Wow! Adam Gold has no clue what he's talking about. Sounds like he learned VH knowledge from MTV and/or classic radio stations. If u claim to be an "unquestionable" fan, all the idiosyncrisies of such a great musicians shouldn't be so "bothersom" to you. It's what makes a great band. The one thing that bands need to know about Nashville is that our Bridgestone Arena is the last place you should play. THE SOUND SUCKS. I won't pay to see another concert there. I've seen VanHalen 3 times(last time 15-18 yrs ago) and would love to see them again, just not at the arena.
I'd love to see STP again. Saw them at Starwood around 1997, didn't really know who they were. Incredible show, all around. I left the show a big fan. I found out later he was a heroin addict, somehow he was in total control of whatever it is he does on stage. From what I saw, he has a Jim Morrison-like stage presence. Rivoting
Re: “Van Halen to Play Bridgestone Arena April 27”
Oh yeah, Mr Gold, Are you insane?!! I had never heard the song "Humans Being" before and I thought it was really good. And i know you can't question my VH fan status. Saw them in '78 when they opened for Sabboth and had to perform a double header at the hands of a passed out no-show Ozzy. So, Mr. Gold, You need to work on your musical skills/knoledge or whatever it is you seem to lack, because this was a lame article.
