Van Halen

I ran into a good friend of mine and he said he loved the blog, but I didn't post enough stuff about music...shit, I thought that's all I was doing. So, with that in mind...I interviewed Van HalenI in Kansas City on the 1984 tour. Well, actually, it was Micheal Anthony and Alex Van Halen who stopped by(Dave and Eddie must have been busy). The interview commenced at about 5:45 with Alex bringing a six pack of Schlitz Malt Liquor and Micheal hanging on to a fifth of Jack. I was at the top of my game back then, but I lost total control of the interview within 2 minutes. Man, were they hammered when it was over at 6:15 or so. Then they had to go play the show? Unbelievable! Sammy Hagar is one of the nicest, coolest guys in the business. He also has the whitest teeth I have ever seen. I have a collectable on my wall that features the autographed "Nine on a Ten Scale" with a picture that is framed. He has been in my collection since "Montrose" and when I told him that, he seemed genuinely humbled by it.
With that in mind...my 5 or 6 favorite Van Halen songs in somehwat of an order, but not really...

1. "Little Guitars" should be on every classic rock playlist
2. "Meanstreets" Eddie kicks ass on this
3. "Mine All Mine" from OU812 oww, man I would have love to have been there
4. "Light Up The Sky" why was this never played on the radio?
5. "Dreams" summer of 1986, how well i remember
6. "Ain't Talkin Bout Love" early days in radio..thought i was hot shit.
There ya go, thanks for taking our tour and please stop by again...
