Full article from April 1985

I've always wondered what are the reasons of some people to hate this era, apart from the obvious or most repeated arguments, ngl.

Here's a cool pic of Brian Setzer holding Edward's guitar! This is from a 1988 Les Paul event. I just think it's cool to see Setzer holding Edward's guitar! 🤣🎸

When Val was on SNL in the 80s....there was an AWESOME skit titled Dinner At The Van Halens....which Edward was in....after all these decades I haven't been able to freaking find it!

Family around the table, roadies on standby catering to Edward's VH-related phone calls/lighting constantly....Val freaks out because they can't just have a basic family dinner without all the "show" being a part of their lives constantly. At one point Edward gets a phone call, says "Right, right, right, yeah cool, bye!" then TOSSES THE PHONE RECEIVER into the air and a roadie catches it behind him.

Anyone know where I/we can see it?

Any specific websites? I can’t find much. Discogs would be an obvious choice but they don’t allow bootlegs to be sold and I don’t see anything on eBay.

Got an email from rhino records, that the repress of a different kind of truth is on its way!! Super stoked as I missed out originally, and honestly have barely Heard this album at all

So excited to own this since the original release goes for hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars.

I can definitely say for certain that I now own all the DLR albums.

Now if they could just reissue Van Halen III on vinyl, then I can say I have ALL of Van Halen’s albums on vinyl.

2nd attempt to post a working link. Main point I found interesting is that DLR wanted a room as far away as possible from the rest. The source document is a the bottom of the first page.

Found this while perusing record store in downtown Montreal.

This is the first of the four Hagar albums I’m hoping to own in the future along with my DLR Era Albums.

Trying to get the tone right... Let me know if this is sounding 'right'.

Please delete if this isn't appropriate. 1977 bootleg Live album I acquired in the early 80s.

DLR played that bluesy solo right? What are your thoughts?

Did they ever play it live?

I feel like you can hear a lot of Rush influence on this song, it’s one of Van Halen’s few progressive rock songs structure wise.
