Like I can totally understand being over Van Halen or thinking they're bland, but it's... an edifying experience to hear the debut properly I suppose.
No lie, I've heard it hundreds of times at this point. I'm familiar with the schtick.

And naw as much as I dig Priest they do not have the same perfect, 50/50 split of metal and pop that can not be replicated by any band but Van Halen.

Then I'm sorry you don't hear the brilliance cause it's kind of exquisite. It's not even something I would compare to Randy Rhoads or any other 80s metal band or even 70s metal band tbh. They have their own thing that is divorced from glam metal or trad heavy metal or anything else in that wheelhouse.

It's okay, it's not your fault that Van Halen is mediocre.

I don't get it. Are you trying to say that it is your fault?

Maybe when you're old enough you'll get it. Are you thirty yet?

Doesn't that mean you should be a Van Halen fan?
