[Von Halen]

Fucking KILLER!

What this band is doing with the setlist on this tour is just fucking great. If they throw out LUTS at one of these shows, I will jizz myself.

While nothing they would do at this point, would surprise me, I am grateful they are still surprising me. Make sense?

[So this is love]

Seriously, I would have never traded off HAIL for Jamie`s Cryin but its still a nice addition... I like Blood and fire too...

But HAIL is my favorite VH song of all time

[ELVIS]

Luts ??

[Mr Walker]

Luts ??

Damn... what the fuck happened to that guy?
Von Halen, he was your best friend wasn't he?

[Mr Walker]

Ditto... It would have been cool to be surprised, but not sure if I'd want to give up hearing my favorite VH tune.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Luts ??

You lost your Van Halen song acronym card ??

[ELVIS]

I must have misplaced it...

Send me a new one, please ?

[Von Halen]

Damn... what the fuck happened to that guy?
Von Halen, he was your best friend wasn't he?

He's around!

[Mr Walker]

Come on, Dave...give us a break...

Let's hope Dave just wanted to have a little time to get his head around the song and the lyrics before he performs it... maybe he didn't want a 'Hang Em High' moment where he had to use a piece of paper to do the song.
I know if I were going to the DC or Shittsburgh show this week, I'd be walking around with a 'Light Up The Sky' erection for the next few days.

[ELVIS]

Not if Dave thought the words were look at that guy...

[private parts]

blood and fire anyone? huge thanks to dan -amazing/goosebump vid

I got the goosebumps too! Killer fuckin killer!

[private parts]

It's maybe just too high for him now...

I think that song and chorus would be hard for anybody to reach especially after singing 12 songs. Blood and Fire is the theme song for this whole tour and album release
so they gotta play it!

[ELVIS]

It is ??

[private parts]

It is ??

Well that's my interpretation of the song. Make it yours

[Mr Walker]

Dave is sounding pretty hoarse again.

Yep...and I hope, like we all do....that all this points to another 50 dates being added to this kick-ass tour, real soon!

From Lou... Roth remains the weak link though he was better tonight than in Atlantic City. He at least pretended he wanted to be there, he engaged the crowd...

I'm a bit puzzled by this remark. Has anyone seen a show whereby Dave appeared to be mailing his enthusiasm in? Sure, he's clearly getting his throat kicked in with the non-stop-barrage sets they've been doing, but pretending to want to be there? Doesn't sound like the Dave I had seen.

[damngoodtimes]

I've been laughing all day about that post from sadaist with the picture of the former Peggy Mills McCartney.

Nice to see LOUise is still a cluebag!

Don't worry about Lou. He'd rather be having 12 hours of tantric sex with Sting....

[philouze]

I'm surprised no one noticed that the Blood & Fire backing vocals were Bozolewski's, piped in.









Wolf is fuckin Dan-ge-rous.
Gotta love that kid.

[Catfish]

Damn... what the fuck happened to that guy?
Von Halen, he was your best friend wasn't he?

Von Halen doesn't have any friends!

Damn--everyone's bagging on Reading, PA., but then the boys came out and shocked the world there, eh? I think Blood and Fire is a dumb song, but I'm fired up they added it! I don't recall Jamie's Cryin' being played during the last tour, but they're saying it was?

[DLR Bridge]

Yeah, Wolf sounds great, but I too think his high reaching tone in this song live is throwing Dave a bit of a curve ball. I'd love it if Ed would chime in with his growl on that chorus but I'm thinking he's staying away from it because the vocal melody is different from the guitar melody.

[Catfish]

Just read on twitter than Jamie's Cryin replaced HAIL and Blood and Fire replaced Trouble With Never.

That's a shame about Trouble with Never being replaced, even if it's for a new song. They should be adding more ADKOT songs and taking off shit like Pretty Woman.

[philouze]

May you be heard, my friend. But I doubt it. That shitty song (never liked it, sorry) has been a hit. No way they'll drop it. The only time I've listened to it on this tour was when Dave stopped the fight. And I switched to the next song when they played it again.
Once again, I fuckin hate Pretty Woman.

[Catfish]

I don't hate Pretty Woman, per se, I just find it a bit uninspired live. Now, if they kicked it off with Intruder, I'd blow a load in my underoos!

His pal LUTS was a big Hagar fan if I remember correctly.

Well, yeah, he was friends with Von Halen... They used to go to Van Hagar shows together. I recall that one photo of the two of them in the VIP section during the 'Balance' tour.

[Catfish]

I'm gonna be fucken mad if they play Blood and Fire instead of The Trouble with Never at my VH shows!

[hambon4lif]

Good fuckin' grief!

Is that true??

[TJMKID]

Once again, I fuckin hate Pretty Woman.

It's not a fav of mine, either ---- but I was at the Louisville show and saw a lot of MILFs getting down to it ---- got to appease the females also, bub

[Catfish]

Good fuckin' grief!

Is that true??

Yeah, it was pretty fucked up. They had tour shirts on and were giving devil-horn signs. Devil horn signs at a Van Hagar show???

How enlightening! I just ate lunch, so I'm quite sure I don't want to hear the details of their little aftershow party at the Blue Oyster.

[moose]

Holy cow! You could knock me over with a feather ...they played Blood and Fire??????


What's next.... "As Is" or "Stay Frosty"?...... (hear me scream!!!!!)

Imagine that, both tunes and then give us

"Bottoms up"!

[fourthcoming]

Honestly, I met Lou at Atlantic City, real nice guy. I have to admit, he was right about Dave and the A.C. show.....I was thinking....maybe the band or Dave in particular were just tired. Let's face it, their not spring chickens anymore. The show was definitely streamlined and quickened. You could tell Dave's voice was raspy, he had a drink of water during one of the songs to help his voice. I even noticed on one of the videos I took that Dave was clearing his throat in between sinsging the lyrics. Don't get me wrong, I never thought I would be going to shows with Dave and VH...and I'm grateful, but his timing was definitely off on some tunes and they need to take China Town out of the set and replace it with a different new song. It's a bad ass tune but honestly, Dave butchered it in A.C. The one positive to Dave's voice catching up with him was he really didnt try to strain his voice too much with the upper register and kept his tone where it belongs. Maybe I'm comparing the A.C. show too much to the MSG shows, especially the second one....but there was definitely not the same electricity. Still enjoyed the hell out of the show. I don't think Dave was mailing it in, but I do think it was probably agreed by the band before the show....hey, let's grind through this one and move on to the next city. Not that they mailed it in, but it was more of a business first approach. I'm sure their not the first band to do that.

my buddy just called - blood & fire!!

nice!!

Liar!

LUTS is an Ed fan. He was just more tolerant of who was fronting the band, than some of us. At least he isn't a poseur like Coonfish. Go back to "rapping" with your new girl. In fact, post a picture so I can bukkake this one too! I don't know that I have ever bukkake'd a colored gal.

[sob33316]

Here it is.....Blood and Fire!!! Including "I told ya I was coming back!!!"

Between "look at all the people here tonight" and "i told you i was coming back" how can this not be a favorite!!

[sob33316]

So is she......

LMFAO!!!
That was awesome!!
