That's Cool with me. We all have a differant perspective. Edited to add: Just found this... http://www.vhnd.com/2012/05/18/van-halen-getting-along-fine-taking-a-break-and-planning-to-extend-tour/

If ya ask me the 5 year contract came up for renewal and terms and egos, taking credit for the reent success, reduced the Mighty Van Halen to ruins AGAIN. think about it they toured in 2007 and then threw this album together that isn't to bad but it is kinda thrown together old riffs reworked or finally recorded as I have read. PURE SPECULATION ON MY PART. Maybe Sammy Hagar isn't to busy. I didn't catch the tour and my budget thanks me. The new FB might not have been possible. Have not bought the new cd either. I kinda decided a while ago that they had gotten all the money I wanted to give them. I did however buy a $5 copy of Van Halen 2 about a week ago and have been digging that cd with total 1979 flashbacks and renewed interest in that set of songs. You're No Good. Oh the riffs!! Who knows when these cats will be able to get along. Gotta say that some of Dave's stage antjcs would get very old after to many nights. Check this vid of The Full Bug and watch Dave prance in front of Eddie. KAPOW!!! And I'm not even that kinda guy.

Sometimes it's minute to minute, sometimes day to to day. It's ok to get week to week too. Like the world, we move on, but can always return to remember. Never stay in that spot though to long, it will eat you up.

Yes Sir!

Brand new never been on a strap.

I sent a set of the Dunlop strap ends to you today to go with your buttons on the Hamers. They should be to you Wednesday. Get the son to help ya get them on a strap. DONT PINCH YOUR FINGER!!!!

Thanks gents. I like the way the light shows the other parts of the veneer in this shot.

Essie my '79 Sunburst as seen thru the new camera.

Pretty pretty pretty.

OH! OH! OH!

You got 6 months to save up to get to Chicago. That is if they let me play again this year. Thank you for the nice sentiments.

I play this pair regularly at Madison Square livingroom with abandon! Life IS Good! Live It Up!

Wait! There is an age limit on Vs? Bet Albert King and Lonnie Mack might have debated that? 51 years young over here and I dont have any decrease in my wanting to play Vectors and Standards and similar shaped guitars. YPGEMV!

Wow! Nashville has a pretty fearsome threesome now between Murkat, Tobe, and now Harry.

What an impact Dr. Marshall had on Rock and Roll! Over on the Duncan board, a member by the name of TC commented "He gave rock and roll a wallpaper and background, visually and sonically." total truth to that statement. R.I.P. Loudly!

Just heard that. Edited to add: Have not been able to confirm.

Birthday present? Nice guitar is understating it.

Buy the dvd.

First time September 1975 Columbus, Ohio. Last Time Tampa Last August. many good shows and a few meh shows. More good than bad for me at least. St. Paul in the October of '77 and October of '78 were wild shows. London in November of 1989 was FANTASTIC!!! Columbus, Ohio 2005

Those guys struggle with sobriety and anger/"domestic" type issues. I see they work hard at it too and I wish them nothing but well in doing so. They still swing really hard in the live arena when all are 100%. Seen them in Tampa last Summer and they were getting it done well. Cant wait to see them again. Next time is #55.

R.I.P.

Bump for the Daytona 500!!!! More Please!

I owned that one for a short while. Great guitar!

Thanks HHB!! Here is an old new shot of Whackhead a '77 Standard I am lucky to own. I'm gonna have to study on this question from the OP because the answer is complicated with flamey goodness.
