Definitely, I tried to follow Van Halen after they parted ways with Roth and got until For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, then my interest dropped. I also think that David Lee Roth Band with Steve Vai, Billy Sheehan and Greg Bissonette was a superstar group, Eat Em' And Smile and Skyscraper are absolutely brilliant albums. I've got a longish guitar hero fan history from my teens, starting with Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Van Halen, going through Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Tony Macalpine - and I still like them, went to see Vai's Passion and Warfare 25th anniversary tour gig here in Helsinki, wasn't disappointed. I've got a couple of guitars I still occasionally fiddle with (a Tokai AST-'62 sunburst strat and Ibanez Universe UV70PBK 7-string, if someone's interested). Eddie Van Halen's influence on guitar playing technique and guitar technical development is undisputed. Requiescat in pace.

You're right, I stand corrected.

The first one was New Zealand in 1893, Finland was the second.

Ours is probably one of the hardest languages for non-natives to learn due to the agglutinative morphology, consonant gradation etc. - the phonetics are also very hard for foreigners, and then there's the difference between standard language and spoken/colloquial language; there are some fun synthetic words like epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydellänsäkäänköhän (that's the Guinness world record for the longest single Finnish word - the meaning is difficult for even us Finns to parse). My second foreign language is Russian, that's a hard one as well with seven different types of letter s, three grammatical genders, the Cyrillic script and so on. If you're wondering, English is my fourth language, because Finns have compulsory Swedish as a third language (unless you're Finnish-Swedish, in which case your native language is the Finnish variant of Swedish and Finnish proper is your third language) - Finland is officially bilingual (Finnish, Swedish) but our government also supports the Sami languages, Romani language and Finnish Sign Language (FSL).
