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.

Totally agree on Clapton. I’ve seen the Stones, The Who, VH, Metallica, and some really great bands; the most “awestruck” I’ve ever been at a concert was watching Eric Clapton going full guitar god mode on White Room.

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
Revolver
Girlfriend

Roth, much like Mick Jagger was far from a “great singer,” but he was a top notch showman and “it worked.” Supposedly the powers that be wanted to replace Roth with Hagar back in ‘77. I like both eras of VH. I never actually saw Roth. I saw Sammy VH about 6x. I was a big fan of both. Ed was able to be more creative with Sammy. And Ed became more pop oriented, but they still had plenty of rockers.

Yep. Seen the Stones multiple times. They are absolutely amazing live. It's an event. Seen Metallica up close. Scorpions. Skid Row, Warrant, Motley Crue. Back when you could go to a concert for like 20 bucks lol.

I never saw Clapton live. I would have loved it, tho.

I remember standing in line at Ticketmaster and getting two tickets for VH in like 1988 for $40. Entire Monsters of Rock show probably wasn’t more than $30. VH, (this might have been where I saw The Who? I know it was Alpine Valley which was also where I saw MOR). Metallica, Scorps. Great day.

Monsters of Rock 5/28/88 at Alpine Valley was Kingdom Come, Metallica, Dokken, Scorpions, and Van Halen. Still have the ticket stub. $27.50.

Don Dokken did NOT want to go on after Metallica. Smart man.

Agreed. I thought Dokken was fantastic, though!

Saw the Grateful Dead a couple times. Both times The New Riders of the Purple Sage opened. Both times, Marmaduke played some jams with the Dead.

First time was 1970 at the Coliseum on Wabash. We listened to Led Zeppelin on the ride to Chicago. My friend had just bought LZ 3.

The concert was pretty decent. Both Micky Hart and Pigpen performed.

Second time was at the Auditorium in 1971. Hart wasn't there and Pigpen was sick. It wasn't great. The New Riders were better.

My favorite recording of the early Dead is Live Dead. My favorite overall recording is Dead Ahead.

I am not big on their studio albums.

I saw the Dead also, but I seem to remember the concert being later than 1971 and I'm thinking that it was at Assembly Hall and not the Auditorium.
And as in an Asleep at the Wheel/Jimmy Buffett show, I do remember who I was with for both more than the music.

I'll say it. Springsteen shows were the best.

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.

I was barely even alive at the end of their heyday. They’ve always sounded dated and lame to me. There are other guys from that era who are guitar virtuosos who actually made more enduring music.

Anybody who thinks that makes me gay can, of course, suck my cock.
