I saw Alex Van Halen’s hair blaze up in Biloxi I think in 1882. His drum tech was beating him in the head with a towel to put it out. He didn’t stop. In the old days the stage would get so hot because of the light show it could bake the hairspray on your head and just about melt the drum heads. These guys have it made now.
Damn I knew van Halen has been around awhile but 1882 that has to be a record...........
Alex on the drum, Eddie on the fife.
