Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love

I finally understood – only just today – what people see in Van Halen. I mean, they’re no Judas Priest, but then, they’re also all so very painfully straight, despite the pirate pants. Or rather, maybe it’s that I today realized how Eddie Van Halen can actually, truly rock, so I guess it’s good they named the band after him. Ideally, if I could listen and filter out all the David Lee Roth or the Sammy Hagar, then I would feel like I could like Van Halen, and I wouldn’t be disappointing Henry Rollins so.

They’re still no Judas Priest, though.


But then, not just anybody can be Rob Halford.
