'Van Halen Rising' Book Chat with Greg Renoff - Oct. 17th, 9pm ET
Yes, you are right. I would have said "Screams", but I have found some entries on the net where they were called "The Scream". Does not matter. Either way they fucking sucked.
some idiot had booked the new wave band "The Clocks" to open for them, and they had so much change thrown at them by the crowd that Heavy said he and the other local crew guys each had 50 bucks in change easy....the stage was ankle deep in trash and change, lol.
Ha ha - that's awesome. Those guys must have been shatting their new wave pants before they took the stage!
Von....you may not believe this but you are the reason I signed up here back in about 2001 or so.
Heavy died that year (or thereabouts), and for some reason I was doing a web search on him.
I found a post here at Roth Army where you were talking about him, and after looking around the forums, I realized I had found a new home on the internet.
Heavy was a great friend. Lotsa great stories to tell. I had some fun adventures with him.
Did you see the Black Sabbath concert at Henry Levitt Arena in November of 1980 on the Heaven & Hell tour? Heavy was there that night. That was the night when some idiot had booked the new wave band "The Clocks" to open for them, and they had so much change thrown at them by the crowd that Heavy said he and the other local crew guys each had 50 bucks in change easy....the stage was ankle deep in trash and change, lol.
Wow....I just did a web search....seems he died in February of 1999. I found this online memorial to him:
Wow dude. Thanks for posting that. I had no idea Heavy died. And at the age of 45. Just wow. He, along with VH of course, gave me my greatest rock and roll experience EVER. For some reason he liked Barrie and I. He probably knew we were crazy fuckers!
WOW! Awesome. I was going nuts trying to figure out what kind of goofy amy head that was. Mystery solved!
