Van Halen was (and is) a fucking gift.

How come so many of these stories the listener just smoked some weed?

This is an awesome article. I love hearing any stories from people who lived it. He really paints a great image of Dave... Pretty much spot on to how I'd imagine it! Oh if I had a goddamn time machine!!

Good read and well written.

And the author has the right take on Sammy...

"The next two decades are a creative dark age for Van Halen. After years of ego-fueled turmoil from all sides, David Lee Roth leaves the band to pursue a doomed solo career. An entirely unremarkable singer named Sammy Hagar replaces him and Van Halen becomes one of the most boring bands in existence."

Classic!

Awesome article. Incredible writing.
The only thing that pisses me off about these stories is that they always end on such a low note. Nine and a half times out of ten, the message is the same "Yesterday was everything, and today is shit"....

....I can't relate to any of that.

Mike put his berries in a straight jacket. I've heard of cock rings but ball crushing pants never is a good thing.

Agreed. Yesterday was great and today is still great. Life is what you make it. If you look around at your relationship, your house, your friends, your job etc etc it is what you have created. I have been one of the most positive people you will ever meet and it pays off. With that said, I enjoyed the read, and I'm ready for the next chapter in the book of Van Halen.
