That's the kind of stuff you can get away with when there's adults only in your band.

[Matt White]

Bring back Michael Anthony & you bring back the boat captain...his hat said so. Come on Ed, right this ship once & for all.

Dave sure looked disappointed when he grabbed that empty bottle of Jack :(

Well you asked so I'll tell you. They weren't the biggest party band ever. That band named twice is one example, but since we've had enough of that discussion, here's another.

The band itself, no. But their music has been played at the most parties...hence "biggest party band" moniker.

[Andy Taylor]

But is that including other styles though? I'm sure the bruthas for example must be playing something else.

[Terry]

Mid-to-late 1970s through the early 1980s seemed like a pretty wild time in LA.

[Andy Taylor]

Well, aye.

The bruthas partied to VH & didn't know it :)

Heh...

What Van Halen song did tone loc sample?

I know 2 live crew sampled, "Ain't talkin bout love" for THE FUCK SHOP LOL

[WARF]

Nevermind found this at wikipedia...

The song uses an uncredited sample of Van Halen's "Jamie's Cryin'". Van Halen's management at the time asked for a flat fee (credited in some reports to be USD$5,000) as payment to have the song sampled by Tone Lōc. Apparently, this decision was taken without consulting the band's original members (credited as co-authors of the song), who in turn did not expect Wild Thing to become the major hit it became. A subsequent civil lawsuit was settled out of court, with the band receiving USD$180,000 as settlement payment. Alex Van Halen has gone on record saying that he had heard the song over the radio halfway and not realizing it had been sampled until he recognized his (by now famous) tom-tom break at least a few times. Concerning the settlement, he said: "Well, at least we got something. Tone Lōc and his people made millions out of it..."

[sadaist]

FUCK ME! $180,000 for 2 seconds of drumming. I'm in the wrong line of work.

That's not the only thing Tone Loc ripped off...

Did Robert Palmer get any settlement for the girls in the video? lol

Trust me...the bruthas know about VH. As evidenced by the standing ovation they gave them with Dave at the MTV awards in 1996.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Retreaded a couple oldies out today, huh boys ???

[Panamark]

Remember everyone thinking MA had a joint on the cover
of WACF... He denied he even smoked cigarettes.. Sure was a lot
of smoke coming out his Samhole back then !

[WARF]

Michael Anthony said in an interview he smokes occasionally while drinking.
