Van Halen: proving that they were greatest, most ferocious rock band in the world right out of the stating gate:

When EVH's son Wolfgang came of age he wanted to ride daddy's coattails and become a member of one of the greatest hard rock bands ever. Now, being the one and only son of blueblooded rock royalty, and fortunate enough to have been born with a silver spoon in his mouth rather than one placed under his nostrils, all he had to do is say "when", and he was in. But there was just one small obstacle standing in the way of his becoming a permanent member of dad Ed's fearsome foursome: he was a fifth wheel; there was no room for him at all. Dad was both the band's lead and rythym guitarist; Alex, Ed's brother and Wolfie's uncle, was the band's drummer; and any one of half a dozen revolving door vocalists at any given time was its singer. So, what's a poor wannabe rock hero to do? I'll tell you how Eddie solved the problem for Junior... Bassists and drummers are a dime a dozen in rock 'n' roll; they're the two easiest positions to fill, and no one's really going to know, or care, if either, or both, are replaced for whatever reason. Lead guitarist and lead singer are a whole 'nother matter, however; they are virtually irreplaceable and people will take notice if either of them decides to take a hike. They don't refer to them as "front men" for nothing, you know. So the easiest solution to the Wolfie-wants-in dilemma? Simple: shitcan Mikey-boy. And so they did just that. Know how the poor bastard received the news of his firing? Did Eddie and Alex have the balls to tell him to his face? If not, did they at least have the decency to give him a phone call and break the news to him that way? The answer's "fuck no" to either. Mike found out by checking the band's website -- that's how the cowards Van Halen informed Anthony that he was fired, gutless bastards that the Dutchmen are. And to my way of thinking that's totally unforgivable; no ifs, ands or buts about it.

Yeah, the shitcanning of Michael Anthony in favor of chunky Junior was a true disgrace. The reason bruited about was that Eddie was pissed that Anthony would play with Hagar in his off-time: a lame excuse, IMO.
Apparently EVH became a big asshole over the last 30 years, probably due to his boringly predictable booze & drug addictions. Those addictions also transformed him from a musical genius into a godawful hack. The last VH album I bought was 5150, the first with Hagar: the mushy ballads, the mail-it-in guitar playing.....the handwriting was on the wall, and it would never be erased. Actually, I began to sense the disturbing indications of what was about to come with 1984: while some of the songs & solos were great, others were very mediocre (the inexplicably loved Panama, for example).

And here's the best VH video clip (and sexiest, I might add; nevermind "Hot For Teacher") you'll ever see. It, "Poundcake", also just happens to be one of my favorite cuts by the band.
btw -- Best use of a power drill you'll ever see too.

Doors Crystal Ship
"The Crystal Ship" Before you slip into unconsciousness I'd like to have another kiss Another flashing chance at bliss Another kiss, another kiss The days are bright and filled with pain Enclose me in your gentle rain The time you ran was too insane We'll meet again, we'll meet again Oh tell me where your freedom lies The streets are fields that never die Deliver me from reasons why You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly The crystal ship is being filled A thousand girls, a thousand thrills A million ways to spend your time When we get back, I'll drop a line Never tire of this one ... Cheers |

This is the end, beautiful friend This is the end, my only friend, the end Of our elaborate plans, the end Of everything that stands, the end No safety or surprise, the end I'll never look into your eyes, again... and these that you don't hear further on along in the song; and which are spoken, not sung: The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on He took a face from the ancient gallery And he walked on down the hall He went into the room where his sister lived, and then he He paid a visit to his brother, and then he He walked on down the hall, and then he He came to a door, and he looked inside "Father", "Yes, Son", "I want to kill you" "Mother, I want to fuck you"...
