Not a great decision by the band, but sometimes those things happen in tournaments.<br /><br />Stay tuned next week for the battle between Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17740439412693373442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741867383463399828.post-13854910422528730902022-07-18T08:28:09.491-04:002022-07-18T08:28:09.491-04:00Right?

Van Halen changed their style a few times over the years and had pretty good success along the way, which I can only imagine is very difficult to do. Maybe they needed some of that '70s VH style in this battle. As for the Ramones, I agree on "Commando". Hard hitter there.<br /><br />Stay tuned next week!gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17740439412693373442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741867383463399828.post-13396025452436412572022-07-18T08:26:04.233-04:002022-07-18T08:26:04.233-04:00Thanks for following along, Bulldog!

Rock music to me is all about the live performance, and the Ramones are a great example.<br /><br />Interesting song choice by Van Halen there, for sure. Tournaments are always full of surprises.

Commando is a great song. Disappointed VH didn't move on, but their song selection wasn't strong. I like Panama. The other three aren't my style. I guess I'm more of a 70's VH kind of guy. Then again... I liked the 5150 album too.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741867383463399828.post-14880004116929095682022-07-17T13:47:28.747-04:002022-07-17T13:47:28.747-04:00Van Halenn all the way for me.

I did get to see them once, and they were great.<br /><br />Hearing Van Halen do "California Girls" would certainly be interesting, though. I don't think they've done any of Roth's solo stuff. (For that matter, I've always wanted Roth to sing lead on "Finish What Ya Started". Most of the Van Hagar stuff I can do without, but I like that one.)Brett Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909286892005353279noreply@blogger.com
