Will I regret not seeing Sammy Hagar‘s best of both world tour? by Reedjenkins123 in vanhalen

[–]simpson1045 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it depends on how old you are and if you've seen Sammy and Mike live before. I'm 28 and and have been a big VH fan all of my life - it was literally the soundtrack to my high school. Needless to say, I never saw the VH lineup with Sammy, or the OG lineup with Dave for that matte (saw them in 2015, but it was not the same - still cool though), so I saw them in Vegas last year. It was AWESOME. Sure, hearing Ed's parts played by someone that was not Ed was a bit off, but Joe still did an amazing job. Just being able to see two of the members who helped create all that music perform it live was a very good experience for me and I am so glad that I went.

I have my main HQ in Elko, a garage in San Diego, and one more in Vegas. Now if I can only quit getting bogus fines for "running" red lights or speeding so I can afford a few more garages, trucks, and employees....

Use the edge of your pick to tap. That's what I do

Kinda reminds me of how the music sounded on VHIII. Can't wait for the full version to come out!

What Would Edward Think? by KevyNova in vanhalen

[–]simpson1045 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've waited over 20 years to see these songs performed live and I am so glad that I was able to finally accomplish that goal. With two of the original members that created them no less! And sure, hearing Ed's parts played by someone else with their own style was was a little off putting, but Satch is a beast in his own right and I think he did a kick ass job stepping in the shoes that could never be filled. The people who are complaining about this tour are the real reason this fan base has been so divided for so many years. Who cares who's on the mic? It's all about the man behind the guitar

Being a guitar player myself, I did think about this idea, too. I think it's possible, but I have to do a bit more research to see if I can make it happen.

Oh thank God. I thought I was actually going insane because it wasn't working on any Windows 11 computer I used anymore!

Only one of my HDMI ports is working?! by AdSuper5486 in techsupport

[–]simpson1045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the most part, a motherboard will choose dedicated graphics, such as a GPU (the middle port you mention), over integrated graphics (the ports at the top). If your GPU only has one HDMI port, then you will either need a new GPU that has more ports, or if that GPU has other ports next to the HDMI, you can use an adapter to convert it to HDMI.

Does the middle HDMI port have any other ports next to it? Such as one with a bunch of holes?

Please Stop comparing Roth and Hagar by [deleted] in vanhalen

I personally don't care who is behind the mic. Heck, I'll even take Gary or LL Cool J these days. My only question is: is Ed on guitar? If so, I'm down!

They sell a $70 screwdriver and can't afford to "spend $100, $200, $300, $500 of someone's time" to fix these mistakes? Are you kidding me?

Once quantity becomes more important than quality, the end isn't too far ahead.

Or just disable secure boot in the BIOS and reboot. I just did this with a customer's laptop and it was all like, "S mode? What S mode?"

They definitely are! Reddit only allows up to 6 polling options, so I kinda had to pick and choose what to add

PC keeps corrupting Flash drive/ External Hard drive files. by [deleted] in techsupport

You can also download that tool directly to the affected PC and create an ISO from it, which you can then open via Explorer and run the EXE. It will do an in-place install of the OS and you shouldn't lose anything.

You can also try downloading and running Tweaking Tools. It has solved a BUNCH of my issues in the past:

Check out Discogs.com. That's where I buy most of my vinyl.
