Hey Simon, nice to see you still check in here. I'm gonna keep posting stuff when I happen upon, if only to keep track of it here.

This is a neat look behind the scenes...

A couple nights ago, through a strange series of events, I ended up at Crazy Girls, a strip club in Hollywood, across the street from Henson Studios where Roth records. I hadn't been to a strip club...

These outtakes sound really good!

Rawer, and without extra vocal tracks, overdubs, and sweetening, you can hear Roth working out the vocals. This seems like what they would sound like, "live in...

Roth's pants from recent tours, and what seems like a crew jumpsuit. I haven't gone through the site yet, but I have seen...

So you can hear a bit of the demo, including some of the solo. Can't say it's blown my mind, but you can definitely hear that EVH wrote the solo.....

So now Michael Anthony and Hags are involved in some sort of attempt to legitimize "Van Hagar" as Van Halen. And that dork Eddie Trunk is supplying narration? No doubt there will be lots of talk from...

Maybe next year.

Get Ready!!

If they are planning to tour in 2018, this New Year's Eve just might be when they announce it.

We shall see if I'm on to something...

Anybody else had enough of these? They just aren't that interesting, and have nothing to do with why I'm interested in Van Halen.

There have been a slew of them..kid plays Eruption, kid plays Hot...

True enough, I just hate to see t all laid at Roth's feet, which for years was the common opinion. Slowly people have perhaps realized that EVH was pushing him out too.

Am I behind in things or is this newly released?

This looks interesting, I haven't watched it all yet. This guy Warren Huart has some informative videos..

Two of my favorite bands. Works pretty well, and I have to wonder if there aren't more songs by these bands that would work well together.

It might be cool to hear some of the Van Hagar synth...

Knowing what I now know about these guys, this video makes me feel even worse than it used to.

At 8:00, it's "Tell me about the guy to your right"... at 10:30 it really gets rich.

Halfway through...

So far, it's the perfect follow up to the Van Halen Rising book, and much better written. You can tell that Monk had a role in developing the "Van Halen Attitude" that the band...

I expect that this book will only add more weight to the notion that "Van Halen" was really "David Lee Roth, featuring the Van Halen Brothers".

Oh yeah!
This has the potential to be the best VH book ever!
I hope Monk pulls no punches, and we get the real lowdown on VH's road war stories.. Surely, we will get some insight into the backstage...

Been finding some cool pics...

This one is great. Is it just me, or does it seem like they interacted with each other quite a bit more during the 1979 tour, than later tours? There seems to be...

A cool pic of DLR and Mike, I never saw before (I can only link to it, though.

I ran into this, and had to laugh. It gets a bit awkward, and then Roth the Cad exits with style. I wonder if Tina was pissed.

I don't think I've seen this pic before. It's Roth with Todd Rundgren's Utopia (and maybe Dave Edmunds too?), backstage at The Ritz in NYC. Looks like 1981.

Perhaps Rock Is Dead, but the spirit of DLR will live on through Milo, a natural extension of the camp Roth persona, into politics. He even has a rider with ridiculous backstage demands.

So if Hags "never wants to take an enemy to his grave", shouldn't he be making amends with DLR?

I mean, he...
