Van Halen.

[faddam234]

Ive been a member of these forums for along time but I never posted much (most of you guys are great to just watch post!) ha!

Anyways...other than the radio gig thier aint much news...thought Id post my story.

I was a 9 or 10 years old. It was 1996 and I saw a comercial durring a baseball game that I will never forget...It was the nissan comercial with You Really Got Me. I remember watching that game waiting for the comercial to play just so I could listen... I was nine and lovin every minute of it. Since then... I became facinated with a band that I wasnt even around to see. It became a HUGE part of my life. Going for walks with my dad and listending to EVERY song they released.

I then found out dave left the band (in 1996! haha!) and was heart broken. I then decided that all my paper route money would be invested in ALL the Classic Van Halen catalouge and Dave solo. I now have every single Van Halen And solo Dave CD to date. I listen back to all of the songs and what memories.

I am now 19 years old (almost 20) and nothing has changed. I just got my first tattoo and it is a RAD classic Van Halen Tattoo. This band was a huge part of my life and now musical career...

So to get sentimental for a minute...Thank you Classic Van Halen. Not only did you shape my childhoop but your music kept me chalenging myslef to be a better musician, and dave taught me what a real frontman is supposed to sound and act like.

I am now in talks with roadrunner records about a possible record deal and a contract...thank you Dave, Eddie, Mike, and AL. If it wasnt for you I dont know where my life would be.

Thanks for listenin guys!
DRINK UP!

Neat story. Good luck with your music career as long as it's not that emo shit.

I don't know if the story "qualifies" for being "emo shit" but even if so, it's a nice read.
I assume that most ppl here have some special feelings about the music and the memories that it brings back to 'em. But that's only a guess.

Anyway, much luck with your musical endeavors!

I was just telling the guy good luck but that I hope he doesn't play "emo-metal" which is shit. I didn't mean his story was shit. Oh well.

Sorry dude, I got you wrong! My comment wasn't meant to be an insult anyway but still, I got you wrong. I totally agree with you on "emo-metal" being kinda...shit.

Could you give a description on how your music sounds?

[Unchainme]

Roadrunner records? Dude stay as far away as Emo-Metal as phsically possible. Keep your sound the same. Persoanlly I see Emo-Metal the equivlant of like the styx and the reo speedwagons of the 2000's.If you keep the band like CVH it'll blow these fucking bands out of the fucking water. Tell me when your records coming out, I'll bym it in a heatbeat.

Classic Van Halen tends to have that type of effect on people !

Roth on Dude !!!

Thanks guys appreciate the comments. I know my profile says im thirty (im a punk that way haha). I dont put much thought into my profiles. Emo? LMAO!

If Van Halen and bon scott era AC/DC were my inspirations I doubt id play that garbage. But If I do then EbDawson you have first privillage to Kick me in the balls.

The first thing I told roadrunner is that im very specific when it comes to song writing and that my style, although a bit retro, is something im going to stick with. My sound is bassicly taking a Heavy guitar sound (kinda like new age"metal") and using it to write bluesy/rock material. If I can find some sound clips of the band im working with I will and post them.

If my dream does come true and we strike a deal (they are still unsure if its something they want to invest in) then ill be sure to give a shout out to the roth army for your no holds barred attitude!
