How do you feel about Velvet Revolvers tribute to Van Halen at Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame?

€œI don’t think it was very good and I really like those guys. It was unfair to take a young band like that, that had only been together for one album and try and make them try to be Van Halen. I think it was a little bit of a mistake but it wasn’t their fault cause they are great and I like those guys a lot, they are really good friends.

Slash is a great guitar player when he is playing his stuff. But for Slash to try and play Eddie’s stuff was wrong. They should have had Steve Vai or Joe Satriani, or somebody like that to play the part.

They should have had a legend induct and put together a great bunch of players who are more adapted to Van Halen to do the tribute. € On the VH reunion tour with Sammy (2004, I think): “Everyone said Eddie was all buffed, he looked good, but he wasn’t fucking buffed. He was skin and bones, he had some muscle tone but everyone has muscle tone.

The guy had no teeth, he never ate, and he was falling down, hurting himself. Some nights he played so bad ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
