Touche...they even take a shot at Dave..."Hagar's singing maintained a perfect balance between power and insouciance, underscoring the band's party-hearty aesthetic without undercutting the melodies (a trick former frontman Dave Lee Roth never managed)."
It was the Toronto concert.
It wasn't reported, since nobody gives a crap about Van Gaybar and their miserable, failing tour. This is not www.FagHomoGayVanGaybar.comOriginally posted by Samsonite

"Van Homo Gaybar sucked last night. All the songs sucked. All of the playing sucked. They all looked like crap. Ed still has only has half a tongue. Go see the Cure."
There.

Reunion tours generally range from pale imitation to bitter disappointment; as a rule, any band that breaks up and then gets back together is never the same as before. In one sense, Van Halen's reformation with singer Sammy Hagar followed that pattern: The band wasn't as good as it used to be - it was better.
Whatever problems may have kept the band off the road for the last half-decade (guitarist Eddie Van Halen's fight with cancer, Hagar's attitude, drummer Alex Van Halen's hearing, bassist Michael Anthony's irrelevance) are gone without a trace. This Van Halen seemed more energetic and enthusiastic than they did a decade ago, during their last outing with Hagar (supporting 1995's Balance). From the explosive opening of "Jump" to the fistpumping choruses in "Best of Both Worlds," the band managed to make its big hits seem even bigger onstage. It helped that Eddie played brilliantly throughout, handling the rhythm lick in "Why Can't This Be Love?" with one hand and lending an almost incandescent virtuosity to "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love." But this was no one-man show. Hagar's singing maintained a perfect balance between power and insouciance, underscoring the band's party-hearty aesthetic without undercutting the melodies (a trick former frontman David Lee Roth never managed). And between Anthony's bass pulse and Alex's tastefully virtuosic drumming, "Unchained" and "You Really Got Me" were unstoppable juggernauts.
Far from being outclassed by the solid-gold oldies, the band's new material - particularly "Up for Breakfast" and the stomping "It's About Time" - was solid and inspiring. In all, the reconstituted Van Halen came across as a band, not some collection of competing personalities and agendas - and based on this night's performance, it looks like they're just warming up.
Yep, in front of that big bad average of 7,000 fans.
The new songs SUCK royally.
Rolling Stone isn't the same as before either.
Notice how the Roth songs are the crowd faves at every show.

From the actual reviews of the shows that have taken place so far, which includes the one here in my home town and from what I've been told by a couple DJ friends of mine here.Originally posted by Samsonite

You have heard the new songs, right?
That review reeks of payola. The new songs just plain reek!!!
Yea I've heard them...Up For Breakfast and It's about time are alright...I don't like...Learning To See? I'm not sure if that's the title...

"Alex's tastefully virtuosic drumming"
He's quite good, better than average, but a virtuoso?

Rolling Stone is the same bonehead magazine that panned bands like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Oh yeah, they really knew what they were talking about there...Originally posted by Samsonite

he had before going to this show!!
Well then...I'd guess you'd need to find out who wrote it...since the magazine isn't written by one person...J.D. Considine.
Damn straight Brownie

I canceled my subscription to Rolling Stone in 1985. I never got an issue that was worth a damn...Calvin Klein sold a shitload of clothes though.

One thing I forgot to add....Look at Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists list. They don't even have EVH in the top fucking 20!! What a bunch of geniouses.
That right there should be enough to convince the Van Hagar fans.
They dissed Eddie heavy by ranking him WAY DOWN THERE.
not a fan of rolling stone myself but its just a review....its the same as every other review...there have been good or bad. the bad ones are genuises, but the good ones are drunk hacks. form your own opinion sheep, dont just jump on what a journalist says
that guitarist list was junk but at least they gave some press to my boy robert randolph
Here's something that'll really add insult to injury...Take a look at Rolling Stone's "Top 100" list of all time greatest guitarists...How the fuck does Jack White of the WHite Stripes beat out Eddie VH, and how the FUck is Eddie ranked at #69 or #70...I can understand how they would chose Jimi Hendrix to be #1 (even though he isn't in my opinion)....The other 68 or 69, above Eddie I'ld probably put him a little to ENORMOUSLY higher in number below him...Based on Eddie's playing in the DLR y ears and the Club days to around 5150 he'ld easily crack the TOP 5 ALL TIME maybe even the TOP 3 of all time...
l8r folks

Rolling Stone isn't the same magazine it was when it began almost 40 years ago which is why it's meaningless nowadays but I'm glad they gave VH 4 stars on their reunion tour!!!
Wait a second here. Van Halen has some new songs out? Van Halen is on tour? I'll be...

Rolling Stone has sucked for years now. I haven't picked one up in at least 2 yrs.

Rolling Stone has always been a joke and everyobody knows that.

Well, I've never been one to listen to reviewers anyway...I've always trusted my own ear. I just get tired of magazines telling me how great someone is like John Mayer, when in fact he sucks donkey balls. Rolling Stone is notorious for dissing a great band, then when the band gets huge they are there on their knees sucking their cocks.
I agree 100%....minus the Nega-Dave part. Still....as i've seen now 4 times, soon to be 5.....VH still has it.Originally posted by Samsonite
