Good Day Fellow Fans

**The J Man** · 06.15.06, 04:40 PM

I'm Zach T. On other sites I go by "VH Drummer," or "CaptainDrums." I speak my mind and will stick to whatever I say. If I see something I don't like, I'll say it. If I see a post that insults someone that I "know," I'll make sure that you know I don't like it. Yeah, I'm pretty straight forward.

I have a decent collection of live music, largely from Van Halen and Motley Crue. I recently discovered that I pretty much dislike/hate Sammy Hagar for all the trash talking he does. Sure, it's great that he makes music, good for him, but I don't like his attitude. Yes, that also means I am a Classic Van Halen fan. Other forums I am a member of are vhstrungout, vhtrading, jamtothis, motley.com, and dimeadozen.

I'll post a lot of good discussion, feedback and some humor along the way. You can also count on a good knowledge of live recordings and just another good companion to have. I also hate people that kiss ass. I hate Hagar ass kissers, those people act like he's a rock God and he IS NOT. That being said, I'll think you'll all be pleasantly suprised at how much fun we can have together.

Nothing like a good ol' welcome aboard eh?

That is true...and I don't really mind his solo stuff, it is good music, especially before Van Halen. But with all the crap coming from him I honestly have lost all desire to even hear anything related to him. Sure, I may have a hefty 2004 collection, but it was the first VH tour and perhaps the last so I stocked up on it, pretty much everything else is a few Balance shows for the sake of other people, and a few 1986 shows which my dad went to...the rest is all CVH. Did somebody say FAIR WARNING?

Ahh yes, that was a great show!! Oakland Coliseum at it's finest.

But that's being classic, and far as I'm concerned, being classic with Van Halen is the best there is.

Same here, Steve. Everyone here basically know what they're talking about, and if they don't, we make sure they realize that

Now I have my partner in crime with me to back up my arguments
