I have to post this because it's Van Halen

Any hard-core fan of the band knows that in its heyday, Van Halen had a rider in its touring contract (Article 126) that stated there should be a bowl of M&Ms backstage and that all brown candies had to be removed.

Check out this article on the Van Halen News Desk to find out why ... it's actually a stoke of genius on the band's part.

Found this on YouTube ... this is from an HBO special in the late '80s ... was a b-day tribute to Les Paul in which a bunch of guitarists were assembled to pay tribute to the pioneer who invented, among other things, multi-track recording.

Just amazing to see Eddie Van Halen, Tony Levin and Jan Hammer on stage together. Very cool.
