Snapped Shot

Always Watching the All-Seeing Eye

 

Happy Monday, Y'all!

I'm definitely not awake yet, so until I can get enough coffee in me to function, here's a little upcoming bundle of joy from Japan's Van Halen:



I was delighted to get a chance to meet these guys way back in 2006, when they came to the U.S. for their first tour here in almost 20 years. Hopefully, they'll be back soon—though until such time, I'm always happy with a new release.

Anyway, it's time to scare up some coffee, and get caught up in Ye Olde Newsreader. I'll be back soon!

Here's more of Akira's awesome fretwork, if you need more LOUD.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*Dude! M.Z.A.!! \m/ I must have played that "Beast From The East" LP more than 1,000 times in 1984. I worked for radio station KNAC 105.5 in Long Beach from '87 - '92 and met these guys once. They were very cool, and down-to-earth. I was amazed at how well they all spoke English for a band that had such small appeal here in the States. I am not surprised that these guys are still able to get together to write, record, and tour, and still have such a huge following in Japan and even in Scandanavia. Thanks for the Akira riffs.

*YS,

I'm very glad to see another Loudness fan out there—or at the very least, someone else who knows who Loudness is! :-)

Regards, and MZA!
Brian
