good ol' VH

I was in a Van Halen mood over the weekend and stumbled on this site with some great, albeit poor quality, old videos of them:

Check out Ice Cream Man for some serious David Lee stupidity and Hang Em High for speed rock. Michael Anthony is a great bassist and backup singer and Eddie is incredible. As much as DLR gets goofed on, the band is just so hot. There is a classic interview in Japan on the home page of the site, too.

Outside of his personality, Dave could belt out some hard rock, that's fa damn sure. That first album is some rrrraw shit..Atomic Punk!

I wish I had seen 'em back in the day. But I know every song of the Dave era cause they were all great tunes to drum to. Alex was never in danger of being overrated, but I don't think he's given his due as an influence on young drummers.
