My Kind of Music

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

If I were to describe my favorite kind of music, I would always say that Van Halen is my favorite kind of music. But, aren't they a band that plays music? Are they a kind of music? For me, Van Halen is and they are a genre unto themselves. While I ...

From a Recent Interview with EVH

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

As a long-suffering Van Halen fan, I've often expressed that I'd rather hear new music than see them in concert playing the same ol', same ol'. When they reunited with David Lee Roth, they basically said that they are not just getting together for the tour and they expect to ...

And the Cradle Will Rock…

Monday, May 19th, 2008

So, I sold my Van Halen tickets and opted to play poker instead. I'm glad I did because I won! It was a smaller than normal game with only 10 people and I walked away with about $130 profit. I don't think I've cashed in a home tourney in about ...

My Back’s Against the Record Machine

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Can't you see what I mean? The re-rescheduled Van Halen concert is this Thursday. When it was cancelled the 2nd time, I kind of figured that the whole tour would get canceled and I completely forgot about the show...until last week. I remember when the concert was originally announced. I was so ...

Van Halen Postponed Again

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Van Halen decided to take a week off because of Eddie's mystery illness and now they've decided to sit for a month. As of now, the tour will resume on April 19th. Originally, I was supposed to see them on March 9th. That was rescheduled for April 15th. Now, ...

I did get tickets to see Van Halen in Baltimore for Sunday, March 9th. On my way to work yesterday, I heard a report on the radio that there was a rumor that the remainder of the tour was going to be cancelled. The unnamed sources cited internal band conflicts, ...

Push Come to Shove

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

It looks like Van Halen is coming back to the area, so I'll have another chance to see them. They are coming to the 1st Mariner Arena (formerly known as the Baltimore Arena) on March 9th. This is good news for two reasons: The venue is relatively small and there are ...

And The Verizon Center Will Rock…Without Me

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

Tonight is the Van Halen concert at the Verizon Center in DC and I'm not going. I'm feeling a bit depressed about it. I couldn't even be impulsive and go if I wanted because it's sold out. I think a buddy of mine is going. I hope he is so ...

For Air Rushing Through

Saturday, October 13th, 2007

A little over fifteen years ago, Van Halen released the album titled "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge". If you create an acronym out of the album title, you'll get a crude four letter word, which I will not type because you're all smart enough to figure it out on your own. Two ...

Van Halen Set List

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

Some lucky guy got to see Van Halen rehearsing for the upcoming tour and posted a nice write up including the set list. In the press conference, Van Halen said that Wolfgang picked the 25 song set list. According to the guy, here's the set list (this is ...
