    What are ya on about? The real explaination for the brown m+m's as presented there is even more interesting than the simple 'typical rockstar behaviour' that had been universally presumed previously.

    Well done Van Halen.

    So there I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night.
    So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town.
    So - we go. And - it's closed.

    So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh.
    Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger.
    I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shop-owner and his son... that's a different story altogether.
    I had to beat them to death with their own shoes.
    Nasty business, really.

    But, sure enough, I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show.

    Well done Van Halen.

    But the myth was a great example of ridiculous excess, this is just sensible.

    Still a better story and quite a clever clause

    Something mildly interesting happens if you the music above directly vs the video below.

    You have to get the timing right. Try starting the JUMP clip exactly 3 seconds before the (muted) JEDI clip.

    If they employed me to do it, they'd be only left with blue and yellow ones ;)

    Van Halen rule. No question. Eddie Van Halen is a god. David Lee Roth the clown prince of rock n roll. Alex Van Halen is Bonzo for the 1980's and beyond...

    Just they had to give Eddie's 16 year old a bass, didn't they??? Wolfgang me hole...:mad:
