jorge(454) | Hi everybody, thanks for letting me join this board!  Some of you might know me from other trading/bootlegging forums, I’m looking forward discussing everything about the best band in the world with you. Living in Switzerland isn’t easy if you’re a VH fan like myself, last time the band played here was back in ’95. My first VH live experience was during the European Monsters of Rock tour 1984 at the age of eleven and I became a huge fan ever since. You know that EVERYBODY wants some…

EDDIE’S fingers aren’t fingers they are muscle-powered pistons that hammer guitar strings to the fretboard with the force of a rivet gun”.

jorge(454) | Thanks very much for the warm welcome! I was exactly 11 years, 8 months and 21 days old when I first saw Van Halen, which by the way happened to be one of the very last shows VH played with Dave before the split: August 31, 1984, Winterthur Switzerland. VH was part of the Monsters Of Rock tour and entered the stage right before AC/DC. I don’t remember too much from that concert but I got hooked and followed the bands activities ever since, becoming an active trader in the beginning of the 90s when I used to ship tons of cassettes around the world. Much more convenient now with the Internet but it will never give you the same excitement I used to have when a “fresh” package from the States arrived by airmail with new tapes and shows. I love ALL eras, the Dave years, the Sam years and – being an Extreme fan before – also the Gary era. Favorite tours are Fair Warning (of course) and RHRN tour back in 1993 (mother of all tours with Sammy). And the new tour just kicks ass, great to see the boys back in such a shape after all the bashing before the tour started!
