Top 10 Greatest Rock n’ Roll Song Endings of All Time
December 17, 2009 102 Comments
From GuitarWorld.com: Well, bub, no matter how good the song is, it eventually has to end. The question, then, is: How’s it going to end? A studio fade giving the illusion of a sing-along chorus going on forever in some imaginary world populated by elves? A repeated turnaround? An abrupt, punk-rock-style halt? An unsuspected, off-key [...]

Article from GuitarWorld.com. 2009 Photo by Clay Patrick McBride. Old photos from VHND.com & Warner Bros. “Eruption” Van Halen (1978) “I like the way ‘Eruption’ sounds.

Sammy Hagar’s 18-year journey from Baja to the Strip

From Las Vegas Sun:
By Robin Leach
Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2009 | 6:02 p.m.
Rocker Sammy Hagar has finally opened his Las Vegas flagship outpost of Cabo Wabo Cantina that he founded in 1991. It’s taken 18 years to bring the party playground up from the Mexican Baja to Sin City. Just hours before its official weekend opening in Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile Shops, Sammy flew in from his San Francisco Bay Area home to give me a tour and chat about his near two-decade journey:
Robin Leach: For a man who loves the rock and roll of Las Vegas, why the heck did it take you so long to bring Cabo Wabo here?
Sammy Hagar: Tell me about it. I have been trying to make different deals in this town, and something would always happen. Maybe the guy I was trying to do it with would get fired or the building would get repossessed. It’s crazy, and I didn’t want to be attached to just anything because Cabo Wabo has such a vibe, its own energy and theme, that it doesn’t go along with some of the other themes of the hotels. And these other theme hotels were trying to get me to put a Cabo Wabo in, and I was like no, it doesn’t work there, it has to be kind of standalone. I have just been too uppity.
RL: How long has Cabo Wabo been in Cabo?
