I think the videos taken right from below Roth are picking up a his vocal monitor and sound way worse due to the mix. Stage sound is always way shittier than elsewhere so those versions of the worst sung songs like JLP from that persons phone are now all over the social media with people astonished at how shit they think it is.
I know I'll just sound like an apologist but it's not a fair representation to find the worst footage of the worst sung songs and is kind of irritating to watch the trial by phone YouTube but whatever. It's kind of difficult to weigh into a Facebook thread of 20 people to explain that and say 'it's not complete shit its just a bit sub par and over half the set is totally fine considering'.
Also good to see live keyboards for the first time in how long which made me start to wonder if it's possible the backing vocals are live just really well rehearsed - with 4 people it's not impossible.Comment

That vocal performance is indefensible.Comment

UCL reports:
"The 65-year-old Roth was energetic, enthusiastic and engaging throughout,
understandably skipping most of the acrobatics and dancing of previous tours.
Sometimes he also missed notes, cues or occasionally, entire verses - most
notably on "California Girls," during which he broke out his now-famous "I
forgot the fucking words" apology."
Wonder if Eddie Trunk thinks DLR really forgot the words to CA Girls or maybe
now he's finally in on the joke?...

My advice to Dave. It’s over dude. Start pimping your skin care products. You invested a lot of money into that. Sell it! You’re Jewish for hell sakes. Show Sammy you are a better salesman than he is.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I couldn't agree more.
Even back to the Slawterhouse days, I was saying Dave is done. He hasn't sung a note since ALAE.
I got slammed for saying it then, but I was right, wasn't I?
Dave should have gone out on top as far as singing. He had and still has many other talents I admire.
Singing is none ofthem. He sounds awful.Comment

I've always felt embarrassed with his forgetting the lyrics. Never made me laugh: I've always thought Dave wasn't doing the hardest thing on stage ( except for the acrobatics
), pisses me when, listening to a bootleg, he misses his part, while the other three are delivering... But hey, that's part of Dave's performance, can't help it.
Can't help yelping it, too, these days.posted by Ellyllions Men say, "I'll never understand women." That's a very lonely place to be if you're a woman because we don't understand half of what we do either.posted by ALinChainz Katy, Pipe down, pump off, and fly back to your cave you old bat.Comment

Dave actually sang Big Train, Tobacco Road, and Mean Street fairly well.
He needs to lay off the high register. I don't think he really means to go there all the time.
He does when he feels like he has to belt out the song like on the album. But for some tunes that aint gonna work. Hell he never sang those tunes like on the album back in the day anyway.
He most certainly can still sing better than Coverdale and Stanley. So why should Dave hang it up? I say keep going.
Fuck the haters.
ROTH ON.=V V=

I wouldn`t consider myself a "hater" but it seems the standard for these rock singers is getting lower and lower as they age...unless these youtube clips are not really representative of the live performance...Now who`s that babe with the fab-u-lous shad-ow?Comment

I just watched Big Train from the first show again.
Dave is really good on this one. Again, if he stays within a certain range and away from too much yelping.
If he has trouble with DTNA, just drop it already. Replace it with another solo jam. How about Little Texas from DLR Band?=V V=

I see a lot of effort. By everyone but the singer.....pack it in Dave. Or put in some effort like 07/08. Sad.Comment

The problem, as I see it, is that he gets this big promotional ball rolling, then doesn’t bother to personally prepare, either by taking care of his voice, learning the lyrics or apparently even rehearsing much. The band is obviously tight, rehearsed and competent.
I’ll bet he rehearsed with them maybe once or twice tops .
Roth blew a big opportuninity to make a strong first impression.
Maybe he thinks he’ll get over by just being “Dave”
It won’t work as well as he thinks it will.
There’s still a market for that old Van Halen. People will buy it but it can’t suck as much as it did Wednesday or it’s gonna be a short summerComment
