from the garage to the arena

I was looking at the Billboard website and found this article. This story has been floating around the industry and the internet for a few months. The show Rockstar, you may know it, this is the show that INXS whore themselves on, to find a new singer. Well the talk is Van Halen may be next.

Now if Van Halen every does get going again, then it better be with David Lee Roth. Of course I just don't see it ever happening.

If they really are looking for a new singer, there is only one other guy. If you live in Southern California you may have seen him. He fronts a Van Halen tribute band called The Atomic Punks. This guy does DLR better than Dave does. He sounds just like him and he sings on key. Michael Anthony, VH bassist has even played shows with the Atomic Punks.

Two of their former guitarist have even played in DLR's touring bands.

Hopefully Eddie and Alex will not sink to the TV reality show level. Do it right get DLR or at least his clone.

I'll check out The Atomic Punks, Doppler. They sound interesting.

INXS have been pathetic the way they have tried in vain to hang on since Michael Hutchence' death. Really, they should have accepted that as the end and got on with new things.
