I praise you for your optimism with Van Halen. This optimism seems to be
what is missing in this newsgroup.

I thought well what the fuck and bought it and went straight home. Now I'm pissed off because I've missed out the last ten or so years of some great music. I had almost forgotten Van Halen but Eruption bought that all back very fast. Fuck, EVH can wield his axe well. And the Cradle will Rock... is a masterpiece. Panama must be one of the best songs I've ever heard, it rocks!! And there was still more. Why cant this be Love is a killer and I really like Human Beings. I'm not too sure about Roth's two contributions at the end though.

The band he was from - Extreme - were huge fans of Queen ( EVH and Brian May are great friends BTW ) and from seeing them perform at the Freddy Mercury Tribute Concert, I know that Gary will take Van Halen to new heights.

Well, when you fire one of the greatest rockers of all time, what do
you expect? Sammy Hagar is/was Van Halen. I still can't believe
he's really gone. . . . It's unbafuckinlievable!
