That would've been a HELL-UVA setlist back in '84!of course +
This is the closest to a perfect setlist that I have seen from these guys...Now, I could do without She`s the woman, Chinatown, I`ll wait and drum solo. I would replace them with Fools or Secrets, Little Dreamer or Top Jimmy, STIL and HAIL.of course +
Now who`s that babe with the fab-u-lous shad-ow?
It's notable that Tattoo has gone.
WVH has Chinatown in there for the bass and I think he has earned that.
I'm still waiting for Sammy Hagar to take off his wig and clothes during a circle jerk concert like Dustin Hoffman in "Tootsie" revealing that he is Bette Midler...
Those videos look like Ed hates Dave, like an angry wife at a party who's just trying to keep up appearances. Dave looks like he wants to put his arm around Ed, then remembers the tension and decides to act like he's having a great fucking time. Except in reality, with these guys, they're making great loads of CASH.
Things have definitely soured even since Kimmel.
Sammy Hagar has been working on a Van Halen smear campaign for the last ten years, because Sam obviously watches American Idol religiously and most have gotten sucked into the routine. I can tell actual Van Halen fans by their nature to not overanalyze Van Halen, or rather not critique on a serious level at all. Van Halen is not a wine tasting contest, it is a couple of kegs of beer and Van Halen is like beer... anyone who bitches about beer at a party should not go to parties lol
I got lost in the...
I haven't had the opportunity to view the vids while at work. Please expound on your statement above,
Thanks...
-=T=-
Puts it in perspective for me. Thanks. At the same time, I'm in the beer business so I've complained about beer at a party before, so I'm all messed up.
Van Halen is touring, and you motherfuckers are still talking about Sammy Clichegar. Unfuckingbelievable. You guys keep him more relevant than the fucking redheads do.
LOL, it is just the popular music genre of the 5 minute song to me and it makes it hard for me to dissect it in a serious manner. I laugh when I hear people call Edward Van Halen 'Mozart' or a modern day 'Beethoven', my ass. The complexities and refinement of a classical composition is way beyond the capabilities of Edward and he is not Franz Liszt as a virtuoso. Popular culture songs are nursery rhymes for adults put to music... and the cradle will rock, be if Roth wants to throw a tantrum with his voice or not because he is a interesting hyper 60 year old kid
Would have been awesome in 07 when Dave was still carrying a tune..now the band is peaking and Dave,well.....That would've been a HELL-UVA setlist back in '84!
Watching the videos... seems the core issue is lack of practicing with his band mates. His timing is hit-n-miss... when he clowns around he tries to cram too much in and then misses his vocal marks. It just seems too obvious that Dave hasn't spent enough time with the Van Halens practicing... maybe it will improve over time.

you should see dale chirp about him on the rest of the interwebs...
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!!
That's an ERROR.
The last VAN HALEN tour was in 1984.
Yeah, that really sums it up.
Instrumentally, the band is playing well. The backing vocals sound good. LUTS, DDL and DM sounded great far as the 3 Van Halens went
Roth sounds decent when he sings the tunes. Problem is, he sings a verse properly, then yells out a verse in a strained yelp. And he's back to forgetting lyrics, or forgetting the sequence they go in. I mean, DM has, what, 8 verse lines? And Roth can't get them right? Not enough rehearsal? Does he need a teleprompter?
DDL sounded pretty good all-around, I must say. Even Dave stayed on point for that one.
Nothing I heard makes me want to go out and get tickets for the Tampa show. It's still a case of the Van Halens getting the job done and "Dave just being Dave"...which I think these days means he sings the tunes in a passable manner only 50% of the time. Avoiding yelling out the lyrics in that goddamed awful strained yelp is something easily correctable on Roth's part and is actually something that would not only put far less strain on his voice but would make the whole presentation sound much better.
Apparently, Roth has no interest in doing that, and I have no interest in seeing Dave sing badly between slip-n' slide antics and ascot-waving. So, there you go. A shame, because the Van Halens sound quite good.
Scramby eggs and bacon.
I found youtube footage of Dave warming up before last nights show....
I know this is a 2015 tour thread but I just gotta...only 8 short years ago..just no comparison..and spot on about the correctable yelp..fuck..I would almost lay money I dont sound much worse..
I couldn't make it through an entire clip of VH, but I had no problem watching that all the way through.
This guy should sue Dave for stealing his act.
I dare ANYBODY to get through that without tears in your eyes..
Fuck..almost made it til the fist pump/tilting claps into truckin..
We need a clap burst emjo thing

Great find....and listenable..
Even growth in there..nice
Jesus... the band sounds so fucking awesome and Dave sounds beyond horrible.... it's like hearing a band on fire with a horrible karaoke singer....
I wanna cry now...
You might wanna get your ears checked lol
Jesus Christ...
David Lee Roth
No kicks
Horrible vocals
horrible timing
looks disoriented on stage
There is really NOTHING left in him....
The greatest front man of all time is NOTHING now.... i'm not watching any more video..... i'm depressed.
I was hoping Dave got his voice together. He didn't. Maybe he can't. Or doesn't care. Some of it is o.k. But I think the less than mighty VH should call it a day after this tour. I love Dave but he is just not doing his job. He's old with an old voice. And I just don't see the excitement anymore. Sure the deep cut's are cool and the band sounds good but one of it's biggest pieces is only half there. It's not enough for me anymore. I'm sure they will pull off some good shows but some isn't good enough for me. Release the vaults of good shows and retire. My god most of that crowd looked bored out of their minds ! I didn't hate it but.............
Your cyco-babble all over this web site and your asinine comments in this thread are leveled with CUNT!
You want someone else to sing "DLR song" with VH and VH songs and then you will be what ..still a cunt.
You even have suggestions of who should sing them..better ? more in your asshole more up your shitter..HOW?
How far up your ass do you need it..?
If you were more of a cunt how much cunt would make you happy...?
Dear, -The Kristy-..when you wear those boots and walk that walk do you do it for me or do you do it for anyone ?
Take a lesson Phil the boots are made for walking and that is just what they will do.
Roth singing VH isn't for you or me...that's right slow kid it's for you.
There are 500K bands that can sing roth song Phil......go anywhere ...and enjoy.....miss this show go somewhere else to see what you want.
Search everywhere for what you want to hear,,complain more till you find that other band that plays this bands music...be somebody.
Do it now..I want this for you your pain is real...other bands playing this bands music makes you feel better...do it.
2015 once smoke 2 smoke ...poke

You know all about that!
In '07 DLR said "judge us harshly..." I'm wondering if he forgot he said that.
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
Kicks were your top priority?
Really?
That was 8 years ago and he brought his A game.You know all about that!
In '07 DLR said "judge us harshly..." I'm wondering if he forgot he said that.
I'm fine he can't move around as much. He is 60. It's the other stuff. Well his singing. He CAN correct it and just won't. He proves he can sing on one song then fucks up the next with that high register stuff. And all the yelping in between some of the line have too go. Yelp away from the mike if you need too do it !! I think he just doesn't give a shit. And I'm pissed at him for it. It's pure laziness from a guy who's only REAL job is too sing 50 show's every 3 years. I won't go see them. I'm sure they will do some good show's but they could be so much better.
What you will never understand is your comments woop..that is how you feel, you, are the fruitcake dancing in that vid, it isn't your describing of DLR that is you..your the one that is you.... that is what this music does to you .
You didn't get it back in 02 and you were completely off tilt in 2007 and you still can't see that this is you.
You aren't describing, pointing out.letting us in on your big secret, we already know.
