Van Halen #3 | "The Wild Life" (1984)

A History of Rock n' Roll in Film and Rock n' Roll

The Van Halen Summer continues! One more after this, I think. Maybe. Maybe just one more.

In this one we gots:

• Perspective on the Roth reuinion and Gary Cherone era from manager Ray Danniels
• A Hit Parader feature from 1984
• More thoughts from bassist Michael Anthony
• A Musician Magazine feature from 1984 on Eddie and Dave
• An excerpt from David Lee Roth's "Crazy From The Heat" book
• Some UK road stories from manager Noel Monk involving cheeseburgers, groupies, and having to take Dave's clothes off for him multiple times a night
• Some tech talk about Eddie's endorsement history and the creation of the EVH guitars at Fender Musical Instrument Co
• More chatting with my pal Eve Clarke about the 1st three Van Halen records
• My real time reactions to Cameron Crowe's "The Wild Life" slowed down to unreal time so I sound as pilled-up as a Champion sweater after one wash n' dry cycle
