my buddy got tickets to the kimmel concert
Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!
In response to my Canadian buddy Big Trouble
How can we FANS sit idly by and watch this once MIGHTY band make fools of themselves
We've been through so much crap over the last 30 fkn yrs that we want them to do ONE GODDAMN THING right and all we've been seeing from them is Dave acting like a fkn kid, Ed sucking face with his dog Alex being Alex and Wolfie getting fatter by the day
Just bring MIKEY back, one tour one album and shut the fucking machine down for good
Until that day happens FUCK DAVE EDDIE AND ALEX

I know man, it's fucked up. Nobody could touch VH. and Dave? Loved him, LOVED him for everything he's done, except The Australia press embarrassment and the 2012/13 tour. Now this? Like other posters have said "they are going on tour, in support of a live album that was done on the last tour?" they are calling this the greatest hits tour... What the fuck was the last tour? Greatest hits plus 3? I dunno about this Kimmel and Ellen business either. A good press junket would've been a live Stern thing and announce a new record this summer, announce dates for late summer, release a single in the spring... ya know? But now all I can picture Moose, is Dave dancin' with Ellen and on Kimmel, well, fuck, there is a reason why Dave hasn't been on live tv with the VH bros in so many years... damn.. I see train wreck. But if they can pull this off somehow without losing whatever "might" they have left-kudos. But as a fan, I need Mike to come back and I need to hear new material.
Biggest bummer is no new material. I'm down with them trying new avenues, like these TV appearances, but the "greatest hits" theme for this tour is a bit of a snow job.
They did have to shorten their last tour due to Ed's medical issues. Likely playing many of the areas they missed last time out...I do see some correlation there.
Guys...they are older but are still killing it compared to their peers in "Rock" That says a lot of things, one of them how good they were.
Of course new material would be great. But then again, maybe if their 'best" fans wouldn't bitch and moan about the last album being rehashes of old demos perhaps the band might be more enthused about providing more. ADKOT was great, but we still found reasons to complain.
People complain here endlessly about the lack of press and promotion...well here they are with multiple appearances on TV...you can question Ellen, but Kimmel is a great idea. They are doing something pretty significant but still the criticism.
Dave shaved his head...how dare he...lol. Just listen to yourselves. Its pathetic

I for one never bitched about ADKOT I thought it was a great album and still do.
hey I had 'the hair" and now I'm fuckin bald and I give props to Dave for shaving his noggin...
BUT come on, touring to support a live album WTF is wrong with these boys?
We got our "partial" reunion, we got our album, we got 2 tours so whats it gonna take to get Michael back JC even that fucking guy,SH, who we can't stand agrees with us why can't those 2 retarded brothers stick their fkn tails between their fat asses and open the door for MA
Im sure that this tour will do well and it won't be a train wreck and it will pick up steam as it goes on but it won't and will not EPIC
I said it after I watched them in TO back in 2012 that if Mikey isn't back Im not going to see them new material or not and Im sticking to my guns
for those of you who are going enjoy!!
Yes,Yes And Yes.
First Roth Army Kiwi To See Van Halen Live 6/16/2012 Phoenix Arizona.
Crazy reading all the bitching & whining! If it's not about the Live CD it's about the TV appearances, WTH?!
Someone said the once Mighty Van Halen. Well They are still the Mighty Van Halen but now they're in their 60's!! And I think this is the last go around hopefully coinciding with them playing the Super Bowl!
Don't like the CD don't buy it! Don't like the TV appearances don't watch! Don't want to see them on tout don't go plan & simple!
Just stay listening to & watching old boots and keep it moving because saying the same ole same ole is played out!
Whatever, dude..
I don't buy that "if you don't like it,don't listen" crap. They are putting out products , and as consumers it is our right to complain if we do not like what is being offered. The live album is not intended to grab any new fans,it is for the fans they have. If we do not like it, why should we just accept it?. Ultimately it is us, the consumers, that afford Ed the luxury of going out and playing with his son or noodling in his studio, Dave to run around Japan getting stupid tattoos, and Alex to marry and divorce for the millionth time.
If you have bought any of their albums or contributed in any way to their financial success, you have every right to complain if you are not satisfied.
If you are happy, Carloscda, then good, I'm happy for you. But to use your logic, if you don't like "all the bitching & whining", don't read.
I really love you baby, I love what you've got
Let's get together we can, Get hot
I can only make one "thanks" show up under your post DB, so here's another. Ya nailed it.
i reserve the right to moan about the moaning , if said moaners are moaning about me moaning about their moaning well thats just them moaning.
fuck your fucking framing
i happen to be bald and actually think Dave looks great now. The last time I seen dave was with the Foo Fighters, and I actually thought it was pretty damn good. Im not a hater at all. ADKOT was weak. sorry, but it was. It was a good album, but not by VH standards really. The promotion they are doing is a good idea, just not Ellen. The live stint on Kimmel smells of disaster, but I will def be watching. Just the simple fact that we fans have waited 30 yrs, to have a less than stellar album, a weak tour that was cut short once, then twice, now a greatest hits tour to support a live album? C'mon man, nobody is criticizing for the fuck of it. these are real issues.
Id rather see Dave solo and Ed just do whatever he's doing with his kid. Sometimes leaving the past in the past works just fine.
and yeah, they are pretty good next to their peers, but really what is THAT saying? Are they good next to Sabbath on tour? How about the last Rolling Stones tour? Are they just as tight as U2 was on their last tour? Hell, even Rush was kick ass on their last tour. Maybe VH set the bar pretty fkn high and fans got a taste of what they could do; we've come to expect the best. Sorry but this isn't the best. Its not really even all that good. Ive worn out ADKOT- but the six pack, I could play for another 30 yrs.
God I hope they at least changed up the fuckn set list. Begins with Unchained, ends with ATBL and the encore is Jump. Any bets?
I think you're probably going to be right with those, unfortunately in the case of Jump....
But I also think that Wolf has done a good job of digging up the Original Six™ songs that hadn't been heard in over 30 years...
So I believe we'll see the setlist mixed up a little bit more....
Sure you're gonna hear the staples....
But I think they'll probably try to substitute a couple different songs from ADKOT, and 2 or 3 different oldies....
I really think we're gonna hear LUTS this time around, and hopefully DOA and DDL....

Edwad has nothing...
If he did, we'd have it...
The well is dry...
I said supposedly. I don't buy the story either or we wouldn't be getting this horseshit release.
I hear ya...
It's just that so many people still believe Edwad's crap...
No WAY will I purchase this live atrocity...
I'd be embarrassed to share it with anyone...
And I've been sharing Van Halen with people since I was THIRTEEN YEARS OLD !!!!!!!!!!!!
I owe my brother for my Van Halen exposure, I still fondly remember going through records and cassettes of his soaking it all in. For all the fluffy, cheesy crap they had in the 80s they also had some of the greatest rock bands in their prime during the decade, Van Halen being one of the best until spammy happened.
I don't even hate the Sammy stuff...
But I've lived it dude...
From promoting it to emulating it playing in bands...
All my life...
To HECK with the pretenders...
I really hope Dave is on his game on these upcoming live performances on TV...
That way he can walk away the hero...
I doubt they even have that...
they have...but have you ever had an idea while you were hammered? you think you have the biggest thing on earth and when you listen to it again the next day...well...you might see it from some different perspective. that will sort out 95% of the stuff in the vault...
Exactly...
I record myself all the time...
It's embarrassing to hear myself trying to play after a bit too much wine...
It's like a Sesh post...
