With all of the glossing of Van Halen I've been doing, it's been suggested that I swing blindly from EVH's nuts. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Eddie has *not* been the guy a lot of people think he is. He's had lots of isues over the years. read more ≫
What can I say? I got a chance to see my all-time favorite band. In a tiny room. With only 200 people. It was in essence a club gig. Van Halen took over Henson Studios in LA for a secret show. We weren't allowed to tell anyone why we were there, or what was going on. We just showed up and hung out. read more ≫
Anyone who's listened to me over the years already knows this. I don't talk about it very often here...but years ago, Zakk Wylde presented me with a set of Black Label Society Colors. It is one of my favorite keepsakes from my career. read more ≫
So...the war of words between Nikki Sixx & Sully apparently continues. I always laugh at people who like to poke fun at Sully's height. As if he doesn't know he's short. However, I guess Nikki doesn't feel like his band is getting enough attention for their residency in Vegas. read more ≫
Ok...so here's the thing...Whitesnake are an awesome band. They got caught up in the "image" thing in the mid-80's. And honestly, they are absolutely to blame for being labeled a "hair band." In fact...I think it's actually damaged their legacy overall. The older stuff with Mel Galley is great. read more ≫
So...I was watching that "Metal: Evolution" documentarythe other night. They were doing a segment on Rainbow, and I started to think about all the great players that went through the Deep Purple family tree. read more ≫
Another band that came near "the end" of the scene. No guy would *ever* admit to liking this band. And yet we went to the shows. Why? Because this..is a CHICK BAND!!! If you were there, you know. There were hot girls at Trixter shows. And of course, they couldn't *all* hook up with the band. read more ≫
This whole CD was awesome. Most people have forgotten this band. The only thing they seem to want to remember is "Tomorrow." But....there are a bunch of great songs on "Frogstomp." My favorite is the opener; "Israel's Son." This one got *some* airplay back in the day. You may remember it. read more ≫
