    It's not a value judgement, just a personal opinion thing...but, god do I hate Van Halen. I really don't know if there is another band out there that leaves such a bad taste in my mouth. Between Eddie's whiny guitar solos and David Lee Roth's spandex I don't know which is worse. I've never understood how these guys have so many fans.

    Have to agree for the most part.

    They had a few good tunes in their early years (Hot For Teacher), but most of it makes me yawn while crap like "Jump" makes we wanna put a hatchet through the frickin' door. "Can you see me standing here I got my back against the record machine. Do you know what I mean?" Kill me now please.

    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    If you say the word 'gullible' very slowly it sounds just like oranges.

    The reason is simple, if you were in your late teens, early 20's from around 77 thru the
    80's, and went to parties and wanted to Rock, VH was on the nights playlist. The
    songs are fun, sex, drugs, rock'n roll, thats what they were about, and of course,
    we ate it up. And no player has been ripped off/copied more that EVH. Think it was
    all about massive dive bombs, two hand tapping, think again, check out "Spanish Fly"
    "Ice Cream Man" and "Little Guitars" for some of the best acoustic work ever put
    on tape. I'm convinced some form of VH will be out in 07, and trust me, there loyal
    fans will be out in force. How often do you get to see a living legend
