What is wrong with me!

[spare change]

I have great seats for the Manchester NH show but I am not psyched as I thought I would be. It is almost the same setlist as the 07 tour, the stage looks alright and I just cant get over the headset look! Somebody get me a doctor please!

[Romeo Delight]

If you can't get excited over a Van Halen show, there is no one who can help you. Might as well sell the car, buy a rocking chair, and stare out at the neigbours and complain about the noise and everyone's messy yards.

[Sensible Shoes]

I"m less excited than I was but that's because I had something so wonderful and unexpected happen, even Van Halen will have a hard time topping it! I'd say it's on par.

It is almost the same setlist as the 07 tour, the stage looks alright and I just cant get over the headset look!I'll take those tickets then. Being a hetero, the headset thing doesn't bother me. I'm sure I'll manage to live with it and have a good time.:thumb:

Some of you people are downright spoiled....

[chi-town324]

eddies playing his ass off, wolfs playing his ass off..Dave is bringing more energy than the last tour ...new songs...old songs we never thought would be in the setlist...i can't wait for friday!!!

[mohican]

I am psyched. Summer is too long a wait for my show.

You need a doctor who will give you a shot in the arm--with enthusiasm for the unexpected, and appreciation for something close to a miracle!!

[Momshell]

I wish I could give you some of my excitement....I've got too much....can't work, can't sleep, and my family wants to kill me!! 8 more days til MSG and by then I'm gonna be homeless, divorced, and hallucinating from lack of sleep!!!

[ashstralia]

Can't ask for miracles.

[spare change]

Can't ask for miracles.

They already did the reunion tour in 07 and 08 by playing all the hits to please all the pink hat VH fans. I was hoping more of the new songs live (they still might) and some deeper tracks this time around. Such as secrets to replace Ill wait and Hear about it later to replace pretty woman, however woman in love and out of love again is a nice place to start.

[Sensible Shoes]

No I meant about me getting laid.

How 'bout you take two of your pink, I'm a little bitch pills, followed by a big glass of shut the fuck up, and call Sammy in the morning...

[Terry]

By comparison of the clips I've seen of the tour rehearsals and first gig of this tour vs. the last tour rehearsals, clips and gig I actually saw, I'm way more psyched up to see the band this time around...particularly if Eddie stays in as fine a form as he's in right now when they reach Tampa.

The ENTIRE band sounds dead-on this time around (let's be honest, Eddie was NOT firing on all points last time around) and has released a strong album.

Plus, this time around I'm generally much more accepting of Wolf being in the band and Anthony not being there. Also, in 2008, it had only been a year and a half between that show and the last Roth solo gig I saw in the summer of 2006 vs. the four year gap between the last two Van halen tours.

It's gonna be a great show and a fun night out. I ain't expecting career-defining, earth-shattering performances from the band anymore. All they have to provide is a professional, competently performed set and they've got the job done in my book.

I'm not even going to get to go. You don't even care if you do?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

It is almost the same setlist as the 07 tour

I'm The One dropped
Atomic Punk dropped
So This Is Love dropped
And The Cradle Will Rock dropped
Little Dreamer dropped
Little Guitars dropped
Jamie's Cryin' dropped
She's The Woman added
Tattoo added
China Town added
The Trouble With Never added
Women in Love added
Outta Love added

Yeah, you're absolutely right, it's almost the same setlist.....

Jesus H. Christ, tell ya what, donate the tickets to the Army, we'll have a great contest and the winner will win your seats !!

How's that sound??

[rockhead]

Spare Change - you need to keep things in perspective.This maybe the last time VH will do a tour or an album, ill say this from me and Ashtralia here in OZ shut the fuck up and stop whinging!!!!!!!!

VA your right, if this guy who seems to have the IQ of a frisbee whinges anymore, please ask for the tickets and raffle them off somehow.

[ELVIS]

Whinges ??

[spare change]

$175 X 3 for tickets Sorry I am just not going to pretend to get excited over hearing YRGM/ATAL for the 1000th time. We true VH fans have suffered long enough where they should to be able to lean a few more older tunes plus the majority of the new ones and give a steller show.

It's AT'BL

But dude, with a sober Edward and Dave in fine form, the set list hardly matters at all...

I hate Jump and I'd like to hear I'm The One and Atomic Punk again, but soo friggin' what...

It's easy to tell from the youtube clips that the sound and overall performance is WAY better than the last tour...

But put your tickets on ebay. You'll make a few dollars and you can be happy...

Exactly. I'd love to see Hear About It Later replace Pretty Woman, and You and Your Blues included, but hey I'm over it.

They look and sound great!!!!!!

Grab a tissue, clean yourself up, and enjoy the ride.

I got ZERO TOLERANCE for whiney bitchy VH fans. No one is putting a gun to your head to buy tickets. Go to a Chicken-Shit show if you wanna whine about a musical performance.

As a fan ---- you have ZERO CONTROL over the setlist. It's been like that since the beginning of musical history. Now that the setlist for the Louisville show has been made public ---- make your choice about whether to attend and then just STFU.

Read the reviews ---- Eddie is playing better than ever, Wolfie has matured quite nicely as the bass player, and Dave is bringing the fun and showmanship back to the rock stage. Add in some cold brews and nice MILFs to gawk it ----- and I call that a rather fun way to spend a weekday night. Or you can just sit in your mama's basement and play WoW while listening to "Dreams" like a loser.

Way to sensitive about this! No bigger Classic VH fan than me! I just have high expections of the Mighty Van Halen. Plus I'm enjoing the ride alright! "I can fit a whole lot more people in my back seat than you can in your fancy French car!"

Dude, you bought concert tickets - not a time machine. I'm not knocking you, and I respect the fact that you may be underwhelmed with the set list. But this ain't '83 and it ain't fucking Burger King - you don't get it your way. None of us do - you pay your money and you take your chances. And, by the way, who are the "true VH fans"??

[spare change]

True VH fans are the ones who didnt see van hagar in 1986 when they played 4 showS in worcester MA. True VH fans are the ones who did see DLR in 1988 on the Skyscraper tour where our ears rang for days after. We are the ones who supported Dave when he played the Hampton Beach Casino in the early 2000s and again on the SPAM and Dave tour. We never excepted any thing less.

[Sensible Shoes]

So are you getting excited yet?

[guwapo_rocker]

Ugh......

[mdk1967]

This thread is too funny.
...Check out the online video promo for You and Your Blues, Spare. "Thou shalt not whine." - David Lee Roth
...Been a regular here, on "Da Links", VHNation and VHND over the last two months and I find it interesting how many people are COMPLAINING about yada, yada, yada. Please, STFU already and keep watching American Idol, etc. or whatever it is you may do for entertainment these days.

Darth Vader from planet Vulcan is going to be paying you all a visit.

P.S. One of Dave's dogs got thristy and left you a present...in your bed.

This is the Roth Army - most of us never paid a fucking penny to see Van Hagar and most of us wouldn't use that as a VH merit badge in the first place. But guess what? There are members here who DID go to Van Hagar shows. Most of us have seen every tour that brought Dave through our neck of the woods every year from '86 thru the last tour. Does that count? Or is all of this just a pissing contest?

My ex-wife was hot as hell but she couldn't spell spaghetti to save her life...every time it was on the grocery list it was spelled wrong. I don't expect much, but you had better know the difference between accept and except and affect and effect...Jesus, is it that hard to understand?

And furthermore, are the only "true Van Halen fans" the ones who saw them before Dave left the band??? I need to know motherfuckers! Because I've spent waaaayyyy too much money buying their crap if I'm not a "real Van Halen fan". :gulp:

Do you mean Gary's "Dance of the Flaming Assholes" move??? Ah yes, another classic moment from video history that did NOT include Dave...But, unless you are a "true Van Halen fan" you wouldn't understand how freaking gay that moment was...

Ebay the tix and STFU ?

Or give them to someone here (not me) who is a real fan
and is doing it tough at the moment. :mad:

There is great joy in giving.

If you are female and have PMS, I do apologize, that shit turns
sane women insane.

Lets start that comp for who would be most deserving of those tix !

[EdVanZep]

This thread got me thinking. In `81 at the tender age of 14 I had already seen VH once in Oct of `80 The Invasion tour , who would have tought they`d come right back in June the following year and I was gonna pass on VH and see Styx instead , it was my mom at what I thought was the old age of 33 that said your not gonna see Van Halen again! I wised up , sold the Styx ticket and saw the mighty VH June 12th `81 in Oakalnd, one of the best choices I`ve ever made in my life

[fifth element]

i had hoped to see the concert in my area, but do to recent issues....
(you know the type, we all have them sooner or later)
am not sure it's gonna happen.

keeping my fingers crossed and putting back every dollar i can....

Hey Fifth - I have an extra ticket that doesn't look like it's gonna be used. How's Charlotte for you? Floor seats :thumb:
