I feel like there could have been better shows they could have chosen from. I listened to the two tracks and...yikes. Dave strained or talk-singed his way through most of it. I hate to pick on him,...
Always found it a bit ironic that Van Halen's heaviest album also had the most "interesting" inner sleeve pic. Kind of shows perhaps what kind of audience Dave was aiming at. Though I wouldn't pin...
I'm trying to remember, but I remember an interview with Mike where he said Ed would come up with riffs and all of them would work on putting everything together. It makes me wonder how it worked...
Plot twist: They're mixing the new Chickenfarce album.
Every time I listen to 1984, I feel an urge to buy tiger striped pants.
Mmkaaay...

His tone is just so...Ballsy. They just cut right at you. And he's got great dynamics, knowing when and when not to play. I just love how he didn't need to write anything complex. All the kids these...
Yeah, those old JMPs are pretty damn huge.
I wonder if those were prototype Peaveys
In all honesty, I don't think anyone can give you a straight answer. You'll have the snobs that either say wood doesn't matter or ones that sniff over every grain like a fine wine.
In my amateur...
I'm not sure what it is, but I feel like Ed's tone got better on the '84 tour compared to the '82-3 stuff. He just sounded so thin. Maybe it's just the quality.
Well, Spotify, but... lots of Accept. Hoffman has one of the best metal tones ever and is like the German Tony Iommi. He does not write a bad riff what so ever. If I could have just half of that sort...
Oh...You. I see what you did there.
I wonder what's the stack of Kramer bodies.
Also...what's up with the last picture? It looks like somebody did a shitty job at Photoshop with that bass guitar headstock.
Agreed. I think I maybe have listened to OU812 all the way through...once, and I don't care to relisten to it. It's not my bias about the CVH-era... it's just a shit record. At least there were some...
Good mix of both for me. It really depends on the genre though, because I can handle the overtop, cheesy stuff as well as the more sophisticated and serious. I mean, if I'm listening to punk or glam...
Something tells me he would have made it just out of spite.
And "Ice Cream Man."
Because tattoos are "in" right now.
Why stop at 15? I mean, there's a politician in Cali asking for 26 an hour. Shit, I should just drop everything, all my studies, my plans for a grad school, and go flip burgers for the rest of my...
I'm not expecting another masterpiece like the classics. I still think ADKoT was a solid album. I just don't know how many other demos they can rehash. I want some fresh material. We saw some of that...
We keep going back to this. We don't want them to try to re-live their classic days yet I don't want Van Halen to not sound like Van Halen. It's not AC/DC syndrome, but what door can they go through?...
I'd rather have a band with Dave and Wolf, than Sam and Mike.
I think some of us are kind of jumping the gun just a bit. It's Van Halen, we can't read in between the lines too much and inject our inward fantasies before they even say anything.
Fuck yeah, man. Good stuff!
