I fully expected one of the nose in the air critics to rip the reunion to pieces in their reviews, but as of yet, I have not read or heard a single negative word. Really, really surprising, and very impressive.
And you know what else? The thought of scaled down, raw rock n roll laced with a heavy side dose of sheer fun seems to be turning even the most emo of the flock on! Can it be that Van Halen might have another opportunity to re-invent and re-invigorate rock yet again??
Seems all the stars and planets are at least pointing that way, and I say about damn time. I am sick and tired of hearing sampled this and sampled that at concerts and on disc...I paid $150 a ticket four years ago to see The Eagles, and even THEY had canned music and vocals!
Turn the damn guitar amp up, mix in a little delay and phase, give me bass and drums and DLR and let's put a musical TASER in the butt cheeks this nation has waited 23 years on!
PS - yes I am thrilled at how well it has been going. Can you tell?
