Smart ass!WOW! Best guitarist ever to be in Roths band bar none.
Told ya I was comin' back... Say you missed me... Say it like ya mean it!
You know, I was looking for your damn video of DTNA when I stumbled across that video, so you better just watch or yourself! LOL!
I take it there were no surprises last night.
Surprise!
From the later start to all 4 walking out in all black you knew something was different tonight. Honestly pegged this as being a by the book walk that was going to just be tight great performance, more to appease scrutiny and dissolve any questions of ability and varried quality. Same set as Denver and other than that there was Nothing this show would resemble the last four months or '07/8 for that matter.
LOUD, Metallica loud, rattle the organs style and clean as silk sound.
HOT, no other way to put it. While walking concourse wife says its muggy in here, it was only time the ice musta melted as people panted from the heat, worth every inch of the soaking. I don't sweat easy and basically wore wet towl like the rest of barn.
CROWD, usually you get a combo of dead tools and Fair amount of Balance washouts. Last tour people were dormant and dead for the most part with the LA too cool thing. Entire floor and bowl on feet 95% the time, there was that elusive spirit not happening most tour and Last round, found in L.A. Of all places. The Spirit was like 1981, wasn't drunk at all this was the magic connection only found at a CVH concert that can only happen with This Band and an audience being ONE. They were 1000% immersed in the most fun they and fans have even recalled in 30 years, so much so my wife went from mediocre fan to diehard and it only took 20 years to get there. The bant was basking in this intangible magic crackle and they were all having the times of their lives. Think this had to blow their minds too, they were so taken in the good time the expressions on them were that Holy Fuck WOW look, Ed was the one that showed it the most, hoping got some decent pics. Don't know how any videos going to really define this as being there is so much part of the description. For my wife to be changed by a VH show is only way to really touch the intensity, it was an experience never thought I'd feel again, the best time to try and see the band joy is end of ATBL. Jumping, Hugging, Running, Screaming last seen in 1984, they didn't want it to end and you didn't want it to end and seemed they were about to unleash a surprise, certain if not for programmed light sound etc. would have gone for more, this as new Stay Frosty graphic rolled by. Moving Magic like Wolf only ever heard about until last night.
QUALITY, An Old School VH Cleansing! Minor Dave rough tips but as a band, Flawless hope to God this has enough crew footage for DVD, it's the GRAIL! New video effects for solos not seen any other youtubes, more than amped for next Sat as the other songs will be involved and it's time to remove TWN for Blood and Fire, we are ready for the premiere of Light Up the Sky and times right for Stay Frosty after ATBL to clock an even 2 hr. show.
WOLF, thanks for Everything without you this would not be in any reality!
CONCERT, if next Sat is last time in L.A. so be it they just reclaimed rightful ownership as the Mighty VAN HALEN, indisputably so. All straight in your face VH, no colored cloths or props, just blistering ass kick.
What an Honor, Treat and Privelage to be a part of June 1st, 2012. Wolf had his Kings bass as the walls of Staples echo further greatness that by this time next weeks show may be Stanley Cup celebration and our beloved VH just raised their banner they used to own at the Forum. One week from now will be round two and I may just leave it at that and skip OC and S.D.
TODAY,Feeling that VH afterglow just like the old days......no words can justify last night, it took 30 years but it was the Show. At this day and age only way they can be better is hearing and mixing the setlist. Sinners Swing, Light Up the Sky, Take Your Whiskey Home and You Guys have great disc, unleash those and expose these folks to the musical genius too many haven't even heard......Thanks VH, best there's ever Been!
Time to see if got any good pics, look at YouTubes and see what critics interpreted. Will post any good pics or vid if worthy, now it's Kings and Kopitar
That is fuckin hysterical!! I LOVE THAT MAN!!!
Stay Frosty!
THE DAY IS DONZO LET'S HAVE SOME FUNZO!!

Ah, you misunderstood my post.
Just kinda burned out on how THEY got Dave back. Maybe Dave got THEM back? I know, it kinda follow the band name. But it ain't Van Halen without David Lee Roth.

Not in a row....since Hannukah! LOL!!!42 days classic
Expertly marketed ??
They looked super pumped to play their backyard... Wish I coulda hit that show.....ROTH RULES.... Celtics over the heat tonite, I hope....
lol I know this vid is funny ..but english not being my first language I 'll have to go through it 8 times before I fully understand ...Damn it!
Now who`s that babe with the fab-u-lous shad-ow?
What's your native language?
French
Aww....well, if it were German we could speak that way :-) Swiss German is my native language...
I attended a german class but never got the chance to practice so lost everything I learned

I hate to say this, guys, but I was well, somewhat disappointed in Friday's show. Maybe I expected too much....after all, this was their homecoming gig and I expected to be BLOWN AWAY like I was in 2007
BUT, Juice (who I went with) and I felt that the band did not bring their A game to the show...it felt like the band was kinda going through the motions; maybe they wanted to get home early.
I was disappointed that Alex's drum solo was so short! No, not so that I could go out and get a beer, but because his drum solo was AWESOME in 2007. I wanted to get into it, but it wasn't a long enough solo.
Another disappointment was in Roth! (and I really hate to say this, since I am a big fan of his!) A lot less acrobatics than before; he seemed to me to be not very into the show - going through the motions. Not the happy, almost giddy (and very sexy) Roth we had during 2007.
Momshell, I hate to tell you this, but there was no "ass-cam" during Tattoo!!! I was looking forward to seeing that! Also, I would have loved it had Dave dropped "Ice Cream Man" (yes, I know that it is his trademark song) but played STAY FROSTY instead! It would have brought the house down!
(I thought they WOULD do Stay Frosty, since a Stay Frosty graphic was shown on the background screen).
BUT, not everything is lost....it WAS a good show overall. Just not a KILLER show. Hell, there is NOTHING like hearing Unchained LIVE... and Ed's solo was FANTASTIC. The new color background graphics were great; however, Juice said they didn't show enough of Ed on the background screens. And the crowd was definitely energetic and into the band.
So, am I going to see VH again? You bet your sweet potato! Seeing them for their last home show June 9th! And I hope Our Man Roth DOES remember to show us his Tattoo!
I'm Stayin' Frosty!
Vielen Dank!
Found some great footage of Dave's Evelyn story..great interplay between him and Wolf. But of course as the dicks in the media or on facebook would say, everyone hates each other. The schtick obviously went over big and they used it again in Oakland during Trouble With Never.
Pretty cool!
EVELYN! Where are you!!
Fuck Scott Weiland. Fucking asshole. I get trashed all the time and still go to work. And my job sucks ass. -ODShowtime
