I just gave a look again, after years and years I did not, to the "Hot for teacher" video.
Guys and gals...What energy!
The sad thing is such song is without any doubt "timeless" and still today it could be the perfect anthem for partying and having lots of fun! Unfortunately, we won't get anything like these for a long time.
When you listen to songs' lyrics written by David Lee Roth, it's not like Roger Waters' "Fletcher Memorial Home", with names and crap belonging to 1983... It's timeless. We could sing "Beautiful Girls" or "Dance the night away" even on a spaceship heading to Mars.
Timeless is the reason we still hear Mozart and Beethoven today.
Van Halen was "enthusiastic belligerance", wit in lyrics, energy, partying, having fun, breaking the rules and being proud of it.
Now listen to "I can't stop loving you" with that fat tubby man on the mike. Makes me feel so old.
I think we've all been without any Van Halen since the two songs in 1996 with Dave singing. That's 8 years ago.
We're accustomed in waiting. And I think that no Van Halen or Van Hagar is definitely the same thing. We still have to wait, hopefully, for something real to happen.
No Roth songs on tour? Thanks Hagar for understanding you're not supposed to sing or be part of that spirit. Drive your Nissan home, that can't reach 55, and drink that bovine piss with alcohol mixture you sell as Tequila.
Case closed. There is no Van Halen and Van Halen isn't touring this summer. And the guitarist's and his sister's last name being the same of the once great band, is nothing but a mere coincidence.
yours,
John Holmes
