Its funny you should post this, only last night was I enjoying Live: Right Here Right Now. I originally didn't like the vid for its chops and changes between two nights of filming but the performance is fantastic regardless, they were fantastic showmen, and I appreciate it more and more every time I play it. So I agree, Van Halen has done its bit for rock and roll, sure, you can't take that away from them. I've said my piece re not caring about the situation anymore so I won't do that again.

Are you a Roth era fan? Because I thought Van Hagar got better as the albums went on. You stated they got stale, I thought they got better. Alex moved away from those shite sounding electric drums, Eddie got more crunch in his riffs and they incorporated more piano and accoustics. I rate it highly, I was hanging out for a sequel to Balance because that album blew my head right off! I had to sit down and recouperate after tracks 1, 2 and 3 before I could go on with the rest of the album.

Anyway, its all bollocks and I'm off to get pissed caus' its Friday. Have a good weekend all.

Cheers and beers
