It's great to see you over here, bro!I discovered DDLR.com before finding the army.
If I recall correctly, it was during the summer of '02, right around when DLR was touring with SH.
I started poking around, looking for DLR/VH info, found classicvanhalen, the Links, and eventually the DDLR forums.
Prior to that, I wasn't a computer dude at all in the 90s, didn't even have an email address until 2000 or so. Used to lug a borrowed Apple setup to school every time I had to pull an all-nighter and type up a major assignment.
So, getting a decent laptop in '02, I signed up over at Von's and had a blast both there and here (though mostly there
). Lots of laughs and a lot of memories now, too.
On a related note, it has struck me how my own personal VH experience, in a long-term, life-long perspective, is now so intertwined with my thoughts, experiences, and memories related to the VH message boards, particularly DDLR and here, that there's almost no separating the two: the band, and the online life related to it.
There's really no other band or fan community with which I've had a similarly intense online life, none.
You were definately one of my favorite posters from ddlr.com!!Comment

My fave DLR quote:
We love the handicapped. Without them, we'd never have anywhere to park.
DLR on KISW with Steve Slayton ca. 1982

I remember finding the Army, and Slawterhouse. I'd never seen message boards/forums before, and couldn't figure out what the fuck all these crazy people were talking about! Now, I'm just one of the crazies."Ya know what they say about angels... An angel is a supernatural being or spirit, usually humanoid in form, found in various religions and mythologies. Plus Roth fan boards..."- ZahZoo April 2013

It was a classic live exchange.
A girl called the station, and got on the air, asking Dave and spED if she could somehow get into the show and see them, because she was in a wheelchair.
Dave told her to go to the gates and tell whomever, that she was there to see Van Halen, and then they would let her in.
After the phone call, the DJ remarked how nice that was of them to help the handicapped like that.
And Dave's response knocked us all to the floor laughing......
