It ain't all about the singer...

No, that's not the point. Thankfully, Hagar confirmed that he won't be playing ANY Roth-era stuff on this tour. The ads are therefore misleading and imply that those songs will be heard.

Here's a alleged setlist for the tour...

1) Poundcake
2) Dreams
3) Panama
4) Don't Tell Me (What Love Can Do)

7) I Can't Drive (65)
8) Ain't Talkin' Bout Love
9) Best of Both Worlds
10) Runaround
11) Eagles Fly / Sammy's Tequila Thing (Acoustic)
12) Eddie's Acoustic Bit (Spanish Fly, etc...)
13) Finish What Ya Started (Acoustic)
14) Ice Cream Man
15) Eddie's Guitar Solo
16) Amsterdam
17) Bad Motor Scooter
18) Humans Being

20) Up For Breakfast
21) 5150
22) Fire in the Hole (Mikey Sings)

As much as Dave is the tops when it comes VH singers... Ed, Al and Michael can't be discounted... It ain't all about the singer...

You're right it isn't all about the singer. It is about the singer and his incredible stage persona. Dave is 100% of Van Halen. Ed, Al, and Mike are 75% of nothing.

That's a mighty damn long set list for a reputed 35-45 minute show...

It would also be a mighty damn long set list for a 90 minute show.

Which hargarita came up with this?

Only two people in that band were what one could call extraordinary.

Eddie, for his guitar and Dave for his abilities as a frontman.

The parts of Alex and Michael could have been played by anyone else.

Who's more responsible for the band's success?

Just take a good hard look at what happened after Dave was gone.

They became mediocre.

Ten years later, the mere hint of a reunion with Dave at a music awards show, prompted a standing ovation.

They fucked that up royally by hiring another singer.

After that, they became horrible enough to have been dropped by their record label.

Which brings us to today.

Now, we see a band trying to get one last payday by milking what little is left of their fame. Radio stations all over the country promote this disaster by playing the songs that got them famous. Incidentally, these are the very songs they will not be performing because they were done by David Lee Roth and Sammy just can't pull them off without sounding ridiculous.

Like the read...

and damn...I would love it if they put out a double disc (ie: to much money for shit), or even better...a double disc...with the first disc...

nobody will buy that shit...

Performance Royalties
refer to the money that must be given to the copyright holder(s) every time the composition is "performed". Every radio station, club, restaraunt, and retail store (that plays music) is liable to pay the copyright holder every time they play the composition. Since you can't be there all the time checking up on these people, companies like BMI ASCAP GEMA etc were created by artists (back in the day) to administer these copyrights.

Dave better get paid royalties if any body else performs any classic vh tunes on tour. He was a co-author of all those tunes including Spanish Fly. That's Why Sammy gets mad when they perform them live and he screws up the song....

Can't you See me Standin' here I got my ass 'gainst the Glass of a HotDog Machine...I think you know what I mean..Wanna Feel What I mean?????

Hmmm...

Thanks Rogue...

Nice

[ELVIS]

I can't believe you took the time to make this crap...



Disgusting

[Hecubus]

I concur. It's shameful for Hagar's face & the classic logo to share the same pic....

Good read, RogueHorse!!

Yes take a good hard look and you will see that VH stayed successful while DLR's solo career floundered.

Even with a third singer the band could sell 500,000 CDs and that's more than the last 3 DLR CDs combined.

Take a good long look indeed.

Over and Out,

Anthony doesn't play the bass on the records in the studio so why don't they get a session player in for bass and make him front man? At least he's willing to play Van Halen songs.
You're an on crack Hagarita if you think this is the setlist.
