the time machine intro is killer .... but when did Alex Lifeson start looking like james cameron
fuck your fucking framing
In honor of the return of Jamie's Cryin' to the setlist -
Now Sammy wasn't doing alright
He knew Ed would forget him
Now he's playing dive bars all night
Cause Ed's gone forever
Oh, Oh, Oh Sammy's CRYIN'
Sam wants to send Ed a letter
To get back in the band and feel better
Chickenfoot cancels shows all the time
And Spammy's career is in the shitter
Oh, Oh, Oh, Sammy's CRYIN'
Now Sammy's been in the gutter before
He knows what failure is for
His career should mean a little, little more
Than inheriting Dave's place in the band
Oh, Oh, Oh, Sammy's CRYIN'

That looks like Al's kit from the Wha? gig.
My karma just ran over your dogma.
This month is a little break for the Foot - Joe is touring down under with G3 and Sammy is on a short vacation having launched his new Rum, and Michael has been busy laying some tracks down! Everyone will be returning shortly to prepare for the summer Different Devil 2012 tour and hope to see you out there!
Mad Anthony recently lent his bass chops and background vocals to Bret Michaels who is putting together a solo record with many of his friends throughout the music industry.
The record is tentatively slated for a summer release and Mike joined Ace Frehley and Michaels to record Poison's "Nothin' But a Good Time." Other musicians on the upcoming disc include Joe Perry, Loretta Lynn and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

HAHAHA Poison!!! Mike jumped the shark with lover Sam years ago. Hot sauce sell out!
So that do-rag wearing A-hole is releasing a solo album of covers of his own bands songs?! That makes zero sense. Mike would've been better off laying down tracks for a solo album guested by people with talent.
Don't hate me...I would truly sacrifice my firstborn to the altar of DLR, but I'll say it: Bluegrass Van Halen
This photo needs an encore!!
About changing letters in names and surnames, maybe you know that H in spanish is mute, so I tried to replace it with the first letter of the alphabet,,Aagar or Bagar are not words in spanish but with C:
Cagar is to Shit in spanish...... Yes, SAMMY CAGAR this photo tells everything!!!
45 pages of Sam bashing and counting... like Jon Stewart says a lot of times, "the material just writes itself".
It takes on another dimension for me also because I had a co-worker that was a real ass-muncher (since retired thankfully) that really looked a lot like Sam. I really hated that guy.

If Mike does the background vocals, it will sound just like van halen...his backing vocal are the key to van halen's sound...haven't you heard?
UGH! This song gives me fucking NIGHTMARES!
My mom was captain of a high school girl squad called SPRITES. My older sis was in it. I guess kinda like girl scouts but different types of stuff. Anyways, they choreographed a dance to this song. Of course I wanted to watch the older high school girls dance (I was in Jr High). But I had to hear this song 4,372,861 times. Fuck that shit!
*PS - Cara Knott was part of the SPRITES at our house. She was the one murdered by CHP officer Craig Peyer in San Diego in the 1980's. Pulled over at night off the freeway. Not sure if it was national news or not but was HUGE in San Diego. The exit she was murdered, that part of the freeway is named after her. Really cute girl too.

LOL. Sorry. My daily thread derailment. I'll finish with
FUCK YOU SAMMY HAGAR!!!!! Suck a dick!
There. Back on topic.
For the life of me, I can't figure out how in green hell this thread is 45 pages long, while the official ADKOT review thread is only 35 pages long.
And then I realized it's probably because I keep posting in it.
D'oh!
I hear some chinese knockoff sweat shop is going to make a Sammy Hagar signature Brick of Cheese guitar amp. You get a free Cabo Wabo sombrero with each purchase.

This motherfucker was the frontman of VH all these years and I fucking swear to God ...Eddie was my only reason I held on to this non- sense ...I pucked at the FUCK show than on the balance show I....ok this is where we have to remind each other of big brother....in other words this Sammy asshole was never good luck for me since the beginning...
I hate Sammy Cagar for what he did to Van Halen and David. .... 28 years between 1984 and ADKOT, but look what I discovered in one of the main avenues of Buenos Aires:
Van Halenīs graffitis, even the people here knows that the True Van Halen is back.
Awesome! VH in south America! Kick ass!
the more i read in this thread the more confused i get
I cannot believe how many of you wasted time and money on spammy fuckkin cocksuckin motherfuckin gaybar and PLEASE stop with the bullshit about "it was because of Eddie"
Hey I was a huge suppoter of Ed.............but fuck there was no way in hell I would waste my hard earned dinero on that fuckin abortion of a once MIGHTY band..
now the lot of you come here laying claim on how much you can't stand that piece of shit..............when not so long ago you were all at the shows pumping fists and playing air guitar...too fuckin funny!!
Can't Control your Future. Can't Control your Friends. The women start to hike their skirts up. I didn't have a clue. That is when I kinda learned how to smile a lot. One Two Three Fouir fun ter thehr fuur.
Thank you SunisinuS, but it wasnīt me. I am a little old for graffitis.... I discovered the graffitis four days ago, I couldnīt believe it!!! They were on the wall of a private hospital !! But I hadnīt my camera, so I returned yesterday and took some photos, and looking for more graffitis I found a couple more on a wall of the National Academy of Medicine, that building is not for students, the guy who painted the graffitis has balls, maybe he is not a teenager, there are not Discos there, itīs a high class residencial area. Can a trade the next can of Red spray paint for a glass of vodka???
Styx was really a band that TRULY belonged to Dennis DeYoung and the Panozzo brothers, John and Chuck respectively. Oh sure, James Young came in on the gig fairly enough, and if you use a measuring stick of, say, Iron Maiden's pre-1980 lineup changes, I guess the argument could in theory be made that he's as close to an original member as anybody's bound to get. But really, there's just no disputing that the real AUTHORITY on all things Styx is, for all intensive purposes, Dennis DeYoung.
It's kinda hard to say what went wrong after Paradise Theater, although most people write it off as "Well, Dennis and the band had success with a semi-concept album, so the ego got inflated, and he said 'Why not do something futuristic?'; and thus was born Kilroy Was Here and the band remained virtually joke fodder from there on out".
Personally, I think that's too easy. While James and Tommy today wouldn't dare acknowledge it, Kilroy Was Here was actually a pretty solid album as Broadway rock, and nobody can deny the fact that both Mr. Roboto and Don't Let it End were big hits. Although it was a lot cheesier than what Styx had been before hand (and yes, there were plenty of cheese elements), Kilroy was also pretty well written for it's particular genre, and by all accounts is still a pretty fun listen and translates live well enough in Dennis' solo shows.
The sad thing about Styx was, unfortunately, the attempt to make a new album in 1999 when it was painfully evident that the band was horrifically fractured and not going in a good direction - at all. On Brave New World, you can plainly hear Dennis' material is a much different vein than what James and Tommy were in, and the album, while showing potentially, was so disjointed and awkward that it was fairly obvious that Styx was a lost cause.
Rather than facing the truth, what did James and Tommy do? They singlehandedly TOOK OVER the band, throwing Dennis out, replacing him with a nobody from Canada and touring casinos with lesser and lesser interest. Throwing the original founder out of the band was bad enough, but then pretending like he was never IN IT at all by removing any reference of him from their website? That was borderline criminal. I mean, it's bad enough that James sings half of Dennis' material live himself these days, rather than the nobody replacement from Canada, but they barely play ANY of his songs live at all these days.
Dennis, meanwhile, has proven all the critics wrong. His Hunchback of Notre Dame soundtrack was well orchestrated, although quietly received; after a successful tour with an orchestra performing both his hits and Styx's hits, he returned to the studio and recorded A Hundred Years from Now, deflating the ongoing rants from James Young that all Dennis wanted to do was sing sappy ballads. Dennis remains a fantastic performer and has not said a SINGLE negative word about James or Tommy since being unceremoniously dumped out of his band, while James and Tommy both use every single interview possible to bitch and moan about their dislike for Dennis.
You tell me - who's taken the higher road and who has the better footing?
What happened to Styx was uncalled for, ridiculous, and extremely absurd - but it's a FUCK of a lot better than talking about Sammy Hagar.
Twistin' by the pool.
Damn... You know A LOT about Styx.
