Review: Van Halen rocks an appreciative crowd
By Cindy Card, Special to the Journal

RAPID CITY -- The rock group Van Halen is old school rock ‘n' roll that remains as popular today as it was 25 years ago. The band proved why Saturday evening at Rushmore Plaza Civic Center during the 75th concert of its 2004 tour.

The audience was mostly filled with 40-somethings, but there also were plenty of members of a new generation of Van Halen fans.

Jeff Anderson, 42, of Hill City and his 12-year-old son Joe wore new Van Halen T-shirts. Although it will take years for Joe to fill out his new adult-size shirt, his father's taste in music has already grown on him.

"His mom likes country music," Jeff said to Joe's reaction of "blah." Joe said he has always been a big rock fan. "I've had AC/DC from the womb," he proudly admitted. "David Lee Roth is definitely better," Joe said. "I didn't come here to see Van Hagar. I am here to see Eddie and Alex." His father shared his son's sentiment.

"I tolerate Sammy," Jeff said. "I remember playing ‘Jamie's Crying' on the 8-track in my '69 Chevelle. It was their first album and their best album," he said.

Jim Sheah, 47, of Rapid City and his son Zach, 16, also paired up for the concert. "I've been a Van Halen fan for about six months," Zach said. "I hear them on the classic rock stations." Jim said he has been a fan for more than 20 years. "Since probably right after I got out of college in the early ‘80s," he said. The father and son also said they preferred David Lee Roth and were there mostly for the guitar playing.

The arena was packed with energetic fans who stood most of the evening, dancing to the beat with their arms raised. Still, there were many seats that remained unsold, even after the box office slashed ticket prices in half.

The Andersons paid full price for their floor seats when the tickets first went on sale and had no bad feelings about the ticket prices getting slashed the last week before the concert.

"These are great seats," Jeff said. "I have no regrets. I was over in Iraq last summer, and it's things like this that are worth fighting for."

Where Have Mikey's Bass Lines Gone?
Original lyrics by the Kinks
2004 Lyrics by David Lee Roth

When Mike's with Dave I never stopped to worry `bout the bass,
But now with Sam he sings out loud, but never tries to play,
Wondering if he's done it wrong,
Will this depression last for long, wont you tell me,

Where have Mikey's Bass Lines gone?
Where have Mikey's Bass Lines gone?
Where have Mikey's Bass Lines gone?

Once we had an easy ride and Mikey felt the same,
Ed was on our side and we had everything to gain,
This could be like yesterday,
But Al is ruining our happy days,

Where have Mikey's Bass Lines gone?
Where have Mikey's Bass Lines gone?
Where have Mikey's Bass Lines gone?

Now Mikey's lookin' back on all the things they used to do,
Never had no slow songs and he always told the truth,
Eddie used to use his little toys,
Jackson didn't need no little boys, Wont you tell me,

Where have Mikey's Bass Lines gone?
Where have Mikey's Bass Lines gone?
Where have Mikey's Bass Lines gone?

Ow!

Yesterday was such an easy game for Mike to play,
Ah but then lets face it, things are easier today,
No bass lines to practise and rehearse,
Just go on tour with Sam and bring your purse!

Where have Mikey's Bass Lines gone?
Where have Mikey's Bass Lines gone?
Where have Mikey's Bass Lines gone?
Where have Mikey's Bass Lines gone?
Where have Mikey's Bass Lines gone?

[sambo]

ROFLMAO very clever...

[CROWBAR]

Where Have All the Bass Lines Gone is another DLR engineroom classic! :baaa:

Think about all those stupid sheep who paid for the 4 & 5 star packages and then think about the people who paid next to nothing for floor seats the night of the show. They just walked on by and sat down, laughing at the sheep!

Although they're still sheep too so they're all stupid!

Ha! Damn I feel better! :D

[scottydabodi]

I feel good about those lyrics, but I feel GREAT about the sheep finally admitting Dave was better... yes, they are sheep because they spent their $$ to support VanHagar.

[Switch84]

Ed & Al needs Da-vid! Ed & Al needs DA-VID! ED & AL NEEDS DA-VID!!!


BUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!

Review: Van Halen sucks before a dejected and hurt crowd yearning for David Lee Roth

By Nick Douglas, Special to the DLR Journal

RAPID CITY -- The rock group Van Halen is old school rock ‘n' roll that remains much less popular today than it was before that bloated witless asshole Sammy Hagar joined 18 years ago. The band proved why Saturday evening at Rushmore Plaza Civic Center during the really gay 75th concert of its lame-ass, mostly ignored 2004 tour.

The audience was mostly filled with 40-something white trash lovers of spam, but there also were plenty of members of a new generation of Van Halen fans. By the way, when I say "40-something," I'm talking about the total attendence, not their ages.

Jeff Anderson, 42, of Hill City and his 12-year-old son Joe wore new Van Halen T-shirts. Although it will take years for Joe to fill out his new adult-size shirt, his father's taste in music has already grown on him. Sammy Hagar made him cry. The sobbing Joe says, "my dad is such a loser, I can't believe he made me come to this useless shitfest. I wanna' go home and watch a David Lee Roth video. I hate you dad!"

"His mom likes country music," Jeff said to Joe's reaction of "blah." Joe said he has always been a big rock fan. "I've had AC/DC from the womb," he proudly admitted. "David Lee Roth is my real father and definitely better," Joe said. "I didn't come here to see that fat fucker Van Hagar. I am here to see drunken lying Dutchman Eddie and that monkey, gray-alien looking mother fucker Alex." His father shared his son's sentiment.

"I tolerate Sammy," Jeff said. "I remember playing ‘Jamie's Crying' on the 8-track in my '69 Chevelle. It was their first album and their best album," he said. "And best of all, it was Spam free!"

Jim Sheah, 47, of Rapid City and his son Zach, 16, also paired up for the concert. "I've been a Van Halen fan for about six months," Zach said. "I hear them on the classic rock stations." Jim said he has been a fan for more than 20 years. "Since probably right after I got out of college in the early ‘80s," he said. The father and son also said they preferred David Lee Roth and were there mostly for the guitar playing. "That fucking douchebag Sammy ruins everything," he said. "Why can't he have his own concert where he plays his lame-ass solo shit!"

The arena was packed with energetic fans who stood most of the evening, dancing to the beat with their arms raised. Still, there were many seats that remained unsold, even after the box office slashed ticket prices in half. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Figures.

The Andersons paid full price for their floor seats when the tickets first went on sale and had no bad feelings about the ticket prices getting slashed the last week before the concert.

"These are great seats," Jeff said. "I can even smell Sammy. His oder is faintly reminicient of bacon and tequila. I was over in Iraq last summer, and it's things like this that are worth fighting for. I wish I had my M-16 rifle so I could take that fat fuck out and force the remaining members to get back with Dave and put on a real concert!"
