After going back and forth about going to LA to see Oasis, I didn't pull it off. Thinking it over, should have gone. Tickets - not great but to get inside what really was less a concert and more an event, could be had for 250 or so at the Rose Bowl. And while they aren't the same young punks of the early 90's, Noel Gallagher is still rocking very hard, Liam seems to be in good voice, and the band was basically the brothers, and even Bonehead is on this tour, Archer and Bell were in the band longer than Guigsy.

I guess it's been fairly difficult to get tickets to the recently announced Rush tour, even with the added shows, and 300 seems to be the minimum buyin. For no Neal Peart - but Geddy seems very enthusiastic about the shows so it will probably be a banger, but I'm not gonna travel for it.

The nostalgia acts really are in full flight though. A small bar (think.. Mabel's on Green) near us has the following acts/prices booked.

BOC - 166 (no word on if there will be More Cowbell)
ZZ Top - 266
Wang Chung - 57
Jefferson Starship - 92
Erasure - 97
Flock of Seagulls - 52
Marshall Tucker Band - code locked for members, will probably be 200

BOC still has the 2 main dudes, ZZ Top is 2/3rd with us, don't know much nor care about the others - Jefferson Starship, who even knows who is in that band. I think Erasure is just one guy. It's really sort of sad.

I'm gonna see It's Murph in Seattle on the 25th after the game

You going? We're still waffling. I want to go, kid is a little burned out of college visits which was my key leverage.
Maybe I make a solo trip and I drink you into the ground.

Says the guy who probably has Jason Aldean cranked up to 9.

I’ll admit their music sounds pretty dated, but was great stuff in its day.

There's all kinds of isolated EVH guitar tracks on YT, which shows his greatness. Now, I'm starting to see some isolated Alex drum tracks which are quite good. Ed gets most of the glory, but that was a team effort for sure - every part was necessary.

This is the only correct take.

If Custard was in high school or college during the Van Halen heydays from 77-85, and he said "Van Halen Sucks", he would have gotten his ass beat in, rightfully so.

Presumably he was a Wham! fan.

It's not really a take. I just like them. I like their sound. Eddie was amazing, and they just worked.

The David Lee Roth/Sammy Hagar stuff, to me, was always secondary. It didn't matter who was doing vocals with those guys. As long as Eddie was playing, it worked. They're not my favorite, but they were always up there. They absolutely do not suck. If someone says they suck, they're fucking gay.

Yes. I said it.

Eric Clapton, by many accounts, is an absolute horrible person. Complete asshole, piece of shit.

But he can play. I could watch that dude play guitar nonstop for hours.

The guy on Jethro Tull said he wanted to be the best at something. He was playing guitar, then he heard about what Clapton was doing. He was like, fuck that. I can't do that. So, he played that flute thing. And became the best at that.

Yes. I said it.

Agree, but I think Roth is underrated. The vocal on Running with the Devil for example I think it just works - along with Michael Anthony's harmony. I think the Hagar stuff is good too, but it's more anthemic arena rock whereas the Roth stuff was just flat out rock n roll (I think 1984 sort of lost the plot but is still great).

Albums that I would take to a desert island.
Van Halen I
Moving Pictures
Joshua Tree
(What's the Story) Morning Glory (shoot me - I like it better than Definitely Maybe except Cigarettes and Alcohol).
Led Zeppelin's 4th
Who's Next

We saw him at Alpine when I was at UIUC. Unreal. Just imagine he was doing double bill with Stevie Ray Vaughn (that wasn't the Alpine show I attended, I was there in 1988). SRV was just insane to watch, seeing him at Foellinger in 1986 was a real treat.
