So you claim to be this great educator when it comes to

classic Van Halen, and yet your own children don't know who

they are?

THey know who they are to hear, because Dad is always blasting something, but just like religion, I don't push my likes & dislikes on my kids.

I let them make choices for themselves. THe 8 & 9 year olds like to here RWTD, but there is no other form of VH stimulant for them in their daily life.

Radio, MYV, Nick, Disney, etc...

Eddie Van Halen isn't as young as he used to be but he still rocks like it was yesterday as he's approaching 50. He is one of the last great important & unfluential guitarist in rock of the 70's with few equals. Steve Vai & Joe Satriani are great rock guitarists in their own right from the 80's but their impact is only minimal compared to Eddie. There will never be another rock guitarist like EVH with his signature tune Eruption which has never been surpassed since the Van Halen explosion of 78.

Do you get some kind of royalty for every pointless thread you start?

"Eddie is still good," "Eddie isn't a washed-up wino," "Wah wah fucking wah."

Mouthbreathing douchebag...

They'll come around when they get older anyway.

I knew your answer would include the I let them make their own

choices bit, and hey I agree. I just find it hard to believe that

a 15 and a 16 year old, being raised by such a fan of

classic Van Halen, someone with such knowledge ,and the skills to

educate others on the subject, would have no idea of who

classic Van Halen were.

You would be surprised at what you find at my household, If I had it my way, I would have all my old promo items in a shrine, but I have a wife that doesn't care one bit for any of it, so for many years I listened in private, and lived the suburban life. Soccer, Karate, etc.....

Then I started reading these sites again and seeing all the junk facts being push off, and I got involved in hunting down some guy who released some old un circulated recordings i had let him hear, and it bacame posting and all the rest.

So to answer your question, I have 18K CD's in my collection, and these days you would hear James Taylor before VH. I never professed to the kids about anything I know. They have no idea what my younger life.

gee, this sounds familiar.

AJ Richitti, king of all losers, queen of all bullshitters, getting slammed in here yet again for his "edward is god" crap.

We chased this fucktard off the wall a year ago after he claimed to know evh personally, and had a project / website going with Robin Trower.

the guy's a fuckstick.

I will kick Ed's ass from here to fuckin' China, and BACK!! Shit, I might not even have to if Wolfie's already doin' it for me... I can play "Unchained" correctly, and "Hot for Teacher" which I think Ed forgot even exists, considering he hasn't played it in a million years... what a fucking loser, and what a Goddamn DISGRACE Ed's become... BTW -Why live at home with mom, when YOUR mom's MORE than accomidating? My mother can go fuck herself, and so can you, fuckin' asshole.

Scotty, "The Body" Ventura.... in the house!!!!

[Fabulous Shadow]

I don't care if he's got it any more or not! At least he HAD it... How many of you can say THAT! What he HAD has him set for life! This concert is nothing more than a pity party for the fans to shut 1/2 of un the fuck up... The rest of um, the Dave fans... well ya know... Maybe next year...

[DLRdelight!]

Ed is a very talented guitarist, and even though his best days are decades behind him, there is no denying that he was one of the greatest inovaters in the world and the most talented
