Sadness All Around
I'm soooooooooo bummed about the latest info in the Van Halen saga. So a couple of months ago Van Halen announced they were regrouping with front man David Lee Roth. YAYYY!!! They gave bass guitar player Michael Anthony the boot and had hired Eddie Van Halen's 13 year old son, Wolfgang, for the job. Supposedly this kid is the shit. But then again, who wouldn't be with Eddie Van Halen as a mentor?
Now, the whole gig is in doubt as Eddie enters rehab. For what, we don't know. He's not even expected to appear Monday as Van Halen is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Strangely enough, Michael Anthony and the Red Rocker, Sammy Hagar- who used to front the band, ARE expected. WTF?
I was SOOOOOOOO excited about them getting back together because Craig agreed to go to their concert with me. Me and my sister went back in the early 90's and that was the best freakin concert I've ever been to, with the exception of Michael Jackson. Hey, don't knock him. He might be fucked up but that man KNOWS how to perform.
I've been to approximately 30 concerts. Foreigner, Journey, Sammy Hagar(with Van Halen and without), Ted Nugent, Loverboy (6 times), Van Halen, AC/DC, Def Lepard, Styx, Josh Groban, .38 Special, Toto, Joan Jett, Michael Jackson, Ty Herndon (four times), George Strait, Depeche Mode, Boston (their lead singer was found dead Friday), Pantera, Aerosmith... I can't think of any more.
A week from Monday I'm taking Ryan and my mom to the Josh Groban concert. I'm totally excited about that. This will be my 2nd JG concert and he puts on a pretty good show. I'll love going to this concert because I think it's cool that my mom and my daughter are going but I'd really love it if it was Van Halen instead. =(
