    Maybe he wasn't kidding about mixing the vicodin & vodka? That combination would make anybody sound like shit. Assuming they could stay conscious long enough to sound like shit.

      Was a thread here once about his site. Commented that I had been there once or twice, looked around, didn't care for the vibe of the place and didn't bother posting there.

      Guy comes over here to post HIS comment about my comment about the links, his comment being along the lines of he was awesome/his site was recognized by the band/he was friends with Eddie Van Halen/who the fuck am I to say anything about his website. Mind you, I wasn't going onto HIS site and commenting that I had no use for it. Never even had an interaction with the guy prior. Fucking dimwitted psycho with delusions of grandeur over the importance of his website comes over here to be cyber tough guy.

      It's like, you run a popular website about Van Halen. Okay. So?

      Based on the slant I saw on the site however many years back it was now since that interaction, wouldn't surprise me if he was sniffing Ed's kid's shit-stained underwear and swearing it smelled like roses: if you're a fan of someone to the point where you find zero fault in anything they do ever, you might as well call yourself a cult member.

      Whatever. Fuck that guy and his Hagar-friendly site.

        It's so strange that he doesn't realize that the audience will not accept him changing the vocal melodies of his most famous songs.

        Who else ever did that and everyone was fine with it?
        He was dicking around with the vocal melodies live in 1999, 2002, 2005 and 2006. Cut him some slack during those years because they were either opening gig slots or headlining slots at small venues with fairly inexpensive ticket prices.

        He pulled it together quite well (for him) in 2007.

        Come 2012, he's out there fucking around with the melodies but now he's fronting Van Halen and sounding terrible at premium ticket prices (vs. now, where he sounds terrible at any price). Seeing that ADKOT tour show was when I finally acknowledged Roth was no longer good enough to do the material justice live and the spectacle of him as a performer had waned to where he was just this weird anachronistic shadow of what he had formerly been. That point, it's like fuck it, it's over.

          So you and I saw the 2007/2008 'Dave saves the fucking day tour' where he somehow dragged a 16 year old child and an old drunk guy through an arena tour.

          Panama like DTNA and a few others over the last 10 years have always been not good to the extent that that they made you forget about the ones that were fine.

          Anyhoo as it happens the gig I was at in Baltmore back then has a great video and I went back and looked tonight and even Panama was absolutely fine vocally.



          Maybe around the last time Dave didn't ruin Panama which is a bit of consolation as it was the most I have ever spent going to a gig and ever will ...?

            Far as I could tell by what was posted Dave only performed Panama... Doubt he was paid 5 figures for that and his performance sucked elephant balls...

              I bet he got more than $10k, you would be surprised at the cash these guys get, Vince Neil minimum appearance rate starts at $65k.

              Couldn't find a price for DLR but Sammy Hagar is quoted at $80-$116k !

                  I think true fans are honest. If the entertainer you like is starting to suck let them know it. You definitely would do this in your favorite restaurant if the food started to suck. Anyways if you say a sucky performance is great you are an enabler and not a fan.

                    It’s been over for a long time. Some things just don’t age well. Dave is like beer. He was great when he came out of the brewery fresh but he’s really skunked now.

                    If Sam wants to charge to be a party clown then whatever. That’s capitalism and fools and their money are soon departed.

                      Dave is like the washed up actress in the movie Sunset Blvd. He’s living in his own delusion now and it’s ugly to see. It’s called narcissism.

                        I was young and stupid...but they did help me come up with a great way to construct the dual lit-staircases.
                        The Home Depot was started by some great guys and once was a good outfit but as soon as the the controlling shares get sold and it becomes owned by the capital investment firms everything goes to shit.

                              I will give a guy like Ed Van Halen a hall pass for some fuckery. I mean these guys don’t live the healthiest lifestyles in the world but nor do they claim to be a saint. Ed needed a better woman in his life. I mean Val has a wake of failed marriages behind her and she uses social media like a psychiatrist. I’m like holy shit! This bitch is nuts. No wonder Ed isolated himself and crawled into the bottle. Years of that and feeling you needed to stay in it for your kid. It drove Ed so low he literally became a bum.

                              Ed gets a new woman and he becomes a new man. Fuck. He’s got a twinkle in his eye. A big smile. He started playing great again. If anything Ed got to go out on top and thank’s Janie and sorry for your loss but you brought Ed back to a dignified place.

                              Roth just ran out of gas. He tried. He really did but Father Time sometimes is a cruel son of a bitch.

                              Sam? The best way I can describe him is he’s like pubic lice. He’s always crawling around and irritating and hard to make go away.
