Good Evening All-

Saw a Van Halen concert in 1986 just after David Lee Roth left the band and Sammy Hagar had joined. He was wearing an absurd tee-shirt with "Dave Who?" emblazoned on the chest. Even then I found it completely childish. I longed for David Lee Roth during that show.

Sammy Hagar is clearly competent, but he will never capture the magical showmanship of David Lee Roth.

In other excellent music news, Rob Halford has rejoined Judas Priest with tour dates being announced soon. These guys took the time to properly resolve their differences and you know Rob, Glenn Tipton, K.K. Downing, Ian Hill, and Scott Travis are going to seriously rock out.

What a fantastic nostalgia trip this upcoming summer might become. My (considerably) younger staff will never figure me out. Ha!

Thanks for the info B-Jays....and since we're talking the "old school", how about Bob Seger???? Any news on his whereabouts and uptoo's?

Usurper, maybe you'll find this "old school" music talk stimulating.

Rock-on Gentlemen :)
