Re: Deluded fan gives Gene a gift LOL

Reminds me of that documentary from the 90s when the kid gave Paul a plaque at the convention and Paul just left it on the stage. Couldn’t even bother taking it backstage to throw away. I saw that doc recently. He did take it off stage, he just threw it right in the trash and the family walked by a...

Re: Van Halen @ Sydney, Australia 2013-04-20 (pro shot)

Itś is a little sad to see it was all over before Eddie`s passing already.

Wolfie overplays like a second rate Sheehan, Eddie`s tone is like he borrowed gear from a nu-metal band and Dave`s vocals are all over the place.

Animalize for 1984 Xmas present from my sister. Animalize was the biggest album Kiss ever had in all Nordic countries I believe, much bigger that anything from masked era.

Yeah was hooked on the first listen. They had a song on some movie soundtrack I got on a cheap, maybe Encino Man.

Took a few years to run into that cd second hand. Insanely good.

Re: Roth keeps trolling WOLF !!!

Why do so many ppl here believe that ADKOT was a good record... they had to go back to the 77 demos because Eddie couldn't write anymore, and the one new song that they did put out sucked donkey balls.

Re: Who likes VH II better than VH I?

Dance the Night Away and Beautiful Girls are the worst tunes of the Roth era VH
VH II is the worst album of Roth era VH, maybe even if ADKOT is included.
