It boggles my mind . Van Halen vs. Television ? Can you say Apples vs.
Oranges ? You know, I will actually put it out there that Van Halen is a
fabulous guitar player if you like that Butt-Rock sort of thing... but how
can this guy compare the two ? Where did this guy even hear of Television ?
I would even bet that if Van Halen had ever heard Television, he'd like
them. Solos that are unmelodic ? How can this guy call himself a musician ?
