    Went through a liver transplant. Spent 29 days at the hospital, 23 of them in my own room. My morning routine once I got that private space would be to struggle to get up, shower and shave and brush my teeth - learning to be human again. And I would blast this version of "Dreams" every morning. Sometimes watching the clip, sometimes just bringing my laptop into the bathroom, putting it on a sideboard with the volume all the way up. Having survived, getting back up, feeling the faith and confidence in both myself and the future, because THAT'S what dreams are made of... It's been five months. I am as good as new.

      He really is isn't he? Not only is he in the top five bassist in the world but he also has an amazing voice and to top it all off the guy is an absolute saint. During all the bullshit during both breakups of the band, Roth and Hagar. Michael Anthony chose to take the high road and not once said a negative thing about the Van Halen brothers. Not a negative thing about Roth either. He is a class act and an absolute wonderful soul. With all that being said. RIP Eddie. A musical genius. It was nice to read that him and Hagar were able to patch things up before he passed.

Leppard, thanks to the lyrical and musical genius of Steve 'The Riffmaster' Clark were massive in the US. Check out their Denver Colorado gig and watch in awe - Steve oozes 'real not manufactured' rock star cool.

The volume was so loud I could hear Sammy singing and Eddie's killer riffs. I asked Vincent the name of the band. I've been a Van Halen fan ever since.

      Van Halen, at least the Van Halen that *really* mattered, ended when Roth departed in '85.
      The Hagar era, and the post-Hagar era with that other guy from that other band, were an almost constant nightmare of lite-metal bushwa. I say "almost" because, even in their worst synthesizer-driven power ballads, even in their most tragic ersatz-U2 "saying something important" mode, you knew a guitar solo was eventually coming. And to be perfectly honest, I have yet to hear an EVH guitar solo that wasn't one of the coolest things i've ever heard.

    • @warptek
      @warptek 8 років тому +21

      rcvideoshooter I know he's known, I just meant that when people cite distinctive drummers you always hear the same list of names and hardly ever hear Alex's name on that list. Not making any allusions here but when your brother is Eddie Van Halen it's kinda difficult to shine through his brilliance.

    I wish these musicians never aged and they could be together making new music for us fans. The bands over time slowly disappear but the songs remain with us no matter what happens. The memories of these songs for us fans bring the smiles and happiness in these hard times. When these songs first came out the world was so much easier and not as miserable as it now. There wasn’t any virus that made us hibernate and be scared of. We are so lucky to have this band and many of those that bring the smiles to our faces. I wish VH could get back and these guys can see the smiles they put on our faces.
