Such a good band. So unfair how underrated these guys were. Their first five albums were some of the best of the 80s--I liked everyone of them--almost every song (favorites are "Tonight", "Heartache", "Last Chance", "Breakout", "Whole World's Watching", "Couldn't Get Enough", "Burning", "Somewhere In Your Heart", and "Don't Stop Me Now"--obviously I'm just scratching the surface of how good these guys are). Just so talented, so epic. I hope that there is a resurgence of their songs one day. Maybe one of their tunes will be played in a popular movie and it gets a revival of sorts. Just great music.
carry on !!! van it takes guts year after year to stick with it n make a livin (you deserve much much more fame n fortune) thanks for rockin SO hard !!!!!!! you n west should put that old song writing team together,put somthing out there so amazing and big AND THEN sue the pants off of whoever in the industry that was who held you down!! {can u call it a "comeback"?} sounds like a working title, you and the original team cud start with? hey !!! i got more. . .

Thank you Van for the music that helped me thru my life and to shooting star as well. R.I.P. I will always carry your songs in my heart.

That's awesome I live by 95th and Antioch right now as I watch this interview and read your post I'm on 97th Street half a mile from stonegate pool
Gary West was my favorite! Hollywood!
