        Dude,

        Listen to albums 1-6 for a couple of weeks without listening to ANY Van Hagar whatsoever.

        Ater that listen to 5150, OU812, etc & decide for yourself. Let the music do the talking....

        These guys will win the war...
        "Honey, my shirt got itself torn up. My shirt tore itself on that stripper's hand, and I need it to be sewed up for the show."
        "No problem, Dave, no problem. Say hello to Fluffy."
        "Fuck you, Fluffy."
        "No, no, you're going to upset Fluffy."
        "I ain't saying hello to no stuffed bear."
        "You know, now that I think about it, it's going to take a little longer to sew up that shirt than I was thinking."
        "Hi Fluffy, how you been?"
        "Now that I'm thinking of it even more, it's going to take half the time, Double D, Diamond Dave! Would you hold Fluffy?"
        "N--- yeah."

          Going to see InHalen next week at my local with a GnR tribute band, apparently the InHalen drummer is the money - the guys on here said he played with The Atomic Punks in the USA who are revered as THE best VH band out there..

          I'll just go to the bar if InHalen play Spam songs..

          Roth on.
          Hey Sambo!

          Your going to see InHalen? Who the fuck are these guys? I'd love to check them out. Hopefully they don't do any, or much Van Hagar. I've never heard of them. I'm not aware of any VH cover bands over here, but I don't look that much these days either. And they're playing with a GnR tribute band too. Sounds killer!

              Hey mate! What's happening?

              www.inhalen.com (now a broken link). Sydney based tribute band playing Roth era songs only. The guys on here told me the drummer played a song or 2-3 with The Punks in the US and he was pretty damn good. I have not seen them yet.

              Next Friday Oct. 1st, should be great... and only 5 mins from home. :D

                  'Roth era songs only'

                  Fucking awesome!

                  As they are Sydney based, I'm sure Panamark will be able to check them out. Oh, would you mind telling them to get the fuck over here!!!

                  Need some cheering up. On top of the never-ending Van Hagar tour, fucking Port Adelaide made the Grand Final. Most of South Oz is pissed off.

                  Look forward to a report on the gig!

                    We definately need to know more about these guys. If they won't come over here, I'd be tempted to get over to Sydney or Melbourne for a weekend getaway and check them out.

                          Secrets is about as Ballady as we get
                          Don't forget, "I'll Wait" and " When Push Comes To Shove".

                          I'll Wait being the power ballad of the two.

                            I must be one of the few on this forum that have NEVER actually listened to any Sham Halen after "Dreams".I honestly have lived in a timewarp re:Van Halen since 1984.:D
