  1. Has he started kissing every player on the mouth before games yet?
  2. I was like 8 or 9 when Van Halen and then David Lee Roth were on heavy rotation on MTV. I remember loving those 1984 songs and Roth's solo stuff. I even got his solo tape in my stocking for Christmas one year. I didn't get into the early VH stuff until I was in high school.
  3. Why did SHE get a theme song for Dawson's Creek???
  4. Crazy Town?
  5. Article on when they were discovered and signed. "Van Halen’s biggest issue was one that as a producer I feared I couldn’t fix. The truth was that Dave’s performance in Sunset Sound only raised my anxieties about his abilities. Some of his vocal performances, to be frank, just weren’t acceptable. To be sure, he was distinctive as a singer; his train-whistle screams were identifiable in a good way. But every time I heard him get pitchy or completely miss a note, I worried that the public was going to be turned off by this band because of his limitations." "They had a great big blackboard, like you’d have in a classroom, and we’d write these ideas down. At these rehearsals Dave would show me his lyrical ideas, things that became classics like “Atomic Punk” and “Ain’t Talkin’ ’Bout Love.” When we took breaks I’d talk at length with him. That’s when I came to appreciate his astounding intellect; he’d quote a line from Tom Sawyer and then a comic book. I still don’t know anybody who can keep those kinds of stream-of-consciousness raps going like he can. Captain Beefheart used to try to do that; all the guys around Frank Zappa thought they could do that. But Dave naturally is that way. His intelligence came through in his writing, too." https://www.lamag.com/culturefiles/van-halen-ted-templeman/?fbclid=IwAR0H6HmMPHdQ2vBKRYBeC9TT-K6J1ha-fCUS7A4ZpObDAoSLnt_rkjfkIYQ
  6. Butler needs to go full on Wade to get the Heat back in it and he decided to fall back last night for whatever reason.
  7. I think it's about time to lay him down in a bed of roses.
  8. I was 14 and remember exactly where I was when I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit for the first time and also what I did all day after KC died. Seems like y'all had a similar connection to VH's first record. I remember VH through MTV videos of 1984 and Van Hagar. I always wondered what kind of mega impact they had since they were just unlike anything in the 70s so I really appreciate y'alls stories on what it was like first hearing them and going to their shows. Very few artists seem to bring an entire generation together in mourning.
  9. I'm blasting their debut in the class I'm teaching right now fuck it.
  10. Throwing the vinyl on when I get home on full blast. Fuck.
  11. I will do my part on the 13th in Texas to vote off brand orange Mussolini out.
  12. Lol aw poor Belichick is pissed that a different qb got a favorable call.
  13. I wonder if the British can just burn down the White House again if they feel up to it?
  14. Actually no. Was working and listened to it. Watched the NFL games on Sunday.
  15. I did something similar last week. Watching football with that signal is awesome.
  16. QBing against Tech's vaunted defense is the barometer for success now?
  17. WHy would anyone start thread about something that absolutely would never happen? It's all relative apparently.
  18. The Big 12 is trash. Urban would never want to come to this shit conference.
  19. I couldn't stand Hereditary but loved Midsommar. Go figure. Maybe I'll watch Hereditary again to see if i was missing something.
  20. Time to masturbate.
  21. We are all in Ames right now.
  22. Definitely
  23. Yea isn't everyone sick and tired of talking about MJ? Fucking Last Dance had to get everyone all nostalgic and help continuously to bring up the damn debate.
  24. LeBron had to manufacture his. Jordan would have done the same thing in this era.
  25. IF LeBron had Phil Jackson or similar hall of fame coach, a stellar group around him, and a stellar front office he wouldn't have won a bunch of championships? How is that a bad take?
