RIP Eddie Van Halen
I was like 8 or 9 when Van Halen and then David Lee Roth were on heavy rotation on MTV. I remember loving those 1984 songs and Roth's solo stuff. I even got his solo tape in my stocking for Christmas one year. I didn't get into the early VH stuff until I was in high school.

RIP Eddie Van Halen
Article on when they were discovered and signed. "Van Halen’s biggest issue was one that as a producer I feared I couldn’t fix. The truth was that Dave’s performance in Sunset Sound only raised my anxieties about his abilities. Some of his vocal performances, to be frank, just weren’t acceptable. To be sure, he was distinctive as a singer; his train-whistle screams were identifiable in a good way. But every time I heard him get pitchy or completely miss a note, I worried that the public was going to be turned off by this band because of his limitations." "They had a great big blackboard, like you’d have in a classroom, and we’d write these ideas down. At these rehearsals Dave would show me his lyrical ideas, things that became classics like “Atomic Punk” and “Ain’t Talkin’ ’Bout Love.” When we took breaks I’d talk at length with him. That’s when I came to appreciate his astounding intellect; he’d quote a line from Tom Sawyer and then a comic book. I still don’t know anybody who can keep those kinds of stream-of-consciousness raps going like he can. Captain Beefheart used to try to do that; all the guys around Frank Zappa thought they could do that. But Dave naturally is that way. His intelligence came through in his writing, too." https://www.lamag.com/culturefiles/van-halen-ted-templeman/?fbclid=IwAR0H6HmMPHdQ2vBKRYBeC9TT-K6J1ha-fCUS7A4ZpObDAoSLnt_rkjfkIYQ

Butler needs to go full on Wade to get the Heat back in it and he decided to fall back last night for whatever reason.

Is there a thread to talk about how much Bon Jovi sucks?
I think it's about time to lay him down in a bed of roses.

RIP Eddie Van Halen
I was 14 and remember exactly where I was when I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit for the first time and also what I did all day after KC died. Seems like y'all had a similar connection to VH's first record. I remember VH through MTV videos of 1984 and Van Hagar. I always wondered what kind of mega impact they had since they were just unlike anything in the 70s so I really appreciate y'alls stories on what it was like first hearing them and going to their shows. Very few artists seem to bring an entire generation together in mourning.

LeBron had to manufacture his. Jordan would have done the same thing in this era.

IF LeBron had Phil Jackson or similar hall of fame coach, a stellar group around him, and a stellar front office he wouldn't have won a bunch of championships? How is that a bad take?
