Edward's hair would look better if he used a Detangler...

Well said, Ragu....

I appreciate what you're trying to do but if the headset "men" don't realize how petty that is right out of the gate I don't think your post will help them.

wait, did you say red pants.
oh no. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHH !

(I do wish the album sounded better sonically but blame it on the company not the band. I'm sure Ed would want it to sound as clear as the old days but what the fuck can you do other than wait for the vinyl and hope the mastering helps the fidelity) The music soars though and I won't get sick of if for a long time. cheers all :bottle:

I couldn't take anymore, bro...jesus...

I feel like I'm 15 and have been on the most intense Van Halen "High" since I was 15 for the last 3 months...

I just don't get some of this shit I'm seeing...

I almost feel like it's the, "We've been bitching about this band since Dave left so we don't know anything else", kinda vibe!

If anyone sees the shows and walks away disappointed because the lights weren't working properly or the LED screen had a glitch [which happened at the Palace] or that Dave, Ed, Al or Wolfie played at bad note between 1:22 and 1:23 on a fucking YouTube video....you either have only gone to lip-sync'd concerts like Madonna or you have completely forgotten what live Rock N Roll is supposed to be.

Everyone says the Six-Pack is brilliant the best six albums ever........which is ironic because, by the band's own admission, it's filled with flaws and fuck ups. [See Pretty Woman as a classic example]

Everyone who pines for the glory years [78-85] and complaining that VH hasn't lived up to the past concerts was either too fucked up to remember those shows or time has erased the bad memories and replaced them with a mythical version of those live shows......there were more fuck ups then then there is now, period!

The headset doesn't do Dave any favors live. If you cannot accept that and want to label me a whiner - kindly suck my $600 concert ticket cock and fuck off. As a paying customer - and not some bullshit upper level ticket - I am entitled to voice an opinion.

Dont you nitwits label people who blindly follow and accept 'sheep'? Hmmm

This one definitely deserves a big "THANKS"...and a big thumbs up to Ragu.

When I first saw the thread title on the main page, I thought "holy shit....now there's an ED hair thread?"

But when I saw the content I totally understood.

I've used the analogy twice before in these forums, but I'll use again here. The Van Halen pinata has been smashed open and the goodies continue to rain down.

Everybody should grab their pieces of delicious Van Halen candy, shove them in their overactive cakehole (or keyboard fingers in this case) and shut the fuck up with the nitpicking already.

I didn't want to break this news here and I probably should start a new thread about this in the Main but.........Ed was wearing yellow shoes, too!

I'm actually in the process of trying to get a refund on that principle alone

If it affects the sound or the music, then fine. If it's a rock stars don't wear headsets sign my petition because I paid and they should do as I say, then I think it's fucked.

Oh no... Back to therapy for me. Rock stars don't wear yellow shoes. Will you sign my petition.

So, you're saying you're better because you're stupid enough to fork out $600 for a ticket. Be grateful that you even get to see them. How I wish I could afford even a "bullshitupper level ticket" instead of scrounging for nex semester's tuition and textbooks.

Isn't this a place to discuss all things Van Halen/David Lee Roth... good, bad and ugly?

VAiN...you're certainly entitled to an opinion.

I think what Carmine is driving at is that we have received an effort from VH that is light years above and beyond what any of us could have expected.

When the '07/'08 tour ended, this place was rife with doom and gloom speculation about what was next...if anything at all. I think many of us (myself included) were bracing for a letdown. We were nervous that any new music would be lackluster and subpar, and that the CVH legacy could potentially be "ruined."

People were pissed about the silence, and the length of time it was taking to get any news. We even took DLR to task a bit for what was eventually perceived as a misleading "Get Ready" message on his site that seemed to linger forever. There was the Soundwave Revolution collapse that lapsed us all back into apathy.

Then suddenly the floodgates opened a few months ago, and we got a new record that is fucking amazing!! Not only does it pay tribute to the CVH legacy, but ADKOT can proudly stand in line with the six pack as a full-fledged member of the family, not some bastard stepson of a record that was released as a "cash grab."

Acoustic versions of old favorites, DLR exclusive videos (part of an overarching exclusive access given to the one and only ROTH ARMY), an intimate club gig in NYC, a mind-blowing record release party in L.A., Dave interviewing the VH brothers, and dissecting the lyrics to the songs.

And now the tour has started, and we're seeing a revitalized and rejuvenated Van Halen with each member at the very top of their game. Old classics being dusted off, including "Outta Love Again" being played live for the first time since 19-fucking-80. And hearing "Girl Gone Bad" in Detroit was fucking unreal!!

I guess what Carmine is saying is that with all of the amazing things going on around us, those who complain give the appearance that they are simply hell-bent to find something to bitch about instead of being happy for all that we've seen so far.

So, ultimately....it comes down to:

Opinions = Good

Bitching = Bad
