David Crosby is the kind of person that always shows up when there is some good stash to be had but never brings anything himself. No even an Orange Crush.
How many times. (Statement, not a question)
Actually they had a huge falling out some time ago.
A side note - Les Paul was a close family friend of Steve Miller (Fly Like an Eagle and a ton of other hits), his godfather if you will. Miller’s parents were best man and matron of honor at Les Paul’s wedding. He obviously had a big effect on Miller’s career.
“If a tree falls in a forest with no one nearby, does it make any noise”? is a question sometimes discussed, usually late in a college drinking session. The answer is quite simple: it depends on the definition of words. The tree clearly makes vibrations in the air - sound waves. Are those sound waves ‘noise’? It’s all in your definition of ‘noise’. If your definition of ‘noise’ is something that most humans dislike, it makes none, for no one is nearby.
Van Halen certainly made sound waves. Many people like those sound waves, and call them music. I call them ‘noise’. Fortunately, I’m not required to hear them.
Pat Boone, as you probably know, did a heavy metal album years ago. He clearly did his homework and is too much of a class act to be as dumb as Crosby.
Thanks appreciate your take. We all like different styles and I’ll give another listen to EVH. Have to admit I followed the rest more than him and the band.
Offered in the true spirit of FR commentary and sharing
I have to give you a round of applause for that.
David Crosby has always been a sanctimonious ass.
End of story.
Nearly so.....Crosby should “ go ahead and JUMP!”
David Crosby’s dead liver or his stolen one? LOL. Maybe both and they could fight with each other!
Crosby always reminds me of that nasty azz Ron Jeremy...
Crosby is nothing w/o Stills, and Nash and often Young. He never did much on his own, it was the group that will be remembered, not him individually.
Yep, music is their business and they were successful. Politics is not their specialty and I prefer that they leave it out of their concert speeches. In a free country they should sing about whatever they want.
Clark and Parsons both super talented but with king sized demons
Seems so common amongst the creative
Did you know that Jeremy may be spending the rest of his pathetic life in jail?
Exactly.
Exactly.
If only Ted Templeman could've overseen the mixing of Van Hagar's tracks, their songs/records would've been bigger hits!
Thanks for the story about Ted.. Interesting! Van Hagar's songs sound as though one microphone was used for the entire band as they recorded their tracks in studio whereas the FIRST FIVE Van Halen records seem to have employed the Phil Spector "wall of sound" technique.
It’s amazing how Crosby managed to alienate everyone who has known him. Talent. Although I suspect that drugs and alcohol gave his natural ability a boost.
He wrote and sang this song on one of the Byrds albums. He didn't lack talent, he's just a jerk.
