Can't help think that Croz is a bit of a dick.

never mind that DLR's version of "let's party" is pretty quantum…
This made me lol hard. :) Right on.

I was an editor on a reality show some years back where Sammy Hagar guested and I can say, based on the couple of hours of rushes I had to watch to get his guest appearance into shape, he’s a genuinely nice bro.

Cros is a lot of a dicki swear his niceness is just a myth propelled solely by his santa-beard these days

I do love this song, actually. It's more like decent Journey.

The Onion used the band as fodder for some seriously good yuks...

I'm no fan of Crosby, but everyone on twitter knows that if you ask his opinion on just about any musician that he doesn't personally know, you're gonna get some shit talking. It's the only reason anyone asks him these questions. He, as expected, took the bait. I think it's stupid to get mad at how his game works, even if I vehemently disagree with his dumb ass 99% of the time.

hey look i just enjoy openly hating him, it’s my right as an American

I love their music to this day but to a man all 3 are all monstrous assholes in their own magical ways. but i digresstell me more about how van hagar sounds like “decent” journey
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 15 October 2020 05:05 (three years ago) link
Just that song, maybe one or two others. Most of it sounds like crap Journey imo.

is Nash bad? never heard much about himhe didn't come off bad in Shakey which is where I learned the most about CSN

I think I mainly don't like him for talking shit abt Crazy Horse, but also always sleeping w/ people's wives
― error prone wolf syndicate (Hadrian VIII), Thursday, 15 October 2020 13:12 (three years ago) link
He was a steadfast friend for many years to Crosby when nobody else could handle the guy anymore, so I retract. I just think his music is boring.
― error prone wolf syndicate (Hadrian VIII), Thursday, 15 October 2020 13:15 (three years ago) link
The only thing I know about Nash is the Innocent Eyes video starring John Ritter, which is a stone classic.

I live close to that liquor store at Allen and Villa, and walked over last weekend. About a dozen people there, and someone left a Fender Squire (the type that sold for < $100 at Guitar Center) on the sidewalk where Eddie's "Van Halen" was written. Then I walked to the house and there were people there too.
― nickn, Thursday, 15 October 2020 16:48 (three years ago) link
Great piece. RIP Eddie.

Finally saw Van Halen at Staples Center in 2007 and it...wasn't amazing, thinking back. Still happy to have seen them in some capacity.
Fast forward to 2017, Metallica at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. They did a brief, "impromptu" cover of Running With The Devil which I found endearing.

my wife and I were visiting LA for a week in spring 15. Driving around listening to shitty LA rock radio, I kept hearing references to Van Halen playing the Sunset Strip… so we figured out that they were to play outside on the strip for the Fallon show the night before we were to go back to NYC. I had never seen any version of the band, so I really felt that we had to see this…my wife does not in fact like VH; she would have been psyched were it GnR or Poison or the Crue…but she was game. A fancy showrunner buddy we were visiting the night before called his pal at the Fallon show to get us some, ahem, elite access, which amounted to showing up to a tent a few blacks away three hours before VH was to hit; we were eventually herded with about 50 not important enough people some 200 yards from the stage, behind hundreds of people who had been waiting in line all day. Frankie Banali was waiting among us, so was Scott Ian, but he was spirited away, maybe to where someone like Dave Grohl would be, on a roof in an expensive chair getting a foot massage.
No beer, no refreshment, no nothing to take the edge off. VH didn't start playing when they were sposed to, so we had to be "entertained" by this bald warm-up guy who shouted like Kinison… it was very trying. 1 and half hour late, they hit the stage. And so this was the infamous incident in which DLR did a sword dance while the band was gearing up "panama," hit himself on the nose. started bleeding and abandoned ship during the solo, leaving the band to pedal around the "runnin' a little hot tonight" breakdown, Eddie skreeing and skrawing, for 10 minutes…
Then Roth returns and they start the song over…this destroyed any momentum for me, and they played like the state fair Roth era set. With "Ain't Talkin" launching, I said "fuck this," my wife said "and how," and we went to Chateau Marmont to meet up with Fact checkin' Cuz.
