Saw Van Halen!

I took a couple of days off and drove to Atlanta to check out EVH. It was sooooo worth it! They were amazing! On top of there game for sure! And even lil Wolfie was great. That kid can sing!

Heres some pics. I'll post a few surprise shots of backstage gear and videos later! :)

Owwww sheeet I'm drooling

As a Long long time VH fan...............May God Bless You!!! Every time I see him and his son (I have a 10yr old son) I smile!!!

That drum kit is just..sick!

I wonder what he is using for gear these days. The big drum set is cool.

Sorry for the small pic, couldn't take a camera backstage. But I did take my phone! :)

They are proving the critics wrong for sure! I had my doubts when Tattoo waas first released, but its seriously been killer after that......

+1!


Would also love to see a closeup of the pedal board Eddie has there. Looks massive.


And I'm glad that David is keeping his **** together, so far. I would love to see them live again. Last time was around 1981.

His pedal board is actually pretty simple.

Dave? Eddie was drunk for most of his adult life. He can't remember entire tours. The last tour had to take a break (insert "Unchained" reference) because of his drinking.

Ed has been rocking that black "Hot-Rod" guitar a LOT recently, I'm kinda surprised to see him play a guitar with an ebony board since he's a maple guy at heart.

Glad to see they're in good form. Saw the VHII tour in '79. Intense, top of their game. Some good Youtubes of it out there.

I'm glad to see them back together and doing well. I saw them during their Women and Children tour, that was a mess. Diver Down was meh and I swore I'd wouldn't see them again. Then on the 1984 tour they played on my Birthday. Spicolli was my hero, I had to do it in checker board Vans. Aloha Mr. Hand

How cool would it be to be stepping on your pedal board, your name is EVH, and your pedals are MXR EVH editions, painted in your art work? Pretty damn cool I bet.
