The death of a former rock star

I'm speechless.

DLR

That was painful. Really, physically.

Time is a bitch.

My...how the mighty have fallen...

I remember watching that on Leno, thinking it was a joke.

I never liked the guy's music, but this is really bad.

I thought you seriously meant he had died!
I seriously was expecting too see an object fall from the sky and hit him or something!
Well, that just sums up how dumb I am, but now I understand the real meaning off that video, I think im going too be crying tears off blood and sorrow for the rest off my life.

The funniest part is when Leno has trouble thanking his guests because he's trying not to laugh.

By the way, speaking of rock star, I love your new avatar, JL. I've been meaning to tell you in the fantasy threads, but then I get sidetracked and forget. I LOVE Dave Gahan, what a sexy voice.

Wow. Someone knows what my avatar is.

I think Eddie Van Halen is having the last laugh on this one.

It's been a long time since I've seen DLR. Wow!!! Not only does he look different, he sure sounds different. Did heleave VH for a solo career btw?

I never was a huge Van Halen fan, but I liked them. As far as DLR, I really liked his solo's Just a Gigilo and of course "California Girls", which is a decent remake.

I really cannot stand Van Halen, at all. It just reminds me how much I absolutely hate the music industry.

"Hey, guys, I bet if we all wear funny clothes, and have a gimmick, people will buy our music, despite the fact that it's bloody horrible!"

Meh. I hope he literally dies.

Don't you remember him being on The Sopranos last season? Does that jolt any memories? I laughed histerically when he showed up.

Word.

Oh yea!!!!! I forgot. I don't think I realized it was him, until someobdy posted it after it aired. How the get did he get the role I wonder?

Van Halen were great...but DLR after...not so much.

And even if you don't like Van Halen...no one can deny Eddie Van Halen's talent on the guitar.

I didn't mind the Sammy Hagar years too much. Wasn't quite up to snuff with the DLR years...but it was alright.

I guess Eddie had talent... I just don't like his style. The 80s were one big mess, musically speaking. A good act was rare, and the rape of the ear was abundant.

The Cure
The Smiths
The Clash
Sonic Youth
REM

80s music kicked ass.

Far from awesome. Music's second to worse decade, the worst being the current one, so far. There were good acts, but I said they were rare.

So, you're just going to have to deal with it, Mr. Man.

Those 5 bands I listed are pretty fucking amazing, you have to admit.

I didn't say they weren't; I love them all, and as you know, I am a huge fan of Sonic Youth. But, still. The 80s sucked for the most part. 90% of the music was horrible. I hate having to grow up now, in a time where the music sucks, and I would have hated to grow up in the 80s.

"I wish it was the 60s, I wish we could be happy, I wish..."
