He’s like a shit, middle-of-the-road AC/DC, writes the same song over and over again. The song named in the pic above is the only song of his that I can think of. Expand Not a major fan by any stretch but Full Moon Fever is a canny album (only one of his I've had) but he fought the record companies and won, much to the benefit of fellow artists, similar to what Led Zep did for gig dosh. He wrote "You got it" for Orbison btw, and if the rest of the Willbury's were happy to work with him he must have had something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 46366 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I know he was in the Wilbury’s , which was another puzzler to me. Every other member was at some level a musical legend, but Tommy? I guess it’s just personal taste, all the Septics I worked with in France thought he was some kind of genius, which led to some fun boozy “discussion” On 23/03/2025 at 08:47, Toonpack said: but he fought the record companies and won Expand What’s the story here?

Expand First album is ok, but then Eddie went all how many more notes can I play at the speed of light in this solo, not for me. Three maybe four tunes I really like the rest is bollocks. His son's talented mind and in my twitter days he was quite funny as well. He got piled on a few times for his name Wolf Van Halen from VH zealots a good few along the lines of: "you're desecrating Eddie Van Halen, stealing his name" "but that's my real name" "It's disrespectful to Eddie, you shouldn't use it, he'd hate it" "Erm, He's my dad" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's an outdoor cat who absolutely wrecks the local mouse community. Sometimes I come down in the morning and there's just a mouse head left. Two dead ones this morning. Anyway she's on regular dewormer now, the filthy bitch. Edited April 4 by Gemmill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
