Originally posted by Brett Brett's reaction is, who cares Marky Mark. They can cancel all 40 dates as long as the ones I paid for tickets for still happen. Unlike you guys, I don't give a shit if the tour flops, as long as I go.
I didn't even know anyone live in Richmond, VA.
Why don't you go say that to the Linkers who live in Richmond, BITCH? Of course you won't say that over there now will you.
c'mon thefive: it doesn't disappoint you that Dave has had poor records sales and concert attendance? This translates directly to the long periods of time we have to wait for him to record new albums and it translates directly to me just seeing him at a partially filled Beacon Theatre (not that big) rather than playing 2 nights in an arena. We all can love all of the things he can control like his music, the things he says, the people he plays with, but it is just common sense that he didn't leave Van Halen with the intention or vision of being so far from the success he had. You can't deny that
See I really don't think Dave cares about his record sales or concert attendance. I don't think he worries about that anymore, just does his own thing. I'm sure he knows he's never going to have the stardom he once did, and so what. As long as he plays and keeps his fans happy. Although I totally disagree with doing an album of shitty covers, and shows consisting mostly of VH songs. Drop more solo stuff in there, and do an album of good original music Dave.
Right - Dave is going to do what he is going to do and live a life many of us (if not all of us) would only wish we could live. More records sold and more concert attendance would translate into more music for us and more touring. He wouldn't disappear for the long stretches like does sometimes and tour with that boy lover Hagar if was a top draw.
Richmond is about 90 miles from here, so I can't tell ya about the rock community there, maybe "Dave's Dradle" can...
But if it's anything like this area, I'm not surprised at all that they cancelled, regardless of the fact that they didn't want to see Van Hagar....
This area sells out very few shows, whether it's in the 10,000 seat Scope arena in Norfolk for Metallica this past Monday (plenty of upper deck seats), to the Ampitheater here in my back yard (20,000 capacity)....
I tell ya who sells out here, fucking Dave Matthews and Jimmy Buffett.... Every year they're here, sold out...
