A History of Rock n' Roll in Film and Rock n' Roll

Van Halen #3 | "The Wild Life" (1984)


Listen Later

The Van Halen Summer continues! One more after this, I think. Maybe. Maybe just one more. 

In this one we gots:

  • Perspective on the Roth reuinion and Gary Cherone era from manager Ray Danniels
  •  A Hit Parader feature from 1984
  • More thoughts from bassist Michael Anthony
  • A Musician Magazine feature from 1984 on Eddie and Dave
  • An excerpt from David Lee Roth's "Crazy From The Heat" book
  • Some UK road stories from manager Noel Monk involving cheeseburgers, groupies, and having to take Dave's clothes off for him multiple times a night
  • Some tech talk about Eddie's endorsement history and the creation of the EVH guitars at Fender Musical Instrument Co
  • More chatting with my pal Eve Clarke about the 1st three Van Halen records
  • My real time reactions to Cameron Crowe's "The Wild Life" slowed down to unreal time so I sound as pilled-up as a Champion sweater after one wash n' dry cycle
