If I'm talkin' to a babe, and she says she isn't into Van Halen? I give her the thumbs down and walk away. That's just a personal rule.

[So this is love]

A lot of people only know Ed live from the crappy years with the other two singers.

And the last tour, we all know he wasn't all there for a lot of it. For some, this is the first time

seeing the REAL Eddie Van Halen!!

there or not there.. he is still freaking better than I'll ever be dreaming of...I play guitar...and

i'm still amazed at 45 but the guy is a genius writing all these songs...

Lot of tweets slamming Dave. Sounds like there was a lot of issues tonight.

I really don't think he can hear. From what I have seen, he is motioning to the sound guys

side stage a lot, and always trying to fix his ear monitors. Even Al was waving at the sound guys the other night.

No kidding, any moment now a tumbleweed is due to roll by.

Wonder what's going on?

UhOh.

GIRL GONE BAD in Chicago...

I don't want to be a sentimental asshole, and if you REALLY must move this, go ahead...

...but when I watched Eddie kick into GIRL GONE BAD tonight in Chicago and saw Dave singing like a madman...

...it was truly full circle for me. Seeing the band play GIRL GONE BAD...I remember back in the early 90's listening to this song and thinking, "They need to play this joint with Dave again someday." I never thought I would hear Dave sing GIRL GONE BAD with Eddie at his side.

My baby is almost here. My wife and my best friend were at my side. My wife is 7 months and danced with me to DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY. And this night was one of the greatest of my life.

Long live Dave. Long live fucking Van Halen.

dave is going to get slammed the whole tour unless he figures it out. Seems like alot is self inflicted to me ! Everywhere you look he is getting slammed for the headset. It's just a fact & his ego to me seems to be getting in the way of his job this tour. I'm bored with all the slamming he is taking, some by me, but still will be happy to see them. Did he keep the regular mic all night after the switch ? He should be using the same shit he used in 07 ! All the sudden he needs to experiment !? Stupid in my eye's.

Awesome man!

Glad you had a good time. Don't forget to send me a family pic

Any reason we were getting a bit of a bad vibe from the Chicago thread about

issues tonight?

[SNIPER]

I see this all the time in life. Everybody is always trying to fix shit that's not broke

[VAiN]

So there was no surprise song tonight? Back to 'Outta Love'?
