Trouble in the Van Halen Camp again?
These guys just postponed 30 dates on their current tour. Rumor is there is “in fighting”. Here is the latest from http://ultimateclassicrock.com/van-halen-fighting-rumors/
With no official word from the Van Halen camp about the reasons behind yesterday’s sudden postponement of over 30 dates on their summer 2012 tour schedule, speculation has set in, some of it focused on the reportedly testy relationship between David Lee Roth and his band mates.

Air your Pet Peeves out here…I will start with a few of mine…
Pet Peeves…
People that don’t use their turn signals. I can’t stand that. I wonder how many accidents are caused because some moron failed to hit the lever to the left or right of him/her on the steering column and notify the other drivers’ of their intentions? If I was a police officer, a failure to use turn signals would be your ticket from me. So come on people use the darn things… Its for the other drivers, you already know where you’re going (most of the time.
Another Pet Peeve…
Neighbors that what to talk to you every time you go out of the house. I can’t hardly mow my yard without my neighbor who is really a nice guy yells for me to come over and talk at the fence. So I end up losing 30 minutes to an hour of mowing time. I make a good neighbor because I will never talk to you unless you talk first. It’s ok to wave and go about your business but that’s all.
Pet Peeve…
I hate messy drawers. I open one up and its cluttered to no end. The sad thing is that it overwhelms me soo much I just close the drawer back…
Pet Peeve…

WOW!! ASIA has a new album release!!
Asia. What a kick ass band!! Remember these guys? Steve Howe? Carl Palmer? John Wetton?? Geoff Downes? Well they are back with a new album called “Asia XXX”. Meaning 30 years of Asia people not triple x-rated. I remember watching them on MTV on the Asia in Asia tour. This is a top notch band with awesome talent and songs.

Finally. . . .
At long last, after many false starts, setbacks, and general weirdness, I’m am finally ready again to start writing for Kick Acts.
As promised, sometime before the end of this century, I will deliver to the good folks who run this site and those who read it a series of articles about the local concerts and the venues that thrived in this area through the late 1960s and into the 1980s.
Please stay tuned and my thanks to Al and Chuck for being so patient with me.
That being said, I’d like to stray a little from my originally promised topics and put the issue of shitty cover bands to the table.
Not that I have anything AGAINST cover bands because anyone that knows me is well aware of the fact that I’ve played in my fair share of them, but I’m talking about the ones that seem to draw people in droves (or not) and can’t play their way out of a paper bag. The ones with a screeching P.A., a 2 can light rig, a singer whose pitch is directly proportional to the amount of alcohol he consumes on a nightly basis, and two guys playing guitar that sound like they just bought them on the way to the gig. You know, the ones that you look at as a musician or an observer, scratch your head and say, “WTF ?”
We’ve all played in one or seen one, so let’s hear about it.
Names are optional and are relative to the amount of heat you’re willing to take.
I welcome all who want to share their thoughts and opinions.
