i usually grab an extra pair of ear plugs from work. they're not the fancy musician ones with filters or whatever though, they muffle the shit out of EVERYTHING. we've gone to custom fitted ones but mine are out for repair, maybe i will have them back by the Buffalo show and i'll try 'em.Originally Posted by devildawg
i think i wore plugs at the beginning of the '07 Montreal show but i took them out, didn't seem so painfully loud in the 12th row.
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
Me neither...it sounded a lot better live than it was watching my vids. I was surprised. We were so fucking close, it was really loud.
I did the same, a victim of bad reviews and the eight hundred pound elephant in the room.......my fear that the magic was lost. I didn't want those childhood posters pinned on my bedroom wall to get pissed on....

this rehearsal sucked at some points and it surely wasn't Dave's best night...but that's why it's called rehearsal and not premiere...but after hearing the intro to China Town I hope I never have to read about some piped in bass anymore! heycan you hear me out there?

Allegedly it's a kill switch... allows Ed to turn off the outgoing signal on the fly.
"If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”
It's not a kill switch as much as it's a button he uses for the Randy Rhoads on/off effect...
Ed used it on You Really Got Me...
I noticed more than one RR sounding solos on ADKOT... maybe Wolf is playing guitar on some tracks as opposed to Ed playing bass.
Isn't a kill switch just an on/off toggle..?
Correct, sir.

Truly great singers don't even need a microphone. Truly great singers don't even need to sing. They can just beam their vocals directly into your brain using a psychic Vulcan mind-meld vocal link.
Right?
Come on. That is one of the most idiotic statements I have ever heard.
That is like saying a truly great guitar player does not need to play a Les Paul. Or a truly great drummer does not need a crash cymbal. Or a truly great keyboard player does not need to play a synthesizer.
But then, we get all kinds around here.
Have a nice day.
So true
I had some crazy vision, one I can't deny it
It said "Open your eyes. Leave it all behind."
You know who also used a microphone stand? Gary Cherone! Case dismissed and the headphone mic stays.
Yeah you could call it a stutter switch/button but a more accurate name is probably a momentary switch. It's a neat effect but I still like using the toggle on a Les Paul to do it. I like the feel better and control of a toggle vs a button but each has it's pros.Correct, sir.

What do you mean a truly great guitar player does not need to play a Les Paul?? That is not true at all.

You're both wrong.... He was born in '54, he's 57 right now, turns 58 in October....
Hmmmm. I always thought they lied about their ages by two whole years. Dave was always listed as born in'55. Sorry. Been wrong before. But let me tell ya, it's rare! Not really.
I thought it was '55
The thing about lying about their ages in the early days is interesting. Ed once said - in the post-Dave Van Hagar era when they were at loggerheads - that Dave was the one who always wanted to be in his 20s forever.
But when you look at it - it was Ed who had the most age knocked off. The publicity machine used say he was born in '57, when in fact he is only three months younger than Dave (his birthday is Jan. 55, and Dave's is Oct '54).
Dave used to knock a year off his age, Ed two years - and Al and Mike were honest!!
THINK LIKE THE WAVES
Somebody get Dave on the horn.
Interesting...I've been stalking him since '81 and all the mags reported '55 for him, Alex and Mike A., '57 for Eddie. But in googling...well, it's all different.
But - http://www.amazon.com/David-Lee-Roth/e/B000APZPEG - on the right, the bio says '55.
Who knows for sure.......
Fixed
“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”
sources, anyone? I have seen his birthdate listed several times as October 10, 1955,
but if they have been lying about their ages, who knows how many internet sources may be off....
Just curious, VA...where did you get the '54 date?
Wiki, Time,and 3-4 other sources say '55
Q103 says '54
digtriad and 1 other source i pulled up says October 9th, not 10th....
*shrug*

Dave nails it in his book - in his own words - 'I was born in Bloomington, Indiana, October 10, 1954' (p. 11)
And in the video interview with DLR, Ed and Al - posted here last week - Ed says 'we left Holland in 1962, when I was seven', or words to that effect.
The incorrect dates of birth still circulate, because journalists and the like look at old clippings and bios
What do you think? I fuckin' called Dave and asked him !!
Ah the book! Well that settles that. Hey Scraps, what on Earth is going on in your new Avatar? Can't make it out on my gadget.
What do you think? I fuckin' called Dave and asked him !!
lol...works for me!
That's 'me' standing in front of the Reverend Al, saying 'Don't try this at home kids'. As is below.
I've done it & could still hear the music just fine. I always take a pair in the pocket and then decide once a show starts. I got tired of getting in my car the next morning only to jump out of my skin when the stereo came on loud enough to wake God. DAMN! I swear it was at a normal volume on the drive home.
Plus I've had shows where my ears rang for many days after. And that sucked. It all depends really on where you are sitting whether you should pop em in or not. Can't hurt to take some though.
It's funny to see Al these days - and for a long time - because he was a crazy bastard back then.
Did you ever see any of those documents floating around the internet relating to Van Halen hotel damage, while on tour back in the late 70s / early 80s? Alex was the main culprit - holes in the hotel walls was his speciality.
Alex was a maniac he had the devil in him, or maybe... was he the devil partying and killin those drums??
Show me where I said that. I never said that. LEARN TO REED ENGRISH!
