File this one under, "duh." I don't know why the Van Halen brothers can be so fickle, but while they sat at home a decade ago, Michael Anthony was bored and wanted to make music. So he went on the road with former Van Halen frontman, Sammy Hagar for a little fun and music. It's sad [...]
Every year, people utilize technology to one-up last year's coolest and most over-the-top Christmas light displays on their property. 2009 is no different. Check out Christmas Lights Hero taking the music-controlled Christmas light display to a new level of power-billing inflating insanity. I like the "rotating" snow flake effects. View the the video below and the [...]
Back-to-back Van Halen posts today. It seems American Idol alum Carrie Underwood and David Cook did a cover of the Sammy Hagar-era tune, "Why Can't This Be Love?" for a recent broadcast special. Like the article says, a little common sense could have kept from wasting everyone's time. I'm sure that Hagar and Michael Anthony wouldn't [...]
Man, I'm just eating up this article which is a compilation of Eddie Van Halen talking about a lot of the famous Van Halen tracks from both the Roth and Hagar eras. I'd read some of the stories before, like the stuff about "Eruption" not even originally supposed to be on the first album. Some of [...]
Here's a nicely done quart-based screen saver for OS X that has nice little snowflakes tumbling down your monitor or monitors. You can adjust the speed and snowflake count. Additionally, you can customize the background color and add your own image, though I like the default red-striped look as it looks like a bit of wrapping [...]
Former Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello does some really cool things, techniques, etc. with his instrument and a combination of effects pedals. Morello makes a lot of noises out of his guitar that make it sound like a lot of non-guitar noises — which is part of the reason I enjoy his [...]
So I'm excited over a thin piece of plastic. No surprises to anyone who knows me. This one I knew was coming — just surprised it took so freaking long. I got an email today about pre-ordering Guitar Hero: Van Halen, though any self-respecting fanboy of either/or Van Halen and the Guitar Hero/Rock Band rhythm game [...]
The Fox show, "Glee" (Never have seen the show, though I've heard it has a decent following. I hate musicals, TV series or otherwise) covered the Van Halen "1984" album hit, "Jump." This just makes me cringe, especially the background chants of stuff like, "Jump! Jump!" Man, this makes my skin crawl. Yuck! David Lee Roth [...]
Howard Stern recently interviewed Van Halen's "5150" producer, Mick Jones. "5150" was the first Van Halen album when Sammy Hagar had joined the band. There's nothing shocking that comes out of the interview, but I found it interesting to find that Jones' major work on the album was working with Sammy Hagar. Supposedly, Eddie Van Halen [...]
