My first post here. Joined a few days ago after lurking off and on for years, but recently several regulars here have contacted me privately saying I should start posting here so here the fuck I am. Some of you might know me (or hate me) from VH Links or even the VHML dating back to 1995 during the Cornell days as either "Partyslammer" or simply "T.B." My first VH show (my first live band in fact) was in '77 about a year before the 1st album was released and I've seen them every tour, '78 up to '04 with the exception of the Monsters of Rock tour in '88.

Anyway, I always figured when introducing myself, I'd better bring a motherfucking gift or something. Here's a YouTube video I slapped together several months back, "Sinners Swing" live from 6/21/81:

Here's my complete list of YouTube videos with more Van Halen as well as other bands I'm into:

Anyway, I hope I can piss half as many of you off as I have on VH Links.

T.B.

you saw them in 77?? Very nice. I was too young, and mommy wouldn't let me go to a show until '81.

So, welcome (back). I now pronounce you "Army Scum" :D

(not sure if you read that thread over at the links) :p

jk anyway

as you know, both sites have some very cool people at them, but this is the place to be when you want to just talk Roth with like-minded people

unless of course, you're discussing the "could be" tour and then you have a mixed bag here too

so, question #1...are you going to attend a show?

Nice video, A.

That song sounds soooo gooood live!

[diamondsgirl]

and thank you for this...I pulled it off your favorites...its one of my favorites too....

I so wish I were Dave's harmonica

Sure, even if the tour turns out to be a total trainwreck for whatever reasons, I'll check 'em out. I knoiw a lot of poeple are pissing and moaning about the fact that Mike isn't involved and the circumstances he's been booted out of the band, and honestly, I agree Mike being kicked out is bullshit but so what? It's outta my control so why whine about it? I saw 'em with Hagar and Cherone - at least this tour will have a good setlist.

T.B.

Excellent work. Oh to have this in the technicolor beauty of a studio released proshot...

Yeah, that "Army Scum" comment sure was nice wasn't it? Especially coming from a certain someone who posted here on a regular basis and (at least to my knowledge) never had a beef with anyone on this site.

Anyway, who cares? lol

Ahhh, I don't think she meant anything by it. I think she's referring to something one of those overly thin skinned Linktards posted in regards to the "Roth Army" ruining threads or some such whining.

And even if she called me a mutant pig fucker from Detroit, it's all cool and the funnier the insult, the better, imo.

Trust me, anyone who's familiar with my history in VHL knows I can give as good as I take.

T.B.

Who do you mean by "she?" If you're referring to DG, I was agreeing with her. DG and I know each other just a little bit. lol

No, both DG and I were referring to the poster formerly known as EVH FANATIC who originally made that "Army Scum" comment.

Welcome dude. Sammy and Gary both suck big time. But, none the less, Welcome!

Fuck Mike, Eddie, Alex and Dave on stage together. I`ll buy that!
I thought it was over for Dave in 2004, when he was doing small, half filled club gigs, in England. Maybe this period, broke the cammels back.
