Looks like a fuckin' great crowd! Love it!
Told ya I was comin' back... Say you missed me... Say it like ya mean it!
I know - it's really hard coming down from a show, isn't it? It's been awhile for me, so I'm used to being here for the shows now, but the first couple after my shows were tough! I'm actually going to see a VH tribute band tomorrow night - gotta get something while I wait for them to come back to my area in July!
Got my fingers crossed for you, Light 'Em Up
thought you guys would appreciate this one!
Damn it is great to have a sober Eddie Van Halen wailing and Dave got rid of the stupid head microphone. #Vanhalen— Philip Wallace (@wallyb1966) April 28, 2012
Either she's quoting Dave from MSG or he's repeating himself - definitely said this at MSG - I think night 2 (3/1)

ok ,maybe America is in a recession...but why am I already out of Thanks a th RA.......Come on David give me a break......1 break comin' upppppp
BTW - there are a couple of CB's and douches tweeting but I refuse to give them airtime at the RA - f'in sheep!
Ummm.....I don't feel bad for you. In the last couple months you have seen Van Halen more than I have ever or ever will see them in my entire lifetime. So, yeah...you aint got it all that rough
ps - I think you might have a slight VH/Dave addiction problem. There is no cure. Like Keith Richards once said, the problem with addiction is supply. Luckily for you it's being supplied in heavy doses right now.
Nashville fuckin' TN... Yeah I had a few beers.
The mighty Van Halen. Can I get an AMEN (from the ding doink out front, that is...)
My karma just ran over your dogma.
Everybody wants some. I want some too! Yeah that just happened too! Lol— Bradley H Koger (@cortezdakilla) April 28, 2012

There are very, very few legacy rock and roll bands that approximate their heyday better than Van Halen are doing. Rush is probably the only other band right up there too. I saw The Police in 2007-08 on that reunion tour and while Stewart Copeland was still awesome, Sting and Andy Summers had lost a LOT off their fastballs to the point where some songs were barely recognizable. I was pretty let down having heard all the old bootlegs and then listening to bastardized songs. But I guarantee you those shows got better reviews than the Van Halen ones on the whole because I think that band has generally been looked at favorably over the years whereas VH have always gotten a hard time for whatever reason.
I think it's because there are still a lot of people out there that don't get Van Halen and never will. DLR is an acquired taste, no doubt about it, and some people just can't adjust. They want good technical singing which was NEVER what Van Halen was about. They're not complaining because the band can't play anymore, they're complaining about the way the band has always been and using their ages and legacy status as an excuse. They're ignorant people. I don't think it's particularly hard to understand--DLR is from the Bon Scott school of lead singing where it's all about showmanship, humor, wit and flair. Most of the time that style doesn't work but with those two bands it sure as hell did.
Just remember the joke's on them. Few people read newspapers and far less are reading some no-name bozo's twitter comments and giving a crap about them.
Thank you for whoever reloaded my thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!love ya
