The Van Halen co-founder and guitarist Eddie Van Halen was one of the most influential musicians of all time, who really changed forever the course of guitar playing. Hard Rock music certainly wouldn't be the same without him and he really blew millions of people away when his band released their self-titled debut album in 1978. But who were the artists who impressed Eddie? He once mentioned three musicians who blew him away. 3 musicians that Eddie Van Halen said blew him away Cream [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTZ4IYPy_cE&pp=ygUdZ29vZGJ5ZSBjcmVhbWltIHNvIGdsYWQgY3JlYW0%3D[/embed] It was in an interview with Steve Baltin in 2009, that Eddie talked about some artists that blew him away. One of them was the first superband in the history of music: Cream. According to Eddie, the power-trio formed by Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker was the only band he was really into. "The only band I was really over into was Cream. And the only thing I really liked about them was their live stuff. 'Cause they played two verses, then go off and jam for 20 minutes, come back and do a chorus and end." "And I love the live jam stuff, the improvisation. 'Cause it was nothing like the record, and that is why I loved Cream. 'Cause Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce pushed Eric Clapton. I almost feel bad for Eric because half the time he probably didn’t know the one was because these guys were jazz players playing Marshall amps and loud as s**t. Listen to "I’m So Glad" on Goodbye Cream. If that doesn’t blow your f**king mind I don’t know what will," Eddie Van Halen said. He was a really big fan of what Eric Clapton did with the Bluesbreakers and Cream. He said many times the guitarist was an influence to him in the early days.

Eddie said a few times during the last years of his life that the last album he bought was Peter Gabriel's "So" back in 1986. He loved that record and even presented the song "Red Rain" to his son Wolfgang Van Halen when he was still a kid. "I love Peter Gabriel, not everything he does, I don’t even like everything I do. Sometimes I’ll write something, for instance a song called "Top Of The World," everyone else liked it, I didn’t. I got outvoted and I wrote the damn song, it ended up on the record. (But) I didn’t like the song, everyone else did. I got outvoted. It’s personal preference, that’s all music is," Eddie Van Halen said. "So" was Peter Gabriel's fifth solo studio album and remains as his best-selling one. It sold an estimated amount of more than 6 million copies worldwide and had famous tracks like "Sledgehammer", "Red Rain", "Don't Give Up" and "In Your Eyes". Tori Amos [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zqae5qyopok&pp=ygUKdG9yaSBhdG1vcw%3D%3D[/embed] The third artist mentioned by Eddie was the American singer, keyboardist and pianist Tori Atmos, who started her career in 1978, one year after Van Halen released their first album. He said: "I love Tori Amos, not everything she does." She only was able to release her debut album "Little Earthquakes" in 1992 and since then more 15 studio albums have been released. Some of her most famous songs are "Crucify", "Silent All These Years", "God" and "Cornflake Girl". Her most successful single in the United States is "A Sorta Fairytale", released in 2002 on her album "Scarlet's Walk". Her songs usually talk about sexuality, feminism, politics, religion and many other topics.The post 3 musicians that Eddie Van Halen said blew him away appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

CLAIM: While introducing executive action for more gun control Thursday night, Vice President Kamala Harris (D) claimed that guns are the No. 1 killer of children. VERDICT: False. President Joe Biden first made this claim on June 2, 2022. Breitbart News pointed out that it was false then and it is false now, even though numerous Hollywood leftists and Democrat politicians have repeated it ad nauseum.

There is no evidence to suggest undocumented immigrants are responsible for 4,000 U.S. deaths every year, contrary to social media posts sharing the unsubstantiated statistic. The social media graphic, contains statistics comparing the alleged deaths by undocumented immigrants to the number of people killed by rifles. “Less than 500 people a year are killed by rifles… let’s ban them! Over 4,000 people a year are killed by illegals... let’s give them $2,200 a month taxpayer assistance...

Helene swept across the Florida panhandle, Georgia and the Carolinas as one of the Southeast’s most powerful storms, knocking out power to millions and leaving at least 22 people dead. After making landfall in Florida’s Big Bend region late Thursday as a Category 4 hurricane, Helene downed power lines, uprooted trees and washed away houses with flash floods. Rain poured down on the Appalachians, threatening landslides, and drenched Atlanta, which saw record rainfall. ...

There are many ways for people with careers to feel validated. You can get a raise, a promotion, a great review from your manager, or a professional award. You can also be someone respected in your profession and a mentor to younger people entering your field. These forms of validation help someone feel valuable and accomplished and are all tangible in some way. You can say, "I’m now the vice president of manufacturing," "I won the Excellence in Sales Award," or "I have a larger number on my paycheck." Syd, a stay-at-home mom named @eclectivhomeschooling on TikTok, recently shared that, unfortunately, moms who work in the home have a hard time finding that same feeling of validation. “Something that I think that a lot of people don’t realize about being a stay-at-home mom, whether you are a homeschool mom or your kids are young and you’re staying home with them during those years, is that there’s no measurement of success. There’s no metric,” she begins her video. “There’s no one saying ‘congratulations, you have been promoted; you are the top of the top of this skill.’ None of that,” she continued. There is no award for an outstanding stay-at-home mom, and there is no manager to give her a review or promotion. She says that being a good mother to her kids “feels good” and “makes us happy” but argues that it isn’t something you can “hold” or “write down.” @eclectichomeschooling It’s everyone’s favorite time of the month! Where I post insane, 3-5 minute, PMS ramblings about motherhood! Okay love you, bye! ? “We’re going on eight years of not being able to measure [success],” she continued. “I think that that’s a thing that nobody really talks about or that we don’t really get to talk about with each other. Your partner goes to work: they get promoted, they get raises, they complete their work for the day and they ... get to be like, ‘OK, I succeeded.’ But my [work] is just constant, all of the time, and there’s no metric for it.” The dishes that Syd cleans will be dirty the next day. The laundry she folds on Monday will be worn on Tuesday and rewashed on Friday. Although Syd has yet to find a solution to this problem, she sees other ways to get the validation she craves. “It’s hard, especially because a lot of us don’t prioritize hobbies for ourselves. That’s a great place for us to find success or a feeling of accomplishment,” she said. Syd’s video struck a chord with many stay-at-home mothers feeling the same way. A commenter named Leigh noted that the need for external validation comes from the corporate culture in which Americans are raised. “On my best days, it is interesting to notice how tied we are to corporate-style success. On my worst, it is inescapably crushing,” she wrote in the most popular comment. “It's the neverending loops that are never complete. We never get the satisfaction of a ‘job well done’ because nothing is ever really done,” Hazel added. “Once I started focusing on my own happiness, it got better.” According to Love, the lack of praise for a job well done also means that it’s easy to be criticized. “When you’re doing everything right, there’s no praise, etc., but if you do anything wrong or are not perfect, then the issue gets thrown in your face in every way. So you end up feeling like a failure,” she wrote. Syd told Upworthy that her followers have tried to help her recontextualize her feelings of worth. “Since the video, I’ve had a lot of conversations with moms about how we measure worth by being very wrapped up in productivity through a capitalist lens. It can be tough to divest from that, but it is also so important. Like, what’s a safe and secure childhood worth? Nothing technically, but also the entire world. We do that!” she told Upworthy. She adds that a few of her followers suggested she should take up martial arts as a hobby. “I’m still pondering that one,” she told Upworthy. Ultimately, Syd’s realization could have caused her to feel down about herself or resign to a never-ending feeling of being unfulfilled. However, she’s seen it as an opportunity to reevaluate her sense of self-worth and possibly as a reason to branch off into new and exciting hobbies outside her family.
