Go to a KISS concert. Almost like being at a strip club. (not that I know what a strip club is like...just sayin:)

Hmmm, I guess I'll look for concert dates :)

This is quintessential Van Halen for me...

From 1981

Warning to casual VH fans... this is NOT on their “Greatest Hits” list that your local radio station spoon feeds you...

Good one. Fair Warning is my favorite Van Halen album, and this is one of my favorites among their deep tracks.

Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that.

It is really sad when you lose a favorite person, but especially a musician, I think because they touch your heart.

I will look up Lyle Mays.

Or, if you want to see naked...female chests ... try a Guns N’ Roses concert.

Went in the ‘80s with my husband and my ears are still ringing!

Noticed VH is dominating iTunes downloads right now.

I’ve got tinnitus, I blame in part to the last kiss concert I went to.
Probably mid to late 90’s.
We were in the balcony, and between the amps in front and the reverb off the back wall, when we got out everything sounded muffled except the ringing in my ears.

BTW... I'll never forgive you for marrying Valerie Bertinelli (she was mine!)

By the sounds of their lifestyle, a lot of people claimed her as "mine" for at least a few minutes at a time.

I found this piece with Gene Simmons, who discovered Van Halen to be touching.
