This one is a hoot. From melodicrock.com
Great to see Eddie and Alex Van Halen out and about last night - nice one chaps! They joined country rocker Kenny Chesney on stage in LA...the same Kenny Chesney that Sammy Hagar has previously jammed with.
From the LA Times: "The featured drink sold by sponsor Cruzan rum during Kenny Chesney's current tour is the Cruzan Confusion mango- and coconut-flavored liquors mixed with pineapple juice. Judging by the pre-show lines at the Home Depot Center in Carson on Saturday, this potion isn't as popular with the country rocker's fans as is his signature drink, a salty margarita. But enough Confusion was consumed to enhance the group bender caused by Chesney's performance.
"Every year we've played in Los Angeles, the party's gotten bigger and bigger," declared Chesney (who shared the bill with up-and-comers Carrie Underwood and Dierks Bentley) early in the set. And crazier, no doubt. The moment the tanned and toned showman appeared on a satellite stage near the arena's rear (a trick he's done before), fans started rushing down the aisles. When Chesney hit the main stage two songs in, concert security was overcome by revelers pushing forward to high-five the star as he showered them with newly minted sweat. The mood of dangerous abandon was as intense as at any hip-hop or heavy metal show.
How could the Academy of Country Music's entertainer of the year, who recently played at the White House and received a pair of eel-skin boots from the president, stimulate more reckless endangerment than Ozzy Osbourne? Chesney reveled in the apparent contradiction at the show's climax, he gloated that this was the largest crowd to ever see a country performance in Southern California, only to welcome onstage Eddie and Alex Van Halen, the brothers behind not a country act but one of heavy metal's most beloved bands. This came after his sometime duet partner Uncle Kracker, a rap-rocker from Detroit, loped onstage in a Run-DMC T-shirt to bust some old-school hip-hop moves. Chesney, rapping and rocking along, never lost his country cool."
