Classic Van Halen had THE look alright. "Scary skinny" as Dave would say. To me they not only looked happy, they looked dangerous too. They had that edgey look of a killer young band.
With Sammy they look safe, acceptable and mainstream. They lost their edge and it showed.
As a band their whole message since Dave left, through their music AND their image, is one of confusion.
Van Halen had the look that if you were a band on the same bill you would be going "Oh Fuck! Those guys are going to murder us!" Even Mike had a bad ass vibe to him in the early days.
Originally posted by RogueHorseman RG and I were talking earlier about how, no matter what all was said later on, that Ed and Dave were always smiling back in the day.
It's true. Go take a look at all those classic pics... Al and Mike, too.
Very true Rogue...I was thinking the same thing recently when watching the Montreal 84 dvd.
Sad that it all imploded 10 months later, cause you couldn't tell of any gloom or doom watching them live back then...
