Roth And Roll
|
July 5, 1999 - The 1999 David Lee Roth tour continues
to roll through the USA. Reviews are coming in thick and fast - all can be
found on our DLR Tour Page. The set lists
are very Van Halen oriented, with the most recent shows only featuring
two DLR solo tunes - Yankee Rose and Tobacco Road, the
latter being a cover. (Right: July 4 set list.)
From all reports, Dave's new band have been extremely well received.
However, our reviewers are divided over the issue of guitarist Bart Walsh
playing Eruption and Spanish Fly. Many feel that it's
inappropriate for Bart to be playing Edward Van Halen's signature guitar
solo. Others say if it's OK for Gary Cherone to sing Jump, then
it's cool for Bart to play Eruption.

There have also been many comments about Dave's rap during Ain't
Talkin' 'Bout Love. During the "I've been to the edge" section,
Dave has taken shots at Sammy Hagar, Gary Cherone and Edward Van Halen.
Can you imagine living life as a Van Halen/Sammy Hagar/David Lee Roth fan, without
controversy? Naaa, it would be too boring!
Van Halen Radio!
July 7, 1999 - Have you ever had the following
thoughts:
- "The radio sucks! They never play songs I like."
- "I wish my local station played more Van Halen."
- "Wouldn't it be cool if there was a station that played only
Van Halen songs!"
If you've had these thoughts, you're not alone. We've been doing some
testing over the past few months, and have decided to make our all Van
Halen radio station public. At last, there is a radio station, available
worldwide via the Internet, that only plays Van Halen, David Lee Roth and
Sammy Hagar!
VHND Radio is now broadcasting live over the Internet!
To tune in to the broadcast, click on the link below:

WinAmp, press CTRL-L

VHND Radio will bring you all the songs you love, plus a few surprises.
We have a huge playlist, including all the Van Halen albums, plus
rare live tracks and demos.
The station will run 24/7 until Sunday afternoon (Jul 11, 1999). After that
it will operate between 11PM - 3PM PST from Sunday to Thursday, then 24 hours
during Friday and Saturday. Unfortunately I can't run the station
24/7 just yet, but this may be a possibility in the future, depending
on how successful it is. Apologies also for the weird hours - the VHND
is run from Australia so the time difference causes problems with things
like this.
Feedback is welcome!
