R.I.P. -- Andy Johns

Far less note of fellow Brit Baroness Thatcher, but condolences and prayers for Andy Johns’ loved ones and friends with his passing at the age of 61. Rock and roll lost a great one.

Johns, the younger brother of noted producer Glyn Johns and uncle to Ethan Johns, engineered some of the most beloved albums [...]

Van Halen. Its got what it takes…

“A little more volume in the headphones, please …”

Might as well start with my fave song of 2012, then get to the other goodies … and some of Threedonia’s faves in the comments.

Van Halen. Everybody’s looking for something…

From the album Balance, one of the best Van Halen albums evah…IMO.

One foot out the door …

If loving Hitler’s take on the Van Halen situation puts me in a comparative league with Chavez/Castro super-Spanglish-fan Ozzie Guillen, so be it.

Fair Warning…

The above photo, courtesy Grantland.com, is of a setlist Van Halen played in January 5 at a small New York City club called Cafe Wha? Here’s a report on it by Chuck Klosterman from Grantland called “The Incredibly, Insanely, Undeniably Awesome Return of Van Halen”:

Van Halen performed at Café Wha? last night. It’s [...]

Hall of Fame, Correct

Forget criticisms of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame today. Flawed selection system or not, they’ve actually gotten it right more than a few times and for that I’m thankful. Here’s a few favorites and a Happy Thanksgiving to all Threedonians who visit this little neck of the woods, nape of the neck …

Monday Night Mashup

What does Van Halen have to do with Double Dutch? Well there are two Van Halens….

III, it’s a magic number

Hot damn! Guess we’re getting a Chickenfoot tour sooner than later after all, new Chili Peppers album be damned. Though minus skins-master Chad Smith, fingers crossed Kenny Aronoff passes the audition. Suck it, Mellencamp! Hey, Sammy throws some barbs Eddie’s direction, and I have my targets, too.

As for naming their second album III, [...]

Summer, it’s like a merry-go-round

Billboard.com ran its list of Top 30 Summer Songs last month, and while it’s hard to argue with the multitude of Beach Boys on the list (it’s their list and all lists are subjective) — plus it’s always nice to see any list which includes Mungo Jerry — here, from the mind of Tonk, are [...]

Van Halen…I don’t want to hear what love can do

Sorry for those Van Halen aficionados, they cut Eddie’s guitar solo short.

One of the best music videos I have ever seen bar none.

A friend oonce told me that they played this over the loudspeakers when he was getting ready for his first jump at Airborne school.

Lord strike that poor boy down

Two aging rockers, an asshole, and pre-Jenny Craig Valerine Bertinelli set to manipulate fans into forgetting original bassist

Sometime, maybe 25 years ago, I would have gotten excited about Van Halen recording again with David Lee Roth. My rock and roll tastes took a decidedly wicked (and juvenile snickering) turn upon hearing [...]

Van Halen…when love walks in, it’s poundcake.

Sam He Am

No offense to Diamond Dave, but got a feeling Sammy’s autobiography will be just a little more entertaining.

Sammy Hagar is lending his signature voice to an autobiography. The rocker has signed with It Books to write a memoir. It’s due to be released in 2011. Hagar said Wednesday that he’s “been writing this [...]
