I'd like to sound off on this new quote Van Halen unquote tour. I feel I am entitled to sound off because I am one of the chosen few who witnessed a true Van Halen concert in 1979 with the "real" Van Halen.
To draw an analogy for this new tour; it's kind of like if you went to the pet store and bought a cute little puppy. The puppy licks your face when you call his name. He wags his tail when you bring him to the park to run free. But when you finally get him home, he shits on your brand new shoes. Do you know what I'm saying?
It still will not be a true Van Halen show without MA. Like him or not, MA was a part of the "real" Van Halen. I have read so many posts on this site trying to downplay his importance. "Maybe this kid can sing the high notes" are one of many opinions I have read. "Maybe the kid can make us forget about MA" writes another. Well, I'll tell you. I'm tired of it. Give me MA or give me death, I say.
