Fucking KILLER!

What this band is doing with the setlist on this tour is just fucking great. If they throw out LUTS at one of these shows, I will jizz myself.

While nothing they would do at this point, would surprise me, I am grateful they are still surprising me. Make sense?

Yep...and I hope, like we all do....that all this points to another 50 dates being added to this kick-ass tour, real soon!

From Lou... Roth remains the weak link though he was better tonight than in Atlantic City. He at least pretended he wanted to be there, he engaged the crowd...

I'm a bit puzzled by this remark. Has anyone seen a show whereby Dave appeared to be mailing his enthusiasm in? Sure, he's clearly getting his throat kicked in with the non-stop-barrage sets they've been doing, but pretending to want to be there? Doesn't sound like the Dave I had seen.

I've been laughing all day about that post from sadaist with the picture of the former Peggy Mills McCartney.

Nice to see LOUise is still a cluebag!

Don't worry about Lou. He'd rather be having 12 hours of tantric sex with Sting....

I'm surprised no one noticed that the Blood & Fire backing vocals were Bozolewski's, piped in.









Wolf is fuckin Dan-ge-rous.
Gotta love that kid.

[Catfish]

Damn... what the fuck happened to that guy?
Von Halen, he was your best friend wasn't he?

Von Halen doesn't have any friends!

Damn--everyone's bagging on Reading, PA., but then the boys came out and shocked the world there, eh? I think Blood and Fire is a dumb song, but I'm fired up they added it! I don't recall Jamie's Cryin' being played during the last tour, but they're saying it was?

Yeah, Wolf sounds great, but I too think his high reaching tone in this song live is throwing Dave a bit of a curve ball. I'd love it if Ed would chime in with his growl on that chorus but I'm thinking he's staying away from it because the vocal melody is different from the guitar melody.

[Catfish]

Just read on twitter than Jamie's Cryin replaced HAIL and Blood and Fire replaced Trouble With Never.

That's a shame about Trouble with Never being replaced, even if it's for a new song. They should be adding more ADKOT songs and taking off shit like Pretty Woman.

May you be heard, my friend. But I doubt it. That shitty song (never liked it, sorry) has been a hit. No way they'll drop it. The only time I've listened to it on this tour was when Dave stopped the fight. And I switched to the next song when they played it again.
Once again, I fuckin hate Pretty Woman.

[Catfish]

I don't hate Pretty Woman, per se, I just find it a bit uninspired live. Now, if they kicked it off with Intruder, I'd blow a load in my underoos!

His pal LUTS was a big Hagar fan if I remember correctly.

Well, yeah, he was friends with Von Halen... They used to go to Van Hagar shows together. I recall that one photo of the two of them in the VIP section during the 'Balance' tour.

[Catfish]

I'm gonna be fucken mad if they play Blood and Fire instead of The Trouble with Never at my VH shows!

Good fuckin' grief!

Is that true??
