Tribute to Van Halen

[napho]

They've been an interesting band for a long time and not David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar, Gary Cherone, cancer, drugs, booze, or divorce have been able to stop them. And their music is pretty good too imho.

Pretty good over all. But I have to admit, that when I'm not in the proper frame of mind, some of their music is just irritating noise to me.










( btw, almost missed this one *shock* )

okay. i'll give my 2 cents about this band.
of course i consider them one of the great bands.
they were a mainstay in my high school years.
i made a post in Harby's thread "A Poem".
in it i explained about my "first love".
getting past him being an asshole, he took me to my first concert, which was VAN HALEN.
this was in St. Louis.
i believe it may have, then, been Keil Auditorium.
David Lee Roth was the lead singer at the time.
i must have been 16 years old.
the thing i remember the most were a pair of red leather pants, Mr. Roth wore that evening.
tight, of course.
flared, low in the waist.
but when he turned to swish his ass at the audience, i understood why he made a point of doing this.
for he had no "seat" to the back.
cheeks hanging out.
and boy could he "swish" it at ya.
i will admit i don't remember most of this concert, for this was back in the day of .
but i do remember that VAN HALEN was a big part of the memories i hold of that era in my life.
and i thank them.

heres to VAN HALEN

I don't know much of Van Halen's music but David Lee Roth's book "Crazy from the heat" is hilarious.
