Van Halen Japanese Tour Dates

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Unstuck....

[ELVIS]

C ´on Dave. All I´m askin you is do vocals as 2008 and stage as 2012. You could easily jump three times a show. the band could easily make some jam. Play could this be magic, Light up the sky and In a simple rhyme. And at he very final show which it´ll include Michael Anthony at the Super Bowl, add it a final Split jump. Thats it!!! Then please retire to do a final solo álbum and tour with the yankee rose band,. After that enjoy gloriously your older years ahead.

Why don't you tell him what you want to eat as well ??

[katina]

I certainly don't expect things to suddenly be all hay-dayish, even if Mike A showed up. I view this as nostalgia victory laps. The victory being that they're still even able to rock at all at this age, and the nostalgia? Let me put this way, Dave opened virtually every song at MSG with, "oh, I remember this song!"

It's never gonna be as it once was, so I'm making the best of what in now is.

Aaaaaas is. (that's how it goes)

I agree with you I crossing my fingers for some Europe shows.

[BenJammin]

Wow... how the tides have turned with the 'hang it up' posts that I read on the last few pages. Yes they are all older now (except for Wolf, which is beside the point here). It's still easy to sound good on guitar/instruments but the voice ages, get over it, Dave is working hard at giving us fans what he's got left. The Osaka digest that was posted highlighted a very controlled DLR delivering in a comfortable & controlled range for him. Kudos. If you aren't digging it, YOU should move on... not VH. Jesus H. Christ... I'll be 49 this year and I feel too tired to get up to face the day most every day, ahd Dave us about 10 years older than me still getting up there on stage and giving it quite a go.

That being said, yes I would like to see more studio albums where they bring out the best whereas I can tell the tours expose a lot of flaws and fatigue especially in Dave, but the finest wines are always aged and it still take a lot of brass to get up there and be real where even the young nothing stars of the moment lip sync, auto-tune, have backup singers, hide in the stage production, etc.

...but Beyonce's Superbowl halftime show still sticks in my mind, lol !

First Osaka show

...and the second Osaka show

[DLR Bridge]

Dave sounded powerful! Pipes are in decent form.

Chinatown still a speed bump, but I don't think he cares. That's an Ed/Wolf showcase that's just too damn fast for him. It's bookended by SGMAD and HAIL, both of which he nails.

[ELVIS]

Nails ??

It was kinda OK...

[ELVIS]

But he still sounds 100 years old with a hot poker up his ass...

Chinatown is just plain awful on Dave's part...

Ed ripped the solo in that last clip...

[envy_me]

God, Ed looks old. He looks like one of the Castro brothers.

[Never was]

I love Chinatown but Dave simply can't sing it. His voice is much stronger than 2012 but still misses that song. Time to try a different cut from ADKOT.

[envy_me]

I am still on Unchained. It sounds like Dave is struggling. Nice ass at 0:04:20


Running WTD sounds significantly better. Same with She's the woman. Why does camera always have to be on Ed??? The best living frontman in the world is there and they film the guitarplayer. I mean Ed is more then just guitarplayer, but there isn't much to see really, I'd rather look at the frontman.

[ELVIS]

God, Ed looks old.

No fucking way...

I was just thinking he looks and sounds the best he has since the reunion with Dave started...

Too bad Dave sounds like helium is being pumped into every venue...

[envy_me]

No fucking way...

I was just thinking he looks and sounds the best he has since the reunion with Dave started...

Lol, that doesn't say much, you know He sounds good, but looks?

[ELVIS]

Ed looks more like himself, I think...

[envy_me]

Ed looks more like himself, I think...

Nice to see that he still plays well.

Which period of time, since they last reunited, do you think Dave sounded the best?

[envy_me]

I am just glad Dave reconsidered his 2002 Donatella Versace look He looks great now.

[Never was]

Dave sounded best in 07-08, worse in 12 and solid Dave in 13

Ed and the entire band are old, period. Damn the fansare old and the band even moreso. Given that Ed looks as healthy and happy as he ever has.

[Never was]

If you want to see old see Hagar he looks like he escaped from an old folks home and is still wearing the mismatched clothes from the home. I'm waiting for for Hagar to one day stroll out in bunny slippers.

[ELVIS]

Which period of time, since they last reunited, do you think Dave sounded the best?

2007, by far...

Some of Dave's best live vocals of any period...

[envy_me]

Sorry, fraroc, he does NOT sound this good now.

What happend? In only couple of years??

[ELVIS]

Check out good Dave is here...

Sammy Hagar died when falling after he slipped due to the worn out safety rubber on his bunny slippers.

[DLR Bridge]

Nails ??

It was kinda OK...

Shaddap!

I meant by the present day standards, meaning the best a 58 year old can approximate a 28 year old.

[DLR Bridge]

More believable than a jet ski accident.

[Von Halen]

Check out good Dave is here...

I have no doubt Dave can still sing exactly like that, if he'd just stay in that range.

Look at the stage presence displayed in this clip. Not only by Dave, but by Ed too. They had the old swagger. They were cocky. They were having fun. I think that is more of a missing ingredient right now, than any jumps or kicks.

[envy_me]

More believable than a jet ski accident.

I think he should die in an accident like this. But even that would be too adventurous for him.

Take the Sammy Clichegar talk to a thread where people are cuntcerned more with what the round rocker is or isn't doing these days.

Nobody in this thread gives a fuck if he is dead or alive.

There is at least one thread around here that is dedicated to some sort of obsession with that fat fuck.

This thread is about David Lee Roth. This thread is about the mighty Van Halen. Let's keep it that way.

[katina]

I really hope VH releases a DVD from the Japan shows

Understood. Next cup of coffee's on me.

I love you Von...but Dave more of course.

I think Ed looked healthier back then. Less bloated.

[Zing!]

That's the DLR I'm hoping will make a come-back. I don't expect jumps, kicks, and splits anymore - hell, I can't even stand up from a sitting position on the floor without help and I'm 20 years younger than Dave. But it would be the shat to have that 2007 swagger. Dave ruled the stage with just the right amount of attitude and confidence that tour so that it didn't look contrived or like he was trying to hold on to past glories (like the crypt-keeper BBQ days). I also think he can still hit the notes and sing like that again if he wanted to. Lose the dance floor, lose the vaudeville camp, prowl the stage like a sexy caged animal, and sing like you've got something to prove again.
