On a positive note the T-shirts are outstanding.

At this point under Lousiana law I think she is still technically his aunt. :D

Correction.....Aunt, sister, cousin is the correct term

Ever play live and tour, hotshot?

I have.

Did 2 world tours with my Hondo guitar, bandannas, Levi jacket, black light, closet mirrored door and Pyromania album. Everything went great until....remember in the Cinderella video where the guitarist throws his guitar way up & it loops over his head & back around the other side?.... Well, I had forgot my bedroom ceilings were only 8 feet high.

My imaginary crowd of 75,000 was devastated.

Could you imagine the horror of that unfortunate incident if it had been on YouTube, played over and over and not just a one show occurrence

Dig this: The Cinderella moment actually occurred for me one miserable night on stage, and I have a scar to prove it.

My band was playing yet another tiny, sweaty shithole here in "not-so-good-old" South Florida, which featured the by now typical postage stamp sized stage. Nonetheless, one of our two guitarists insisted upon using his (at that time) new wireless gizmo. This piece of crap worked quite well, until he went into a solo and it started playing an AM radio station's broadcast of a Miami Heat game.

The thing is, he only wore the piece of shit so he could pull off that dumb as a box of hammers "fling the guitar around the neck/Ain't I bitchin' as all hell?" move. Unfortunately (for me), the nitwit decided to do the stunt as I was standing roughly a foot and a half behind him. One moment, I'm trying to get a fix on the bass drum, next thing I know I'm getting the fucking living bejesus slammed out of the side of my skull with the dim-bulb's guitar headstock. Somewhat dazed, I finished the set only to later discover what I thought was sweat was in fact blood dripping from a two inch gash in the side of my head, which required stitches.

Yep, guitar players are fucking boneheads. I'm only thankful that the bone in my head was stronger than the neck of some imbecile's shred-o-matic, Japanese knock off.

I dunno man, but it seems that not so long ago it was Sarge's stance not to be involved in that sort of way...

I don't believe this to be true. But then again, what do I know?

You lose a bit of freedom that you have as just a fan site, and you might feel some pressure to say this or do that...

Comes with the territory. However, the Army will never be as censored as most "official" sites. Ever.

I do think that it's pretty cool that the Army has been involved with DDE but is it really necessary ??

Here's the difference between what went on previously, and what is going on now. Somebody in the Van Halen camp finally realized the internet is a promotional tool to be used as their ally. I will never forget the time when Dave was shown the DDLR site on a laptop in the studio, and his EX-MANAGER said to Dave, "Do you want me to have it shut down?". Why the fuck would they want to shut down something that is PROMOTING them? The allowance of video camera's, audio devices and DSLR's into the shows on this tour is further proof as to how different the attitudes in that camp are now. I like their philosophy. Flood the internet with more stuff than people know what to do with, and ultimately they will be the ones making the money. Not the bootleggers or picture pirates. This is why the Army will NEVER be as censored as most "official" sites. Sarge wouldn't allow that, and in this day and age, it just isn't necessary. DDE and VH have realized this. I applaud them.

Let me guess.....it was the harecutt post critical of B Young's playing?
