I agree. Dave's smegtacular "performance" and a total lack of a desire to even attempt to sing the songs properly is definitely the most negative thing about Van Halen. Nothing has produced as much negativity in the history of Van Halen (Hagar included) as Dave's pissformance on the live album and this tour.

He's driven not only the casual fans away, but what's most damning is his success in even driving the most hardened "stuck-in-1984" pure Roth sack-worshipers away as well. I never thought in a million years that his last battalion of "to-the-grave" fans would desert him, but beside the 5 to 10 or so people who still post on this board regularly, Dave really HAS succeeded in murdering what was left of his dwindled credibility. And, even the last 5 to 10 people that still go ga-ga over him on this board actually sadly admit from time to time how much he has lost every ounce of what made David Lee Roth "David Lee Roth." There are still 2 or 3 holdouts that won't stop sucking at the tete of 1984 who actually type the word "swagger" in a serious way, but for the most part...even the most fanatical of Dave's followers have actually seen the light...or really, the pitch black sadness of the death of one's career simply because NO ONE CARES anymore. And the reason no one cares is because Dave simply doesn't care to even try. Because if he IS trying and he STILL sounds like a dying moon-possum being slowly crushed in a 90 ton hydraulic press, then what the hell is the point?

If at the beginning of a tour THIS board is deader than Ted Kennedy's booze-embalmed rotted beef-corpse, you KNOW something is literally dead in the world of DLR...in all actuality, that should be DNR.

You just moved up to premiere league troll.
This post alone moves you up with the greats like Flappo the grate!

That's a different kind of truth right there.

Dave's performances are just NOT acceptable...

And I'm gonna trash him until he gets his shit together !

It's a tough love..... DAVE OR THE FUCKING GRAVE!!

[WARF]

I'm gonna say another thing LOUD and fucking clear...

Make no mistake where my loyalty remains...

I have literally worshipped Roth since I was 5 years old...

I thought he was the coolest motherfucker in the world...

I saw my first Van Halen show in Jacksonville 1984 with autograph....

So fucking awesome... It's burning , embedded into my memory forever....

Never EVER spent a penny on Hagar...

So if this ship sinks im going down with the motherfucking toastmaster general....

Come on Dave get your shit together....

Even if you have to sit in a chair and just concentrate on belting out the classics...

And for the Hagarelli family....

Eat us and fucking smile!!!

Zep was together about the same time as CVH but they had the advantage of Page being a veteran rockstar from the get go. They were recording artists longer. If Roth had stayed with VH another couple years and albums would they have gotten to that level?

I think they are but just not enough of them.

2 albums out of 6 selling over 10 million copies. Hard to argue with that.

Dave butchering them works for me. It's his legacy. Up too him how he want's it to end.

Dave's legacy has unfortunately been sealed for all time by his performance on the live album.

A sad fact, but THAT'S what he's most known for nowadays...that, and of course for not yet coming out even at this late date when it's no longer a big deal (and blatantly obvious) as well as being the worst kept secret since the discovery of jizz hands.

[David'sPeeBroth]

The people who have been going to these shows seem to be enjoying them.

Yeah, this guy is "enjoying" THIS too:

Honestly...there are plenty of us who still give a shit..we're just sick of the negativity here so we haven't been around much.

The board software has always had an "ignore user" function. I am surprised that no one uses it.
