In another heavily covered case of a missing young woman, the boyfriend is being held on a murder charge and is set to appear in court today. The man stands accused of killing his girlfriend and will stand before a judge in Pasco County this afternoon. The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Collin Knapp was taken into custody and charged with second degree murder yesterday. Although Kathleen Moore’s body has not yet been found, details coming to the surface prompted the man’s incarceration. Witnesses say the couple was seen bar-hopping recently, then arguing shortly afterward. The last time Moore was seen, she was standing and waiting for an Uber after spending some time with Knapp. Investigators say they believe she never left Knapp’s residence. In a recent development, deputies searched a local landfill and found clothing with Moore’s blood on it. Officers say a body was not found, but enough blood was present that Knapp could be charged with Moore’s death. Pasco County Sheriff Nocco continued to say that Knapp has been asked to give the location of Kathleen’s body, but he has been “very cold” during questioning. Police records show that Knapp has a history of domestic violence with several other women and has been arrested for almost a dozen felonies and various misdemeanors over the last two decades.

Van Halen’s Best 30 Songs Of All Time
Van Halen: Their 30 Best Songs, Ranked
30. “Dirty Movies” – ‘Fair Warning’ (1981)
ShareOne thing that doesn’t get discussed enough about Van Halen is how funky they could be. This song, about a prom-queen-turned-porn-star, features one of Van Halen’s deepest grooves, courtesy of Michael Anthony and Alex Van Halen, but it’s Eddie’s evocative leads and riffing (along with Dave being Dave) that really makes the song work.
29. “Happy Trails” – ‘Diver Down’ (1982)
ShareA song by Roy Rogers and Dale Evans that Van Halen covered as a one minute long acapella jam for their most uneven album, this might not have ranked as one of their best songs before October 6, 2020. But if you were putting together your own Van Halen mix today, this would be a great final track, and it definitely sounds different now that Eddie is gone. It also showed that not only were the band members great instrumentalists, they were great vocalists as well.
28. “Ice Cream Man” – ‘Van Halen’ (1978)
ShareLike all other hard rock bands from the ’60s and ‘70s, Van Halen was influenced by all forms of blues. But Van Halen had more fun with it than most, as evidenced here. Dave would play the acoustic guitar at the beginning of the song, starting it out solo, but the band kicked in and Eddie came in hot with one of his greatest solos. The end where Dave and Eddie are dueling with their instruments, is just a blast.
27. “Right Now” – ‘For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge’ (1991)
ShareIt’s difficult for a hard rock band to grow up and Van Halen were one of the few who were able to pull it off gracefully. Let’s be honest -- they wouldn’t have been able to do it without Sammy Hagar. But the band evolved as songwriters and players. This socially conscious song was built on an amazing Eddie Van Halen piano riff, but it also included one of his many incredible solos.
26. “Intruder/(Oh) Pretty Woman” – ‘Diver Down’ (1982)
ShareVan Halen were, of course, a great songwriting team, as this list attests to. But they were also amazing song interpreters. They kicked off their career with a supercharged version of the Kinks’ “You Really Got Me,” but their unexpected take on Roy Orbison’s “(Oh) Pretty Woman” is nearly as iconic.
25. “Finish What Ya Started” – OU812 (1988)
ShareWhen the Eddie Van Halen/Sammy Hagar team worked, it *really* worked. The two of them worked this song out on two guitars in the wee hours of the morning and it sounds like it. This song sounds unlike anything else VH ever did; Eddie’s playing, even without distortion, is fantastic.
24. “Little Dreamer” – ‘Van Halen’ (1978)
ShareDavid Lee Roth reminds us that he can sing on this song, and his lyrics are a bit more empathetic than usual: “And then they went and they voted you/Least likely to succeed/I had to tell them baby you were armed with/All you'd need.” As flashy as Eddie could be, he knew how to let the song breathe; his playing during the verses dances around Roth’s narration. Of course, he also gets his time to shine on his wailing solo.
23. “Best Of Both Worlds” – ‘5150’ (1986)
Share‘5150,’ Van Halen’s first album with Sammy Hagar, made a strong case that the band’s second iteration would be as strong as the first, and this song was a big reason why. Eddie played a monster riff during the chorus, and his playing glided through the verses. And it’s one of Sammy’s best VH performances.
22. “Feel Your Love Tonight” – ‘Van Halen’ (1978)
ShareAn ode to teenage horniness; as always, Eddie, Alex and Michael’s playing was great but the real star is the interplay of their backing vocals with Dave’s leads. As with “Happy Trails,” it makes a good case that Van Halen could have been a great doo-wop group in a different era.
21. “Summer Nights” – ‘5150’ (1986)
ShareWith the addition of Sammy Hagar, it was clear that Van Halen could do a lot more, stylistically, and they weren’t going to stick with just party jams. But they weren’t going to ditch them, either, as they pointed out with “Summer Nights.” And obviously, Eddie still had riffs for days.
20. “Atomic Punk” – ‘Van Halen’ (1978)
Share“I am the ruler of these nether worlds/The underground/On every wall and place my fearsome name is hear/Just look around, whoa yeee-ah!” It sounds like something Black Sabbath might have cooked up. The opening interplay between Eddie’s guitar scratching (reminiscent of “Voodoo Chile” by his idol Jimi Hendrix) and Alex’s cymbals is hair raising. Which Eddie Van Halen solo is the best one? Tough to say, but this one kind of defines “face-melting.”
19. “Dreams” – ‘5150’ (1986)
ShareAnother example of a Hagar-era classic that just wouldn’t have been possible with Van Halen’s original lineup. Here, it’s Sammy’s vocals that take center stage, but Eddie’s keyboards drive the song. Of course, Eddie steps away from the keys for a bit to blow our minds with a solo.
18. “So This Is Love?” – ‘Fair Warning’ (1981)
ShareGive the bass player some! This is one of Michael Anthony’s funkiest performances; it almost sounds like something a jazz or blues band could have done in a prohibition-era speakeasy, and you could certainly imagine Roth performing in those snarky vocals in a dark, seedy joint. It’s Eddie’s guitar and Alex’s drums that bring it to the ‘80s; of course, it still sounds amazing today, and it always will.
17. “Jamie’s Cryin’” – ‘Van Halen’ (1978)
ShareRoth showed empathy for the lead character in “Little Dreamer,” and he also did it on “Jamie’s Cryin’.” “Now Jamie's been in love before/And she knows what love is for/It should mean, a little, a little more/Than one-night stands.” Of course, many of his songs actually were about one-night stands, but here he shows some feeling for the person on the other end of a tryst.
16. “Dance The Night Away” – ‘Van Halen II’ (1979)
ShareOne thing that set Van Halen apart from their rivals was their ability to write a perfect pop song, and a danceable one at that. Here’s another great example of Eddie Van Halen getting out of the way of the song.
15. “Panama” – ‘1984’ (1984)
ShareAfter hearing the lead single from ‘1984,’ “Jump,” fans might have worried that Van Halen was ditching hard rock. No such luck: this ode to fast cars was a guitar-driven masterpiece.
14. “I’m The One” – ‘Van Halen’ (1978)
ShareMore than forty years later, this song is still mindblowing; at parts, it’s nearly as fast as speed metal, at other parts it sounds like cabaret. And they slip into doo-wop/acapella mode for good measure, just to show you that they can do it. One of the most underrated songs in the VH catalog.
13. “Somebody Get Me A Doctor” – ‘Van Halen II’ (1979)
ShareThe “woo-woo!” at 1:24, going into Eddie’s solo is perfect, as is Eddie guitar fill at 2:09. You can hear how much fun they’re having here and it’s infectious.
12. “Hot For Teacher” – ‘1984’ (1984)
ShareAlex Van Halen is the star here; his drumming on this song is as iconic and instantly recognizable as any of Eddie’s guitar work. Of course, Eddie’s guitar here is stellar. Even though it was their last album with David Lee Roth (for a few decades), they were firing on all cylinders And not only on the song but on the video, which was their last with Roth and certainly their best.
11. “Everybody Wants Some!!” – ‘Women And Children First’ (1980)
ShareNow, sure...we just gushed about Alex Van Halen’s drumming in the previous entry, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t do the same on “Everybody Wants Some!!” While not as frenetic as “Hot For Teacher,” the lengthy drum intro on “Everybody Wants Some!!” is just as infectious, as is its chorus.
10. “Little Guitars (Intro)/Little Guitars” – ‘Diver Down’ (1982)
Share‘Diver Down’ is generally thought of as the most uneven of the first six Van Halen albums, but most other bands would kill for an album that good. “Little Guitars” is the best original on the album; Eddie’s acoustic intro is even more intense than “Spanish Fly” (from ‘Van Halen II’) and “Little Guitars” itself is one of the band’s most joyful songs. Eddie’s riff almost seems to be bouncing around during the song.
9. “1984/Jump” – ‘1984’ (1984)
ShareVan Halen’s lone number one hit is, of course, the synth-heavy “Jump,” because irony is just funny like that sometimes.
8. “On Fire” – ‘Van Halen’ (1978)
ShareClosing out Van Halen’s self-titled debut, “On Fire” sends listeners out on a hard rock high note (literally) with DLR and Michael Anthony’s wails of “I’m on fire!” It’s the type of closer that immediately just makes you want to start an album from track one again and go for another ride.
7. “Unchained” – ‘Fair Warning’ (1981)
ShareTake a look at this! Some songs are just tailor-made to be performed in massive arenas, and “Unchained” is one of them. From the chugging opening riff to the group vocal on the chorus, “what a rocker” this song is!
6. “You Really Got Me” – ‘Van Halen’ (1978)
ShareVan Halen had a way with covers and really had a knack for putting their own spin on classics, especially a rock standard like “You Really Got Me.” It’s undoubtedly VH’s best cover and can easily stand up to the original by the Kinks. Of course, it didn’t hurt to have a lead in like “Eruption” either.
5. “Mean Street” – ‘Fair Warning’ (1981)
ShareServing as the opening track on Van Halen’s fourth studio album, “Mean Street” is a unique standout not just on the LP but in the band’s entire catalog. Dave, Eddie, Michael and Alex all shine on this track, and it’s a shared spotlight that’s hard to ignore.
4. “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love” – ‘Van Halen’ (1978)
ShareThe final single from Van Halen’s stellar debut album, “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love” remains a mainstay of rock radio over four decades after its initial release. It’s easy to understand why with its brash chorus and ridiculously memorable lines like “You know you're semi-good lookin'/And on the streets again.” Oh, and that opening riff is just killer.
3. “And The Cradle Will Rock…” – ‘Women And Children First’ (1980)
Share“Have you seen Junior's grades?” More than just a little tongue in cheek lyrically, “And the Cradle Will Rock…” famously gave fans the first taste of Eddie Van Halen dabbling with keyboards, without taking away from his guitar. That sure had some decent returns down the line!
2. “Eruption” – ‘Van Halen’ (1978)
ShareIn 1:42 and only the second track into Van Halen’s debut album, Eddie Van Halen cemented his status as a guitar god, and there was no turning back. “Eruption” is so ingrained in rock culture now it’s almost difficult to think of a time without it. It’s the solo that inspired countless people to pick up a guitar; it also caused thousands of six-stringers to sit dumbfounded, trying to figure out how EVH played the damn thing in the first place. Perhaps, it’s both.
1. “Runnin’ With The Devil” – ‘Van Halen’ (1978)
ShareOut the gate, Van Halen just weren’t messing around. They were young, hungry and with a mission statement like “Runnin’ With The Devil,” they told you who they were right away. When you’re “livin' at a pace that kills,” there isn’t time for pleasantries. In a debate on the best opening track from a debut album ever, “Runnin’ With The Devil” is always part of the conversation, and it may well be the greatest. In the case of this list, we think it’s Van Halen’s best song ever. Simply put, this song is perfect, even when you isolate DLR’s vocals.
Top 25 AC/DC Songs With Brian Johnson
AC/DC: Top 25 Brian Johnson Songs
25. “Shake Your Foundations” – ‘Fly on the Wall’ (1985)
Share‘Fly on the Wall’ gets a lot of flak in the AC/DC catalog, but there’s still some really fun tunes on that album, like “Shake Your Foundations.” Much like many other AC/DC tracks before it, its title is a euphemism for, well...you know. Lyrics like, “Told me not to touch, but she was coming back for more/You know what for” aren’t exactly subtle. This is AC/DC, after all, so none of this should be too shocking.
24. “Play Ball” – ‘Rock or Bust’ (2014)
Share‘Rock or Bust’ didn’t quite measure up to its predecessor, 2008’s ‘Black Ice,’ but like all AC/DC albums, it had one hell of a lead single with “Play Ball” that dripped with swagger. The song was also appropriately used in all of the advertisements for TBS’ 2014 coverage of Major League Baseball’s post-season programming. If you had a team fighting for a World Series title that year, there was no escaping AC/DC.
23. “Hail Caesar” – ‘Ballbreaker’ (1995)
ShareNot quite sure just how many rock songs referencing Julius Caesar exist, but it would be hard to say AC/DC’s “Hail Caesar” wasn’t the coolest one. That chorus alone is worthy of that honor.
22. “Sink the Pink” – ‘Fly on the Wall’ (1985)
ShareYou know that whole thing about AC/DC not being subtle? Yeah, it’s almost as if they didn’t try with the lyrics to “Sink the Pink.” Is this song incredibly sleazy? Yes. Is it absurdly catchy? Absolutely! In the pantheon of dirty AC/DC songs (and there are a lot of them), this one is just a good time.
21. “Wheels” – ‘Black Ice’ (2008)
ShareWomen + Cars = One awesome tune! Add in the powerful group vocal on the sing-a-long chorus with Brian Johnson delivering some of his patented higher-pitched screeching vocals, and you have one killer tune that really doesn’t get enough attention.
20. “Ruff Stuff” – ‘Blow Up Your Video’ (1988)
ShareAn underrated cut from ‘Blow Up Your Video,’ “Ruff Stuff” is about...exactly what you think it’s about. However, it also features one of the band’s best opening lines with, “I like ‘em big, and I like ‘em small/And if I had to take the oath, I would take them all.”
19. “Anything Goes” – ‘Black Ice’ (2008)
ShareAngus and Malcolm Young’s guitars were always on point, but they took a strange melodic turn on “Anything Goes.” There’s a lot of jokes about AC/DC’s songs all sounding the same, but “Anything Goes” truly doesn’t sound like any other song in the band’s catalog. It’s a track worth checking out and revisiting if you haven’t listened to it in a while.
18. “Satellite Blues” – ‘Stiff Upper Lip’ (2000)
ShareOne look at the title, and it would be safe to assume “Satellite Blues” would have a bluesy AF riff even before listening to the track. Your assumptions would not just be correct, but you’ll also be treated to the perfect minimalist drums of Phil Rudd as well on a pure meat-and-potatoes jam so good, it’s amazing it was released in the fourth decade of AC/DC’s existence.
17. “Shot in the Dark” – ‘Power Up’ (2020)
ShareForty years on from joining the band, Brian Johnson’s gravelly voice is still a joyful sound, as heard on “Shot in the Dark,” the lead single from AC/DC’s 17th studio album ‘Power Up.’ The song is a triumphant return for the band, but especially for Johnson who famously had to step away from the band due to hearing loss issues. Thanks to some technological advances, everyone’s favorite newsboy hat-wearing singer is back, and fans couldn’t be more thrilled.
16. “Stiff Upper Lip” – ‘Stiff Upper Lip’ (2000)
ShareCould AC/DC still rock in the New Millenium? We knew that the answer was a resounding “Yes!” with the release of “Stiff Upper Lip,” the title track from the band’s 14th studio album. Johnson’s vocal range from growl to screeching wail was on full display, which seems rather appropriate with lyrics like, “Like a dog in a howl/I bite everything.”
15. “Rock ‘n’ Roll Train” – ‘Black Ice’ (2008)
Share“Rock ‘n’ Roll Train,” the first single from 2008’s ‘Black Ice’ was the first piece of new music from AC/DC following an eight-year hiatus after the release of 2000’s ‘Stiff Upper Lip.’ Even though that marked the largest gap of time between releases, the time off didn’t affect AC/DC one bit, and they once again found their groove and knocked out one hell of a lead single from an equally impressive album. On the lengthy tour in support of ‘Black Ice,’ “Rock ‘n’ Roll Train” was the usual set opener and it provided a killer kickoff to an extremely tight set.
14. “Are You Ready” – ‘The Razors Edge’ (1990)
ShareThe third and final single released from ‘The Razors Edge,’ “Are You Ready,” was a ready-made arena anthem 30 years ago, but it’s had a second life as of late since becoming the official theme for WWE’s ‘Friday Night SmackDown’ once it started airing on FOX. When you’re dealing with Murdoch money, it’s amazing the type of songs you can afford to license for use.
13. “That’s the Way I Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll” – ‘Blow Up Your Video’ (1988)
Share‘Blow Up Your Video’ saw the return of producers Harry Vanda and George Young, the older brother to Malcolm and Angus. Vanda and Young worked on AC/DC’s first four studio albums, and when you hear songs like “That’s the Way I Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll,” it definitely feels like a return to those early albums with Bon Scott, especially when you listen back to Angus Young’s blistering solo.
12. “Hard as a Rock” – ‘Ballbreaker’ (1995)
Share‘Ballbreaker’ marked AC/DC’s first new LP in five years following 1990’s ‘The Razors Edge.’ That considering, they had to come out the gate with a banger, and they certainly didn’t disappoint with “Hard as a Rock.” It was the first single heard from the Rick Rubin-produced album, who had previously worked with the band on the 1993 single “Big Gun” from the ‘Last Action Hero’ soundtrack. Rubin and Malcolm Young reportedly didn’t get on very well, which is likely why ‘Ballbreaker’ is the only album produced by Rubin, but at least the effort yielded some great tunes, regardless.
11. “Who Made Who” – ‘Who Made Who’ (1986)
ShareWho made “Who Made Who” possible? If you love this single, you have Stephen King to thank for it. King, an AC/DC superfan, convinced the band to contribute some hits and write some new music for his 1986 film ‘Maximum Overdrive.’ The film may have flopped, but at least the soundtrack (also titled ‘Who Made Who’) rocked, and it gave us a killer music video featuring a massive amount of Angus Young clones.
10. “Moneytalks” – ‘The Razors Edge’ (1990)
ShareA song seemingly entrenched in the “Greed is good” philosophy of Gordon Gekko, you’d have thought it would be released in the ‘80s. Alas, “Moneytalks” was released as the second single from 1990’s ‘The Razors Edge.’ It, indeed, confirmed, “Money talks/B.S. walks.” The track also did some walking up the Billboard Hot 100 chart where it peaked at #23 making it AC/DC’s highest-charting single in the United States.
9. “What Do You Do for Money Honey” – ‘Back in Black’ (1980)
ShareSay what you want about ladies of the night, but the subject of “What Do You Do For Money Honey” is clearly good at what she does if she has an “Apartment with a view/On the finest avenue.” We all have to make a living, right? It bears mentioning that while Brian Johnson sings his ass off on the entire album, there’s just something about the way he’s able to wail, “What do you do for money honey/How do you get your kicks/What do you do for money honey/How do you get your licks.”
8. “Rock and Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution” – ‘Back in Black’ (1980)
ShareEasily one of the best closing tracks of all time, “Rock and Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution” doubles-down on the meat-and-potatoes aspect of the rock genre and delivers one of its most enduring and endearing anthems ever. No need to overthink things here. After all, “Rock and roll is just rock and roll.” Even for those that think rock’s best days are behind us (or even dead, if you’re Gene Simmons), never forget, “It'll always be with us/It's never gonna die/Never gonna die.”
7. “Have a Drink on Me” – ‘Back in Black’ (1980)
ShareThose who have done their share of, “Tryin' to walk a straight line/On sour mash and cheap wine” perhaps did so while this song was playing in the background. Malcolm and Angus Young’s guitar work on this track is nothing short of inspired. “Have a Drink On Me,” notably, serves as a wink and a nod to the late Bon Scott, who undoubtedly would’ve gotten a kick out of this song.
6. “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)” – ‘For Those About to Rock We Salute You’ (1981)
ShareHow on Earth do you follow up a record like ‘Back in Black’? Frankly, that’s a nearly impossible task, but AC/DC was quick to try with 1981’s ‘For Those About to Rock We Salute You.’ The album’s biggest highlight came with the title track, an absolute giant anthem to rock and roll and its fans. The track has since gone on to become one of AC/DC’s setlist mainstays often closing out shows with the firing of multiple cannons. It’s hard not to salute this absolute gem whenever you hear it.
5. “Thunderstruck” – ‘The Razors Edge’ (1990)
ShareFor a band known for having a lightning bolt in its logo, it’s rather funny that one of their biggest and best songs invokes thunder. AC/DC ushered in their ‘90s era with “Thunderstruck,” the lead single off of ‘The Razors Edge’ and one of the band’s strongest singles in their catalog. There are hooks galore in this song, from Angus Young’s opening riff to the repetitive group vocal of “ah-ah ah ah ah-ah ah ah.” The song also spawned a fun drinking game where participants take turns drinking with every utterance of “thunder.” If you were the unfortunate soul that got stuck drinking at the start of the second verse, well...perhaps the drinking game wasn’t so fun.
4. “You Shook Me All Night Long” – ‘Back in Black’ (1980)
ShareYou know it, you love it and you’ve likely sung it in the shower. “You Shook Me All Night Long” is one of the most magical hard rock songs ever because of its ability to appeal to picky hard rock fans AND those with more mainstream sensibilities. Of course, its lyric-packed appeal was almost jeopardized when producer Mutt Lange told Brian Johnson to space out the lyric and slow down the delivery. Johnson would later say in an interview that he did record a version of the track per Lange’s suggestions, but as soon as Malcolm Young heard it, he was not having it. “I did it like that, and then Mal heard it and said, ‘What the f--- is this?!’” according to Johnson. We should all be grateful that Malcolm Young lost it in that moment.
3. “Shoot To Thrill” – ‘Back in Black’ (1980)
ShareFour songs from ‘Back in Black’ were released as singles, but “Shoot to Thrill” easily could’ve been the fifth or even could’ve been subbed in as the fourth instead of “Rock And Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution.” (All due respect to that killer track.) A fan favorite for decades, “Shoot to Thrill” follows “Hells Bells” as track two on ‘Back In Black’ and helps transition the album’s mood from somber to fun. Plus, it has that sweet breakdown before the song is brought to its epic close on the wings of a wild solo from Angus Young. Of course, it’s difficult to think of this track and not think of Tony Stark. If a song is good enough for Iron Man, it should be good enough for everyone.
2. “Back in Black” – ‘Back in Black’ (1980)
ShareAs far as riffs go, they don’t get more iconic than the opening of “Back In Black.” Whether you’re playing an actual guitar or an air guitar, plenty of people have rocked out to that riff for 40 years, and there’s no sign of that stopping. “Black In Black” is another track that pays tribute to the late Bon Scott. Brian Johnson, who was already given the difficult task of replacing Scott, was then tasked with coming up with some lyrics for the track and came up with, “I got nine lives, cat's eyes/Abusing every one of them and running wild.” Needless to say, he nailed it.
1. “Hells Bells” – ‘Back in Black’ (1980)
ShareNo other AC/DC song sounds quite like “Hells Bells.” From the moment you hear the first clang of that big, ominous bell, the band has your attention. Steady and menacing, Brian Johnson, Angus and Malcolm Young, Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd are all dialed in perfectly, as is the presence of Bon Scott. No other AC/DC song is as poignant as “Hells Bells” and rightfully so. This is the sound of a band saying goodbye to their fallen friend, but in true AC/DC fashion, they managed to do all that while never losing their edge.
