Van Halen

[Fully]

That picture of DLR looking at himself in the mirror...I'd hit that if somebody would keep him from talking. Also, some of my best high school memories and a few that I'll never remember come from Van Halen at Municipal Auditorium in the early '80's. The highlight of the first time I saw them was Valerie "Hot Shit" Bertinelli being escorted by security to the soundboard to watch the show. This was before they got married. The second time I remember some strange silver lame chaps that DLR wore, and I don't really remember the last time I saw them. Pretty sure I became the naked guy at MSG sometime after Bachmann Turner Overdrive left the stage and before the third song of VH.  :embarassed:

I'd definently hit up a show if they were touring small clubs; this actually looks pretty awesome! (minus the guy filming it)

VAN HALEN CAFE WHA!!! You Really Got Me

Tracy- I've said it before several times, I think you and I would have gotten along famously back in the day.

I wouldn't picture Ruckus with a T topped Firebird. He would have gone full El Camino

Yeah, you're right.  We'd a just been fine rollin' in that El Camino with Tracy and Crispy in the back dropping smoove one liners to Fully in her Bachman Turner Overdrive jean shorts.

If it wasn't for DLR's face in the mirror, I'd have considered tapping She-Ra myself

Wow, not even 2 weeks into the year and the bar has been set high for an unbeatable post.

Glad to know that you're open to all experiences ;D ;D ;D

You gotta love that ticket price $ 9.50.  You can't even buy a pack of smokes in downtown Chicago for that price now.

Valerie Bertinelli was pretty friggin hot back in the day.  I would have to put her right up there with Kristy McNichol or Joanie from Happy Days :D

[Fully]

If I remember correctly, I paid $8.50 for tickets to my first VH show + the ticketmaster or whoever they were back then fee.  I remember being outraged at having to pay $13.00 for tickets to see Journey.

You forgot to mention that Valerie is a dead-ringer for Eddie.

She's also excellent at construction ;D

[mjk73]

Well, she certainly knows how to deal with wood.

Im gonna thread jack my own thread for a moment.

I'm going to set the stage for this.

Easter 1995 at my Gramma's house.  My aunt and uncle ( my uncles name is Dick, who is wearing some type  of strong cologne) and my 2 cousins, one is 5  months old.  We are all sitting around the table and my Aunt hands my Gramma my 5 month old cousin to hold while she says the blessing.  The next thing that comes out of her mouth causes the entire family to lock up in laughter.  She says the following with a smile " I smell Dick ".
AMEN

I am loving this thread.   :)

I'm guessing he was wearing musk.

Van Halen David Lee Roth Interview Wasted PT 2

[bluesky]

aren't most girls named Valerie kinda hot... ;) haha

[bold992006]

Van Hagar was beyond bad.   he turned a great rock band into a power ballad band.  I can and will never consider anyone but DLR real VH.  I can't wait to see this tour.  they were one of my favorite bands growing up until about 1986.

[Jaimoe]

Parts of 5150 and OU812 were pretty good. I like "5150" and "Mine All Mine" from those albums. However, I'm not sure why Sammy turned into a pussy when he signed up - and gradually pussified the band in the process. I mean, "Heavy Metal" from the soundtrack of the 1981 animated film rocks and his work in Montrose was solid. Some of his pre-Halen solo work is notable too.
