Van Halen, baby

Diamond Dave is a Doctor now? Wow, what a talented guy!!!

I agree with sonofjim, VH to me in the Roth era was good time, Friday night cruisin type music. Not every song was "Panama" or "Ain't takin bout love", but all sounded great with the T tops out! The new album has grown on me some, but it is of course, no VH1, II, or 1984, etc.

There are plenty of people who go to see the Rolling Stones, for instance, despite their best days being behind them. Go see the VH boys for crying out loud and have a good time reliving the good old days!

Disagree - I've been listening to the new CD for a few days now. It sounds like it could've been made in the 80s. I mean it sounds like Van Halen. Somehow I wasn't expecting that. It's got a few good songs. "Blood and Fire" and "Bullethead" could have appeared on "Women and Children First." I like "Stay Frosty" too; it's kind of an "Ice Cream Man" revisited.
I think "Tattoo" sucks; they shouldn't haven't opened the album with it.
But Dave's singing is good and Eddie's guitar work hasn't diminished one bit.
I just wish tour tickets weren't $170.

You don't expect them to be able to afford geriatric care on $20.00 ticket prices do you? :)

$170?

That's funny.
