Van Halen in the strangest places.

Witness this exchange from Facebook today - out of the blue- from one of the Irish Setter dog show people:

Glyn: One for Mike. Van Halen or Aerosmith ?


Michael Bro....Aerosmith....Toys in the Attic.

Me " Van Halen.

Ronald VH or course Mike you know that lol! It goes something like Zeplin, VH, Stones, Aerosmith, Ozzy, Floyd, Dio, I'm missing a bunch, but definatly have the first 5, oh yeh and Vinnela Ice:

Michael : Ron, i always thought you use to be a big Devo fan.lol

Glyn: Old Van Halen any day.

Me: Glyn are you going to the tour this time? Do you have the new album?

Ronald: l When a problem comes around, you MUST WHIP IT! WHIP IT GOOD! LOL!

Glyn : I saw them in 2008. Not so good, but they have had 4 years to get their shit together so we'll see Debbie.

Glyn: If I get tickets will you come down to see them with me?

Me: I wish I could but I've been 3 times already.

You've been to 3, could be 4....


4 is better...totally better!

OK...I don't wanna make a new thread for this and not sure where else to put it.

Sorry Shoes....HIJACK!!!


So anyways, was at Circle-K earlier. They have the Bic lighters at the counter. Typical band names I have seen for years, decades. AC/DC, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, KISS.

WHAT THE FUCK! NO GOD DAMN WAY!! I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES!!!

BAM!





Anyhow. Side is printed "2011 Van Halen". Very nice to see they are finally loosening that super tight grasp on the bands name. Perhaps we'll see more VH stuff floating around? And this is an official Bic lighter with VH name on it. Not some aftermarket sticker slapped on.

If anyone really wants one & can't get themselves, just PM me. I'd be happy to mail one out. No charge. I think there were maybe 7-8 VH ones in the rack I can go back & snag.

[sadaist]

Those aren't actual size by the way. I did not buy 2 HUMONGOUS Bic lighters

[DONNIEP]

I need one!! Can't really use my VH zippo since the paint wears off pretty easily.

[chi-town324]

cool find!!

not sure those can go through the mail, being flammable and all...unless you are trying to put yourself on some "watch list?"

Yes, I see him at dog shows occasionally.

Edit to say they see them covered, that is.

Very cool!

For me, the most awesome thing was seeing the ADKOT poster on the side of a building across the street from where Dave lived on the Lower East Side.
