THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION IS ... Would Wolfgang Van Halen be even remotely popular, if Pops was still alive?

No. Wolfgang is an excellent musician, but outside of a few tunes his music is nothing special. It's the VH name which gets the attention and I suspect the clock is ticking on that.

Don't cry but this is a sad song..

Agree. I couldn't believe how crappy the movie was. The solo records weren't much better.

I was a huge Kiss fan starting with Kiss Alive and by 1977-78 the band was on top of the world.

Yet, by 1980 they had become a joke.

I read the book when it came out. I thought it was o.k. but the author was delusional. It was apparent Ace didn't think much about her Ace doesn't think much of anyone it seems. Or think much at all. Well, according to the author he cares a lot about his daughter. However, little the author wrote s...

I agree with those who feel you should replace him. You're 40 and in a band. You should be having fun. If you're not either quit or get a new bass player.

I can't buy "hard skool" on amazon, it's n nowhere to be found. is "absurd" a diferent cd? is "perhaps" only on vinyl? "the general" is much better i think. The band is run by Axl’s adopted Brazilian family so don’t expect to be able to buy their records like...

Would'n't say I'm glad but I was ...surprised.

Bought all the records released in the 70's Saw the Love Gun tour - 1977 at the Cow Palace in SF. During the 80's - I bought Creatures of the Night, Lick it up and Animalize. Saw the Creatures of the Night tour, Lick it Up tour and Crazy Nights (Budokan, Japan) Wanted to go to the 1996 reunion tour ...

Guess it's time for the band to return to Japan and make some money. Unfortunately, the exchange rate is Yen to USD is horrible. I’m glad I left the country in 2019. Had I stayed I would be earning very little today. Now, I like Japan and the J-people but basically, I lived there all those years......

Without Black Oak Arkansas there would be no David Lee Roth or Jackly! I'm exaggerating obviously but they certainly took a cue from singer Jim Dandy in his prime. https://www.masterguitarschool.com/post/jim-dandy-to-the-rescue Shit, sounds like DLR even copied his stage rap! https://youtu.be/TBnUC...

I feel sorry for anyone who has to deal with this delusional a-hole. Embarrassing. I don't feel sorry for the guy but why he insists on playing on music when he should be working in film or TV is beyond me. I just don’t get it. He’s got name recognition and he’s a decent actor. Yet, he continues to...

I wouldn't be surprised if Wolf has to spend his own (or his father's...) money to keep this band afloat. The novelty of being EVH son is over. And while I think Wolf is a very good musician his music is bland at best. At some point his lovely new bride is going to say enough is enough. Nothing wron...

I wonder how much the singer gets paid. He does a great job with the songs and Blotzer can't afford to lose him.

The below book mentions the Hot in the Shade tour was a disappointment despite Forever being a hit single.

Nothing like a complete fall from grace after reaching middle-age . Instaed of falling on the sword and (for the sake of his family) said, "I fucked up" and nothing more. Ellefson attempted to "explain" what happened when the world (or at least fans of the band ) didn't need an e...

Not the wannabe HBO channel, the band! Are they one of the most criminally underrated bands of the 1970s or were they just another shitty 70's band? I think those 4 studio albums are up there with the run of Aerosmith and Cheap Trick but what do I know? Discuss! Liked their first two records... but...

Stopping to help was a nice gesture and recording it was smart. But...the blind man immediately going 0 to 10 on the anger scale was strange. He could have said no I’m fine but instead starts yelling . Maybe he was having a bad day. But his anger seemed way out of proportion to what was going on.

Don't remember all the songs but I would remove the below from the list:

You Can't Do That
I'm Happy Just to Dance With You
Dizzy Miss Lizzy
Roll Over Beethoven
Everybody's Trying to be my Baby
Rock and Roll Music
Please Mister Postman
Mr. Moonlight
You Really Got a Hold on Me

Well, dying whale or not Vai certainly is a smart businessman.

In the US....Indian food. I've given up going to Indian restaurants. When I was living in Tokyo the Indian restaurants had Indian cooks. I love spicy curry and garlic nan. When I to Tokyo next year, I'll be sure to visit my favorite Indian restaurants. Love the Chinese food you get in Tokyo too.

IS THIS JETBOY Sorry to hear Billy Rowe left Jetboy but... I guess bills need to be paid. He probably earns a decent wage playing for Buckcherry. A number of years back Jetboy went to France and gigged for a month. However, the singer Micky Finn didn't go. The band used a different singer. I listen...

First album 5 million?.... "Under the Blade"?.... I guess you think "Stay Hungry" is the first album, don't you? Right. Stay Hungry. Dee wrote about attending a baseball incognito and hearing, "We're not going to take it" blasting on a kid’s radio. The older boy alongs...

I read the Dee autobiography. 1st record sells 5M. They recorded their second album, had a massive stage show/tour planned and the first single “Lead of the Pack” (Dee idea) tanks. "Be Chrool to Your Scuel" is the second single but MTV bans it. I could *kinda* get if a casual thought Stay...

I'd say Twisted Sister should towards the top of the list, they went from two massive hits to Dee Snider riding a ten speed to a minimum wage office job a few years later. They were probably not going to be much more than a two hit wonder but if they weren't so gimmicky, they probably could have a ...

:arrow: https://youtu.be/Uo3QeXqkQcU “Take a Bow” will likely appeal to Eddie Van Halen fans, as the track features a dramatic guitar solo that Wolfgang performed on his late father’s original Frankenstein guitar while playing it through the Van Halen legend’s Marshall head amp and cabinet. “It was...
