BYH Just Had a Hot Flash

He's not the only one...

 

You got that right!

 

Horrendously misleading URL.

Sure, it's the first album for VH since the Clinton Administration, but the real news here is it's the first album with Roth since the first Reagan Administration. Think about it: The last time Roth sang with VH, Dusty Baker was just an aging outfielder with the Giants, not the bane of A_QB's existence!

This is also the first album with Wolfgang on bass since, umm, well, ever.

Whatever it is, I'm sure it's gonna suck. This, too, is why Kurt Cobain killed himself.

 

I don't know about that BYH. They're only missing Michael Anthony. Of course the biggest question mark is Roth and whether he is stable enough to see it through. And that's a big if.

 

Holy Christ. What's the average age of Van Halen? They're so old, someone's going to call Van Helsing to put a stake in them.

Dear bands of my youth ... stop making music. It almost uniformly sucks ass.

 

The average age is 46, which is pretty bad considering the bassist is 19.

 

Since many aging rockers are still touring in their 60s, VH's average age of 46 makes them kids.

 

I figured this thread was about this column...

No argument here. I love the Stones, but I don't want them making music either.

 

Just try and stop them:
