^ Baroness are great, one of the better new groups out there. And there's never a bad time for Tool!! Look up their Halloween show from this year if you haven't yet. They opened with "No Quarter",...

I was checking in semi-regularly until the forum disappeared (for a couple weeks maybe?) to a glitch. It's been silently resurrected but I think the downtime probably scared away half the remaining...

That's awesome! Hard to believe how many VH bootlegs you can amass from the club days, and STILL come across neat adds to the setlist like this, years later. Plus, the Black Sabbath 8-pack from...

Man, that's a tough call. Each member of the band evolved as time went by, just in different spurts...

Eddie, I'd have to agree and say Fair Warning. Got a uniquely dark vibe compared to the rest...

I'm gonna be showing my [slightly younger] age, but I still remember listening to VH for the first time: I'd begun playing guitar in 1999 at 14 years of age, and one of my main ways of checking out...

Good to see you too, Sum! I have pretty much retired from message boards these days, but still consider myself a VH fan, so when the latest tour kicked off, I came here to check in. Was very...

Thanks for bumping this up, DLR 1973! I hadn't stopped by the site in ages 'til the tour kicked off. Good to catch up on Mike Anthony these days. Cool to see him comment on Chris Squire's passing...

I wouldn't be too hard on the nerdy fans... Probably could've been me during my peak VH fan years, especially during the high school period, LoL.

They do sound tight. Glad Wolf talked his dad...

I went and read that PR disaster after seeing it discussed here on CVH. Awful! Made me wonder if Ed was just trying to get DLR wound up before the tour. Thank goodness they got rolling soon after,...

I'm doing well, UG, thanks! Came out of the medical affair intact, and have a good scar to show off to ladies at heavy metal shows since then.

I'm in Ukraine these days, where the action is....

Three of my favourite cuts, Light Up The Sky (as an opener!), DDL, and Dirty Movies, all in one set. Never thought I'd see the day! Good on Wolf for getting those out of his father. Dave sounds...

Allow me to recommend a winner you might've missed out on, back in the day, UC....

It's called Gregg Bissonette -- Submarine!

Great little overlooked collection. It's got plenty of guests on...

I don't think they'd be able to choose "Shy Boy", as there's no way Wolfgang could handle Billy Sheehan's playing on that one. It'd have to be something with a more by-the-books bass line, like...

That's because most of the music on EEAS is too intricate, with too many guitar and bass tradeoffs, etc... Most of today's youths -i.e. those raised on Nickleback- would just get lost in one of...

In fact I get more than Eddie, grasshopper. That's why I look at the big picture as opposed to using rose-tinted glasses...

Because it'd sound killer, and Eddie being a lifetime musician...

Now THIS I agree with!

That first Best Of album was the very first VH album I heard, back around 1999. I was in my mid-teens then, and those two tracks were among my earliest favourites by...

"Dumbest show on earth"? This, coming from a guy who saw Van Hagar in concert, back in the day...? I rest my point. But I'll correct myself and say they should play a full DLR solo tune, not just...

I'd like to see a tip of the hat to Roth's EEAS album, myself. I'm not thinking a cover of a song, as neither Dave, nor Ed, nor Alex, nor Wolfgang could match the performance on that one. But if...

Dig the photo of Roth with his dog, there. Good way to look cool in your 50s without going over the top as so many rockstars do.

Seems to have stayed in good shape too, what with the spread...

I got mine a few months back. Only missed a couple of flu shots over the years. Had pneumonia in my right lung last February, which was a bitch, so I jumped on this year's as soon as the ads hit...

RE: Coca Cola, Pepsi, etc., I just never got into them. I was a fussy flavour-man as a kid, and hated carbonated drinks. I'd always take water instead at a pop machine or restaurant... Figure it...

Couldn't drink the tap water in Russia either, unless you boiled it for 10-15 minutes. They did have clean, bottled water available in the grocery stores. The problem was that beer was cheaper than...

Well, I've only been to Florida and rural New York as far as the US goes. But that said, I did find Europe and Russia pretty different. IMO any greater focus on art, heritage, and peoples' welfare...

^^^ Cool stuff re: the family brand winery in Chile there, Nick. Had no idea! And you've been here how many years...?? LoL.

I've never been to South America before. It'd be quite the party...

^^ Great Rothism there, Robbie - I either missed that one or forgot it! Definitely going on the quotable quote list...

The last few years, I usually write a list of 10 New Year's resolutions and...
