I like that these days you have more ‘healthy’ models who actually eat well and exercise and therefore represent a good role model, eg miranda Kerr and giselle bunchen.
this is so 80's in such a perfect way. i could listen to this on loop for days. and yes, Cuckoo brought me here too - it's like the movie was the sentence, and this was the perfect punctuation.
I Love Malcolm but he's full of s*** Glen and Paul actually could play as has already been referenced by other professional musicians. Paul was always a great drummer. Glen was always a tight bassist. Steve eventually got better and turnes into a cool guitarist. Lydon was, well, just Lydon. Also Malcom never formed the band. They formed themselves independently of him but he certainly mananged them and used his shop as a base for his operations.
Van Halen's early years with David Lee Roth marked Eddie Van Halen's peak of creative brilliance. Roth's dynamic and charismatic presence energized performances, though his lyrical and vocal contributions were seen as average. In the Sammy Hagar era, Eddie's artistic maturity brought a new sound to the band. Hagar's superior vocal and lyrical skills enhanced this evolution, contributing to a refreshed musical direction. The change in lead singers effectively created two distinct phases of Van Halen. While it may seem simplistic to attribute this to the vocalist swap, it undeniably transformed the band's identity. Both eras are celebrated, with some fans favoring the raw energy of the Roth years (VH1) and others preferring the polished sound of the Hagar period (VH2). Ultimately, preference for either era reflects individual tastes in sound and artistic vision. Neither are wrong. I prefer VH1 🎉🎉🎉❤
Sammy may be superior in some ways vocally but his lyrics are shit. Dave had some of the more thoughtful and deceptively intelligent lyrics in music as well as some sophomoric ones. If anything Eddie changed as he matured. "1984" is when you can really hear a difference. The Dave era stuff is just better in my book as well. They were young and hungry and Ed just plays differently with Dave. First 4 (maybe 5) albums are untouchable.
I remember one night I was in New York City. I was just wandering in Soho, probably a Friday night I think. And I was looking at the restaurants, people eating in the restaurants, having dinner. Those posh restaurants in Soho. And as I was walking by a restaurant, I looked inside. Guess who I saw? Malcolm McLaren. Malcolm McLaren. I remember standing there, looking at him and saying, Damn, that's Malcolm McLaren. That's Malcolm McLaren. Shook my head, thinking, this guy used to be a punk. And there he is, sitting in a posh restaurant, having dinner. Having dinner. It must have been maybe 1991, probably 1990. Around there. And then a few years later, I heard he was dead.
Considering this was originally the theme to Straight to Hell, and then later used in Cuckoo, I can only assume the director of Cuckoo has seen Straight to Hell.
I watched this movie thinking 'this young woman is an amazing actor', did some digging afterwards to find out more about her and I was right: she's an amazing actor.
There's some tension here between Ed and Sammy.But 7 years will do that.And it got a lot worse after this.Probably because Ed was a drunken saylor and Sam was straight.
He didn't invent tapping he perfected it. Steve Hackett did it and Ed got it from a local guitar teacher in Pasadena. Every guitar player takes from other players, its what you do with it that count's.
This album came out in June 1991 the debut to pound cake came on mtv the day I got back from Myrtle beach after I graduated high school. Good times. This was a good interview. Bob did a good job with the questions and it’s so good to see them happy and getting along. RIP Edward! Thanks for all the music and the soundtrack to my youth!
I love when Kelly's guitar string snapped and you can see her crack up a smile as she tries to play at a different pitch to compensate Bad luck but it happens sometimes lol
