Analogman Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 He has a flair for writing - I'd say. The bit at the end about the MTV reunion and greatest hits album is funny as hell. "We're fucking going to have straight fucking lyrics that any fucking person can sing." as an example Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 I don't recall any of that stuff -- it's possible the first edition came out before all that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Oh really - mine is hardback - I paid 3 bucks for it at Walden Books. I think it was around Christmas time - although I don't know what year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Campaigner Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 He has a flair for writing - I'd say. The bit at the end about the MTV reunion and greatest hits album is funny as hell. "We're fucking going to have straight fucking lyrics that any fucking person can sing." as an example "mmm, spice huh? I'm the rice" Love it how he devotes a whole chapter (albeit a chapter that's only half a page long) to detailing what was on tv when he got his first bj. Any other rock star and it would just be a complete waste of time, but Dave just throws it out there as an aside, or an fyi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I can take or leave Van Halen - they just don't churn enough for me. But here is a true story. The year? 1984 A.D. I was hanging out in the designated area outside my high school's cafeteria where kids could play hackey sack and smoke Marlboros. This kid Jeff has a magic marker and starts drawing the VH petroglyph on the wall. UNbeknownst to him, assistant principal Ted Peterson had come around the corner as soon as Jeff started drawing. Mr. Peterson, a man of no small wit, came up behind Jeff and watched him finish his graffittus. As soon as Jeff finished his sentiment, which was, "Van Halen fucking rules!" Mr. Peterson said, "Do they really, Jeff. Let's go talk about it in my office." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 Could beThat didn't mention the band reuniting.Eddie's has to be the the most badass looking guitar ever. Is there really any competition? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 He has never impressed me all that much - he is flash. That sory is a sign he is doing better and that is what is thought to be the cause of the tour being put on hold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
