Oh my god. Yessssssss.

You gotta understand, people. I am a huge Van Halen fan. For years I’ve always picked up my guitar and started playing EVH songs like “Atomic Punk”, “Cathedral” and, of course, “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love.” Now, come August 4th, we’ll all be able to rock out to a shitload of Van Halen tracks via Guitar Hero. While I would have preferred for the game to be released on the Rock Band platform, GH is appropriate and I’m sure they’re not going to go fucking this one up. Even the PS2 is getting it, so you retro-gamers finally have something to get excited about.

If you’ve ever dreamed of being Eddie Van Halen, now is your one and only chance. Kevin Dugan, the designer behind Eddie’s guitar from his 1986 Van Halen 5150 tour and Van Halen’s Crew Chief for 25 years, is auctioning off that very same guitar for around $35,000 to $48,000 with a starting bid of $25,000. With a price tag like that, I’d never play it. I’d keep it in a glass case behind metal bars in an underground vault. I would worship it every night, right before bed. Occasionally, I’d wear it around for show just to make Vince jealous.

And then I wake up and cry because I don’t own EVH’s guitar. Damn.
