is that a photoshop ??
Look how lame those people look...
Everyone except Eddie Van Halen looks like a total douchebag in that pic...
I bet ZZzzz would fit right in with a bunch of dicks like that...
I don't know who the other people are in this picthe "biggest idiot in sports"
I really love you baby, I love what you've got
Let's get together we can, Get hot
Am I gonna have to start calling you Trollsty?
The "we" were co-workers and the live Soundgarden came out sometime in the past 5 years.
The smallest guy in the picture is "the biggest idiot in the sport" (of rock'n'roll management) - Irving Azoff. Yep, that's him with the glasses. Next to him, on the left, is Jimmy Iovine, president of Interscope. This was taken to publicise their deal with Interscope back before ADKOT was released.
Who are the others ... I have no idea who the guys on either side of Dave are.
Hang on - there's a report here:
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/new...-iovine-263283
Steve Berman (Interscope Geffen A&M vice chairman) - that's the guy who looks like he ate all the cakes - and Jim Urie (president and CEO, Universal Music Group Distribution).
And there you have it.
THINK LIKE THE WAVES
Good take. I think the biggest issue for Dave in 2012 was that he just wasn't healthy. Between the multi-layered clothing and scarves, blower rants, gargling during/between songs, eating wedges of citrus fruit during/between songs, constantly clearing his throat, etc., I just don't think he was all there physically. That said, I think Dave also made conscious choices that were independent of his health (changing the vocal melody of DTNA being the most egregious example) because he was still doing them even when he was presumably healthy. (Why he was doing them in the first place is the great mystery)
As for 07-08, he was in top form, so he obviously put in the work to get there. Did he put in the same level of work for 2012? I don't know. He had less to prove for that tour, but I don't know if that affected his preparation. I think he still has enough left in the pipes to be effective, but he needs to get out of his own goddamned way.

On another note...someone posted a video of The Circle playing Best of Both Worlds. Threw up in my mouth a little. Spammy doing jumping jacks.
I agree with health issues as most folks do not wear 3 layers of clothes and scarfs on a stage that is 100 degrees under the lights and doesn't sweat. Even given some form of physical challenge the choice to go up rather than down in compensating was an awful way to adjust regardless of the reason why he had to adjust. He actually sounded the better in that 2005 - 06 era than 2007 - 08. Heard him breakout DOA during that time period at Westbury and was the best vocal I ever heard him sing at anytime.
He seemed to wander around the stage a lot from the 2012 vids I watched like he wasn't sure what to do. Playing with his ears often, ear plug in and out, signalling for different props, playing with his clothes...just generally distracted. Hope to see him more on point the next go round. Took a shit kicking on the web.
How rude!
I was just looking out for your welfare.
That's what all the progressive socialist shit says...
my fare is well and not stuck in '85, thanks.
Your wel certainly is.
You damn straight I am buying this album, tragedy and triumph is what history is made of... and Van Halen is hard rock history in the making, hopefully Dave is then able to get off his ass on the Island of Elba and make a comeback after this Waterloo lol
I would have considered getting it if they had at least picked a song from different shows. Kind of a highlight reel of the tunes..they could have even kept the fucking boat cover and called it Live around the World...Far better efforts out there to put on a disc that will be " capturing " the definitive Vh live show..dont touch up a thing ..live and raw but pick your best sounding work..geezzus..
BREAKING: Taking a page from the recent Rolling Stones tour announcement tease on social media, Van Halen has officially declared the March 31st announcement date as #dissatisfactiontuesday.
Oh how we wish !!!That ship has the French flag on it...therefore this is fake and not happening.
Nothing to see here, folks. Thread closed.
Are you sure it's not dysfunctional Tuesday ?
Every day is dysfunctional Tuesday
Its amazing the shit you guys talk here. The fat girl from Heart? Dude she kills LIVE! Sammy still sounds pretty damn good and you trash him, why? Because Eddie was pissed Mikey was his friend. The Van Halen's are dicks and DLR is a flat out whack job with a shit voice. The man you idol is not only a tool but makes it embarrassing to be a VH fan. Just awful. Close this shit down just like DLR did with his site. Its over.
Nob..
fuck your fucking framing
I may be a "nob" but you guys worship one of the worst voices in rock, not to mention how dorky the guy is.
Here is your hero..

Listen, I have been one of his worst critics on this fucked up "Definitive" live album bullshit, but he's not one of the "worst voices in rock". He just needs to stay in his range, and stay more true to the original recordings. Dave was never a singers singer. That's why he made some of the most timeless and legendary songs in the history of rock and roll.
Don't let Dave's "dorky" stage and public persona fool you into believing he is "Diamond Dave" 24/7.
I can't believe you actually dignified Heater-lite with a response.
Fuck Sammy Hagar. He's a washed up, Republican, tequila salesman (or is he a coffee salesman or a rum salesman now, I really can't keep up with his bullshit) who thinks his 30 year old synthesizer choked cheesy love ballads are still relevant to anything that matters.
Fuck him and anybody who defends him.

Well, I was going to just call him a "nob", but that's already been done.
No...Sammy mostly gets trashed here because of his shitty lyrics.
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
He's a 67 year old who had a pretty good run in the music business and was a pretty successful self made businessman. He still out making music and frankly looking pretty good, happy, and healthy at his age. What are you doing now?
No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!
I'll give Dave an A for effort. Years of cigarette/pot smoking take their toll and age is a factor. I was listening to their 1978 London show and Dave sounded great with his elk in mating season wail. That's gone. Father Time took it.
You are a fagar fan, explains a lot really.
My last bitch about this....could this not be cleaned up just a little and put in as a bonus disc...
riiiiiiiiiiiiight
Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!
I am trying to like it but they should have at least released Mean Street as the first song
Here's the opener.....

That is much better I think
