That Aud Smell Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 I don't have much to say on this one. If you grew up in the 70s/80s, there wasn't really anyone cooler than that guy. Shred in power, sir. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 "Jump" was, by far, the best entrance song the Winnipeg Jets have ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Naughton Jr Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Holy *****. Crazy thing is I wore my Van Halen tee shirt today. I was raised on Van Halen, AC/DC, Motley Crue, etc. RIP to the greatest guitarist of all time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cascade Youth Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 I was hanging by a thread with 2020 but then Rick Moranis got sucker-punched and now this. Worst year ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted October 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 I have regularly teased my wife that I'd like the recessional of my funeral mass to be this song - LOUD. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then there’s Diamond Dave, doing a bizarre striptease act in the middle of EVH’s insane shredding. One of the craziest pairings in music history. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilbert11 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 My daughter just got married 2 weeks ago. For our father/daughter dance, she selected Jump. It was a lot more fun than a slow dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Balls Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 His work on Fair Warning is what influenced me to start playing guitar. He was ahead of his time mastering the hammer-on unlike no other. 1 hour ago, inkman said: And coincidentally my least favorite VH song.

Weave Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Sucks. Losing more and more performers that were influential to me. And more quickly too. Getting old too fast. VH sent me down the path as a fan of rock/metal. First band I really went nuts over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Balls Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) Pretty cool video of the VH sound check from Silver Stadium in Rochester back in 86. The one and only time I saw them live. BTO and Kim Mitchell opened up for them. I had forgotten about Sammy climbing the scaffolding to the top.....without safety equipment. Maybe because it was the one and only time I tried shrooms. Edited October 6, 2020 by Claude Balls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
