I am looking forward to catching Kool...., I otherwise would never see them - so it's an added bonus to the night. Kinda like when RHCP took Snoop Dogg on the road with them a few years back. Btw, Alice In Chains opened for Van Hagar when we saw them back in '92. I wasn't able to get in to see Marley the last time VH toured as we were coming back from a Daytona race on Valentine's Day - great day that was! I've never heard that about EVH, but then again I usually don't pay attention to what he says (or his brother for that matter).
