Anyone Remeber that Van Halen.....

[lesterpaul]

eddie doesn't suck...

he's an innovator,he is original (anyone who disputes this tell me who he sounds like) just because he didn't whack himself with drugs or go down in an air accident doesn't matter to me... he and the band grew past their cock rock roots and people can't deal ...have you seen DLR lately he's still living in '78 SAD ....oh and btw i just found out they cancelled charlotte N.C. stop which would have been my second show this year having saw the opener in greensboro ......now that sucks

To quote the FAQ from VHT's website:

Quote:
17) How can I get the "Brown Sound"?
Step 3) Whatever you do, suppress any impulse to be creative and original.





WTF, EVH, is the farthest thing from uncreative and unoriginal.

 

[Doombot]

Surpress creativity and originallity? WTF? I hope you mean because Eddie has such a distinct style and sound that you have to do it perfectly to pull it off. Because I know you're not saying that the most creative and original player of the past 30 years is not creative or original.


When I was 13 there were only three things I knew for sure:

1.) I'm straight
2.) I need to make music
3.) Eddie Van Halen is God.

I thinks thats directed to the person trying to rip of Ed's sound and style, I could be wrong though.

Ok.. so how many of you VanHalen fans still drive your Camaro and have mullets?

Not me. Was too young to drive when Mullets and Camero's were still "Bitchin".

 

[Strange Leaf]

His tone on Van Halen 1 and Mean Streets was all about his technique. Even playing through the exact rigs he used on those albums there isn't anybody else on the planet could have sounded like him.

Thank God!

That is truly an awful guitar sound. Reminds me of a boss distortion straight into the console. Uuuuurghh.

Not a Van Halen fan? That's cool...I mean you're wrong, but that's cool.

Cut the mullet in about 96 and sold my second Camaro after I got married in 97...

I still love Eddie though. I recently acquired a couple of guitar picks that he played at a concert earlier this year..

I was really pumped when I got them !

Well, I for one still have my mullet and both my camaros. I use my worn out wife-beaters to keep 'em all polished and purty. THat way my wife looks good when shes in 'em with all her teased up hair... 'course she don't take so much time on her hair no more since I done knocked her up again, although having that big belly does come in handy when she's breast feeding the first two 'cause she can just rest 'em right on it while she's reaching for her smokes.

Van Halen rocks!

Are you our of your mind!! If that was a shitty sound, what's a good one?

VAN HALEN ROCKS!! The definition of american Rock and Roll.

Just checked the website and they don't even mention those 2 shows in the tour schedule.

Maybe there is somewhere else that you can see them ?
