Looking Forward.
Sigh. I probably won't be able to. Shows are just cost-prohibitive anymore.
Well, as far as I am concerned it doesn't matter what goes on around this site, at meet ups, shows or anything outside of this internet box gizmo, everyone is welcome when I'm buying a round.Quote:

Oh, and I am only half as sexy as I let on.
Yeah, that's right, I am hotter than a out of control locomotive on fire.
j/k
I'm glad you mentioned you have dark hair... I would have been following all these red heads around with an empty cup.
So, anyone know why Ticketmaster has stopped selling tickets to this show?
Never mind. It's back.Quote:

I'm taking my kid to see Van Halen with Roth. This is not a thing I would ever have imagined would happen in my life. How great is it? He's about as excited about it as he would be to go to the grocery store. I can't wait until it hits him. I can't wait until he feels it. The MIGHTY VAN HALEN is back.
I am glad you will be able to share this with your son. Will be an awesome memory for you both to be sure!

There was Jack Daniels. There was a fucking your girlfriend joke. There were roundhouse kicks. There were screams. Ed got scared by a bug on the stage.
Fuck Youtube vids. Fuck Tokyo Dome. It ain't the same when you're there. Dave sings like that because he's singing hard. He's bringing it. The only song it bothered me even a little on was DTNA.
After their horrible showing in KC in 2007, this made me feel like I finally saw Van Halen live.
You heard right. I was cool though. Could have been much worse.Quote:

That is why I never wear glasses at a outdoor concert, it's fucking brutal man... listening and digging the music and then boom, some asshole hits me in the head with a beach ball and then I cannot spot him because my glasses have just been lost in the dark of the beer soaked ground lolQuote:

I tried to tell Flamma...
Yeah well it was the bands choice too play an out door tour. Aren't they all smaller ??? So they do something they want to have fun with and get savaged for it ?? Oh the age of the internet !! And fuck the critics !! Fan's ??? If you don't want to see your hero's at 60 stay the fuck home !! It's no secret Dave isn't the same guy from 07/08.Quote:

They aint less than 10k small, except Red Rocks.
I wonder I these outdoor venues are half the cost or less to hold the event? They have to be. Way easier setup as well...small stageQuote:

That venue looks pretty fucking full to me.

I think they wanted to play outside and have some fun. Then the critics go after them because they are playing smaller venue's ?? Big deal.Quote:

Some of these smaller venues sound better than the bigger ones. Yeah there seems to be plenty of tickets available but there still are good sized crowds and the band is playing great. I mean if you are a VH fan worth going. I might go to the Hollywood Bowl show.
A friend of mine saw VH in some outdoor venue in the Seattle area and he's like going holy shit the sound is great! It was one of those smaller outdoor venues that has the roof that goes out over the audience. He then saw RUSH at the Key Arena in Seattle (The old Supersonics arena) and he said the sound sucked. Not because their sound engineers suck but nobody ever sounds good there because it's a sports arena. These smaller venues are designed for music and you get better sound.Quote:
