I'm a little confused by this quote:

“The Van Halens are watching from afar and if anything are just becoming aware that maybe he’s onto something,” Lee Roth said.

In the Rolling Stone interview Dave mentioned he talks to Alex "every day." If that's true, how could the Van Halen's be referred to as "just becoming aware?"

If this is legit, that God damn Buck Cherry better start thanking their lucky stars. They put out a powerful first CD and have followed it with shit ever since. An now they have a new one out whereby all of the songs are based on the seven sins. There's a page torn right from the Spinal Tap play book for ya.

I saw them a couple of years ago live in a pretty small packed sweaty venue under a railway bridge and they were good although a bit of a one hit wonder and as you say that hit is getting old.

Video isn't mine and crap sound but it sets the scene.






I'm not sure if they will translate well to a big stadium in daylight, very few bands do.

I had to laugh at a comment I just saw on YouTube

One week before Black Sabbath too - kewel...

Cheers everyone !

Well look who the Australian cat dragged in....

How you been Marky....

I really hope Daves voice is feeling better than a lot of nights last year.

Unfortunately, I don't think it was a matter of the voice "not feeling better"....

I simply think that it's nature taking its toll on a 58 year-old man, especially considering that he/they refused to step down the songs.....

They had mild success with "Crazy Bitch" 4 or 5 years ago, so they chased it with more filth on the next CD. "Too Drunk To Fuck" has got to be one of the worst songs ever written. They could've been like a slightly heavier version of the Black Crowes, instead they went the route of pure, ham-fisted sleaze & cheese.

The poor singer spent all his royalties on tattoos and now can't afford to eat...

A friend of mine saw them on a Crüe Fest tour a few years back. Said they played early in the day and there were lots of kids (were talking pre-teens here) who endured this guy screaming his banal minutia about the difficulties of being too inebriated to get it up. Awkward.
