I felt a little sick when Sam and Mike stood on stage as representatives of Van Halen. And I threw up a little in my mouth when Velvet Revolver fumbled their way through one Van Halen classic and a bizarre version of the horrible Van Hagar "song" Runaround. I turned the television off as soon as Mike and Sammy took the stage to perform. After all, I'm only human.
During his speech, Sammy stated that you couldn't have kept him away from the ceremony with a shotgun. Well, I wish someone had tried because seeing that mop-headed dufus accept an award on behalf of the mighty Van Halen was a travesty of the highest order.
The only redeeming moment was when someone in the audience repeatedly yelled, "THAT'S NOT VAN HALEN!" after Velvet Revolver's performance.
Quite frankly, I've been yelling the same thing since 1985.
