They get royalties every time Back to the Future is on somewhere in the world.

Are you confusing Van Halen with Huey Lewis and the News?

Nope, that bit where Marty says he's Darth Vader?
The cassette in his Walkman is Van Halen.

Impressive geekery there
Take some points, a viable alternative to coitus

It's not that impressive
the tape says 'EDWARD VAN HALEN' on it in large writing. The tune is 'Eruption' if you care, and even if you don't.

That is more impressive geekery than a display of the simple ability to read.

i like Van Halen,
I like that David Lee Roth is an enemy to other members of other bands that I like.

Yeah? YEAH?
Well at least when I was hanging around outside hotels like a vagrant, I didn't mistake a wagon full of council estate slags on a hen do saying "ugh, look at that smelly tramp" for "oh my god he's gorgeous!" and then have my mate piss on me.

YEAH I WENT THERE

You want some real Back to the Future/Guitar geekery
The guitar that Marty plays at the dance is a Gibson ES-345, which wasn't introduced until 1958. The pickups in the guitar wouldn't have been invented until 1957.

There is only Monty, and those desperate enough for companionship that they talk to him.

I like this.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 26 Feb 2013, 16:12, Reply)

I suspect it was because the 'joke' was that it was Chuck Berry's cousin in the band.
And Berry is associated with ES-335s & 345s.
They should have used a ES-350T
