NancyJohnson Posted February 28 Posted February 28 A few of you may have seen the Billy Corgan interviews that are dropping onto You Tube, have watched a couple (Gene Simmons/Wolfgang Van Halen), both thoroughly enjoyable. Where Billy Corgan wins is that he's got shared experiences and is a fanboy/man of the people he's interviewing, even by association. While he says he's never met Wolfie, he knew Eddie and loved Van Halen. Recommended! 2 Quote
cetera Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Yep, enjoying these. Seen the Gene and Tom Morello ones. Will watch the Wolfie one soon but not sure I can face the Sharon Osbourne one... Quote

Despite WvH's upbringing and exposure (and having lost my dad when I about his age), I really feel empathy with the guy. He comes across as a fairly nice, humble bloke that's experienced more exposure to the rock lifestyle that we'll ever see. Despite having released two very decent albums, where he's played everything, he has to find it somewhat exasperating having to live in his father's shadow with so many hardened Van Halen fans/whackos feeling it's necessary for [him] to somehow continue his father's legacy by going out and playing his dad's material or giving them a tribute show as some kind of closure. Nobody pressed Sean Lennon to do this. We live in odd times. 2 Quote
