Casual Fridays: Billy Idol covering Van Halen

Billy Idol from last week doing a cover of Ain't Talkin Bout Love with a bunch of Schnooks like Kerri Kelli. This is about as casual as Fridays get without me posting Black N Blue clips.

Casual Fridays: When Motley Crue were awesome

I admit I saw Motley Crue over the summer. I also admit I was psyched. They beat that out of me though. What a shit show.

I wanted it to look something like this awesome show from Des Moines in 1987



Or if you are going to watch them suck, at least have it be because they haven't fully written Shout at the Devil yet! From the US Festival, pro shot. Also, I have to say they are suffering from Dimmu Borgir syndrome here. In the daylight corpse paint and spikes just look stupid.

Casual Fridays: David Lee Roth Edition

I have been listening pretty much exclusively to David Lee Roth solo material for the last couple of days, with the brief exception of some 1984 cuts. To share the good times, please watch the video for Just Like Paradise below.

Marvel at the majesty of Steve Vai's doubleneck heart shaped guitar. Be puzzled by the use of synth bass when you have Billy Sheehan in your band.



And although I wanted to show you Skyscraper and write about 5,000 words on Steve Vai's genius it is sadly not up on YouTube. So you will have to settle by keeping the party going with "Hot Dog and a Shake." I believe that is innuendo for "my penis and some sperm" but I may just not be smart or clever enough for this game......
