van Halen.

[chris L]

all I want is eddies X wife . oh valerie !

[TheRattBoy]

Dave and Sammy / apples and oranges, each added something different to the mix.each great doing their own thing. johnny "the Ratt Boy"

VH just hasn't been the same since Roth got booted. Saw them at the Boston Garden in '81, 10th row. Excellent show!

Oh yeah, that was with Roth

Seen them there too, VH was all done after Roth was out of the picture

[The Dad Fisherman]

I Was there too..."Woman and Children First" Tour....Awesome show

[fishweewee]

Van Hagar back together again?

[tlapinski]

i never saw any of the VH versions. i love the roth stuff, and i have heard some van hagar tunes. i would be psyched just to see the band out there tearing it up. we'll see what happens.

[BigFish]

They sucked hard with Gary Cherone! Worst friggin album I ever bought! I am a big VH fan and I like to have all of my favorite artists albums......however, after hearing that album once I threw it out. Absolute worst album I have ever heard bar none! Glad Sammy is back, I like them with Sammy better than bubble gum snappin' Dave! Sammy lends a harder edge to the band! IMO

[tlapinski]

what was the name of the "hit" off of the van cherrone album? i have been trying to remember that for some time. i remember the video, it was set in an ice cave.

[BigFish]

There was no "hit". It was the only song off the album that got any air time and it sucked......don't recall the name! What did you think of that album T-Lap?

[tlapinski]

i never heard anything else off it. i just remember it got a little air time. unfortunately, i wasn't into VH in there prime. the first song i really knew was "Right Now". they probably formed the band right around the time i was born. (1978) i grew up on classic rock, and didn't venture away from that until i was in my early teens. that is probably why i still like 80's rock as much as the new heavy stuff that would make most of you kill yourself if you had to listen for 5 minutes.

[Bill L]

VH I an II were staples for me through high school, and I was at the Women and Children First tour at the Prov Civic Center, but it was pretty much all downhill from there after Roth flaked out

[goosefish]

I was in high school in the mid-eighties. Pink Floyd was huge and so was Sabbath and Maiden--I can remember that on our soccer team The Trooper was the official get pumped song. In college I started to get into the horn--played trumpet, and listened to loads upon loads of jazz. Now at the ripe age of thirty-three, I find myself playing Brahms and Satie and Ludwig Van
Of all the 80s stuff that I listend to I still love that early Floyd sound, not Sid Barret early, but Ummagumma, Meddle, and one of my all-time-favorites, Animals.

I think they were gathered in a 'spect'

goosefish, have you heard the new album 'dub side of the moon'???

its put out by the easy all stars and it rocks

word for word note for note version of dark side of the moon, but its all dub reggae

[Bill L]

spect?

[goosefish]

Never heard of it, but I love the old dub stuff. Floyd and reggae sounds interesting. 70s dub is great stuff. I highly recommend the trojan box sets and King Tubby and Lee scratch. I've got a bunch if you ever want to borrow some to blow glass to.

[Bill L]

and he never inhaled

[fishweewee]

YOu have to admit - David Lee Roth was kinda phaggy in a glam sorta way, no?

[chris L]

man Im old ! you guys keep talking about DLR and SH . what about valerie ? I know most of you are too young to remember the show "one day at a time" , but she is one smoking 40+ year old woman . I hope I look that good when Im 40 .

david lee roth is a faggot and a premadonna , but can sing and sammy he needs a comb .

[BigFish]

Sounds like Chris L wants to be 5' 5" tall, brunette, with breasts when he is 40? Hmmmm........curious.

[chris L]

Im already 5'5" tall and 40+ with brown hair and lots of it but I got ripped off , no breasts .

[goosefish]

My girlfriend just burned a cold play CD. Now I've got a thing for Cold Play. Call it some kind of stigma, call it spite. Handsome young fellow with every women going crazy for him. But I tell you one thing this guy can sing. Great voice full of melodrama.

[Slingah]

VH was the band in the early 80's. I saw the 1984 tour front row at the gahden. The Van Haggar stuff is good too...just different.
Hey gf....Animals is one of my favs too...My favorite Floyd album anyway.
