Especially in light of JC's comments on rhythm-guitarless Van Halen as chaosrock, I'm gonna give it a listen - tho (aside from Eddie's technique which I wish to bend to my own evil ends) nothing VH has ever done has interested me much (bringing back the Kinks is a dubious distinction, and Eddie's tone is boring) - I am curious how they sound as an early live act, and I like the cheap-ass tape recording aesthetic just fine, most tapes of my own bands are done that way - I wonder how much they cleaned it up for the albums?
Granted, I may not end up diggin' it, but Julian interests me as an artist enough that his ideas are worth following up on, regardless
