    Am confused in that I thought the US Van Halen tour ended last October...were they doing dates outside the US after that? Not being a smartass, but if they haven't, 6 months after the fact seems a little belated to say thanks in this day and age...the song selection in the clip gave the thing a feeling of a requiem for something else beyond just the end of a tour...

    I dunno. Feels like it would be a good time (and maybe a little past time) for Roth to say thanks for the memories far as Van Halen goes. The whole reunion thing has served whatever purpose it had. It seems pretty clear nothing much by way of new music is going to be realized, and you can only do the nostalgia trip for so long before that becomes less of a neat revisiting of past glories and more of a demonstration as to how such glories should be left in the past. Dave comes across as more and more of an odd duck to me as he gets older. But he's brought a fair amount of entertainment to me over the years, and I've given him a fair amount of cash for it in return. Good luck to him, whatever happens.

      I can only think that at the time the tour ended he didn't have someone who could put this together having parted company with his previous AV person?

        Yeah, that could well be, when taking into consideration the speed with which things happen re: Van Halen.

          I think all these recently posted vids were recorded right after they came off the road. In one of them he says something to the effect of "It's football season right now" and he was also referring to the big game/Superbowl ad as if it hadn't happened yet.

            Did y'all even watch the video..?

            Nothing in it from the last tour... it's all from his stint hanging in Japan and some Different Kind of Truth promo crap and the Australia gig. 2013 revisited...

                Dave's caught Alzheimer, or he thinks we have.

                Maybe he's wondering where David Lee Roth is too?

                  I'm starting to wonder if all you younger punks have already had trouble with the elevator reaching the top floor...

                  I should not be the one with the sharper memory here...

                    Well, in my defense, crazy ole Uncle Dave has been sending out weird/cryptic public messages as far back as the Bar-B-Que, so I can hardly be chastised for not being able to keep them all straight...

                    Plus, I hadn't seen the montage in 2013 or whenever he originally sent it out.
