Wow. OK, so Vic just can't pull it off at all. I have no idea what he sounds like on any of Slappy's solo stuff cause I've never watched it. I just don't give two shits.

I think it's great that Hagar hires minorities but does he have to hire handicapped ones?
He obviously uses bar band level players so he can pocket more money.

Even if I weren't already biased...these guys showed up and played this shit , even with $15 tickets in a state fair parking lot, and I'd ask for my money back. Compare this to ANY ONE of the Kimmel shows...live before your bleeding ears...absorbing the greatness that is Dave and VH, even at 60 years old...then tell me with a straight face that Hagar has any kind of fucking point whatsoever.
Hey, I'll admit there's some spots on the Tokyo Dome album that made me cringe...Dave 2015 is not the Dave from 1981...
Even then, still NO fucking comparison. I'd pay ticket price to stand in a field and watch Dave drink a bud light and run his dogs before I'd support whatever this other shit is that Ham is calling a band. Remind me who's fans are getting ripped off on tickets again?

That guy has never been able to sing in key. He is flat practically always. Yay him.

Which I would also like to add, which one? Sammy or Mike because they are both way off. People it seem now think that singing at a high octave automatically makes something good, as if they live in Middle East where a man able to sing in a pitch like a woman is a mark of excellence. Mike is singing way too damn high on the back vocals and he has done that in the past as well. And for all the quote 'genius' of Edward on guitar, he has a significant importance to the background vocals of Van Halen as well and it is his midrange which provides the balance for the harmonies and the depth. Weird ass tongue cancer Eddie is the trademark foundation of those harmonies along with Roth (and this is important because Roth sometimes has other things on his mind than singing the chorus) which makes Wolf's high range attempts acceptable, though Wolf lacks the strength of the delivery which Mike has. Of course as a fan of the original lineup, I would like Michael back but he really is the most replaceable aspect of the group... oh, and Van Halen has always had an edge and been a little squared compared to the AOR norm and Sammy's deflated Circle shows he does not fit

Victor Johnson is a solid guitarist but most players can't play like Ed. Vic's tone is all wrong for Van Halen. Most of Ed's tone is in his hands but you need a warm sounding amp that has the hell driven out of it. If you have the wrong equipment and not the right touch it sounds awful. Victor was the guitar player in a band called The Bus Boys. You know they went on the road with a comedian by the name of Eddie Murphy and did the sound track for a movie called 48 Hours. Here's Vic in the 80's. As you can see he can play quite well (check it out at 3:20).

He looks uncomfortable playing. I think he must only ever practice sitting down and then tries to adopt the same hunched over stance when he's standing up.
Very odd.
