I get to see my first show of the tour tomorrow night at Mohegan Sun, then I get to play poker all night. (If I could only Lear Jet to Pebble Beach in the morning).
Anyway, I'm willing to bet there are not even 5 percent of fans who want to see "Pretty Woman".
Assuming there are some close to the band who check out this site, join me in your dislike of the song on this thread to see if we can get it dropped from the setlist. I know it'll never happen, but it's fun to pretend.
"Intruder" was enough on the Diver Down album. I honestly thought that was Pretty Woman's long intro.

um... you really think a few post's on this forum will result in a set change on a multi-million dollar tour??
Just send me a hundred bucks & I'll get a petition hand-delivered to my cousin the tour manager....

I will be there tomorrow night (section 114) and I want to hear Pretty Woman. I love their version of it. Would be great with Intruder in front of it too.
GREAT SONG!

I really like that song. In fact, I even love "Dancing In The Streets."
Don't mind it.
I liked that one better than PW.Originally posted by Nickdfresh

I really liked it when it came out, not overly thrilled with it now, would rather hear another original....but it was a hit.
Remember when they banned the video? Fucked up, I didn't see it for years and years.
I think Van Halen`s cover of pretty woman, is their greatest cover version of a song by a mile. They put their own stamp on that song, it has not dated, and I think they out did the original version!
I'd rather they drop "I'll Wait" instead of "Pretty Woman." They could replace "I'll Wait," with Hear About It Later or DOA or something.
Please be kind and tell a fan that hasn't had THAT much time online lookin gup VH stuff and who was not born yet when Dave was in the band the first go-round why they banned Pretty Woman on MTV. Please?

I totally agree. I dig the way they VanHalenized Pretty Woman and so did my dad. He was a huge Roy Orbison fan. That tune ranks up there with my favorite covers of all time.Originally posted by BrownSound1

LOL! It is definitely my least favorite Van Halen tune. I still wish they would bust out "Down In Flames," but I know that isn't going to happen.Originally posted by diamondsgirl

They don't even remember that...
I'd replace pretty woman with secrets

Maybe Dave wouldn't be quite so fucked up and Wolfs backround vocals wouldn't be as overpowering as MAs...but you get the idea...
In the video, they had this girl tied up with these midgets groping her and shit. Parents said they were about to have sex with her. LOL. At the end of the video, the "girl" takes off her wig, and its a guy.Originally posted by DirtyDeeds

I wanna hear "Fire In the Hole" or "Without You." Then I can die in peace.
That would kill me too.Originally posted by Hummarstra

It's a fun 'sing along' kind of song when you see them live.. and it's quick too.. under 3 minutes.

Or even Ice Cream Man. PW is the best cover? No way.
Meet us in the future, not the pasture
Come on man.. The song is not that bad. You're barking up the wrong tree with this one.

Let's hope they do exactly that over the course of the next 2 months.Originally posted by BrownSound1

What cracks me up is that MTV banned the video because they felt it victimzed women...now look at the shit they have on there
