Just because they sold the records doesn't make them good. Who's to say there arent millions of people with horrible taste?

Besides they peaked like a million years ago.

Actually, it was a million and four-

prime example: Mikey Jackson

People also like the idea that they are into something that "everyone" is in to. It gives people's a sense of belonging.

Roy for ________.
- mhp

Roy and one of Grags/Weber for Clutterbuck

Never realized how high Rihanna is. Jesus.
- Travis Yost

There was a couple surprises in there.

They rocked in their day though. Eddie took guitar playing to a whole new level.

But who would we want from them?
- Purple Eagle

Not Saying we would be good partners, just know they are pissed.

Leino should just shoot it right at him next time

I really don't listen to Van Halen. I guess I'm right in doing so

they were great. You should listen just to expand your musical knowledge. Time has passed them by and 80 bucks a ticket is 79.99 to much.

I can't believe Zamfier and his magical pan flute was not on that list

Dude-
You've got your bloomers in a twist again. I was busting chops in the midst of a political argument.
Was just trying a diversion.
I don't care if they're 33 or 19.
I don't care if it's actual or estimated.
I don't care if Whitney Houston sold more songs, or albums or had more of her stuff pirated.
Their tickets for HSBC/ACC are sold out (xpt for the "stub hubs")

You missed the point of the original argument and you're still driving 55...down the wrong road.

Wrong.

Got your point but the facts you were using to try and prove your point were wrong and misleading.

- homiedclown

Nope.

Mine was 1984.

My 1st LP.

Despite it all, pretending to actually be one to waste my money on Time Warner Cable is hard.

I'd go to van Halen for a much lower price.

Van Halen isn't relavent anymore. They don't write new music. It's a bunch of old people and sorta old people grasping at their fading nostalgia in a confortable setting for way too much money.

Maybe they should do a reunion tour with the Eagles, the Stones, and Springsteen.

I've seen them and the problem is they'll never be like they were.

DLR is a disaster
Eddie is a waste case
Alex is well Alex.
Wolfgang isn't Michael Anthoney.
Sammy isn't there
Gary was the worst member ever.

it's not even that

some old artists are still great to see live

furthur
neil young
I guess metalica is old now
huey lewis and the news
elton john
alice cooper
john fogerty

but for every old descent act, there are 100 acts that should be playing at county fairs for free instead of charging $100 a ticket

my 2 cents

Maybe they should do a reunion tour with the Eagles, the Stones, and Springsteen.
- Purple Eagle

They've been there done that.

I said the same thing about them too.

I would pay $80 to see sammy and michael at a smaller venue

I would not pay $40 to see the new van halen lineup at any arena
