So, I heard this morning that Diamond David Lee Roth had to cut his fall tour short because of an accident that happened when he tried to perform a 15th century samurai move with a prop sword. It seems he hit it on something and it bounced back in his face. Which brings me to a point.... he sucks. Now, don't get me wrong. I appreciated what he did with Van Halen and he introduced me to Steve Vai and all... but now??? Give it up dude. He was never that cool. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen him pick up a guitar, that arrogant asshole. Thats why I've always dug the Red Rockers stuff. He had a great career before Van Halen and when he joined Van Halen, they're still one of the best bands I've ever heard. They fused their two sounds together and (I thought) were unstoppable. It pissed me off when Sammy left, but he is still kickin' so much ass right now its crazy. I saw the Sammy and Dave concert last year and Sammy opened and completely ruled... Dave got out there and sounded like complete shit. All he does is run around jumping up and down like "look at me! look at me and how I can do the splits!" Sammy has at least always had substance and style. I mean look at him... he's as close to "rock star" image as you can get (other than Lenny Kravitz). That sums it up for me. Sammy rules and Dave doesn't. Rock on.
PS.... Summer Nights is one of the greatest songs ever written from the best Van Halen album ever, 5150.
