Okay, so my friend just got me a book with pictures of Classic Van Halen through the years for my birthday. I bet you guys have all read it, but, I just wanted to say I love it so much.
I was a bit upset with the shortness of Dave's forward. But I did enjoy that he questioned his fashion sense in the 70s-80s.
I absolutely love the pictures so much. It really does show what they're like.
I'm only about a quarter into reading the quotes,
but i've been learning some stuff already.
Yes, im a n00b and know almost nothing about dear Dave.
But yeah, I love it so far.
You guys read it?

I'm a bit upset with the longness of your backward.

Now, what are you trying to say ?? You know it was Abraham Lincoln who invented pictures. Rumor has it that he was tryin to prepare scrambled eggs and it came to him in a preemonution. So just giving you some schoolin' without fa fa fa foolin'...

I'm only about a quarter into reading the quotes,

The funny part is the price gos up by 5% if you blink your eyes three times while trying to read them in recerse...

but i've been learning some stuff already.

Here's something to learn: Size 5 is fat...

Yes, im a n00b and know almost nothing about dear Dave.

OK, Van Halen trivia time...

What is Dave Roth's real last name ??

You guys read it?

Read what...:confused:

You'd think it WOULD have stopped back then, wouldn't you?

Welcome to the Army.

It was a pretty cool book, though.

A very cool book, and one which I loved reading. However, it's sad to see the way Ed was and the way he is now.

It was marked down as 25$ but 25% off at Best Buy, so I'm thinking "18.75? That's not too bad". But, I find out as the cashier is ringing the book up, it was 25$ after the discount.

Best Buy, you cheap bastards.
