It took me FOREVER to figure out who that was and I made myself refrain from clicking to see the tags.

Ugh. Men shouldn’t wear manpris at all, much less cargo ones that tie at the bottom.

Saw them in ‘79 and ‘80 when they TRULY ROCKED !!! Eddie is still in good shape..too bad his son is a lard ass

Their music is good. Stands up to the test of time.

Too bad the band members don’t.

Only the Stones (my favorite!) can still kick ass at the age of 65+…

Ahhhhhhhhh, why is Eddie purposely trying to send me into a rage with those pants?

Be A, too bad they’d rather be dead.

I think at least two of them are. That’s how they got the idea to keep pretending Castro is alive. It it works for, Keith, why not the Commandante?

OK I seriously didn’t even think about the rest of the Stones, I was just remembering when Mick was bemoaning his impending old age.

Castro is a hoax. He never happened.

Maybe he’s being held at area 54 with the aliens?

He’s the Real Killer, too.

He’s freakin’ Eddie Van Halen!!! Off limits. Look at that jump and the on the knees back bend…I’m 31 and can’t do that shit.

Who let Mystery on stage.

Wow, he really can do magic.

I’d like to see David Blaine try to top that.

Although I bet david Blaine could hold his breath at this concert longer than anyone else, and I have to think that’s a relevant skill in a room full of … well, a room full of David Lee Roth.

Van Halen…what a goddamned shame. Makes me sick to my stomach a little. They could have been huge, instead of the jokes they have become.

oooohhh welcome back william

Okay, It took awhile to figure out who that was too. It went like this “Is that Lyle Lovett? No… Randy Travis… No Randy would never wear cargo capris… Oh its Eddie Van Halen….”

Now I’m going to be singing Panama all day. Van Halen was great and I’m only 27. Van Hagar however, was not.

I kind of thought they were huge for a decade or so.

Oh, and how come now matter how svelte and in shape an old man is, their skin always looks funny… You know like Iggy Pop’s.

Is Iggy or can I call him, Mr. Pop? Is that guys skin even attached to anything? I think it just hands on his bones.

I miss Winehouse.

I haven’t seen much of her bleeding or those funky ballet slippers. I think those slippers and Britney’s boots should hook up.

Orgy with Cameron Diaz’s teal metallic gladiator shoes.

It figures. Cameron is always playing around with Britneys sloppy seconds. Except in the case of Chris Angel. Woooo hooooo, revenge sex.

those pants make me stabby.

I agree–Eddie really should’ve kept his HAIR LONG–just so we’d all recognize him! I would LOVE to see VAN HALEN perform live…esp. to see his song WOLFGANG play guitar!

Why didn’t vh plan to tour the south?

Long hair = Old fashioned

Great photos. Keep’em coming.

Let’s see you get up there and perform what they still can very easily. Oh yes, the shoes outweigh the talent. Grow up.

Oh please.

Juju! You got a blog! Ohhh I’m so proud! (single tear) :)

ps I’m linking you on my blogroll. I still can’t link Mollygood because the shit I say on here would make my mother cry.

juju, oh my word, girl, I just checked out your blog, and you are a wondrous sight, my little yoga-loving friend.

*hugs*

Saw them Saturday night and it was an awesome show. Not everything revolves around looks, if you have ears that work you might see Van Halen differently. 2 hours of non-stop rock music, venue sold out, crowd on their feet the entire time even in the nosebleeds. It’s music, try enjoying it with your ears instead of judging with your eyes.

More dead rock crap. If it doesn’t piss off the powers-that-be, including authority figures, it sucks. Art is not a product for car commercials, it’s a persistent rash. It’s not about age, but wealth. R&R was a low brow and rebellious. This concert was about hedge funds, a personal Roth IRA and the Kelly Osbourne of bass guitar.
