It's been a day filled with EVH

Shannon · 04-01-2006, 02:10 AM

Ya ever had one of those days when you are just completely absorbed with a particular band or player? Today, I was all about Mr. Edward Van Halen.

I started out the morning by checking out the Mean Street Guitars (company who makes EVH-style Frankenstrat guitars) website. I'm jonesing so bad for one of those. As some of you know, I've been planning to buy a 7-string strat & give it the EVH 5150 treatment. From there, I checked out all the videos on The Atomic Punks (the ultimate VH DLR-era Tribute band) website. I totally plan on checking them out the next time they roll through my town. Next, I cranked up all my DLR-era VH CDs loud and proud.

From there, I took a break to get some Mongolian Beef at the local Teriyaki joint, then I had to stop by the store to buy myself a case of Sam Adams Boston Lager. Tasty stuff!

After I got back home, I cranked up the DLR-era VH again. Popped open my 1st beer too. Changed my strings on the 007 Elite to get ready for tomorrow's show & prepared the OLP Petrucci to send out to the new owner. I then tuned my 007 Elite to Eb & proceeded to play along to all my favorite VH classics.

Now, I'm 3 beers in. Fair Warning just finished & now Diver Down is cranked! Well, I gotta go get ready to play along to Mean Street! Today was a good day.

Anyone have experience like this?

5 beers in....going for the 6th.
After 8 hours of VH, I switch to "My Michelle" by GNR.

Can't say that I've been there, but I do plan on catching the show tomorrow. By the looks of the lineup, should be a killer night.

Fuckin' sweet! Bring extra to buy Donnie PBRs. We're celebrating Donnie's b-day a day early!

Ancestor · 04-01-2006, 03:22 AM

Right on. I try to make every day like that. It's pretty rare. I love the VH stuff, though. I was listening to the live album from '77 today.

Ancestor,
Upload that to YouSendIt.com & link me PLEASE!

Sure, it's asking for an email address to send to? Do I need that? Never used the service before.
