A Chat With Home Blitz About Van Halen

Somewhat of a bizarre read but interesting and entertaining perspectives on the band and especially Dave.

The graphs on comparing Van Halen lyrical cuntent to Van Hagar is an angle I've never seen... Then the comparison of VH stage moves to a chess game is really strange but makes sense.

Couple of quotes I found humorous:

In a post which is ostensibly a defense of Sammy Hagar's time with Van Halen, you say: "Here's a thought experiment: Try to imagine what Hagar's dick looks like. If you aren't clawing through your scalp in a hopeless attempt to remove that image from your brain right now, you're barely human." What does Sammy's dick look like, to you?

A helpless baby bird sweating rum.

What lessons can Van Halen teach the general public?

If a bunch of ugly sons-of-bitches can figure out how to fuck the whole world, then so can I.

At the end of the day you might be able to make one good album out of the 4 Sam did with Ed. If you can tolerate his voice at all. Between his boring lyrics and Ed playing uninspired licks the 6 pack destroys all of it. And Ed said through it all that it was about the songwriting with Sam. Then why is the old stuff 10 times better Ed ?

I never thought I'd see somebody more obsessed with VH than we are! She belongs here. Of course she says the obsession is over. I guess VH had its 15 minutes in her strange brain!

Good read.

I'd guess she doesn't realize that once you take a deep dive into the VH pool you can't wash that stuff off...
