Dear DLR, EVH, AVH, MA, and/or WVH,
You saved me once from the likes of ABBA, please come back and save me from the likes of Slipnot.

Thanks

I will never forget that experience. I almost really puked on EVH. I was so uncontrollably star struck and nervous. The intro to mean street still has that effect on me. It is really magical to watch. I highly recommend viewers watch the very ending of the guitar solo on “Live Without a Net” for a great live version of this.

Rickie VanWhalen, Scott – Thanks for sharing your personal encounter stories about VH. It’s always pretty cool to read stuff like that. You can’t read about stories like those anywhere else because their personal, so it’s just kinda cool to share stuff like that here. Especially since there isn’t ever much new stuff to hear about from VH themselves y’know?
I don’t have any personal stories about meeting anyone in Van Halen like that myself or I would share them, but it’s cool to hear about someone else’s insight or experience.
Hopefully we’ll all have some new experiences with Van Halen again in the not so distant future. Maybe not, but we can always shoot the shiznit.

@ Moleman- That was a great post. I couldn’t agree more. I wish Eddie would just make music for the fun of it. Who cares about critical acclaim, how many records sold, etc. He’s already accomplished all of that kind of success. Just play for the love of music because you’re Eddie-Fucking-Van Halen! Have fun with your band and screw the rest.
And Moleman those have been my sentiments exactly too on making a new album, like the way VH1 was recorded. That would be awesome to me.

Just a fan’s thoughts who loves Van Halen and doesn’t want it to be over. I would never think it’s my place to tell Eddie anything and I don’t think Moleman is doing that. Most of us are just big VH fans who miss the band being active and are just putting our two cents in. I’m sure Eddie doesn’t read these anyway.
But that did sound like good advice from Moleman. I wish it would happen that way.

Thanks Moleman……exactly!

This punk will say it again……Eddie you need to practice like you used to. You were sloppy when I heard you play at the last show I saw you. For a 100 bucks a ticket, practice Eddie!

@ Pasadena Kid — I like your posts, man. You mentioned vintage songs. I always liked “Could this be Magic”. Not the typical sound, but original. First time I heard it I was like, what the fuck was that?! Then I couldn’t stop humming it the rest of the day. LmAo

As you were saying though about them doing a second string of tours with another batch of classics. Think I’ll pass dude. They got my $200 last time. Well deserved, but unless it’s the original line up, or else they have a new album or even a couple new singles… ain’t gonna donate any more to Ed & Al’s retirment fund. No disrespect, I’m just sayin.

@ Diamond Dean — I agree on “Can’t get this Stuff” and “Me Wise Magic”. Both exceptional songs that are over-looked.

On a general note. I think *ALL* VAN HALEN songs should be appreciated not just the old stuff.
