Official July 5 Seattle, WA, White River Amphitheatre Meetup/Review Thread

[Von Halen]

I bet you have a ticket to see the VH tour.

I seriously do not. I want to go to the Red Rocks show, but it's not looking good. Fucking JFR and Curtlingus won't give me an answer.

I will maybe hit the show here, but not even sure about that one, at this point.

[Von Halen]

I recall once sending you an invitation on the Facebook to become my friend and you ignored it. That hurt my feelings, old friend.

I don't even have Fagbook. I deleted that shit. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

Did he know it was you though? Do you have a pic of your girlfriend as an avatar?

[WARF]

Dave doesn't want to be Ed's friend.... Check...

Sesh doesn't wanna be catfish's friend... Check

Lol

[Catfish]

Oh, man. I don't want to derail this worthwhile thread, but that scoundrel Von Halen did ejaculate on her face and then post it at DDLR.com. I actually took that as a badge of honor at the time.

[Nitro Express]

Like I've said, going to a VH show is always a good time.

But as far as what people heard via youtube? Remember last tour when people kept saying "you can't judge what Dave sounds like from a youtube video!!" And then the live record came out...and it sounded exactly like the youtubes only clearer.

I'm hoping Dave's gonna get in shape vocally over the first few shows. There were plenty of good moments in the videos I've seen so far, plenty of clunkers too. But it is the first show, after all. The damn band sounds incredible.

I heard the sound at the Seattle show was fantastic. The band sounded great. Dave got an A for effort but age is taking it's toll. My friend wanted to catch the Portland show after seeing VH last night but a little thing called work got in the way. Ed is sounding fabulous and the set list has some songs we haven't heard live since the 80's. The venues are smaller but the tickets are cheap. I'm hearing it's a good night out.

Did she?

Wait a minute, this is even worse than I remember. I thought it was on a picture of her I didn't realize it was on her face and then he took the pic.

No wonder you were so annoyed...

[Von Halen]

Yes, and I still have the pic!

[Catfish]

Yes, and I still have the pic!

Post it!!!!!!!

Ummm... fuck...

[Seshmeister]

Are you still with that lady?

[Von Halen]

Are you still with that lady?

No, he's not. The sweet succulent Von Halen jizz ruined her. For him anyway.

Can we get back on topic now?

[slimdon]

Start watching this at 10 minutes as Ed works out a way to get across to Wolf.

I don't think you need to be an expert in body language psychology here...

Ed was walking around Dave's dance floor.

[Von Halen]

Ed was walking around Dave's dance floor.

Would it break up the band if Ed slipped on that dance floor, and fucked up his hip?

[DONNIEP]

Would it break up the band if Ed slipped on that dance floor, and fucked up his hip?

Probably not. But I'd bet money he'd hit Dave over the head with his geetar as soon as he got back on his feet.

[cadaverdog]

At any time last night did anyone see Dave and Ed or Dave and anybody else even aknowledge the other person was there? I saw Ed and Wolfie sing out of the same mic but as soon as Dave started moving that way Ed hauled ass.

[TwoFoolsAMinute]

Wait. Can I be Catfish's Facebook friend?

Review said Ed and Dave fist bumped and then shook hands later.

[DONNIEP]

"About four or five songs in, Ed and Dave fist bumped and that feel-good moment made the crowd happy. We all know about their history, so to see them once again connect like this on stage was special"

No offense to the author, but a fist bump is connecting and special? Hahahahah! I'd say it's pretty much the exact opposite. I don't care if they even look at each other. At this point the whole "ooh, Dave and Ed are onstage together again" has pretty much worn off.

[twonabomber]

So has the "will the tour make it to the end?" but the RS article is full of that.

[BumBahDeeDah]

That fucking Electric Boogaloo thing is 10-times bigger than it was last time. How the fuck will the rest of the band move around without hurting themselves? That fuckin thing should have some cones or signs on it, Ed's on a new hip for Christ's sake.

I think it's the same size, but the stage is smaller.

[DONNIEP]

So has the "will the tour make it to the end?" but the RS article is full of that.

Yeah no doubt. I'd bet money it will make it to the end, so long as they're physically able to keep going. "It's the lure of easy money - it's got a very strong appeal"

[Catfish]

As the hugest DLR dicksuck in the history of the Internet, I'll even say I've had it with his slip 'n slide thing and now those goddamn bowling shoes. What the fuck? That fucking Electric Boogaloo thing is 10-times bigger than it was last time. How the fuck will the rest of the band move around without hurting themselves? That fuckin thing should have some cones or signs on it, Ed's on a new hip for Christ's sake. Isn't there a civic law about that stuff? That sliding around shit was cool at first but I'm tired of it. Next thing you know the son of a bitch is going to take the stage in ice skates.

Wait. Can I be Catfish's Facebook friend?

Probably not.

[Jetstream]

Probably not. But I'd bet money he'd hit Dave over the head with his geetar as soon as he got back on his feet.

Fucking Kodak moment baby, and then Dave would kick the shit out of him and then Dave would stand still and go what the fuck and the geetar would jar his memory... he would start singing really cool, his hair would start growing back, the screams would return and a fucking rainforest of hair would sprout even on his layered tattoo chest and Wolf would be like wow lol

[TwoFoolsAMinute]

Probably not.

ED!!! Hit Dave over the head!! Greatness is just one skull crack away!!

That was the most ridiculous shit I have read here in a long, long time.

You should log in more

[BumBahDeeDah]

Sigh......any In A Simple Rhyme videos out there?

[Jetstream]

You should log in more

I even left out the part with the Kung Fu grip sprouting out of Dave's arm which he then applies to shattering the slip and slide dance floor

[FALCO]

As a total Dave or Graver, the bottom line for me (my $.02 for what it's worth and basically stating the obvious) is that the VH3 are absolutely KILLING IT... No question they are a fine oiled machine and Wolf Van Halen really has brought Van Halen back to MONSTER form with his choices of songs, etc.

David Lee Roth, if he continues to strain and go into even higher registers that I didn't think was possible in certain songs will definitely not last the tour (I cannot fathom singing like that night after night, my vocal cords are hurting just listening to it) ... It has been stated quite a few times (and I am finally going to concede) DLR is what he is now...

There will be NO return to the '07/'08 Diamond David Lee Roth swagger and voice ... even in Feel Your Love Tonight (which was pretty cool) he just goes off on these ridiculous tangents note wise and from what I heard of the DTNA clip and also a bit of Little Guitars, he is all over the place... I still feel were he to sing in regular register he wouldn't be so bad, but... it seriously would also have helped had he actually made the effort to rehearse and learn his own fucking lyrics. And STOP with the fucking "you cant tell what it sounds like over a cell phone bullshit" ... it's close... it's recorded from the fucking show... not suddenly going to sound a million times better... maybe clearer, but Dave will still be yelping like Dave... funny, I see old vids from the past with way less quality equipment and DLR sounds great... so just stop with the stupidity...

I actually had high hopes after seeing LUTS, figuring he reigned himself in, but that was foolish hope, lol...

That being said, I think it will be worth the $20 lawn seats here in South Florida just to enjoy the power of the band (and play in my head the way DLR should be sounding)

[ThatArtGuy]

So basically the two people in this thread that were at the show, you and the Rolling Stone reporter liked it a lot more than the people who only saw it on YouTube smartphone footage...again.

Didn't you see my review comment?
